James paused when he saw Ariel\'s face and asked with a smile, "You look upset, did I do something wrong?" the answer he received was the answer that ordered him to keep his smile on his face at all times:

"You laugh like my daughter, you\'re like a copy of her."

"Well...I\'m honoured!" James suddenly said and then smiled as he sat back down in the chair, before looking at Ariel and saying "I cannot offer you the position of Vice-Guildmaster, Lady Ariel, but I can offer you the rank of First Commander."

Ariel accepted with great happiness and then asked the question on her mind:

"But why not the position of Vice-Guildmaster?"

Hearing this question, James shook his head and then replied, "That position is being held for someone very important and it will be a very, very long time before I get there, although by the time I get there, she will have already passed the 100th floor."

Ariel asked with a small chuckle, "Who\'s the lucky person?" and James replied, "Nemesis of course, who else could it be?"

He had no idea how much this pleased Nemesis, but he couldn\'t even try to think about it right now, which is why he immediately opened the Guild Panel and sent an invitation to Ariel.

When Ariel saw the invitation that had suddenly appeared in front of her, she immediately pressed acceptance and then smiled and said, "Let\'s get along, leader." It was obvious that she said this jokingly.

James had an even bigger smile when he heard those words and realised that Ariel\'s name was shining in the commander\'s area of the Guild Panel, there was no way to describe his happiness.

With that, he stood up and then said, "Then let\'s rest, shall we? Tomorrow is going to be a very challenging time for me and I have a task for you to do tomorrow, don\'t worry, you won\'t have to fight."

Ariel stood up when she heard those words and then said, "Sure, just say the word," and accepted the task without hearing it.

"I died, you know, just the day before, and the perpetrator escaped, and Lady Nyx took care of things in the god dimension, but she didn\'t take care of things on this floor, so I\'ll leave that to you."

Ariel\'s eyes became emotionless as James spoke these words and then asked the following question:

"What was the reason he tried to kill you?"

"I think it\'s because I have a better life than he does, I don\'t know what to tell you," James replied in surprise.

The anger on Ariel\'s face was clear and unmistakable, I think she was really starting to see her own daughter in James.

"I will accomplish the mission Umbra, don\'t worry." said Ariel abruptly and prepared to leave the area, just then James pulled out some nice armour and weapons from his inventory for Ariel to choose from and to Ariel\'s surprise he said, "Call me James, it\'s my real name."

Ariel quickly grabbed a few pieces of armour to equip and then smiled and said, "Well, good luck with that, Little James, I\'ve got to get moving." She soon left the coffeehouse and disappeared.

James was left with the words \'Little James\', he couldn\'t help but laugh.

Now he could return to the arena, that was what he had to do.

"Awhhh...Look at him, saving the position of Vice-Guildmaster for you, Neme." As Hemera said those words, Nemesis turned round and looked at her eldest sister in anger, though she couldn\'t say anything because she didn\'t want Hemera to beat her up.

However, Nemesis was happy, after all, it was the first time she had ever loved someone, and the first time that person had at least said something in return.

That was enough for Nemesis herself.

"Umbra of Chaos and Leon of Olympos to the arena!"

James heard this call from the waiting room and was surprised, everyone in the room was looking at him, it was possible to say that they were as surprised as James.

"I mean...there is a possibility of that happening, after all, how many people are fighting in the arena, right?" James said, and then he got up normally and climbed the stairs.

When he reached the arena, he saw the strange expression on Leon\'s face, as if he was apologising.

"Don\'t hold back Leon, let\'s have a good duel," James said respectfully the referee\'s voice sounded and the match began.

Leon suddenly lunged forward and swung his huge sword at James from above. Even though Leon, a huge man, seemed to be slow, James could clearly understand his speed.

He seemed to be slowing himself down to change his attack.

It was exactly what James had expected because the moment James tried to dodge the attack, Leon changed the direction of his attack and managed to push James back as far as possible.

The attack was not intended to kill, Leon was trying to attack with the side of the sword.

"So you\'re trying not to hurt me and I understand that, but please calm down, you can fight as you like."

James looked at the man as he said these words and saw his expression turn serious and then he heard these words:

"I would be honoured, young master, if I may."

At these words, the aura of the man before him thundered, as if lightning was flashing around him. Leon instantly disappeared from where he was and appeared just to the right of James, his sword was in the air and descending very quickly towards James\' body.

James instantly used his dark step ability and avoided the attack.

It was as if he was facing a duel he could enjoy again.
