Chapter 661 Kidnapped?
After dropping Liam to the ground, the old elf switched gears and went back to playing around with the little fox as if nothing happened.
At first, Luna was reluctant, still sticking close to her master, but seeing some tasty things in the other party’s hand, the traitor quickly rushed over and started munching away.
Liam gaped at this scene. This old guy definitely had a few screws loose, but… he couldn’t deny that he was the most powerful person he had come across in the game so far.
Even standing in front of the King back in the nether realm did not give him this sort of feeling. There was something about this old man.
Wait a second. Liam’s breathing quickened. He had come across someone like this once before, the naga who had taught him the illusion technique. It was only for a brief second, so he could be mistaken.
Regardless, none of that was relevant. Liam shook his head. The goal in front of him was clear. Grandmaster Acalan had said it, and now this elf had also said the same thing.
Clearly, there was some issue with using mana and nether at the same time. He had never heard of anything like this before, but then again, his knowledge from his past life was very limited.
Also, he was a special case in that he had an SSS-grade nether affinity. He needed to figure out what exactly this was and how it was going to affect him.
Liam took up the offer the old elf gave him and decided to log out for a bit.
Ever since he came to the elven lands, he had not been able to communicate with the rest of the guild, so he decided to check how things were progressing on the other side.
He logged out of the game and stepped out of the capsule. He looked around to see that the house was pretty much empty.
“Everyone is busy playing? Heh. Good.” He closed his room door when he saw a note stuck on the door. It was a scribbled, handwritten note from Alex.
“Hmmm? We have stalkers?”
Something like this could become dangerous if it was not nipped in the bud, and it had been a while since he had taken a stroll outside.
Liam changed his clothes and stepped outside to investigate. He got down the stairs and exited the apartment complex, walking out to the main road.
He silently walked along the pavement, engrossed in his own thoughts. The weather wasn’t too bad, and it was a pleasant evening. A few others were strolling around, enjoying the fresh air.
However, Liam only had a frown on his face.
Everything in the elven lands had ultimately gone well, but there was a rather distinct, bitter, lingering aftertaste of failure as he had tasted the same feeling of being helpless all over again.
He continued to walk along the streets in the silent darkness when suddenly an SUV pulled up next to him without any warning.
Hmmm? Before he could do anything, he found himself being pushed into the SUV. He was actually being kidnapped.
“What do you want?” Liam calmly asked.
There were six bulky men in the vehicle, one of them driving, and no one had any firearms out, probably because they did not find someone like him threatening.
The men did not answer him, and only blankly looked at him.
Liam debated for a second and then decided to take the easy, sure-shot route instead of the long, uncertain route. “You guys picked the wrong day to mess with me.”
The men laughed amongst themselves, looking down at the scrawny kid, wondering what he could do to six grown men, and the next instant…
“Come out.”
Something exploded in the SUV, and the six men immediately became stiff. All around them were creatures they couldn’t fathom. What the hell was happening?
However, they did not have any time to process anything as they were all killed instantly.
“Good job, Crawford.”
“Gorak, park the SUV somewhere nearby. Let’s find out just who these guys are.”
Sitting inside the vehicle, Liam calmly examined the six corpses one after the other. It looked like they really did not think much of him, as they had not taken any efforts to hide their identities.
The six guys were from the Gu family.
“So Alex was correct. Someone is indeed watching us, but it is not the uncle. It is my past coming back to haunt me.”
With a chuckle, Liam summoned Gu Donghai out, and apparently what he found out was true as the undead young master immediately shuddered at the sight of the dead corpses.
“So you recognize them?”
Gu Donghai obediently nodded.
“Hmm… What is it with your family?” Liam sat back, leaning on the leather seats of the SUV.
“Do you know… I almost forgot about them. I did not want to be tied down with anger and hatred from a different lifetime, so I almost let them live.”
“Well, I am not really that forgiving, but I was busy. Your family could have really used this chance to live a little, but it seems like they are asking for it.”
“They are literally forcing my hand. What is the point of me being reborn if I can’t even take care of a little thing like this?”
Gu Donghai silently shivered. What the hell was this lunatic blabbering about?
However, internally, he was happy. His family had finally come to his rescue! And this guy was finally going to get what was coming to him!
He dared to kill him and torture him like this even after death? You will not die a good death, you bastard! I curse you! Die bitch!
Liam could hear everything he was thinking. However, he only smiled. Perhaps it was really time to take care of the Gu family once and for all.
An opportunity had come knocking right on his doorstep. It would be foolish to let this go and allow things to escalate even more.
“Drive the vehicle to the Gu family estate.”
