302 Chapter 302 - The Clueless Traversing Four Seas (1/2)

Young Master's Elite's six men dragged Xiaoyu to hide by the courtyard of the nearby dilapidated church. All of them crouched by the church's wall as they staked out Mr. Adrian's mansion. Soon, players of Traversing Four Seas arrived from every direction and surrounded the premise. Finally, the three core leaders, Oathless Sword, Youthful Reflection, and Gale Force, made it to the place and began positioning their guild members.

The airhead June's Rain felt very confused. ”Mr. Adrian is not here, so what are they trying to do?”

It was difficult to keep June's Rain up to speed with their thoughts, so the six men chose to stay silent, instead. Only Brother Assist was a little anxious about everything. ”Won't Mr. Adrian be back soon?”

”Mhm-mhm. Didn't he say he's off to call the guards? What do you think he'll do at the sight of many players cordoning off his mansion when he gets back with the guards?” Young Master Han asked.

”This…” Everyone could feel chill ran down their spines. ”Isn't this going a bit overboard?”

”No. It's very interesting!” Young Master Han happily propped himself up against the wall using his arm. He then fished out a bottle of liquor from his dimensional pocket using his free hand. It was evident that he wanted to pair his drinking with the pitiful plight the Traversing Four Seas' players would soon find themselves in.

Traversing Four Seas completed their cordon of the mansion. Holding the note in his hand, Oathless Sword took a deep breath and knocked on the door thrice before he darted behind the formation, making people wonder if he was truly a Warrior with how quickly he had moved.

Obviously, no one was going to answer the door since the mansion was currently empty. These players started looking at one another in confusion after waiting anxiously for quite some time.

Oathless Sword went forward and knocked on the door again. He did not rush to retreat behind the safety of his troops this time. Instead, Oathless Sword went up to the door and placed his ear right on its surface in an attempt to hear any sound coming from inside the mansion. Youthful Reflection and Gale Force followed suit. Eventually, the three men shook their heads.

”Shall we go in and take a look?” the three men exchanged glances before breaking in.

”He he he!” The six peeping men were giggling in their mirth.

”What are they doing there? Are they planning to steal gold ore, too?” It was now June's Rain's turn to feel anxious.

”Nah. They're here to look for someone,” Gu Fei consoled her.

June's Rain was instantly pacified. Indeed, it was very easy to placate naïve people.

Oathless Sword and the other two entered Mr. Adrian's mansion and searched around it, but they could naturally not find anything suspicious. The trio saw that the place was a bit messy, but they could presently not think of why it would be so, and they walked out of the mansion filled with confusion.

The six men were all snickering by now. Suddenly, they heard someone outside the Traversing Four Seas' cordon yell, ”Who are you people?!”

The six men subconsciously jerked their necks back when they heard this. Mr. Adrian had finally returned. Gu Fei lamented to June's Rain, ”Hear that? The revived Mr. Adrian is still the same as ever, and his voice is just like last time.”

”Revived?” June's Rain asked, confused.

”Never mind.” Gu Fei forcefully calmed himself.

All craned their necks out to continue peeping. Although they originally thought that Young Master Han had gone a little overboard when he purposefully set up the Traversing Four Seas against the NPC guards Mr. Adrian had called over, the sight of Mr. Adrian all by himself made them feel rather disappointed.

Brother Assist glumly kept his little booklet, ”And here I thought I would finally get a chance to gauge a NPC guard's strength!”

Before Oathless Sword could even send out the command himself, the Traversing Four Seas' players had already taken the initiative to surround Mr. Adrian. Oathless Sword walked over in a dignified manner and waved the note in front of the NPC. ”Mr. Adrian, we already know what you've done. Why don't you give yourself up?”

All the players present felt very nervous, and this included the six men of Young Master's Elite. Oathless Sword was undoubtedly displaying an item to the NPC. Whether this would trigger any condition for the quest or not would entirely depend on this one move.

In the end, the NPC Adrian did not even glance at the note in Oathless Sword's hand and merely continued to angrily point at the men surrounding him. ”You burglars! Just what do you all intend to do?!”

Oathless Sword stepped even closer to Mr. Adrian and pushed the note right up to the latter's eyes. ”Read it. The note.” He was already using the item as blatantly as possible, yet Mr. Adrian was still ignoring his action.

The Traversing Four Seas' members were disappointed; it seemed that the item was useless in this place.

The six men of Young Master's Elite felt very gratified by this outcome. Had Mr. Adrian allowed Traversing Four Seas to expose him this easily, they would have pretty much busied themselves with the quest for nothing.

Mr. Adrian was still trapped inside the players' encirclement as the three core members of Traversing Four Seas had an emergency meeting, resulting in Youthful Reflection hailing Young Master Han: ”The note is useless.”

”Is that so? That can't be!” Young Master Han faked his disbelief.

”Are you guys sure that he's the one?” Youthful Reflection continued to ask.

”Of course,” Young Master Han replied.

The three men continued to discuss the matter among themselves.

”Do you guys have any proof?” Youthful Reflection asked.

”Isn't the note itself the proof?” Young Master Han asked back.

”But he didn't admit to it!” Youthful Reflection exclaimed.

”Think of ways to force him to confess, then!” Young Master Han suggested.
