Wood Grand: I Won't Let You Die Too Easily

"What happened to the task I gave you?" Sannis asked one of his lackeys beside him.

Ever since the Guild issued his expulsion order, he had lost all the prestige he once enjoyed.

Before, he had worn a white butler's uniform and silver-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the refined gentleman—though in truth, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Now, Sannis was in a pitiful state. The lenses of his glasses were cracked, he reeked of filth, and he didn't have a single Fali to his name.

Just yesterday, he had been a big shot in Orario. He had ruled his entire Familia single-handedly, with a horde of lackeys at his beck and call and vast sums of money there for the taking.

But in the space of a single day, Sannis had gone from living in luxury to becoming a prisoner. Now, he was being driven out like a beaten dog.

And the person responsible for his miserable fate was none other than one man!

Wood Grand! If that bastard hadn't come along and ruined everything, Sannis would still be living a life of wine and women.

That was right. There was no doubt about it: the person Sannis hated most now was Wood.

He hated Wood even more than Lili, who had set the whole chain of events in motion; more than Soma, who had left him to die; and more than the Guild, which had expelled him.

But he knew that, judging by the strength Wood had shown, their chances of getting revenge were practically nonexistent.

And that was before you considered that their Falna had been taken away, their Adventurer status revoked, and they'd been expelled from Labyrinth City.

But having no hope of taking revenge directly didn't mean they couldn't use a few underhanded tricks
