533 Chapter 533 - The Disappearing Act of Cool Apple (2/2)

Clear at a glance, yet the three failed to make the necessary inference. They were momentarily left at a loss for words, because no one was willing to accept the validity of Young Master Han's disdain. After a moment's silence, Royal God Call changed the topic. ”But he ended up getting slain by Sword Demon. He sure lives up to his name as Sword Demon!” Royal God Call praised.

”That's nothing but the illusion you guys saw,” Young Master Han remarked.

”What?” The three were now confused.

”He's not dead,” Young Master Han said.

”What? How can that be? I saw him disappear in a flash of white light!” Royal God Call exclaimed.

”Is a flash of white light a guarantee of death?” Royal God Call was still unable to escape the fate of being scorned. However, with a quick thought, he promptly realized what it meant. Disappearing in a flash of white light did not equate to death; they used the same trick before as well!

”Windchaser's Emblem!” Brother Assist already shouted this out.

”That's right.” Young Master Han continued with great surety. ”Cool Apple is someone who has accumulated over 1600 PK points. Even if Miles deduced that the man didn't achieve the next level of the emblem, that doesn't mean that he did not obtain the basic emblem itself!”

”So, he completed a 'Bounty Mission' before, and when he realized that he couldn't defeat Sword Demon, he utilized the teleportation function of the item to make his escape,” Royal God Call said.

”Perhaps this wasn't a method he specifically used to deal with Sword Demon but a habit of his, instead. With such an item that grants this ability, he always makes sure that he has a completed 'Bounty Mission' first, so the moment he comes across any sort of danger, the man can immediately use it to flee,” Brother Assist said.

”That makes sense!” War Without Wounds nodded. ”PKing over 1600 times and not even losing once will be an extremely indomitable feat, but it turns out that there's such a reason behind it.”

Brother Assist nodded. ”His actual counts of PK attempts might be even higher than that. It's just that whenever he failed, he would use his emblem to teleport and escape, so even though he lost the fight, his level would remain unaffected.”

”Using the emblem in such a manner really isn't too bad… I should get myself one.” War Without Wounds was tempted.

”I… Can I get it again…” Royal God Call was a little depressed. He had previously gotten himself a Windchaser's Emblem, but he had sold it to Svelte Dancer. Given how the system would calculate such stats when it came to quests and missions, everyone would have a record of their own. Royal God Call had no idea if they would still be calculated if he continued to do a hundred or two hundred more.

Brother Assist patted Royal God Call consolingly, but the former was apparently not that bothered by it as he quickly turned to Young Master Han. ”So, you actually came to such a place when you left us earlier because you've already determined that he'd make use of such a method to escape, and you are now waiting for him to leave the Bounty Assignment Hall?”

Young Master Han looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, 'But of course.'

”So, what is he doing right now?” the three men asked.

”If this is a habit for Cool Apple, he's bound to pick up a 'Bounty Mission' and complete it to prepare this teleportation method once more,” Brother Assist guessed.

”Wait a minute. If this is his habit, why did he die at the hands of Miles that time?” Royal God Call asked.

”Miles? The Thief was insta-killed with a slash of Miles' sword when they clashed. If even a Priest like me couldn't Heal him up at all, how else would he be able to teleport?” Young Master Han retorted.

”Where's Cool Apple?” Royal God Call changed the topic once again.

”You won't understand even if I give you the coordinates!” Young Master Han spat. ”The point is, we are about to eliminate this man before he completes this 'Bounty Mission' he just got.”

”Then, what are standing around here waiting for?!” Royal God Call leaped to his feet.

”Idiot! I, at least, need to see if his bounty target is in or out of the city. If he ends up running straight into the jungle, what's the point of us chasing after the man?” Young Master Han asked.

”So, is it inside or outside the city?” Royal God Call asked.

”I already said that we are going to eliminate the man, so of course he's in the city. Quick get your butts down on the street and get to work. All of you!” Young Master Han barked this order at the three.

”Brother Assist, you're with Royal. Wounds will be alone. Move according to the positions I relay to you, find a street to conduct a pincer movement,” Young Master Han said.

Royal God Call would always feel extremely ashamed during such times as he would have to follow a nanny due to him having no sense of direction. Actually, he had been working hard at getting better, but his improvement was miniscule. He did not dare to be too obstinate at this point, either, for it could really spoil things. The three nodded in agreement and each went in two different directions, following the coordinates Young Master Han had directed them in order to capture Cool Apple.
