Chapter 57: Raid Team Assembled!
Entering the guild, Luis and Alicia were led inside the monitoring room. There they met Jack, who was talking to a brown-haired, thin man wearing glasses. At the sudden appearance of the two, the man coughed and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Greetings Master Luis and Lady Alicia."
Then, giving a gentlemanly bow, he introduced himself. "I am Dellard, a B-rank awakened and also a member of the intelligence team of the Guild."
Luis felt that he was familiar with this person, but didn't know where. 'Was he a character in the game?' Even if he was, Luis couldn't remember. 'Well, that's not important right now.'
Giving a slight nod, he said. "Nice to meet you, Dellard."
Then, turning to look at Jack, he asked. "What did you find, Jack?"
"You were right, Master Luis. Ren Varnish is indeed connected to that organization."
Alicia, who had already expected it because of her confidence in Luis, still couldn't stop the trembling of her hands. Not because of fear, but because of anger and excitement. Finally, after all these years, she could take her revenge.
Luis noticed Alicia's abnormality but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Jack and asked calmly.
"Did you find out where they are?"
Hearing Luis' question, Alicia also calmed down and brought her attention back to the conversation.
Jack didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head to the thin man beside him and gestured something. Adjusting his glasses, Dellard nodded seriously.
With a few clicks on the screen beside him, Dellard turned on the hologram. The next moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a map of a forest terrain.
Then, zooming in, Jack showed the picture of a ruin and said expressionlessly.
"These are the ruins of the fallen kingdom. And also, their current base."
His statement shocked Luis. "A ruin of the fallen kingdom?"
Dellard nodded his head and said. "A decade ago, that place has been searched and nothing of use was found. So it was left as it is and it has now become a monster-infested zone."
Luis nodded, remembering the details of that place. 'Isn't this the area where the hallucination herb is found? No wonder this place is left like that. No monster would leave the forest became of their addiction to that herb.'
'But that ruin, isn't that where the Ruined Temple of the summoner's quest is?'
Luis didn't expect the organization's previous base to be there.
'I wonder, did they not find the artifact or did they deliberately leave it there?'
Whatever it was, Luis didn't care. For now, what he cares most about is.
"Lily, scan the area and prepare the best battle plan."
{Yes, Master.} Her voice sounded from the speakers inside the monitoring room.
Dellard was surprised when he heard Lily's voice. But looking at the reactions of others, he also stood quietly.
Alicia, who heard Luis' statement, glinted in her eyes and her palms clenched into tight fists.
Then, looking at Jack, Luis immediately commanded.
"Jack, mobilize a raid team. We are going to wipe them out."
But before Jack could say anything, a loud voice interrupted them.
"They are here!"
"What! Dad?!" Luis was surprised as he saw Ronald entering the monitoring room imposingly. Lumine was also following behind him.
"Uncle?! Aunt?!"
Alicia was also surprised as she looked at them.
Ronald walked up to Luis and said, "The team is ready. They are waiting for your commands."
As Jack had already reported to Ronald before contacting Luis. Ronald has already prepared the raid team to assemble.
Luis was taken aback for a moment. Then asked unsurely.
"Dad, is it alright for me to command them in your place?"
Ronald looked at his son with a smile and said. "Of course, I trust you won't disappoint me."
Luis nodded solemnly and said. "You can rest assured, Dad."
Ronald smiled in satisfaction.
At this moment, Lumine went up to hug Alicia and said. "I am going to fight, too."
Luis wasn't much surprised when he heard his mother say that. In the face of the murderers of her best friend who also attempted to kill her son, how can she remain calm?
{Master Luis, the raid plan is ready.}
"Good job, Lily. Send it to the raid team."
He knew that the raid team members were all veterans. They will be able to assess it well.
Then finally Luis turned to look at Alicia, who was also looking at him with fierceness in her eyes. With a faint smile on his face, he uttered.
"It's time for revenge."

*Chop* *Chop* *Chop* (The whirring sounds of helicopters.)
Looking at the tandem-rotor helicopter in front of him which looked extremely similar to the Boeing CH-47 Chinook from his previous life, Luis shouted with mana in filled in his voice.
"Everyone follow up!"
All the raid team members were experienced veterans. They all knew Luis' identity and were extremely optimistic about the battle plan he sent. So even if their commander was just a teenager, who was decades younger than them. In front of such competence, they had no qualms following his command.
Only Dellard walked up to Luis and reminded him. "Master Luis, this is an A-rank mission. We can use transport circles."
It was not that he wanted to oppose Luis. He just felt it was unnecessary.
In the guild, for the missions far from Tryston city excluding the missions below C rank, the guild members are already accustomed to using Transport Circles.
Luis shook his head with a chuckle and said. "I just want to experience this kind of feeling for my first raid mission."
Hearing this, Dellard seemed to realize something, and nodded knowingly.
In fact, it was not only Dellard, but everyone in the raid team thought that Luis was just being cost efficient and was giving excuses.
Jack looked at Luis skeptically. But of course, he didn't raise his doubts.
Lumine pouted and didn't believe him at all. She knew there must be a reason. Otherwise, why would Luis, who drinks millions worth of elixirs every day, care about transport costs?
Alicia and Ronald were the same. They knew Luis must have a reason to do this.
And sure enough, as soon as everyone sat inside the helicopter, Luis said.
"Jack, Lily, I want the information regarding this mission to be hidden for as long as possible. Especially it shouldn't reach the imperial city."
His tone was extremely solemn as he continued.
"I don't want either the Church or the Royal family to know about it until after the mission."
