Chapter 156: The Secret Meeting
Jake had just finished getting his armour from Dame and also inviting him into his Guild by informing him that the leader was the werewolf slayer so Dame was more than inclined to join.
After the contraction was successful and showing Dame everything that had to do with the system, Jake walked out of the shop so he could get a headstart to the hand to hand combat club building for his Guild's first ever meeting.
But as he exited the shop, he got a message on his watch.
"Will Jake Lucas please make his way to the hand to hand combat club's building ASAP." The voice said.
"What the heck! What the hell is going on?" Jake asked as he stared blankly at the watch.
"Why would I get a message on my watch telling me to head off to the hand to hand combat club? Who even sent me this message?"
"Could it be one of the authorities? Have they found out about my intentions? But how?" Jake asked already worried.
"Calm down Jake." Zee said. "Just breathe and head there. After all, that was where you were heading to. Just go but also expect the worst."
"You are right." Jake said as he breathed in and out then he used Inventory on his new piece of armour as he slowly made his way to the building.
After a few minutes of slowly walking, Jake finally stood in front of the small gate. Then he slowly pushed it open and walked in.
Jake could now see Sunny standing in front of him with a serious look on his face.
"Sergeant Sunny? What's wrong? Were you the one who sent me that message?" Jake asked.
"Ease up with the questions will you? Now follow me." Sunny said as he made his way to the building while Jake followed suit.
Jake could feel his heart thumping louder and louder as he got close to the inside of the building.
"What's going on? Why is Sunny's face so serious? What's going on for heavens sake?" Jake mumbled as he finally walked into the building and then Sunny shut the door while placing something on it.
Looking behind at the door, Jake could see that it was a type of transparent shield.

'This equipment? That means whatever he wants to say is secret and shouldn't get out.' Jake thought as he raised an eyebrow.
They walked in and finally made their way into where Sunny usually held classes for Jake. Entering in, Jake was shocked to see other people inside and he definitely recognized all of them.
Jake could see General Paul, General Wilfred, Alex, Kate, Peter, Emily, Geo and Simyon in the building.
Jake was now worried about what was going on. So he quickly turned to his system to find out what was going on.
Jake quickly navigated to the guild's tab and sent a message to all the members standing in front of him asking an explanation of what was going on.
They all didn't need their hands to type a message because they could use their minds to operate the system. The first person to reply Jake was Alex.
"We don't know what happened, we came here for the meeting as you requested, and then as we arrived, we received a message asking us to be here and the Generals here standing in front of us. So we are pretty clueless." Alex replied.
'Okay, that doesn't help me ease my worries at all.' Jake thought as he looked at the Generals waiting for them to start speaking.
"Relax you all." Paul began speaking and then he gestured for them to sit down.
"You are not in trouble whatsoever. We just wanted to speak with some of you like Jake, Alex, Peter and Emily. But since you all are here which begs the question why you are here." Paul said as he looked at the rest of them.
"Just get on with what you want to say." Jake said sharply.
Paul just sighed. "Let me cut straight to the chase, we need your help."
'What is it with people coming to me and asking for help?' Jake thought.
"Help? What help?" Alex asked as he wasn't afraid to speak up in front of the Generals.
"We think there's someone in the academy working with the werewolves hence why we called this secret meeting among us here because you are the ones we can trust with this." Wilfred said.
"What makes you think there's someone working for those filthy beasts in the academy and why do you think we can help you? After all, we are just ordinary students." Jake said as he raised an eyebrow.
"Ordinary students?" Paul laughed out loud. "You guys are no ordinary student, especially with what you did to that werewolf that day. Especially you Jake. Or should I say The Werewolf Slayer."
Jake didn't look to surprised as he maintained his compusure. "So what do you want from us?"
"Like we said, we need your help." Sunny said. "Initially we wanted Jake, Emily, Alex and Peter in this meeting with us. I don't know what the rest of you are doing here so I will just continue nevertheless."
"We want to recruit you all in a special group to combat those betrayals and the werewolves also."
"A group?" Alex asked.
"Yes. A group that will comprise of strong fighters that would help in our battle." Wilfred said.
For some reason, the others hearing this were disheartened as they weren't even considered strong enough.
"Why call just this amount of us? As far as I remember, Harry is also strong, Sophia is also strong. Heck even Jack is strong. Why didn't you invite them?" Jake asked.
"That's because we are trying to make this group as small as possible so as to avoid the betrayals getting a whiff of this." Sunny said.
"Well, tough luck because I'm already in a group and I won't be leaving it anytime soon." Peter said.
"Huh? What group?" Paul asked. "As far as I remember, you are an orphan who left the orphanage to enrol here in this academy so I doubt you are in a guild."
"Well I am. I'm in Jake's Guild, in fact all of us are." Peter said as he pulled down his sleeves and the others followed suit showing the Fang hunter's symbol.
"What the heck is going on?" Paul asked with his eyes widened as he could see the symbol on every one's arms.
