106 Chapter 106 - One after Another (2/2)

”They're here!” Lie Lie squealed in delight. She quickly got up and headed toward that direction. The head quickly ducked inside the alley once it saw her approaching.

”Lie Lie, don't be so impulsive!” Ice Glaze anxiously called after her as she too hurried over. Lie Lie stopped as she waited for Ice Glaze to catch up. The two arrived at the alley and looked around it; unfortunately, they did not find the person who owned that head.

”He ran off!” Lie Lie said ruefully.

Unbeknown to the two ladies, the same person had circled around them with its bow drawn and arrow trained at their heads. It was an Archer.

Lie Lie and Ice Glaze were clueless to this fact. Gu Fei, at that moment, noticed the unusual expression on Nightmare of Death's face as he looked at the ladies' direction. Gu Fei looked at the ladies' direction as well. Upon seeing what was happening, he hurriedly shouted, ”Don't shoot! They're allies!”

”Ah!” A scream rang out. The arrow had already been shot.

The furtive head Lie Lie had spotted actually belonged to Royal God Call. With his grasp of the Archer job class' appropriate combat style, it was apparent how brilliant of an Archer Royal God Call was compared to the two from before. He knew very well the advantage of the enemies remaining oblivious to an Archer's whereabouts. Thus, once Royal God Call realized that he had been spotted, he very calmly changed his strategic position instead of frantically using Snipe.

That alley Royal God Call had peeked from was specifically chosen by him because it had various escape routes. With his high Agility, Royal God Call easily disappeared from inside the alley and went into an adjoining alley, having a clear view of Lie Lie and Ice Glaze from his new location.

The arrow whistled through the air with a sharp sound, clearly belonging to the Archer job class' strongest skill thus far, Snipe.

An arrow on Snipe from Royal God Call could almost insta-kill Xiaoyu. As for Lie Lie and Ice Glaze… Gu Fei shut his eyes. His heart pounded loudly as he thought of ways to explain this misunderstanding to the two ladies.

”Ah!” The ladies heard Gu Fei's shout and turned around in time to see an arrow heading toward them at mach speed. The projectile seemed to have enough force behind it to pierce through them. By the time they managed to scream, the arrow had already arrived before them. The Snipe's speed was truly not something an average player could evade.

Unexpectedly, the Snipe did not puncture anyone as it slipped through the small gap between Lie Lie and Ice Glaze's heads. The ensuing gust of wind that had trailed the arrow buffeted the ladies' faces as they paled visibly.

”Phew! That was close!” Royal God Call sighed in relief.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Fei opened his eyes and saw that the two ladies were still alive. He happily asked, ”You missed?”

”On purpose,” Royal God Call arrogantly said. Nobody knew if he was telling the truth or not.

”It's a good miss!” Gu Fei complimented.

”No, you're missing the whole point! I purposely shifted the trajectory of my arrow; it's precisely because my shot's so precise that neither of them died!” Royal God Call yelled.

The illogical statement left Gu Fei momentarily speechless.

At this moment, Royal God Call's heart was trembling, Yet another two ladies. Is Miles really that talented at picking up women? Looks like I need to test out that method he's shown me.

”Why're you here?” Gu Fei asked as he recalled that his fellow mercenaries should be setting up an ambush by the Thieves' Union. What was Royal God Call doing here by the north gate, then?

”I'm just passing by!” Royal God Call positioned himself behind Nightmare of Death while he answered Gu Fei's question, sizing up the enemy Thief.

What're they up to this time? Gu Fei wondered inside him. They must have discussed everything on the mercenary channel. Unfortunately, Gu Fei currently had no time or ability to take a look at their discussion.

”Hey, beautiful,” Royal God Call ignored Gu Fei and greeted the two ladies instead.

Lie Lie and Ice Glaze nodded their heads at him.

Lie Lie had initially looked down on the Archer job class. Dispatching the two Archers from before reinforced her unfavorable opinion about the Archers. And yet, Royal God Call's timely display of what Archers were capable of made her reconsider her view and think that this expression had some merit: ”There were no trash job classes, just trash players.”

The three stood by the side as they watched Gu Fei continue his performance.

”Are you his friend?” Lie Lie asked Royal God Call.

Royal God Call nodded his head.

”He's hopeless, yet he's not letting us help him!” Lie Lie lamented.

Royal God Call nodded his head once more, ”We need to give these young ones a chance to train themselves. Otherwise, he'd never be able to accomplish anything. I'd settle that clown in two or three moves if I were to take Miles' place, but that'd be pointless!”

You sh*tty brat! Gu Fei cursed in his mind upon hearing his words. Royal God Call was obviously using this opportunity to exact revenge on Gu Fei for disdaining him due to his young age.

”What is he practicing?” Ice Glaze curiously asked. She could somewhat feel that Gu Fei was experimenting with Nightmare of Death.

”Uhh. He's practicing his swordsmanship,” Royal God Call casually replied. In his eyes, Gu Fei's sword wielding was nothing short of crude.

Lie Lie immediately laughed uproariously, ”Swordsmanship? What sort of swordsmanship is that?!”

Gu Fei felt upset when he heard them ridicule his kung fu due to his performance right now. Who'd imagine that this crappy style is something I've made up? Average people truly can't fathom the brilliance of my style. Even if I explain the sophistry behind my action, I doubt they'll comprehend it. I'll just tolerate their jeering.

Royal God Call did not stop there. Wearing a mischievous expression, he seriously said to the two ladies, ”I'm gonna tell you a secret: Miles knows kung fu!”

Lie Lie once more burst into peals of laughter. Even Ice Glaze could not help herself but titter.

Royal God Call once more adopted a serious tone, ”Honestly.”

”Mhm-mhm, we believe you,” Lie Lie chortled as she applauded, ”Yes, what an amazing swordsmanship! HA HA HA HA HA…” She continued to laugh uncontrollably.

”He he…” Royal God Call smiled darkly. My plot succeeded! Miles must seem like a huge buffoon in these ladies' eyes now, right? Let's see if Miles will dare to despise me again just because he's older!

Gu Fei naturally felt miserable upon being ridiculed by the three. He had the sudden urge to strike Nightmare of Death on the mouth once more. But seeing that the latter was already sporting three separate imprints on his face and there was no room for another indentation, he decided not to do so.

As he was thinking of Royal God Call's purpose for coming over, Gu Fei suddenly had an epiphany.

Gu Fei's fellow mercenaries must have realized his inability to check his messages due to him stalling for time by waylaying Nightmare of Death here. That would leave him clueless regarding their preparations. Without any way to inform Gu Fei, they had sent their fastest member, Royal God Call, over here to signal him. Such an arrangement showed the care they had in their planning. Young Master Han doesn't just have an effeminate face, he's quite meticulous as well, Gu Fei thought to himself. If it were Gu Fei who was doing the planning, he would likely not give every aspect of it as much thought.

Just as he was thinking of this, Gu Fei suddenly heard a thunderous voice boomed from behind him, ”Royal, you got here pretty fast.”

Isn't that War Without Wounds' voice? Gu Fei hurriedly looked behind him. War Without Wounds was not alone; he was accompanied by Brother Assist. The two were currently marching toward him. Gu Fei was becoming more and more confused as time ticked by, Just what's going on?

Without him figuring things out, another voice traveled over, ”Hmm? Everyone is here. I'm the slowest?”

Gu Fei turned his head and saw Young Master Han's pretty face.

”Great, you've got him stuck here! Quickly hold him down. I'll personally settle him!” Young Master Han instructed the people around him.

Ice Glaze quickly understood everything, It turns out Miles is dragging for time. He's waiting for this person to have his chance to vent.

Nightmare of Death stared at Young Master Han in confusion, thinking, Who is this person? When did I offend him?

Gu Fei was still oblivious at what was happening. Arriving by Gu Fei's side, Young Master Han waved his hand majestically, ”Alright, don't you have somewhere to be? Hurry up and log off already!”

War Without Wounds, Brother Assist, Young Master Han, and even Royal God Call – these players that had long-range job classes – came here and sandwiched Nightmare of Death in their midst.

Gu Fei stepped back. He looked bewilderedly as each of them stepped forward in succession. What's really going on? Just as his shoulder bumped against Young Master Han, he received a private message, ”Head over to the Thieves' Union. Read the rest of your instructions on the mercenary channel!”
