109 The last supper (2/2)

If Tom still insists on thinking with his dick and promises to take care of them, I will do my best to avoid any responsibility. I have enough mischievous children to take care of on my own.

And those children are fully grown and even smell worse than a child ever could. They did not seem to mind the stench and the filth they were living in. Although I had to postpone the lecture I had prepared for those people despite the end of the feast being so close. They had finally started to eat the last monster corpse.

I did not have the time for a lecture, because I did not know when the wave of players would take notice of our existence. Relying on Tom was not an option, because his priorities clearly lied elsewhere. As long as he does not change his mind to impress his crush I am fine with it.

” One is closing in on your position be prepared.” said the tenant in my head in his usual bored voice.

I get it, here have this memory of the crossbow I had intended to build later on. This should work as an incentive right?

” Oh absolutely, you will hear from me.”

If I can deal with him, I will have absolutely no trouble to deal with training them. Still, I will have to teach and train them multiple things, these lazy bunch still has not noticed me eyeing them for quite some time now.

The lack of vigilance would cost the, dearly, if this was a battlefield, they would not stand a chance in hell. My expectations had never been to high because I knew the understanding of humans was shallow at best.

I do wonder what will happen if the player sees this crowd of NPCs. Will he just run towards them to hire them? This situation would be by the far the easiest to handle, especially if the player notices that everyone already has been hired.

” Sorry, but the player has stopped in a location not far away from you.”

Here I briefly thought it could be easy for once. Is he intimated by the huge amount of NPCs or is he waiting for someone to group up with him? Are they here for the NPCs or someone else?

I will have to wait and watch how the rest of the players acts once the come close to the group. My current position does not allow me to turn around to see the player but a description of their actions are enough for me to make my plans.

No one from my side had any idea about the upcoming potential danger, as they happily ingested the meals into their mouths. They were still mocking me despite all of that time, they continued it as if it was a tradition.

This tradition might have been full of creativity as it started but right now each joke was just a replica of one who had been told prior. I could not fathom how one could laugh about the same joke over and over again.

While they were rehashing the jokes, the players did not wait and more notification appeared in my head detailing the situation of the surroundings. Though I could tell that something was up by the time the second player had decided to wait while being in my direct line of view.

After more and more players decided to surround our entire group I had to prepare for the worst. Surrounding us meant they did not want anyone to leave this place. As of now, I had spotted 3 players waiting in the distance and keeping an eye on our entire group.

I knew that their group totalled up to 10 players. they all were still not closing in on my group as if they were still waiting for something. The three players I had seen, did not have any special characteristics and did not wear anything special to elevate themselves out of the masses of players I had encountered.

I did not any kind of danger coming from, though my standards for dangerous individuals is a bit skewed from attracting the attention of some pretty strong ones. Not one these 3 was selected by a God, so I can safely conclude that their strength is not that over the top.

Since this is a city or what's left of it, they can not attack me or the NPCs, so I wonder what they are up to. Though the looked rather pissed as they stared intently at our group. I had a hunch, who was the target for their affection.

They are surely as good at causing trouble as I am. Their behaviour would attract a lot of ire if they pulled that kind of stunt with other players as well. Though NPCs should not be able to escape from the players once they had been hired.

Wait who tells me that Tom had hired these people in the first place? This is just an assumption from my side. I just pierced the details together due to the sudden change in their behaviour. They might have changed because they noticed Tom appear amidst them.

I will have to ask Tom after all of this is over but since no of them can escape the current predicament I will not have to worry about any of them dinner-dashing. I will make sure, that will remember this feast for a very long time.

The players were still surrounding us and not showing any signs of leaving any time soon. Though the group of NPCs was still laughing merrily and enjoying the last bit of monster flesh.

I had stopped my stretching and was just acting like someone who was sleeping. It was not the time to stand out yet. Gauging their current tactic, they are not planning to make friends here. It was just a matter of time before they would come closer.

I am intrigued, what that bunch had done to cause so many players to go after them. They did not have the strength to beat them in a fight. So why are they that angry with them?

Until till they finally make a move I have no other choice than to sit back and relax. The fun was just about to begin, either way, It felt strange to be in such a situation without being the one who had caused it for once.

Should I wait and see how it plays out before intervening? I discarded this idea directly, as much as I wanted to see what they might have done, I did not want things to spiral out of control.

But the moment of truth finally came, as the players, all started to move simultaneously and as expected they did not look very pleased with the group of NPC.
