Chapter 1059: The Gentleman Does Not Fight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were countless others clamouring for the opportunity to be a City Lord but Feng Yun Realm did not look happy at all after he achieved that. Could he be that he had lost his mind in that moment of happiness?
“F*ck!!!”
Feng Yun Realm clenched his fists tightly and spat out with a fitful of anger, “I have been plotted against!”
“Plotted against?” Everyone was taken aback at his revelation and they replied, “Are you sure you have got it right? Didn’t you get the City Lord position?”
“Hm!” Feng Yun Realm nodded in indignation as he said regretfully, “This City Lord position is a sham!”
Feng Yun Realm immediately showed the mission that he was a.s.signed to the others.
Quest: Rebuilding Homes
Quest Grade: S
Quest Introduction: After being appointed to the Sky Dragon City’s City Lord, you have a responsibility to lead the city out of the ashes and rebuild homes.
Quest Details: Your main city is heavily damaged and requires immediate repair. The repair cost is 1,000,000 gold coins and there is only one day left.
Note: This is a mandatory quest for the City Lord. If the repair fee is not paid within the time limit, it will be forcibly deducted from the City Lord’s inventory.
“F*ck!”
Everyone was flabbergasted as they looked through the contents of the quest.
Sh*t, how could the system play tricks on players like that?
The Quan Zhen Sect already knew this way in advance so it explained their decision to auction off the City Lord Seal.
One million gold coins was not an extraordinarily significant sum for Feng Yun Realm but he already spent that amount to acquire the seal. Now, he needed another one million gold coins to actually complete the mandatory mission.
After all, there was no free lunch in the world.
Feng Yun Realm thought very highly of himself so he was outraged at the current situation because he was taken for a fool.
He was a man who treasured his image in front of others so he could not stand that the Quan Zhen Sect had played him like a fiddle in this whole incident.
Feng Yun Realm’s anger finally reached a boiling point as he furiously screamed, “F*ck, Quan Zhen Sect, you piece of trash, this is not over. Everyone, come with me. I am going over to Twilight City to exterminate them!”
Feng Yun Realm immediately turned around and headed for the airs.h.i.+p bound for Twilight City.
Tiger and the others quickly ran up to Feng Yun Realm to reason with him, “Calm down, Young Master Feng, Twilight City is Quan Zhen Sect’s territory. Their strength is not something to be trifled with after all. Don’t you think we are just sending ourselves to our deaths if we head over there ourselves? Why not we wait for Ratty and devise a better plan.”
Feng Yun Realm was not thinking rationally and bellowed, “Isn’t Ratty asleep? What better plan? Nonsense!”
Tiger and the other players had relatively high tiered equipment and skills so restraining Feng Yun Realm was not an issue. The problem was that Feng Yun Realm was their boss and they did not dare to show such disrespect.
Just when it seemed that everyone was at a complete loss, a bright light flashed past and Ratty appeared before them. Ratty looked at them with a slightly confused expression as he demanded, “What is going on? I just left you guys for a short moment and this is what I come back to see?”
Tiger gingerly walked up to him as his back was drenched in cold sweat and said, “The boss wants to go all out on the Quan Zhen Sect. Boss, you should go and persuade him otherwise.”
“Ah? You guys also know what is happening?” Ratty asked him strangely.
“What are we supposed to know?” The rest were even more curious.
Ratty replied, “The player with the pink fog skill? I have already identified the culprit.”
“Oh?” Feng Yun Realm quickly quietened down when he heard this new information and inquired, “Say, what exactly is that skill?”
Ratty continued, “I just posted a thread in the forums and other players have indeed confirmed the existence of such skill. Furthermore, it has appeared more than once.”
“When did it last appear?”
Feng Yun Realm was still harbouring the grudge of how Quan Zhen Sect had stripped him bare and completely humiliated him.
Upon hearing these new developments, Feng Yun Realm quickly cast other thoughts aside.
Ratty said, “Some said it happened in Thunderstorm City, some saw it in War G.o.d City. However, whenever this pink fog appears, it seemed that Quan Zhen Sect was always on the scene. I think one of their members possesses this ability.”
“F*ck.” After a thorough a.n.a.lysis by Ratty, the crowd was taken aback, “Quan Zhen Sect!! Why is it always them!”
“I am only breaking down what are the plausible scenarios!” Ratty clarified himself, “The pink fog might also have something to do with the environment. There is no one hundred percent guarantee that Quan Zhen Sect is responsible for this…”
“F*ck!”
Feng Yun Realm rudely interrupted the flow of Ratty’s a.n.a.lysis and exclaimed, “It is likely that bunch of idiots who ran away! Why did I even think that they were remotely kind enough to return the seal?”
“?” Ratty was perplexed, “What is the connection between the two events?”
“Take a look at this!” Feng Yun Realm once again showed Ratty the quest he was a.s.signed.
“F*ck!” Ratty blurted out. “It is indeed them!”
The seal was auctioned by the Quan Zhen Sect after all so they definitely had insider knowledge of the City Lord Seal.
If it were others, they would definitely have kept the seal for themselves since it was perceived to be so valuable. However, the robbers that Feng Yun Realm encountered actually returned him the seal.
Initially, Ratty was confused as to why they would return the seal but when he saw the quest, he instantly understood everything.
Selling defective goods at an auction was already despicable enough but Quan Zhen Sect had even stooped to the level of robbing people around the auction venue… They were indeed a bunch of trash who had no morals!
“That…” Tiger thought, “Do we want to mobilise people and discuss a solution with them in Twilight City?”
No matter whether it was Feng Yun Realm or Ratty or even Tiger or the others, all of them had a belly full of fire and they were ready to vent out their frustrations since they have identified the perpetrators.
“Discuss?” Ratty sneered, “Do you actually think they are a reasonable bunch?”
“This…”
Tiger had nothing more to add.
Wasn’t it simply just a joke to hope to amicably settle the issue with Quan Zhen Sect?
Ratty continued, “Twilight City is their territory, and we simply don’t have the numbers to fight against them. Even if we were a top tier guild, it would still be a death wish to fight them in their own territory. Have you forgotten how Twilight City had won the battle against Light Faction all by their own strength?”
“Well… what do we do then?” Feng Yun Realm regained his senses at this moment and was considering all that Ratty had advised.
Ratty thought for another few moments and he plainly said, “The gentleman does not fight! Since we are not going to Twilight City to find them, let them find us here instead.”
“What if they don’t come?” Feng Yun Realm asked.
“Hmph!” Ratty replied adamantly, “As long as there is something valuable to entice them, they will definitely show up. We can…”
