Chapter 38 - Legends of All Time

"Aren't you Luis Armstrong?" my many.

"You still remember my name?"

"of course. How could I forget the person who gave us free money" I said.

The man named Luis just smiled at what I just said.

"He who? You guys know?" whispered Hansel to Drian.

"He used to give us expensive missions. Though the mission is very easy," whispered Drian.

"During the day we didn't see you, Mr. Luis. If you may know, why did you come all the way here?" welcome Mr. Warto.

"For a long time no see, Mr. Warto. Shelly too, Viona too," replied Om Luis, while Mpa Shelly and Viona responded by nodding their heads with a smile.

The Om Luis then added, "Actually, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, with pleasure. Come, let's talk in the hotel lobby" replied Mr. Warto kindly while directing Om Luis and his entourage to the hotel lobby.

I who walked behind Pak Warto and Om Luis with others also asked, "Pak Warto was very polite. Who the hell is Luis?"

"Don't know, Vin?" ask Bang Sulaiman.

I responded by shrugging both of my shoulders, a sign of not knowing.

"Lu's seen Le Beers writing in front of the Borneo branch of the Fairy Guild building right?" ask Bang Sulaiman.

"Early then. Writing that big time does not see," I reply.

"Well, that's the name of the company, Mr. Luis," said Bang Sulaiman.

Shelly explained, "Mister Luis is a businessman of precious stones, such as gold, silver, to diamonds. He is the richest man in Borneo City, as well as the main sponsor of the Borneo branch of the Fairy Guild. Hence, Pak Warto was already quite familiar with him."

"Oh .. new cave knows," I muttered while looking at Om Luis who seemed to be chatting casually with Pak Warto as they walked in front of us.

...

Arriving at the hotel lobby, we all sat together to discuss what Om Luis wanted to say.

"Sorry, my time is limited. So, I'll get straight to the point. I mean, I came here because I wanted to apply to be your guild's main sponsor."

Hearing that, we were all instantly shocked.

"Become our main sponsor ...? But why?" ask Mr. Warto.

Since Mr. Warto already had a good relationship with Om Luis, we left the discussion to Mr. Warto. After all, Mr. Warto is also the current head manager of our guild.

"I've heard it from the Mayor of Lisbon. He said he doesn't have any sponsors yet. So, I came straight here for that, "reply to Luis.

"No, I mean ... Why do you want to be our main sponsor?" ask Mr. Warto.

"Because I think you have potential. I didn't see your match in person, nor did I know how good you were, but from what I heard, you won your first match without any difficulty at all," answer to Luis.

Om Luis then added, "Pak Warto, you know for yourself right ...? As a sponsor, I had to gamble in choosing a seeded candidate who could carry my company name as high as possible, certainly at a minimal cost. I cannot deny, being the main sponsor for a large guild is too much of a drain on money. Moreover, my business condition is also declining. And so, I tried to find another alternative. That's where I found you. Anyway, I know you guys too. So, I thought it would be quite a profitable gamble if I put all my money on you guys."

"What's that?" reply About Luis.

"On the former mission. Why did you give us such a costly mission? The mission was easy" I asked.

"Ah, about that .. actually, I just want to test you guys," replied Om Luis.

"Testing us ...?" Me, Drian, and Angel don't understand what that means.

Luis then began to explain, "So, at that time, because I was in a business war, I really needed an additional personal bodyguard. At that time, I happened to hear your name and track record"

"Before making you a personal bodyguard, I intend to test you first, by giving you an expensive mission, even though the mission is very easy. I did it to test whether you can trust me or not, and as a result you did a good job of the mission."

"Then why didn't you recruit us?" my many.

"I originally wanted to recruit you guys straight away, but after I thought carefully, I started doubting you guys. I was afraid that you were the ones who were deliberately paid to approach me, considering that you showed up right at the time of need, but I seemed to be too careful to the point of not feeling it, now you have your own guild" explained Om Luis.

"Oh, so so. I thought you just wanted to help us" I muttered.

"Haha! Donate to you ...?" Luis laughed at my prayers.

"Then, let's get back to the main topic" Om Luis said, adding, "I want to be your main sponsor at this year's tournament by applying for a contract worth ten million gale. That doesn't include the bonuses I'll give you in every win you get-"

"For every victory you achieve in the group stage, both the first stage and the second stage, I will give you a bonus of one hundred thousand gale. I will increase the bonus tenfold, to one million gale, for every victory you win in the knockout round. If you manage to become champions, I will also give you an additional bonus of fifty million gale."

Hearing the value of the contract offered by Om Luis, it makes me, Drian, Angel, and all the other members immediately silent.

For the giant guilds, it was probably a pretty small contract value, considering they could scoop up hundreds of millions from parties that wanted to become their main sponsors. However, for guilds like us, guilds that didn't even have any reputation at all, it was a fantastic contract value.

"Mr Luis .. Are you sure of the offer you just made?" ask Mr. Warto.

"Is that too little?" sahut Om Luis's.

"No, quite the opposite. Isn't that too big for a guild without a reputation like ours?" ask Mr. Warto.

"If you can get all the bonuses I promised, it's a very large amount, but if not, isn't that a slightly above-standard amount?" reply About Luis.

Hearing that, my smile instantly broke.

"Ah, so ... This contract was deliberately intended to challenge us?" my many.

"It's not challenging, it's motivational" replied Om Luis with a smile.

Feeling that it was a very promising contract, plus we were also in need of sponsorship support, without thinking about it, we immediately accepted the contract offer.

"Alright, then, I say goodbye first" said Om Luis. He was with his five personal guards and started to leave us who were still gathered in the hotel lobby.

Staring at the back of the man who is now the main sponsor of our guild, I muttered, "I still don't understand. Why would a company dare to pay such a high price just to become a guild sponsor?"

"That's for exposure. The higher the exposure a company gets, the higher the value of the company. For this reason, they are willing to pay dearly," replied Sister Shelly.

That way, the problem of the absence of sponsors has been slightly resolved.
