Chapter 46: The Unexpected Unified Opinion
Li Huailin thought that his running speed was higher than most human beings, which was why he didn’t expect that the several guys who he was quite familiar with were already waiting for him when he reached the entrance of Lava Crack.
“Huailin,” Spiritual World Night Flyer waved his hand and called him. Beside him was his team, in addition with Spiritual World Fire Head and Spiritual World Dust Machine.
Li Huailin was slightly surprised. “What a coincidence!”
“This isn’t a coincidence! I came here to see you,” Night Flyer said with a smile.
“What? Did some damn son of a b*tch post something on the forums again?” Li Huailin said fiercely.
“Oh, that’s not true. Didn’t you say there was a fight just now? I was afraid you were in trouble. I asked around and heard that you were fighting against those from the World Destruction guild. Since I happened to be around, I decided to come and see if you’re alright,” Night Flyer replied.
“Oh, I see. Then why don’t we…”
At this time, a voice suddenly interrupted Li Huailin’s words.
“So… Spiritual World is going to help Kickass Brother out?”
Night Flyer and Li Huailin looked up at the same time and saw Ask Sky and over 50 people walk towards them. Within a few seconds, Li Huailin and the members of Spiritual World had been surrounded.
Night Flyer seemed to be quite relaxed. He smiled and opened his mouth, “How are you, Leader Ask Sky? Long time no see. Greetings from our guild leader, the King of Spiritual World.”
“Night Flyer, I’m asking you if your guild is here to help him.” Since Ask Sky was in an extremely bad mood, his tone wasn’t polite at all.
“Oh? To the Spiritual World guild, there are only right things but no right people. We only do things that we believe are right. We’re just here to help my friend out. What can you do?” Night Flyer spoke in the same aggressive tone.
“Oh right, things, not people? The Spiritual World guild has a really smart tongue.” Ask Sky sneered and continued, “You tell me who’s wrong — he came to our location in the early morning to seek trouble, killed over forty members of our guild, and took away a pile of equipment. You’re saying we’re wrong?”
“What?” Night Flyer hurriedly turned to Li Huailin and asked him, “Huailin, what’s going on?”
Night Flyer took the reason of the conflict for granted. He simply thought that the World Destruction guild was forcing Li Huailin to give them the information about the Abyss Mode dungeon, however, Li Huailin refused to. But what Ask Sky just said was totally out of Night Flyer’s expectation.
Li Huailin paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement, this further shocked Night Flyer.
“Yes, Night Flyer. I agree that I’m the one who did things wrong. Although they do look quite fierce and aggressive, they are actually good people.”
“Huh?” Night Flyer’s mind went blank for a second, “This… What’s going on…”
“Are you speechless now?” Ask Sky didn’t know why Li Huailin agreed with him. Even though he was very angry, since he knew that the Spiritual World guild was currently stronger than his guild, Ask Sky didn’t want to piss off the Spiritual World guild.
“Night Flyer, you’d better think about it carefully whether you should interfere in this matter or not. Don’t ruin the reputation of your guild.”
“That’s correct. He’s right.” Li Huailin agreed with this statement, “You should think carefully about it, Night Flyer. The reputation of the Spiritual World guild is very valuable.”
“Come on! Which side are you on?” Night Flyer didn’t know what else to say.
“I only care about the right things to do,” Li Huailin said righteously. “As you can see, what I have done is a terrible crime. They should slay me a hundred times to take their revenge. How can the Spiritual World guild be involved in this?”
“He’s right. We’re going to kill him a hundred times until he’s sent back to the newbie village,” Ask Sky said while gritting his teeth.
“Sh*t…” Night Flyer was so confused by the situation. He had no idea whether they were friends or enemies.
“What do we do, leader?” Spiritual World Fire head whispered to him.
Night Flyer thought for a while and said, “I’m afraid there is some sort of misunderstanding between you two. The Spiritual World guild can be the mediator.”
“There is no misunderstanding. This guy suddenly came to our turf, killed our people, and robbed us. Mediate? There’s nothing to be mediated. It wouldn’t be possible even if the King of Spiritual World was here!”
While gnashing his teeth, Ask Sky couldn’t hate Li Huailin more.
“That’s right. No mediation is needed. I’m here to rob him and kill his men. There’s no misunderstanding,” Li Huailin confirmed what Ask Sky said.
“I…” Night Flyer almost coughed out blood. “I mean — Please calm down! The both of you are quite well-known and should value your reputations. If other people know that Kickass Brother is a robber, or that they learn the World Destruction guild plans to siege a single player, how would they think of you two?”
“Well…” This reminded Ask Sky of a few matters. Indeed… it wasn’t good if this were to be spread out. The fact that half of his team were killed by a single player was shameful.
Sh*t! This guy was hesitating!
Li Huailin immediately noticed the look on Ask Sky’s face. Night Flyer was preventing his plan from working out. If Ask Sky really gave up on his revenge, Li Huailin would no longer earn any equipment, money, or experience. After thinking about it, Li Huailin decided to put an end to any possible mediation using the simplest way.
“Idiot, here comes my sword!”
Li Huailin wielded his sword and jumped towards Ask Sky.
– 591
Although it wasn’t a critical hit, the attack still shaved off nearly half of Ask Sky’s health points.
“You fu*king…” Ask Sky didn’t expect this at all. Li Huailin stabbed him right in front of everyone’s eyes. Ask Sky became increasingly furious and he was ready to fight.
However, before he could do anything, Li Huailin had launched his second round of attack. And unfortunately, this time, it was a critical hit. Ask Sky was killed by Li Huailin again.
Ask Sky had also dropped a helmet that gave off a blue light. Li Huailin was very surprised. He hurriedly grabbed the helmet and placed it into inventory.
“Hey… Huailin?” Night Flyer almost dropped his jaw. What was going on here?
“Night Flyer, I need to fight now. You can leave if there’s nothing else you want to do. I’ll get those health potions later as I’m kinda busy right now.” After saying this, Li Huailin rushed over to the nearest Mage player from the World Destruction guild.
“Damn it! This bastard killed the leader again. Bros, tear him into pieces!” Nine Song just realized what happened and roared to the rest of the guild members.
“I’m here! Bring it on!” Li Huailin wanted the hatred to be even more fierce.
The place suddenly became chaotic as fireballs, ice blasts, and arrows were flying everywhere. Night Flyer and his men all stood still at a loss.
“What shall we do now, leader?” Fire Head asked him in a low voice.
“How am I supposed to know? It’s too dangerous to be on that guy’s side…” Night Flyer held his forehead with his hand and continued, “Yeah, let’s step back. We shouldn’t involve ourselves in this.”
