403 Chapter 403 - Wait Up! (2/2)

”At this rate, it is very possible they are all together,” Flame Singed Clothes said the moment the barkeep left.

Southern Lone Blade nodded. It has been three days, and neither Gu Fei nor any of those experts had appeared in the meantime. Given the fact they were also all friends, the likelihood that they might be travelling together was high.

”In that case, we gotta go with Plan B,” Southern Lone Blade said.

The others nodded in agreement. They had naturally expected the scenario where Gu Fei would be together with those expert friends of his, so they had already made a contingency plan for it.

”This is so troublesome!” the Archer Glue complained as he yawned. He had not have a good night's sleep for the past three days. That ferry had six scheduled trips in a day, each about fours apart from one another. Realistically, this meant they could only sleep for three hours each time since they did not wish to miss even a single arrival, making the whole situation quite the ordeal for them.

”It's almost time,” Southern Lone Blade said after a quick glance at the time.

The other six men nodded as they all placed their glasses down on the table and fixed their eyes on the distant water, watching a large ferry slowly appearing.

Their emotions welled up as the ship drew closer to the harbor.

The ship berthed with a loud thump. The system had no fear of damaging the ship anyway, so it was rather audacious about how it handled the watercraft.

The wooden boarding plank slid out from the boat as the seven men looked on attentively. Soon, players began to step off in threes and twos. Finally, a player dressed in black robes appeared. The six men made sure that this man was not a hallucination before turning their gazes over to Southern Lone Blade.

”There's no mistake about it. It's him!” Southern Lone Blade sighed in relief, as a burden lifted off his chest. There was still no guarantee he would be able to beat the man, but at the very least this meant the end of their vigil. It was really quite the torment for them!

”I don't see any of his companions, either!” Flame Singed Clothes was quite excited. Sword Demon, Young Master Han, and the others were all very prominent characters, people who they could all identify with a single glance at the crowd. The ship was empty at the moment, yet they had not caught sight of any of them.

It was Glue, who could see clearer than any of them, that added, ”There's another person with him, though, but they do not seem very well acquainted with each other.”

”So is it Plan A or C?” the Priest among the seven asked.

They had came up with three plans in total. Plan A was if Gu Fei traveled alone, B was if Gu Fei was accompanied by that bunch of experts, while Plan C was if he did not travel with those experts, and was instead travelling with the a random crowd. Even though he did have someone accompanying him, it was just the one person, so there was no need to use plan C. Plan A would probably work in this case.

Southern Lone Blade was about to decide what to do when his eyes involuntarily widened. Flame Singed Clothes, the Thief Blackwater, and the other Priest were equally surprised.

”What's the matter?” Glue was baffled.

”Why are they together?” Southern Lone Blade was still in shock.

”What's the matter?” Glue still could not make head or tails of the reason for their reaction.

”That guy with the Video Mage, is Eternal Dominion,” Flame Singed Clothes stated. Back in Luori City, Southern Lone Blade, Flame Singed Clothes, Blackwater, and that Priest had seen Eternal Dominion. By that time, Glue and the other three men from their squad had already died, so the three of them did not recognize him.

”Why would Eternal Dominion be together with him!?” Glue was shocked as well. Eternal Dominion's name was a symbol of invincibility in Luori City, and this rep had even made its way to Linshui City.

To take on twenty all by himself, to think such a frightening entity existed! Now that Gu Fei was actually accompanied by such a powerful individual, it was clear that neither plan A, nor B, much less C, would work! To think the three plans that they had carefully crafted would all be useless, was all due to the fact that Gu Fei had found himself someone they had not expected.

”How did they even get together like this? Weren't they fighting head to head a few days ago?” Flame Singed Clothes could not make sense of anything!

”Did a friendship blossom from the heat of battle?” someone suggested.

”What's the point of asking all these useless question at this point? How are we taking them on?” Blackwater turned to Southern Lone Blade for the answer.

Southern Lone Blade was trying to come up with a new plan the moment he identified Eternal Dominion as the man next to their target. His mind was currently running like a CPU right now…

On the other side, Eternal Dominion had immediately exclaimed when he saw the beach the moment he saw the beach in Linshui City. ”I finally get to see this for myself, after hearing so much about it!”

”They do barbequed fish over there. It tastes pretty good,” Gu Fei was a repeat customer, so he gave a quick introduction to Eternal Dominion.

The two chatted while they walked, when they suddenly halted in their steps and looked at one another.

”You felt that?” Gu Fei knew what the look Eternal Dominion was giving him meant.

”I felt that,” Eternal Dominion agreed.

”Someone's really interested in us!” Gu Fei said, as they turned their heads in the direction they sensed people watching them.

”THEY'VE FOUND US!!!” Glue yelped.

”What?!” Southern Lone Blade, who was still trying to figure out a plan, was immediately surprised by the exclamation. He raised his head and sure enough, spotted both Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion looking straight at them, immediately turning into the moment when both parties' eyes met.

”How can this be…” The position these men had chosen was entirely inconspicuous, somewhere their presence should not have been immediately discovered. How could the two of them immediately discover where we are the moment they disembarked from the ship? These men simply could not make sense of it.

”Here they come!” Blackwater yelled, as Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion strode straight towards where they were seated.
