Chapter 537 - Admiral Rank? (1/2)

The birthday party was coming to an end in the small auditorium on the Sheraton Hotel’s fourth floor. After cutting the cake and singing the birthday song, it was finally time for tonight’s highlight, a Disney-themed part at midnight.

Everyone present could choose a costume they liked and dress up as their favorite Disney character. The daughter of Eryue Weicheng chose Elsa from Frozen, and Eryue Weicheng himself chose the dead old king. He watched his daughter and a plump kid dressed as Prince Aladdin perform the last dance. After that, his cell phone rang.

Eryue Weicheng frowned. Not only was he Arc of Light’s leader, but he was director of two listed companies. He now had two mobile phones and three numbers. One was used to answer business calls and family, while the second was dealing with the guilds and players.

He muted his business calls phone tonight, which could only mean that the phone that he used to deal with guild matter had to be the one ringing now. He glanced at his Patek Philippe watch and realized that it was 1 a.m.

Was the war with the union over?

Eryue Weicheng was not in a hurry. After Elsa and Aladdin were done with their dance, he stood up and took the lead to applaud for them. After that, the hotel staff began to clean up the stage, taking out a PS4 and other fun stuff. The birthday party had ended, and the kids could do whatever they wanted. Those wanting to keep playing could stay in the auditorium, and those who didn’t could retreat to the room upstairs to sleep. Eryue Weicheng walked to a secluded corner and returned the call to the number that called him. Swordfish, one of Arc of Light’s directors, answered the phone, sounding a little more than helpless.

“Something went wrong.”

“What is the problem? Has the target been caught?”

“Something went wrong with the plan tonight,” Swordfish reiterated. “A powerful guy is helping the union.”

“Huh?!”

Eryue Weicheng was surprised by what he heard. The union wasn’t small by any means, but not many powerful players had joined them either. As for the slightly more famous players, Arc of Light had come up with a plan to deal with them, where the operation should theoretically have a 100% success rate. Since he had the caliber to become the most powerful guild leader, doubling up as the director of two listed companies, he was used to solving such conundrums. Quickly calming his mind, he asked, “How big is the trouble?”

“Within an hour, he has killed five of our members and also robbed two Grade-C game items from us. He even managed to hack into our OA. He knows our every move. To settle the issue, the guild sent a special operations team to deal with him. They were supposed to seal his skills and defeat him, not to mention how all three were ‘Seven Warlords of the Sea’ level.”

The most commonly used method among players to evaluate combat power was the rounds of games they completed, but the technique had many shortcomings. First of all, players completing the single-player dungeons were generally stronger than those who completed the quest with a team. In a team, every player developed in a different direction. Some players specialized in combat, for instance.
