Chapter 145 - Framed

( PurpleHaze city , virtual world )

A group of 50 guards and 4 Emmisary's from Nine clouds kingdom rode together towards the guild headquarters of the Demolitionboys in the outer district.

When the enterouge of the red armour wearing guards on white horse mounts travelled through the inner city , they naturally gained a lot of attention from the common players on the streets , who followed them to see what they were upto.

Naturally most of those who followed were hoping for a special event or such to happen , however many just followed for the show as it was bound to be entertaining.

When the enterouge stopped infront of the Demolitionboys headquarters , many murmurings could be heard from the common public.

Everyone was curious as to why they stopped before the guild headquarters and what that implied? But as things could potentially get interesting, many started recording the event.

Amongst the crowd was a struggling live streamer , called dewdiepie he had a small fanbase , but he had yet to go viral and grab the big stage. He was naturally hungry for content hence he pushed his way to the best possible angle and began livestreaming in a best possible spot.

His stream titled " Guards at Demolitionboys HQ , whats going down? ".

It had currently 67 viewers and the number was growing.

Some Demolitionboys guild members wearing the guild robes were near the entrance and they naturally enquired about the sudden visit from the guards , and some people informed the higher ups.

One of the Royal guards announced loudly " WE HAVE AN IMPERIAL VERDICT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR , THE SUN OF HAZELGROOVE KINGDOM , THE MIGHTY WARRIOR , CERVANTEZ91 TO INSPECT THE GUILDS ASSETS , YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO COMPLY WITH THE WARRENT , OR WE HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO USE FORCE".

A loud commotion broke out , the guild was under inspection? What shady buisness did they commit to anger the emperor himself?

Everyone started discussing at this point , and the Demolitionboys guild members naturally panicked. They were absolutely clueless as to what to do , however to their releif INeedToSmash came out to address the situation.

INeedToSmash looked at the swarm of people infront of him as well as the royal guards and he contemplated for a while . Although he was no longer the vice guildmaster of the guild after his last slip up in buying advanced mana potions , he was still a core member and a higher up in the organization.

INeedToSmash thought about the guilds activities and he found nothing that could implicate the guild. Although the guild extorted money and essentials from passing adventurers , they did not take part in any illegal activities that could stir trouble on a kingdom scale.

INeedToSmash thought that this was his redeeming chance , as he began his act , he prostrated himself on the ground , as he began to speak , his face facing the ground and his hands over his head in a namaste as he said " The lowly citizen greets the royal soldiers of Hazelgroove. If his emminance himself as questioned our guilds activities , then it is a big disgrace for us righteous adventurers , we are law abiding citizens of the country , please feel free to inspect the guild premises , i assure you , no illegal activities would be found ".

INeedToSmash made a compelling performance , some people in the audience were moved , however the Emmisary's from Nineclouds kingdom bought none of it .

One of the Emmisary said " How dare you despicable theif play innocent !!! ".

INeedToSmash pretended to be shocked , as he clutched his heart in pain as he rolled on the ground . Then suddenly he stood up and roared " SLANDERRRR !!!! ".

Fifteen swords pointed at his throat at that point , and INeedToSmash understood that he was in no position to play games . Hence he went back to playing victim.

He clutched his chest and through ragged breathing said " We are the most ideal guild , the most Kingdom centric guild , we are innocent men , we are no theives , that man with you lies! We have Nothing to hide , please sire beleive us ".

It was at this point that guild leader Ilovesmashing came out along with guild elders.

Ilovesmashing was a bit worried that one of the guild members had pissed off some bigshot and robbed them or something , hence he very carefully asked ." I am the guildmaster , may i know which crime warranted the search of my guild? ".

The Emmisary's from Nineclouds kingdom were livid now , as there was no limit to how innocent the other party tried to potray themseleves as they said " Does robbing the royal treasury of Nineclouds kingdom ring a bell? ".

Murmurs could be heard everywhere ..... Robbing the royal treasury? Who did something soo amazing? What exactly is goin on ?

Dewdiepie s stream had suddenly gained momentum as over 25,000 people were watching his content currently. Everyone commenting enthusiastically about how they felt over the development.

Ilovesmashing frowned ..... Then after a while he had a wide smile .... This was a misunderstanding , he was sure that the guild did no such crimes , he could open the guild to investigations without problems.

It was then that INeedToSmash creeped beside Ilovesmashing and whispered in his ear " Boss lets invite the crowd outside to witness the investigation , since we are innocent might as well have witnesses and play the victim once we come out clean.... Maybe we would gain some popularity and get more recruits ".

Ilovesmashing nodded at the brilliant idea and gladly agreed as he said " We are a righteous guild , naturally we will accept the investigations and co-operate with the search , you may feel free to look around ".

Then he looked at the assembled crowd and said " everyone here is free to come enter the guild premises just for a few hours to witness the investigations and our honesty".

Cheers could be heard from the crowd as they felt very exited . Who would want to waste such a chance?

Alas it would turn out to be that it was the worst decision Ilovesmashing made in his entire life that he would regret forever.
