Chapter 690 (1/2)

Chapter 690

Kobatz and his cohorts ran away from the safe area . The others looked with eyes of disgust .

The Army never partic.i.p.ated in clearing activities after the 25th-floor Incident . They did, however, continue bullying other players with their divine duty as the perfect excuse . They hogged good grinding spots, they extorted money and resources from other players, “for the greater good” or some c.r.a.p like that . Needless to say, a lot of players are mad at them .

The Army’s hard request came as no surprise . But, after the Christmas boss event, Wu Yan appeared in the Army’s blacklist as a very sore spot at the side of the Army .

This is also the reason why Kobatz wavered when he approached them . Without Wu Yan around, the guy would have no qualms coming up to Klein & co to extort the map data out of them .

Lo and behold, even with Wu Yan here, Kobatz still came and asked for the map data . This goes to show just how nasty the Army is when it came to their operations .

Shameless petty villains like these are the reason why even Klein and Asuna who had high patience lost their cool with them . Normally, Asuna would never tell anyone to get lost instantly unless she really hated them . No one could blame her for las.h.i.+ng out at the Army .

Klein curled his lips .

“Those fellows, are they going to be okay?”

The Army excluding Kobatz looked very tired . If they continued in such a state while exploring the labyrinth, the risk could be greater…

And if they challenged the boss without proper preparations…

Asuna realized this and she had a worried look .

“They won’t challenge the boss directly, right?”

Wu Yan coldly laughed . In the original work, these guys did just that . They went into the boss’s room and they got wiped out . Looking at the trends, it’s highly likely even with his intervention, Kobatz will still barge his way into the boss room .

In other words, what happened in the original work would probably repeat itself here, Kobatz and his squad will be wiped out .

Wu Yan didn’t reveal his knowledge . He is not a big fan of the Army . Plus, they practically asked for death when they did things in such a reckless and haphazard manner . Why did he have to go out of his way to persuade them to do otherwise?

If it was anyone else, Wu Yan might try to intervene . However, for shameless a.s.sholes like them, death would come later if not now…

Wu Yan isn’t as soft or empathetic as Kirito and the others . He’s lenient but that is conditional on the people he’s dealing with . He’s not a saint who would give fair treatment to everyone .

But, the others didn’t follow the same train of thought .

“I think we should go take a look…”

Kirito frowned . Klein and the others had understanding smiles on their face . Kirito also helplessly laughed along with them .

“Asuna grabbed Wu Yan’s s.h.i.+rt . She looked into his eyes .

“I think we should go take a look, I don’t feel good letting them go like this…”

“You’re going to play the heroine as well?”

Wu Yan bitterly laughed while Asuna sighed .

“I gave them the map, what if something happens to them…”

“Don’t tell me you actually feel remorse after being coerced into giving that map information?”

Wu Yan is almost speechless .

Labyrinth map data is very expensive . If sold, it would net her a good sum of money . Even so, she gave them the map data for free . If they died, she said she would be sad . It’s Wu Yan’s turn to feel helpless now .

Asuna rolled her eyes at him .

“Anyway, let’s go check on them…”

“Fine…”

Wu Yan is not a happy camper .

She denied his request to fight the boss . Now, she’s pleading on behalf of a bunch of a.s.sholes to go help out in the boss fight . What a turn of event .

Kirito also questioned them .

“By the way, why didn’t you two just proceed with challenging the boss when you found the boss room?”
