Chapter 641: Deterrence by fame

“Nn?”

Wu Yan can’t help but felt a bit taken aback by the crowd here. He stopped for a second, then, he continued approaching them without hesitation.

His footsteps disappeared in the pristine snow. However, the effect he had on the raid group didn’t decrease any further. He’s a walking legend after all!

Step step step step

He approached them at a steady pace. When he got close, the other clearing guilds had to part way for him. They did this without thinking at all. The moment they came to their senses, their bodies already moved out of Wu Yan’s way.

No one wanted to stand in the way of the strongest players!

Wu Yan continued barging his way into the group without giving anyone a second look. Haughty frontliners didn’t even think about messing with him. They might have thought about criticizing him but n.o.body actually said anything. They are all frontliners with very capable skills, somehow, their bodies just stopped listening to them.

An excited voice broke the barrier of silence.

“Yan!”

Souta greeted Wu Yan with an excited look. Souta also made sure to puff his chest out. He walked towards Wu Yan while all eyes are on him.

Wu Yan stopped and he turned towards Souta.

“I heard Sachi said you brought a team to do this raid. Why are you guys still loitering around the entrance?”

He glanced at the Knights of Blood Oath, the Black Cats, Fuurinkazan, and Divine Dragons, and the Army. He grinned and he cracked a cold one.

“What? You guys waiting to welcome me or something?”

Souta scratched the back of his head awkwardly. The Black Cats didn’t antic.i.p.ate this, Their guild leader wouldn’t act like this under normal situation, he’s friendly but he’s not this agreeable with other players or guild masters…

He’s acting like he’s talking to his senior or idol…

Only the 3 other personal friends of Souta who are acting elders of this guild truly knew about Wu Yan’s contributions. Without him, the Black Cats wouldn’t be as prosperous as they are today.

In a lot of ways, Wu Yan is their greatest benefactor.

The other Black Cats stopped geeking over Wu Yan. They started putting on looks of joy and elation.

They are proud of the fact that their guild leader knows someone so high-profiled!

They felt pretty d.a.m.n glorious.

Inside SAO, everyone knew about the mysterious and heroic Wu Yan. It’s hard to catch even a glimpse of him. The other clearing guilds only had a better chance to greet him than average players, even then, they couldn’t boast about personally dealing or knowing Wu Yan. They forgot about recruiting him because he made his disinterest pretty apparent.

The Black Cats knew about this and they are all proud of being in the same guild as someone who befriended Wu Yan.

Knights of Blood, Fuurinkazan, Divine Dragons, and the Army turned into statutes. They suddenly had a bad feeling.

If this legendary player cooperated with the Black Cats, the special boss…

The others started taking up guards instead of longingly looking at Wu Yan with admiration.

In front of a revival item, everyone knew the boss took priority over even a legendary figure.

Souta didn’t think so. He knew that’s not Wu Yan’s style. He preferred doing things on his own, that’s how he dealt with the Black Cats anyway.

Souta didn’t invite Wu Yan into his squad. He helplessly expressed his disappointment.

“Now that you’re here, I guess we can forget about getting the item…”

“Come now, don’t be so pessimistic…’

Wu Yan laughed heartily as he slapped Souta’s back.

“Who knows, you might even get the last hit…”

Souta shook his head.

“I wouldn’t dream of it…”

Wu Yan said nothing regarding that. He lifted his head and he scanned over everyone quickly. The others felt awkward when Wu Yan looked at them. Finally, he saw Kirito and Asuna.

It’s been a long time since they met. He had no particular feelings for Kirito, he spent more time looking at Asuna. She took his breath away.

He never saw her real-life appearance. He only knows about her 2D looks from the anime and light novels. Now that he got a good look at her, he has to admit that she’s a stunning beauty indeed. If he was to rank her against his wives, she would definitely be above average even among all the beauties he had the opportunity of getting to know.
