The man looked unfazed. "I'm not a member of the Holy Sword Society, but I do have some connections there. If you two are heading to Zone 033 to complete the instance, maybe my network could come in handy. Rank-A instances aren't easy to clear."
The middle-aged woman paused briefly before saying to Xu Huo, "A49-033 is the only Rank-A Wormhole Point subzone that recognizes the Holy Sword Society as legitimate. While most Members of the Holy Sword Society keep a low profile, people who know the situation understand just how tight the relationship is between this subzone and the Society."
"With the way the Holy Sword Society operates, they're far less likely to help you clear the instance than to drag you down."
This was an obvious threat.
Xu Huo nodded, "I've heard about the Holy Sword Society's ways."
"I've dealt with Holy Sword Society members too—no idea if every Golden Disciple is as unreasonable as the ones I've met."
