“Boss, Quan Zhen Sect is involved now. What do we do?”
At the same time, Big Bear Deng Deng An received the news as he reported it to Captain Don’t Open Fire at once.
“What else can we do?” Captain Don’t Open Fire replied irritably, “We’ll proceed!”
“Proceed?” Big Bear Deng Deng An responded in shock, “Boss, are you alright? Did you think this through? Are we really doing it?”
“Of course!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire was so enraged that he wasn’t thinking straight. He hollered in a hostile manner, “Those cursed Quan Zhen Sect dogs, they’re pushing it too far. Do they really think they’re big shots? They dare to do this even after taking my money. F*ck them! I don’t believe that the 100,000 people we have on our side will be suppressed by a dozen of b*stards.”
It was true that in terms of absolute power, a person’s ability meant nothing even if they were at the top.
No matter how strong Wang Yu was, could he fend off 100,000 people at once? Even if the players didn’t agree to it, the system would be the first to deal with him. It would be an obvious hacking technique.
The 100,000 players under Captain Don’t Open Fire were confident in going against Quan Zhen Sect too.
“But, boss…”
Big Bear Deng Deng An stuttered, “I don’t have any objections against your orders. However, I don’t know if the other players feel the same way…”
They were all veteran players. Big Bear Deng Deng An understood how the other players would react.
Wang Yu was well-known in Twilight City for a long time. His reputation reached far and wide in Twilight City. The players from Twilight City turned pale once they heard the name ‘Quan Zhen Sect’.
They were only here because they wanted to reap some benefits. Nobody dared to bet their lives against a person like Wang Yu
If Captain Don’t Open Fire decided to go against Quan Zhen Sect openly, no one within his group, including the other sects, would be able to survive the backlash.
“I know what I’m doing!” Captain Don’t Open Fire continued, “Tell everyone that for each person they kill from Quan Zhen Sect, they’ll be awarded 100,000 dollars. If they kill Iron Bull once, I’ll give them 1,000,000 in cash. The rewards will be handed immediately in person!”
Anyone could tell that Captain Don’t Open Fire had lost his wits. The fact that he put down such a high reward in cash said it all.
1,000,000 dollars wasn’t a small amount at all. A regular person would never be able to earn this amount within a few years. Even 100,000 dollars would be equivalent to a year’s worth of income. Furthermore, all they had to do was kill a player.
Man was a creature that could throw their lives aside in the name of money.
No matter how much experience and equipment one tossed away on a regular day, in the face of such a reward, there was no way a person wouldn’t be shaken.
Even if they died a hundred times in-game, they would only lose their in-game items. However, this reward was the real deal.
Within the game, there was no such thing as an undefeated legend. Especially in an imaginary world, one would be forgotten if they disappeared for an entire month.
No matter how strong Wang Yu was, that was an old matter. As for the other players from other capitals, they merely had heard of Wang Yu’s power.
No one would believe that completely. On a regular day, a player would follow the crowd and believe that he was strong just because someone else said so. However, in front of a reward like that, Wang Yu and the others were no longer the terrifying Quan Zhen Sect. Instead, they represented a thick stash of cash to be reaped.
Of course, compared to amateur players, the various guild’s bosses were much calmer. After all, 1,000,000 dollars weren’t too enticing to them. Pitting themselves against Quan Zhen Sect over such an amount wasn’t worth their efforts.
After the various guilds’ bosses thought carefully about the matter, they were about to take their disciples and withdraw from this mission when Captain Don’t Open Fire suddenly pulled them into a group chat.
Soon after, Captain Don’t Open Fire began, “Fellow leaders, the time has come for us to unite as one…”
“Captain, that’s not what you should do!” Before Captain Don’t Open Fire could finish his words, 2012 exploded, “We helped you out of goodwill yet you’re sending us to our deaths now?”
Wasn’t that the case? 2012 was one of the first groups of people to observe Wang Yu’s abilities. At first, Wang Yu chased Sanguine Warflag’s biological younger brother down two streets, forcing Sanguine Warflag to pay up and repent. He single-handedly dominated tens of thousands of people like that. This was a matter 2012 remembered like it was yesterday.
One could say that other than Sanguine Warflag, there wasn’t a single person from Twilight City who understood Wang Yu’s might better than 2012.
However, Captain Don’t Open Fire was telling everyone to confront Quan Zhen Sect directly. What was he planning?
In the face of 2012’s questioning, Captain Don’t Open Fire continued matter-of-factly, “I’m not telling you to die. I’m giving you a chance to survive.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” the leaders asked.
“Hmph!” Captain Don’t Open Fire grunted coldly, “We’re all in the same boat now. All of you attacked Sanguine Alliance too.”
“So what?” 2012 retorted.
Captain Don’t Open Fire continued, “Quan Zhen Sect intends to help Sanguine Alliance. Their motive is to retrieve our guild’s new district. If it weren’t for you, Sanguine Alliance would have taken over the western district. You say that it’s none of your business? If Void Blade is eliminated, how would you live?”
“This…”
2012 and the others were stunned speechless.
That was right. Aside from Quan Zhen Sect, there were only three main guilds in Twilight City.
Sanguine Alliance and Void Blade formed one guild each. Even though the other guilds had some minor conflicts between one another, it was for the sake of survival. In times of need, they gathered to protect one another.
These three guilds established a truce, maintaining balance.
However, if matters were like what Captain Don’t Open Fire described, Sanguine Alliance would no longer have a reason to hold back after exterminating Void Blade. Their next targets would be to absorb the other guilds.
Even if they didn’t participate in the mission this time, Sanguine Alliance would find other reasons. For instance, they had no reason to launch an attack on Void Blade either.
Seeing that nobody said a word, Captain Don’t Open Fire knew that his words had taken effect. He continued, “I know that all of you are afraid of Quan Zhen Sect. But think about it carefully. That person isn’t the guild leader of thousands of players. If a true assault takes place, there’s no reason for us to be afraid of a few dozen people. On top of that, we have more than 100,000 players on our side. Do you not have the courage to fight against a handful of people? Are you really willing to let them dominate us forever?”
“Captain’s right. In reality, Quan Zhen Sect isn’t all that. If 100,000 of us are afraid of a dozen people, I’d die from the shame.” With Captain Don’t Open Fire’s explanation, their fear toward Quan Zhen Sect dissipated gradually.
However, it wasn’t so easy to appease 2012. He asked stubbornly, “If we really overthrow Quan Zhen Sect, what do we get out of it?”
