Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 204

"We have to tell the Chief," Wyveria said as she stood up. "Kyle, come with me."

Kyle nodded, and Wyveria led him to the Chief's office.

She opened the door without knocking and just barged in.

The Chief was currently reading some random book about history with his back to the big window in his office.

"Yes?" the Chief asked without looking up from his book.

"This is about the Cult of the Final Fate. They want to summon the Devourer!" Wyveria shouted with annoyance and urgency.

"And how do you know that?" the Chief asked.

"He knows," Wyveria said, shoving Kyle forward.

"How do you know that?" the Chief asked evenly, looking at Kyle.

"Trade secret," Kyle answered. "Just know that I know."

"What is a Devourer?" the Chief asked calmly.

"A black behemoth with tentacles and eyes. It devours Ether and explodes," Kyle answered.

The Chief just nodded calmly before looking at his book again.

"How long until it gets summoned?"

"Three days after the first sign of mass death," Kyle answered.

The Chief nodded calmly again.

"And the first signs were observed when?"

"Two days ago," Kyle answered.

"So, how long until the Devourer appears?"

"A day," Kyle said.

"So, there's no Devourer. It's just a group of fanatics with a Demon Master," the Chief said.

Kyle frowned. "Yes."

"Then, where's the problem?" the Chief asked, looking at Wyveria.

"Don't play these stupid games with me!" Wyveria shouted with disgust. "If our information is just a little off, this entire city might vanish! Thousands will die! This is not something for a Fighter Guild! This is a matter of national importance!"

The Chief turned the page of his book.

"Do you want a statue of your own in the square?" he asked.

"I don't care about some stupid statue!" Wyveria shouted. "I don't want to risk the lives of thousands of people for some glory!"

The Chief turned another page.

"Why not?" he asked calmly.

Wyveria's eyes narrowed in hatred.

She didn't even know how to respond to such a comment.

"Why are you such an asshole?"

The Chief and Wyveria looked at Kyle, who had just spoken up.

"Asshole?" the Chief asked.

"Yeah, asshole," Kyle answered. "Isn't it in the guild rules not to be an asshole? You're being a huge asshole right now."

"Why are you being an asshole?"

"Did the Count anger you or something? Do you want to ruin his city because of some sort of tantrum?"

"Hurr, durr, you shouldn't have stolen my cookie! Now, I will kill all of your family and peasants."

"You're an asshole," Kyle said.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the room became oppressive.

Kyle felt it much harder to breathe, and his instincts were shouting at him that he was about to die.

Wyveria narrowed her eyes and stepped between Kyle and the Chief.

However, the pressure didn't alleviate.

It was like Wyveria's presence made no difference.

The next moment, the entire Ace Team stormed through the door and stepped between Kyle and the Chief.

Finally, Kyle felt the pressure decreasing.

However, the Chief acted like the Ace Team wasn't even there.

He only looked at Kyle.
