47 Chapter 47 - Taking the City by Storm (1/2)

The fleeing Gu Fei suddenly thought of unleashing Repeating Fireball on to the Traversing Four Seas' guild members who were presently chasing after him. This was the first time he had considered using a spell in an actual fight. Initially, he had only been trying to delay them for a bit so that he could make a successful getaway, yet the end result was actually gratifying: Two opponents were eliminated.

Unfortunately, Gu Fei saw players charging toward his direction from every street corner. They were probably the additional backup called here by No Smile. Gu Fei had to give up his plan of returning to kill No Smile, the sole survivor among his three original pursuers, and focused on escaping from the scene of the crime.

Gu Fei threw the pursuers off his track by circling the chaotic streets of Yunduan City. He then found a quiet and isolated alley to take the straw hat off his head, remove the piece of black cloth covering his face, and put away the Flames of Baptism. After doing all this, he blatantly walked out of the alley with a magic staff in hand.

More and more players could be seen heading toward the Thieves' Union, with a handful being members of Traversing Four Seas and the rest being the onlookers. Gu Fei felt bad for them since there was nothing to see over there anymore.

Gu Fei, the culprit, walked nonchalantly on the streets and reached Ray's Bar in no time. Ray was already quite familiar with their gang of six, especially when two out of the rest could leave a lasting impression with their looks alone. As Gu Fei entered the bar, Ray greeted him with a smile and pointed toward their usual room.

Gu Fei walked over and lifted the curtain to take a look inside. He saw that these five were truly men of their words, as they truly went drinking at Ray's Bar after saying that they would!

The five raised their heads and saw Gu Fei. Young Master Han looked at the time and said, ”Six minutes.”

”Sorry, guys. It's my win,” Sword Demon said blankly, and then he laid his hand with palm up onto the table.

The other four put their hands dolefully into their pockets, each taking 5 gold coins out and tossing them onto the table. Sword Demon collected the coins with absolutely no consideration for the others, before reaching his hand out again toward Royal, ”You should be giving me ten.”

”Oh, come on! It's just a casual remark! You can't be taking that seriously?!” Royal God Call was not pleased.

”Of course, I'm taking that seriously. A man should always mean what he said,” Sword Demon's hand was still hanging out toward him.

”Just give it to him. Otherwise, we can't continue drinking,” Young Master Han said.

Royal God Call unwillingly handed additional 5 gold coins to Sword Demon.

The five only started paying attention to Gu Fei after settling their little dispute. Young Master Han took the lead and applauded, ”Welcome! A warm welcome to our top slayer!”

Gu Fei stared at Sword Demon, who was putting the gold coins into his pocket, and asked, ”What's all this about?”

”Oh, it's nothing really. We're making a bet on how long it would take you to fight your way out from there,” Young Master Han said.

”Betting, eh? And Sword Demon won?” Gu Fei sat down while saying that.

Sword Demon nodded.

”Well half of that ought to be mine!” Gu Fei laughed.

Sword Demon nodded again. He reached into his pocket and took out the gold coins. After counting the coins thoroughly, he separated 12 gold and 50 silver coins from his pile and pushed them toward Gu Fei, ”Half for you and half for me.”

Gu Fei felt stunned, as he was simply joking with Sword Demon. Young Master Han let out a long sigh, ”Just take it! Remember not to joke with those who lack a sense of humor next time.”

Sword Demon remained very serious, ”You earned it. I'd split the coins with you anyway even if you didn't say that.”

Gu Fei was laughing dryly at Sword Demon, ”In that case, thanks!” He put the coins inside his pocket while Royal God Call looked on with a sorrowful expression.

”So what happened? How is No Smile now?” Young Master Han asked Gu Fei.

”I don't know. I came here straight after breaking through that blockade. You're not expecting me to go back and have a talk with him after all that, right? There're quite a lot of them over there now,” Gu Fei said.

Royal God Call nodded, ”Those heading to Yunxia Valley have been summoned back as well.”

”Has No Smile said anything yet on the guild channel?” Young Master Han asked Royal God Call.

Royal God Call stared intently at the chat history of the guild channel, ”Hmm... Everyone is either asking what happened to him or the identities of his attackers. But he has remained silent all throughout.”

”Oh, wait! He posted something!” Royal God Call said suddenly.

”What did he post?”

”'Avenge me, my fellow brothers!'” Royal God Call read it out loud for everyone.
