Chapter 163 – Pestering
“Don’t worry, Guild Master! We shall not let him get away.” After hesitating a little, Cloud Dragon Rumblesea continued, “During this time, Guild Master, you… shouldn’t go outside—”
“What?! I, the guild master of the Cloud Dragon Gang, am supposedly so terrified of a guildless brat that I don’t have the gall to leave the city?” exclaimed Cloud Dragon Sailing with bloodshot eyes. He grabbed Cloud Dragon Rumblesea by the collar and shouted, “Even if I could throw away my dignity, can our guild afford to throw away OUR reputation? I’ll go and see just how many times he can kill me!”
“Yes, yes…” Beads of sweat rolled off Cloud Dragon Rumblesea’s forehead. “Rest a.s.sured, Guild Master, you can leave the city whenever you please. As soon as he comes, we definitely won’t let him get away.”
“I don’t care how you do it, I want him out of Black Tortoise City!” As the words fell, Cloud Dragon Sailing released Cloud Dragon Rumblesea, turned, and took his leave.
“What are you lot still standing around for? Go look for Money Grubber! Wait! Contact the All-Knowing Sect and buy intel on him!” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea shouted to the players behind him. Very soon, Cloud Dragon Rumblesea had the information he wanted: Money Grubber was killing monsters in a forest west of Black Tortoise City to get rid of his red name.
After taking the initiative to attack Cloud Dragon Sailing, Fatty’s Sin points had increased to a hundred. Because killing monsters decreased Sin points a little, the rogue had slain more than eighty creatures of the forest. He was currently pretty close to clearing his name.
Rumble… The ground suddenly shook, and a herd of players stampeded toward him from a distance. Fatty stopped what he was doing and coldly glared as the players surrounded him.
“Money Grubber, I must praise your courage!” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea looked down from his mount, a mutated wolf with a horn on its head, at Fatty. “You actually dared to kill our guild master twice! Where’d get you the guts?”
“None of your business,” Fatty replied indifferently, looking down at his dagger as he gently polished it.
“Trying to sound tough, hm? I’ll see how long you can maintain this show of strength.” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea smiled sinisterly. “Kill him!”
Fwis.h.!.+ The players of the Cloud Dragon Gang raised their weapon in unison, preparing to cast attacks at the rogue.
“Stupid,” breathed Fatty as he stared at Cloud Dragon Rumblesea. He then abruptly vanished.
“Stealth?” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea jeered. “Use AoE attacks. If he wants to Stealth, we’ll keep him in Stealth for the rest of his life.”
Boom! Countless skills rained across the entire area. A monster that resp.a.w.ned right at this moment was insta-killed without a single squeak.
After a round of haphazard attacking, the area still failed to yield any sign of Fatty; however, Cloud Dragon Rumblesea wasn’t deterred. He’d experienced this many times before and knew full well how to deal with a rogue.
The players spread out so that one of their rogues was stationed every few steps. These rogues cast skills in all directions, intending to knock Fatty out of Stealth.
But, while the rogues threw out as many Detects as they could, the surrounding area remained empty. Fatty appeared not once in their sights.
“Did he escape?” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea was incredulous. But, he wouldn’t be surprised if Fatty really had fled. After all, they did bring a great number of members this time. “Coward!” Cloud Dragon Rumblesea cursed in rage after they razed the vicinity thoroughly. Preparing to leave, he wheeled his mount…
Whoos.h.!.+ A cold flash shot out of the ground and directly toward his chest. Cloud Dragon Rumblesea paled in shock and frantically leaned backward. The cold light just grazed the tip of his nose. Despite managing to dodge in time, a small drop of blood dripped out from the abrasion. Cloud Dragon Rumblesea was able to identify the thing clearly: a crossbow arrow.
“Watch out! He’s underground!” a random player shouted in alarm.
