It's been few weeks since Kael and Willy had rescued all the prisoners. All those prisoners were either guild members or people who wanted to support guild.
The guild had seized the place where the guild members were taken to as prisoners. The place where Jeff operated was located north west side of H-Type city in an abandoned area.
The Saints had designed that abandoned area into a place where they kept all prisoners.
Furthermore, Guild had found out after the results of investigation that prisoners were digging deeper underground for a specific ancient stone known as Runic Stone.
Jeff was interrogated for more information but that's all the information he had as The Saints never told the full plan to him.

Meanwhile,
In the local guild bar of H-Type city, Kael, Willy, and Noel are gathered together for a meeting whole eating dinner.
"I wonder what kind of stone is that? I wonder why they are so desperate for a mere stone known as Rune Stone or whatever it's name is." said Willy, wondering.
"It's called Runic Stone Willy dumbass. Can't you even remember a name? How come you are a S-Ranked when you don't even know small details?" replied Noel.
"Huuh? Look who is saying who couldn't do anything but got ended up with me in prison too. You should have just ran away to bring guild members when you had a chance but you got caught up protecting me." said Willy, arguing back.
"Urgh! It was to protect your ass fool, you should be responsible but no you didn't! So I took a step in. Ah! Don't take this in weird way! It's because you are dumb-ass!" exclaimed Noel.
Kael silently watched them as he began to realise that they are extremely close and their friendship is deeper despite the argument between them on regular basis...
"Oh look you are making Kael uncomfortable I think, we should stop this argument." said Willy, staring at Kael.
"Oh? You are the one who started it. But I guess it can wait, sorry Kael you always have to see us arguing whenever we meet up.... Nevermind. Let's get to the point. Willy, you can start." said Noel.
"Kael, I have been wondering how you actually got your hands on that bracelet you were equipped with at the prison?" asked Willy, his piercing eyes locked onto Kael's.
Kael didn't respond at all.
"Hm..not going t answer?.... Actually forget about it. We still owe you a debt. You are the one who helped us a lot. Besides I don't see any ill intentions in you. Can I ask you for a favour?" asked Willy.
"Are you seriously dumb or what!? You admit that we owe him a debt and you are shamelessly asking for a favour again?" replied Noel.
"Arhh... can't you shut up Noel. I am the boss here." said Willy.
"Huh!? Since when??" asked Noel.
"Oh for f**k's sake please stop it." said Willy, annoyingly.
"Anyways please ignore that impatient old granny, let's get down to business..." continued Willy.
"Oh? What did you just say to a beauty like me?" asked Noel, in a killing cold aura, smiling forcibly and trying to suppress the rage.
"Well nevermind...." said Noel, realising that it isn't time for this small argument.
Willy turned toward Kael as began to speak.
"Kael, I apologise that we are asking for you to help us again. We will repay our debt but you gotta help us since we all share one goal- to bring down The Saints and other six organizations." said Willy.
Kael listened very carefully as he ate some snacks instead of eating dinner.
"Well, I won't be asking why do you love snacks instead of dinner." said Willy, glancing at snacks Kael was eating.
"Anyways, what I want to ask or rather request you is....to join our party. You see, guild operates globally. Any adventurer can either complete tasks solo or with a party." continued Willy.
"Kael, you are a B- Ranked Adventurer. It means you are also qualified to take an important global task distributed across. B-Rank is minimum requirement for that."
Willy paused for a moment, glances around and spoke once more.
"There is something important I want to investigate about the Seven Deadly Organizations. Runic Stones are one of them. I need some trusted members to support Noel and me. Can I trust you?" asked Willy.
Kael accepted the offer as Willy sighed in relief.
"Thanks.... Although I will follow the task distributed to bring down all organizations. We want to investigate few things on our own..." said Willy.
"These Organizations....well let's go outside after eating dinner. I don't want anyone to hear us." continued Willy.
After few time had passed, all three of them went outside.
"Kael....I hate these organizations. Guild wants to know what these organizations are upto including The Saints. Why they want a normal stone known to be Runic Stone? But there is more." said Willy.
"Why these organizations don't target civilians? Why they target guild? Do they want to destroy guild to ruin the world structure somehow? Even if they do that, I don't think the king of Valerith Kingdom will sit back quietly and endure them." said Willy.
"And why they are looking for specific stones? And if they don't plan to destroy guild or something as it may be their secondary plan, then why they are provoking guild to this extent? I mean they can just silently do their work or take civilians as slave?" asked Willy.
"It's not just The Saints. Every organization is working against guild and they never target civilians. Thy are after some specific stones. I don't know what they are all planning but they are united that is certain. I am having a bad feeling about this." continued Willy.
"Kael, I don't think Guild can easily stop these organizations with their typical method. Which is why we are willing to break some laws in order to bring down these organizations. This is my main point." said Willy.
Kael observed Willy's serious claim to go against Guild's rules if he can bring down the The Seven Deadly Organizations.
Noel seemed to be serious as well as if she was also prepared for this.
"So let me ask you again....are you going to help us? I don't want you to get in trouble of course but we need all the help we could get. But if you don't want to then please atleast don't reveal our plan or anything. I just felt like trusting you. You are different from others after all." asked Willy...
