404 Chapter 404 - Casually Strike a Pose (1/2)

Southern Lone Blade was quite shocked.

Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion had actually walked directly towards where they were positioned, which was quite the unusual move on their part.

Even though Southern Lone Blade had been planning to make off with Gu Fei's dropped equipment for the longest time, his intention to do so had never been made known, so there was no reason Gu Fei should be aware that they harbored ill intent towards them.

So just what was his purpose in striding over towards them like this? If he was attempting to avenge his friends, why were they not with him? There was no way he was simply passing by randomly and the thought to take revenge popped up when he spotted them, right? Southern Lone Blade thought this was a possibility, but of course he would have never expected Gu Fei to come looking for him on business.

”And you said he was difficult to locate. This was a piece of cake!” Eternal Dominion lauded as he walked over.

”That's what I'm telling you, there's plenty of future in this job!” Gu Fei said.

The guess that Brother Assist and the rest came up with was correct; the seven players in Southern Lone Blade's squad were all once in the ranks of the Ten Great Adepts, but they had all lost their placing the moment they lost their lives on their trip to Luori City.

Each of the seven players were all in the same predicament, having lost a level each after their trip. But these men were still confident in themselves when it came to their own skills, otherwise they would not have calmly continued to come up with a plan to take on the experts from Young Master's Elites. However, they were all caught off guard and their trains of thought were disrupted the moment they saw Eternal Dominion in Gu Fei's company.

They no longer had time to conceive of an intricate plan, so Southern Lone Blade could only make eye contact with the other six men and convey accordingly, ”Ignore Eternal Dominion and concentrate your attacks on the Video Mage.”

The six men nodded.

Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion came closer to them. Even though the seven men remained seated, Glue had already drawn his bow out in preparation while Flame Singed Clothes had begun to recite the first spell incantation he would be using silently.

”Don't do anything first!” When Southern Lone Blade saw the two ranged players with them looked to be ready to deal the first strike, his hand quickly shot out to stop them and drew their attention over with his eyes.

Everybody followed his gaze, and saw the men taking care of the bar coming forward to greet the two men.

”What are you two gentlemen looking to order?”

”Oh. that's right!” Gu Fei suddenly remembered something. ”Don't this beach here restrict players from PvPing?”

The color drained from the barkeep's face and his expression hardened the moment he heard what the two were saying. ”What business do the two gentlemen have with the establishment?”

”Why can't we engage in PvP here?” Eternal Dominion asked, unprompted.

”Because that would affect their business,” Gu Fei replied.

”That's right!” When the barkeep heard Gu Fei say this, he felt he must be the more sensible of the two, and his expression immediately softened quite a bit. ”So if you are looking to fight, we hope that you two gentlemen could change the location of your battle.”

At this point, Southern Lone Blade no longer had any intention of escaping as he flashed a smirk, leering at Gu Fei provokingly.

Naturally, this was not done without reason. He had just suddenly realized that even though it would be hasty to act here, there were benefits if a fight really went down in this place. At the very least, the seven of them would not appear to be the antagonizers, while the two troublemakers Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion would subsequently suffer the combined wrath of the various large guilds of Linshui City hunting them down.

Southern Lone Blade would obviously embrace such a chaotic scene unfolding. He loved being the fish in murky waters in such scenarios; it was precisely what his intended plan of approach had been back when he set forth for Luori City. He did not expect to come round full circle and find himself in a similar situation after his failure back then, this time in his home ground of Linshui City!

Southern Lone Blade did not want to miss this opportunity, so he held his scornful gaze on Gu Fei in an attempt to provoke the man with that smirk. Southern Lone Blade thought to himself, Someone whose PK Value would easily skyrocket to the tens is bound to be hot-headed, so he is sure to strike recklessly.

In that case, even if the seven of them did not retaliate, the men from the various guilds were sure to act on their behalf. Even though they might be no match for the two experts, it would nevertheless create that chaotic scene he yearned for. Better yet, Gu Fei was sure to gain more PK points as a result of the battle! PK Value was something any professional larcenist loved, for it helped increase their chances of getting their hands on the target's strongest equipment!

Southern Lone Blade thought about how wondrous that would be, so he continued to increase his provoking gaze. He saw Eternal Dominion point at him and say, ”That's Southern Lone Blade.”

”I know,” Gu Fei nodded.

”He's looking at you with disdain,” Eternal Dominion noticed.

Gu Fei chuckled, ”He's about to die soon, I'm not bothered by him acting arrogant for a while…”

Southern Lone Blade felt a wave of sadness overcome him. But it was not because of Gu Fei's disrespect. It was because he now realized that attempting to goad this man into action would be useless, since he did not care for such trivial matters at all. As such, the chaotic scenario that he hoped would come about was not to be, in the end.

But he soon heard Gu Fei speak to the three men tending the open air bar, ”Gentlemen, I guarantee we will settle our business so immaculately that it will be no trouble to your establishment.”
