Worthless piece of trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as he spoke, memories surfaced unbidden. A scrawny teenager with defiant eyes.

Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed internally, but he knew that feeling well. Whenever he looked at James, the crowned prince of the military.

Documents signed. Procedures established. Schedules tentatively arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina lingered as the others departed. Her hips moved seductively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the door, she paused and glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met across the empty council chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blood-red lips curved into a smile that promised either ecstasy or annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she winked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gesture sent an involuntary shudder down Arthur's spine, it wasn't necessarily fear, but caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd encountered predators before, and Seraphina Gilderhaven belonged to that category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive doors sealed shut after Arthur had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Caldera's evening bustle filtered through stone walls. The city was no longer just filled with Natives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players wandered the streets in growing numbers, though most clustered around levels ten to thirteen. The sight no longer surprised Arthur—not everyone possessed multiple SSS-rank talents like he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their progression was natural with expected limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council meeting's conclusion had brought unexpected benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty wishes to provide appropriate accommodations for Power Guild,\" the minister announced. \"Where would you prefer your headquarters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur didn't hesitate. \"The central plaza. Where new arrivals spawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prime real estate. Maximum visibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minister's eyebrows rose slightly, but he nodded. \"It shall be arranged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect positioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur surveyed the plaza in his mind's eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every player teleporting to Caldera will see the natives first, then Power Guild. Direct marketing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within hours, construction crews began reworking a building in the plaza with supernatural efficiency. They all had talents that helped them finish the project within an extremely short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guild headquarters rose from the plaza's heart—not ostentatious, but impossible to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building commanded attention through presence rather than ornament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The headquarters has been changed,\" Ethan sent Gates a message, letting him know about the new events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The new location is..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. Everything is falling into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one loose thread remained. Arthur's expression grew thoughtful as he considered his outstanding obligations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Ashencroft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bastard son had provided crucial assistance during Arthur's early days in Caldera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should let him know about the new headquarters, he is part of the guild after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur headed back to the old headquarters for the time being. The workers had told him to return in thirty minutes, and all arrangements would be complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty minutes. I will just review the benefits in the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the previous building that had served as Power's old base, Arthur's footsteps echoed through empty corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur entered his private quarters and sealed the door behind him. Not that privacy mattered in an empty building, but old habits died hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft chittering greeted his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master,\" Formicia's voice carried genuine warmth. \"Welcome back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's eyes found the spider queen perched on her web-throne in the corner. But this time, she wasn't alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another spider—smaller but clearly powerful—rested beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander she's been producing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur didn't need explanations. Formicia's project had finally borne fruit. He already possessed one spider commander from Neko's rampage time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Formicia. And welcome to the family,\" he addressed both spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new commander's eight eyes glittered with intelligence and loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur settled at his desk, finally able to examine the cascade of notifications that had been demanding attention. His interface blazed with updates, achievements, and system rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to see what global recognition benefits are about.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-06T12:00:36.157Z",1,"novelbin.me","7367a1d74b2a78de807cf724f4b9078e699210e2eb9cc3f553dd107f82d12ea6","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-311","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-309",601,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-cover.jpg"]
