After that, Daniel brought Naya, Sara, and Lioren back to the capital and took them straight to the central headquarters of the Everlight Moon Guild, which was currently the best choice.
At the same time, news of the destruction of all the terrorist bases and the death of all of them spread across the country and even the region, causing widespread reactions, shock, and disbelief.
Terrorists that several guilds and even the government had failed to eliminate, even by working together, were destroyed this easily in less than an hour.
What was even stranger was that, according to witnesses, the terrorists were suddenly attacked by unknown monsters and slaughtered by them.
This made the situation even more shocking. At the same time, it caused both fear and happiness among the people.
Happiness because the terrorists had been destroyed and the country’s borders were safe again, but fear because they had been destroyed by unknown monsters.
Unknown was equal to danger, and the fact that they were killed by unknown monsters was even more worrying.
All national institutions and government intelligence organizations immediately got to work to uncover the truth. As the news spread further, even neighboring countries had no choice but to pay attention and try to find out what exactly had happened.
At the same time, while the whole country was in chaos, there was complete calm inside the Everlight Moon Guild.
"Big sis, I missed you so much," Naya hugged Lana tightly and didn’t want to leave her sister’s arms.
"It’s all over now. You’re here," Lana sighed and hugged her sister just as tightly. She also didn’t want to let Naya go.
During this time, she had truly been worried about Naya and had even decided to hand over the guild’s ultimate weapon. But Daniel’s presence, like a miracle, solved all the problems.
Now she and her sister were together again, and most importantly, her sister was completely safe. She just looked frightened.
On the other side, in one of the guild’s medical research sections, Lioren’s body lay on a bed, and Awakened doctors who specialized in such matters were working over him.
Sara stood outside the room, watching her brother’s condition through a glass window. Although she still looked worried, relief could be seen deep in her eyes.
She had finally accomplished the goal for which she had endured all the hardships of her life, and now her brother was safe.
However, for a moment, killing intent flashed in her eyes. She had not forgotten that the bastards who did this to her brother and destroyed her family deserved to be destroyed.
Her path was not over, not until she found the real bastards behind all of this and tore them apart.
"You should get some rest. They’re taking care of your brother," Daniel said, standing beside her after seeing her condition.
One look was enough to tell that in all these years, this girl had never had a good night’s sleep.
"I can’t. Not at least until I’m sure my brother will be okay."
"Don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll recover," Daniel replied calmly. Then, seeing that Sara didn’t want to talk more for now, he left and went to the guild leader’s office.
Lana was sitting behind her desk, drinking tea. However, Naya was nowhere to be seen.
"Where’s that little girl?"
"She was very tired. It was clear she hadn’t slept for a while. After she calmed down a bit, I sent her home to get some rest."
"Has the news about the terrorists’ destruction spread?" Daniel sat down on a chair.
"Yes. It’s causing serious public unrest. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not." She sighed and put her teacup on the desk.
"I guess it was expected. After all, I destroyed them a bit too fast. You should use this chance and say it was our guild’s work."
"Are you sure? Everyone saw those monsters you used to destroy them. If we say it was us, people might fear us even more. In the long term, that could cause many alliances to form against us." Lana was hesitant. She had thought about this herself but didn’t know what to do.
"It doesn’t matter. Fear can help a lot in the short and mid term. That’s enough to buy us some time. Even a few months to a year is enough," Daniel replied.
His growth speed was explosive, and he was planning to soon challenge the fourth floor of the Tower and reach S-rank. After that, he would challenge the fifth and sixth floors.
For all of this, he needed about three to at most six months. During that time, he could definitely get close to national-level Awakened or even reach it.
At that point, he wouldn’t even need to worry about a Heavenly King anymore and could deal with them easily. The Goblin Guild would no longer be any threat either.
At that time, he could establish the Everlight Moon Guild’s position as the strongest in the country and finally go to the Central Continent.
"Alright, I’ll do it," Lana said after a moment of thought and agreed.
"But we need some proof that really shows it was our work," she added.
"Take these two with you in front of the press." Daniel waved his hand, and two of his most powerful Fallen suddenly appeared in front of them.
For a moment, seeing them and feeling their auras, Lana almost fell off her chair in fear.
So these were the monsters that destroyed the terrorists? The aura coming from both of them was enough to make her body tremble.
And these two serve Daniel? According to the news that had spread, there had been hundreds of them fighting the terrorists.
Doesn’t that mean Daniel has an incredibly powerful personal army?
Then Daniel left without saying anything more.
However, he didn’t know that the decision he made today would not buy them time at all. Instead, it would make the situation far more dangerous.
