Chapter 1491: Come Come Come, Kill And Bury
Sanguine Warflag was not any saint. Putting faith in his character was as good as suicide.
Killing people indiscriminately after losing the capital station was a crime even Void Blade could not bear if one of the many members of Sanguine Alliance were to expose their misdeeds.
Ruminating on the problem, Big Bear Deng Deng An harrumphed, “Why not let’s take some people along? Sanguine Rain can tag along with you. We will be waiting outside!”
“It seems this is the arrangement.” Captain Don’t Open Fire nodded helplessly.
There was no other way around this predicament. Although bringing so many people would make Captain Don’t Open Fire seem like the guilty party, at the very least, this move would give him added confidence.
Bringing reinforcements first meant more leverage in any discussions. Furthermore, if Sanguine Alliance turned hostile, Captain Don’t Open Fire would not be caught totally unprepared.
After considering the scenarios, Captain Don’t Open Fire conveyed his intentions to Sanguine Warflag.
“There is!” Fearless replied, “The bar is a public place, while this is a private estate. Captain Don’t Open Fire does not have a sense of security and will definitely send a few a.s.sa.s.sins to scout the location. If you bring too many people, he will definitely not make a move. This brat is actually so careful. It is probably impossible to ambush them here.”
“No worries!” w.a.n.g Yu waved his concerns, “As long as I have a valid reason, I can kill him no matter wherever he is.”
“Sii…”
Upon hearing w.a.n.g Yu’s words, everyone in the place took a sip of the cool air.
F*ck, Captain Don’t Open Fire, what did you do to incur the wrath of these people…
“What about you guys?” After hearing Fearless’s a.n.a.lysis, Sanguine Stormbringer wondered loudly in an embarra.s.sed tone.
The reputation of Quan Zhen Sect preceded itself. The strength of a single w.a.n.g Yu was equivalent to the overall strength of an entire guild itself. If Void Blade were to see even a glimpse of any Quan Zhen Sect members, they would not even approach the place.
“Of course we have to hide!” Fearless chuckled, “We will be hiding on the rooftop of the bar, so we can be the first to kill him.”
“It is not right to kill him like this.” w.a.n.g Yu stroked his lower chin in contemplation, “I have killed him multiple times in the past but he has clearly not repented. I shall give him an experience that will be etched deeply in his mind this time.”
“Holy sh*t…”
The players from Sanguine Alliance once again broke out in cold sweat as they thanked their lucky stars that they did not offend w.a.n.g Yu in any way. If not, their end would be as tragic as Captain Don’t Open Fire.
“It is settled then!” Fearless grinned from ear to ear. “Just follow my arrangements.”
…
As Fearless had predicted, Captain Don’t Open Fire was extremely careful and only made his way to Middle Street with his men after his scouts had confirmed the route to be safe.
After a short period of time, every exit from Middle Street was blocked. Following that, Captain Don’t Open Fire brought Sanguine Rain and Sanguine Wolf into the bar.
Sanguine Warflag was terribly annoyed at every little action of Captain Don’t Open Fire.
He was reminded that the experts like Sanguine Rain beside Captain Don’t Open Fire were poached over by Void Blade.
Bringing these experts who had history with him to negotiations was simply a power play. Maybe it was simply a way for him to ensure his own safety. As Sanguine Warflag and the others looked towards Captain Don’t Open Fire, they all displayed irksome and disgusted expressions.
Sanguine Rain and Sanguine Wolf were caught in the middle.
“Hmph!” Sanguine Warflag’s tone was dripping with sarcasm. “Captain Don’t Open Fire, just how anxious are you? We did not even say anything and you have taken the liberty to bring your entire guild over here?”
“Haha!” Captain Don’t Open Fire chuckled heartily and reb.u.t.ted, “Your Sanguine Alliance really understands my Void Blade. How would I dare come here alone without sufficient backup? Enough of all these idle talks; let’s get to the main point.”
“Main point? What main point?” Sanguine Warflag feigned a flabbergasted look.
“What is the main purpose of the meeting today?” Gazing at Sanguine Warflag’s puzzled expression, Captain Don’t Open Fire’s face darkened, “Gamblers must be honorable. Since you have lost, it is time to hand over the capital station. Regarding the matter of compensation, Boss Warflag, how much do you intend to pay us?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire pointed at the entrance of the bar at the players from Void Blade, “This time, I had requested for additional help and incurred additional costs that amounted to over 10 million gold. This figure should be an astronomical amount for the Sanguine Alliance but it is just chump change for my guild. As long as your Sanguine Alliance recognises my Void Blade to be superior, I can easily waive off any compensation.”
“F*ck you!” Sanguine Warflag did not even plan to be constructive in the negotiations and his anger was easily ignited at the slightest insult from. He drew out his weapon in fury.
“What are you trying to do?
At this juncture, Sanguine Rain took a step in front of Captain Don’t Open Fire as he also aimed his bow at Sanguine Warflag’s head.
“Sanguine Rain! You!”
Sanguine Warflag was filled with rage. He did not expect such a long-time brother to actually turn on him.
“Move back, all of you!” Sanguine Rain did not pay attention to Sanguine Warflag as he coldly stared down at him.
Sanguine Stormbringer quickly pulled Sanguine Warflag back to his seat.
Since everyone had been playing the game together for so long, Sanguine Warflag was clear on the capabilities of Sanguine Rain. Professional players simply could not be compared to the common ones.
Sanguine Warflag could only blame himself that he was not a boss and did not have the money to throw at experts to employ them to act as guards. He wanted so badly to pull Sanguine Rain and the other defectors down to the netherworld.
“Good, very good!” Sanguine Warflag stared back at Sanguine Rain, “You have now grown wings and want to fly by yourself isn’t it! I am not handing over anything to you guys!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire continued, “Even if you insist on not handing over, the system will be forced to transfer the management of the capital station to Void Blade in three days. Don’t blame me for not reminding you!”
“Hmph!” Sanguine Warflag scoffed, “You talk as if you can even stay alive in Twilight City for another three days.”
“Oh?” Captain Don’t Open Fire squinted his eyes in a mocking fas.h.i.+on and bragged, “Are you waiting for the Quan Zhen Sect to deliver my corpse? Sorry, that bunch from Quan Zhen Sect have been beaten by me till they cannot even show their face anymore. They can’t even fend for themselves, much less bother with you…”
“Is that the case?” Sanguine Warflag gently smiled. “Have you forgotten where you truly stand after having all that money? Do you think your garbage guild can even match up to Termination Manor?”
“Termination Manor?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire was taken aback.
Captain Don’t Open Fire opened his mouth to rebut but all the players on the scene simultaneously received a system message.
