In the online game circle, big guilds like Divine Martial Guild had their own extensive contacts with other guilds. It was even more so for two guilds that are situated across each other. The guild masters would have some ways to contact each other.
This was similar to the NBA. James probably has Duncan’s cell phone number…
It was even easier to maintain contact online since everyone was assigned a unique ID. Since guild masters were individuals wielding high authority, they would often socialise and add each other as friends. In Martial Yin Yang’s buddy list, there were some guild masters belonging to the high echelons of Twilight City.
Individuals like Sanguine Warflag and Captain Don’t Open Fire were some of the people added to the temporary chat group. Even a small fry like 2012 was invited.
“Who is this, what are you doing bothering me? I am busy!” This bunch of high-flyers were friends in-game but were not actually acquainted with each other… They displayed their tempers at being inexplicably pulled in a chat room. Captain Don’t Open Fire had a short fuse. He did not even bother to see who had invited him yet was already fully exhibited his annoyance.
“… What do you want to say?” Captain Don’t Open Fire did not mince his words and growled.
Seeing that everyone was so short-tempered, Martial Yin Yang quickly interjected, “It is me, Martial Yin Yang.”
“Oh, it is the guild leader of Divine Martial Guild. What’s up?” Captain Don’t Open Fire hid his initial impatient tone asked.
As Divine Martial Guild was the leading power in the capital city, the guilds in Twilight city could definitely not match their might. Even Sanguine Alliance had to tip-toe around them to be careful not to provoke anyone.
Martial Yin Yang cleared his throat and asked. “I have some matters that I need to clarify with everyone.”
“What matter is so important that you had to personally convey it?” Captain Don’t Open Fire was filled with curiosity.
“That…”
Martial Yin Yang felt that it was not easy to approach the topic of the Championships with the people before him. After all, it would seem like he was here to rub his victory over them.
Martial Yin Yang rearranged his thoughts, “Our Divine Martial Guild has a conflict with one of the guilds from Twilight City…”
“Oh? That cannot be the case, isn’t it? The distance between the two cities is so large. How could any guild in Twilight City possibly have provoked you?” Sanguine Alliance was first to respond to Martial Yin Yang’s claim.
Divine Martial Guild was a large established guild so a guild that could possibly incur their wrath was likely to be a big guild. There was the chance that the guild of someone in the chatroom was the party Martial Yin Yang was finding. Being the largest guild in Twilight City, Sanguine Alliance was under the spotlight… Therefore, they had quickly denied such an event occurring.
“Wasn’t there a competitive championship recently…” Martial Yin Yang explained.
“Oh, so it is like this… We did not pay much attention to the championships.” Sanguine Warflag heaved a sigh of relief the moment he heard that as it absolved his side of any responsibility.
“We were also busy accumulating points…” Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly followed up.
2012 was a little embarrassed and said, “On my side, we didn’t even last the first round in the championships.”
Although it was a shameful result to declare, 2012 had to speak truthfully as the pool of potential perpetrators grew smaller.
Seeing that everyone had denied their involvement, Martial Yin Yang knew the meaning of their words. He smiled gently and said, “I did not suspect anyone of you to be involved in the conflict. In actual fact, the one that was involved was a small sect. We have already probed them very thoroughly. The reason I gathered everyone here today was to ask for a favour.”
“Oh? What can we do for you?” Sanguine Warflag inquired.
“Haha…” Martial Yin Yang laughed helplessly, “You people are after all citizens of Twilight City. As an outsider, it would be difficult for me to do anything to them… Are you guys interested in helping me complete this favour? Don’t worry I will compensate you well for your efforts.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is… I guess you can ask other people instead…”
Upon hearing Martial Yin Yang’s offer, both Sanguine Warflag and Captain Don’t Open Fire were not too keen on accepting such small benefits to help outsiders. This was something that was going to be frowned upon and it would not bode well for their reputations.
On the contrary, 2012 and a few guild masters of smaller guilds were quite intrigued by the offer.
“Martial Yin Yang Boss, which is the guild that you have grievances with…” 2012 pried in the matter.
Even Sanguine Alliance would not dare provoke such a behemoth like Divine Martial Guild. For a guild that could only rely on the championships to gain some exposure was truly seeking death by enraging the Divine Martial Guild.
Martial Yin Yang continued, “They stole the equipment of our players.”
“F*ck! This is a confusing situation. This guild even dared to steal Divine Martial Guild’s equipment. Who was so bold to do such a thing? Why didn’t you guys stop them at War God City?” one of the guild masters called out in shock.
This guild master words were quite straightforward and did not consider the reputation of Martial Yin Yang.
Martial Yin Yang did not show any hint of anger and said regretfully, “They stole our equipment and ran away immediately. They even managed to lure over a group of system guards. Eventually, our players were decimated by them… One wrong move and we accidentally let them go.”
“Ohh.”
Hearing the incredulous state of events from Martial Yin Yang, all who heard it gradually displayed frowns on their faces.
Stealing something and luring system guards, why did this series of actions sound so familiar? Where have they heard about this before?
Could it be…
The members of Twilight City all had cold sweat down their backs. 2012 broke the awkward silence and asked, “I don’t know what kind of guild is this. To think they are so shameless.”
“This guild has roughly 20 people. I think they called themselves Quan Zhen Sect…” Martial Yin Yang replied flatly.
“F*ck!”
Everyone collectively sighed. It was indeed that bunch from Quan Zhen Sect. To think they even dared to rob Divine Martial Guild. In the entire gaming scene, there was no guild that was as brazen as them…
At the same time, everyone was secretly relieved that they had not taken up Martial Yin Yang’s offer. To think that Martial Yin Yang’s offer was so devious.
