novelThat Couldn't Be Condoned

This was the first time that the warriors of Eternal Kingdom were looking for Patrick Star. He was puzzled about why they were looking for him.
He left together with the warrior, and they proceeded to a building in Eternal Kingdom. Outside of the building was a huge sign with strange drawings and the words "Changan City" on it.
It was the territory of the Guild called Changan City. Patrick Star didn't know that Guilds existed in Eternal Kingdom. He thought Changan City was just a name for the building. He was curious why the name sounded so strange.
Patrick Star walked into the territory of Changan City. The other gamers were prohibited from entering private property, but it didn't apply to Patrick Star.
As long as he had the permission of the owner, Patrick Star could enter the territory of the Guild whenever.
Patrick Star had just interviewed a gamer and wouldn't miss the chance for a second interview. The building looked very grand, and there were many members inside. Patrick Star thought it looked like a huge office and an important organization in Eternal Kingdom.
He could see the furniture that was placed all over the place and a beehive-like room. He didn't expect such a grand building to have such a chaotic interior that looked nasty. There was a foul stench, and the water in the jar that was placed at the entrance was black. There were members who woke up and washed their faces at the jar. Patrick Star felt disgusted.
This was a place for real heroes. Eternal Kingdom had a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The living conditions weren't fit for common creatures, and only brave warriors could endure it.
Patrick Star was in awe of the warriors in Changan City. He couldn't use words to describe his admiration.
He took out his Mana Recording Device and started taking shots. After some time, he recalled that he hadn't obtained approval from the owner. He looked worriedly at the Orc beside him and asked, "Can I take a few pictures?"
The Orc didn't expect Patrick Star to ask such a question. The Orc replied happily, "Of course. You can take as many as you wish, we won't stop you."
After obtaining approval, Patrick Star started shooting with his Mana Recording Device. Before long, the boss of Changan City walked out.
It was an extremely ugly Orc. Even the experienced Patrick Star felt that the Orc was ugly. The Orcs at the side said in astonishment, "Oh my god, the face has quite a bit of personality."
"Big Boss is handsome."
"Do you have the template for the model? I want to have a similar face."
Patrick Star didn't understand what they were saying, but he could figure out that the gamers were complimenting their boss.
Why was the aesthetic value of the residents so different from the Underworld?
Patrick Star couldn't help thinking about this question. The ugly Orc extended his hand to him and said, "Welcome to the Stronghold of Changan City. I'm the Chairman, MysteryMan."
"Can you tell me your name? I heard that you wanted me to write a report. I understand that a report can be written anonymously, but I wish to know your name during the interview, " Patrick Star said subtly.
"I told you, my name is MysteryMan." The Orc smiled and repeated his name.
Patrick Star was enlightened. MysteryMan wasn't an alias to hide his identity. The Orc was called MysteryMan. Patrick Star felt that it was weird, but it wouldn't hinder his interview.
MysteryMan didn't expect the NPC to have such a strong personality and was taken by surprise.
"Reporter Patrick Star, please follow me inside. We want to recruit many members, so we need your help to publicize it, " MysteryMan said as he led Patrick Star into the house.
Patrick Star arrived at a table and took his seat. He frowned and said, "Is Eternal Kingdom recruiting employees? There's no problem. What does Lord Sherlock require? We'll provide the best spot for Lord Sherlock."
"Lord Sherlock isn't recruiting. It's our Guild, Changan City, that's recruiting members, " MysteryMan said to Patrick Star.
"Wait, did you say the Changan City Guild?"
Patrick Star was wary. They were members of Eternal Kingdom. Without Lord Sherlock's order, how could they recruit other members? The only explanation was that they were leaving Eternal Kingdom.
Were they going to rebel and flee? Were they going to resign and go outside? Patrick Star wasn't sure, but he knew that no Dungeon Lords would want their employees to resign or rebel.
Patrick Star wanted to object, but when he looked at the fierce and ugly Orcs around him...
Patrick Star decided to accede to their requests. When he had left the place safely, he would inform Lord Sherlock about their rebellion.
"That's correct. We want to recruit professional warriors and construction workers who can build city walls and fortifications. We also need a capable Blacksmith with good technical skills. He must be able to forge Legendary Orange equipment."
Patrick Star's heart sank.
They required warriors, fortifications, and equipment. It must be a rebellion!
Previously, Patrick Star was only having doubts. Now, he was very sure these creatures were rebelling!
Patrick Star wanted to get out safely so that he could inform Lord Sherlock!
...
"It's like this, Lord Sherlock. Your resident MysteryMan and his members are rebelling."
After acceding to the requests of MysteryMan and promising to publish his recruitment advertisements, Patrick Star left the Stronghold of Changan City. He immediately hurried to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and informed Sherlock about the rebellion.
"MysteryMan?" Sherlock asked after Patrick Star told him everything. He wasn't sure he had a gamer called "MysteryMan". There were too many gamers for him to remember their names.
"He's the Chairman of the Changan City Guild. That's what he said. He looks like this."
Patrick Star took out a round Adamantine rock and infused Mana into it. An image appeared from the rock, and it showed a group of Orcs and a short Gnome Patrick Star.
Patrick Star was sitting on a sofa while the Orcs stood behind him. Patrick Star's skin looked fairer in comparison.
"That is MysteryMan."
Patrick Star was worried that Lord Sherlock wouldn't recognize MysteryMan, so he pointed out an Orc to Sherlock. Then Patrick Star said, "The ugliest Orc is MysteryMan."
"Why is this image so strange?" Bru was puzzled and said to Sherlock.
"What's wrong?" Sherlock asked.
"The image isn't a problem, but... it's very strange. I can't say it."
Bru hesitated, and Sherlock didn't want to probe further.
It was a big problem. The gamers were going to bypass Lord Sherlock to recruit employees.
That couldn't be condoned!
