Villain With The Strongest System-Chapter 6: No Progress

Karna observed the mana flow within Rocky's body and although he did not let any emotion appear on his face, he was secretly impressed by Rocky's post awakening mana flow.

It was unregulated and flowing haphazardly through his body, however, the flow seemed smooth and his body seemed naturally attuned to circulating mana which was rare in new awakeners.

"So, guildmaster, did you find any clues regarding my sister?" Rocky asked, as he looked towards Karna with hopeful eyes, however, Karna only grit his teeth and remained silent.

" To be honest Rocky, we have no credible leads.

Our top investigator Bo suspects that it's the work of Olympus agents, but we're not sure.

I've been personally looking for any clues that could help us find her for the past 20 hours, but it's a complete ghost job.

We have no hot trails.

We have no information about her condition.

We have no information on what the enemy wants from her.

The guild information agents have been notified within the tower and are actively trying to dig up information regarding this hit, however, it will take time....." Karna said begrudgingly as Rocky felt his hope being crushed.

" I will not leave any leaf unturned in my commitment to find her and even if we have to enter into a war with another tower faction over her. I will not hesitate.

We here at the True Elites have a motto we live by

'One for all and all for one'

Since Riva is one of us, we will never let her be harmed" Karna said as he expressed his genuine desire to locate and save Riva at any cost necessary.

" I understand guildmaster..... thank you for all your efforts" Rocky said with a deflated voice as he understood just how much Karna was doing for Riva, however, he was sad that it bore no tangible results.

" In your sister's absence, I feel responsible towards your upbringing and I'm putting Amelia in-charge of you.

If I understand correctly, you still have to finish your normal high school which lasts till this March and only then shall you be allowed to enter the tower as per the association laws.

Am I right?" Karna asked as Rocky nodded in response.

Although he had been selected as a Climber, according to association laws, nobody was granted a climbers permit without having at least a high school degree and hence it was mandatory for Rocky to finish school which ended in March.

" It's just three months, finish school and get your license, depending on what field you're talented in, the guild will then help you select an appropriate university within the tower.

Although we can't replace your sister, think of this guild as your extended family while she's not around.

We will be here for you" Karna said as Rocky felt moved by his words.

How could a man of his stature, who was so strong, also be so calm, reasonable and compassionate?

Rocky did not understand why teen girls fawned all over Karna in his school before, however, he understood why they did now.

Karna was just so charismatic that anyone would have a crush on him and today Rocky became a fanboy as well.

"Thank you guildmaster, I really appreciate your support. free(w)ebnovel

If I can in any way help out with the investigation or anything else in general, please let me know" Rocky said as Karna nodded his head in approval.

Karna was glad that Rocky did not make unreasonable demands such as being put on the investigation team himself or throw a tantrum at the lack of progress.

He fully expected a guy his age to behave immaturely, but Rocky handled it really well.

As Rocky left the guildmaster cabin, he saw Joe loitering right outside, as once he saw Rocky he signaled him to come closer.

" What did the guildmaster say? Was there any progress in the investigation?" Joe asked in a hushed voice as he put his arm around Rocky's shoulder, however, Rocky felt really awkward as to why Joe was asking him this question when he was a part of the investigation unit himself.

"Nothing much" Rocky replied as at that moment Amelia walked into the hall prompting Joe to release him.

" Take care boy. If you need anything, always know that Uncle Joe is here for you-" he said loudly as he patted twice on Rocky's back before nodding towards Amelia and walking away.

Amelia squinted her eyes monitoring the exchange but said nothing. free novelkiss.com

" Miss Amelia, guildmaster told me that you will be taking care of me, I have no clue what that's supposed to mean" Rocky said when he saw Amelia as the secretory let out a deep sigh.

" Rocky, don't ever tell anyone what the guildmaster tells you okay? Especially nothing about the case of your sister.

Just consider this topic to be sensitive and not to be discussed in public.

Also yes, I've been given additional duty of being your caretaker and I must warn you I'm a very disciplined aunt.

You will be temporarily living with me until your school ends and I will not let you slack off.

Whether it's studies, nutrition, sleep or fitness, I will expect you to perform adequately, you understand?" Amelia said as she sternly looked towards Rocky.

" I understand...." Rocky replied as although he had a thousand different questions, he did not voice them at the moment since he did not wish to be an annoyance.
