555 Chapter 555 - A Major Inciden (1/2)
The four others had no idea what else to say, so all they could do was stand there mutely staring at Young Master Han as the man got up from his haphazardly done straw-bedding.
”If the target isn't Wounds, then who is it?” Young Master Han asked the four.
The four kept their mouths shut, not saying a word.
Young Master Han's gaze stalled on Royal God Call, and the Archer turned his head away, not daring to meet his eyes.
”Is this a conclusion you've come using a mortal's wisdom?” Brother Assist could not resist asking this.
”Using a mortal's wisdom?” Young Master Han showed a look of pained horror. ”I can't do that!”
The four bit their lower lips. The one to speak in the end was still Sword Demon. ”Let's head over to the spawn point. Let's just go offline for a bit. Parallel World's statuses will be cleared once we log off. Let's just forget about turning their trap on them.”
”Boss Sword Demon's idea is still the more reliable option,” the other three praised.
”Since you guys like that sort of method, I have no comments.” Young Master Han shrugged.
”Let's go, then!” The four men prepared to leave the jungle.
”Aren't you going?” Sword Demon realized that Young Master Han did not seem to be leaving with the others.
”The target can't be me,” Young Master Han said.
”Maybe the action our enemies have taken was very ordinary, and the target just might be you.” Brother Assist was still the expert when it came to smoothing things over.
”What you've said makes sense as well.” Young Master Han nodded. ”After all, it's not without reason for them to target me.”
”Oh, yeah? What's the reason?” Brother Assist asked, as he casually placed his hand over Young Master Han's shoulder.
”Jealousy of my looks,” Young Master Han stated matter-of-factly.
”Ha ha…” Brother Assist laughed dryly, his hand upon Young Master Han's shoulder stiffening.
”Let's go; let's go!” Royal God Call and War Without Wounds urged everyone to leave, and the five men left the jungle together. Over by Gu Fei's side, he was still clueless on what had just happened, so he kept pestering them for a recount, and Brother Assist eventually provided him a simple summary of today's event. The moment Gu Fei heard that he had not missed anything interesting but had actually avoided a disastrously dull session of waiting, he was beyond elated. It was at this moment when he received a new message. Pulling it open and reading its content, he saw that it was from Fireball – someone whom he had not been in contact with for a long time. ”Drunk bro, a major incident occurred!”
”What happened?” Gu Fei buzzed. The one thing he feared was a day of peace.
”Someone is plotting against us here in Baishi City!” Fireball explained.
”How exciting!” Gu Fei was envious. Why had no one come to plot against him even now? It was not every day that people came after him, yet all their new enemies did was attack his friends; it was just too disappointing.
”Quite a number of my bros got killed. If we're not mistaken, their target seems to be Lushness.” Fireball continued to say.
”Oh? Who are they?”
”We've got no clue. Their faces are all covered! A standard job-class team,” Fireball replied.
A standard job-class team was a technical jargon used in Parallel World referring to a party that consisted of all the job classes in the game, besides the Fighter. Even Gu Fei knew this.
”Baishi City, yes? I'll make my way over as soon as I can,” Gu Fei eagerly said.
”If you're too busy, you can just lend me your equipment. He he he!” Even though it was a message, Gu Fei could imagine that unpleasant smile of his. So that's the real intention of this guy. Does he want to borrow my equipment so he can show off a little?
”Hey! Is there really an issue or not?” Gu Fei was irate. There was a high chance that this twerp was just looking to borrow his equipment so that he could look good while chasing skirts!
”There's really an incident here. You can ask Moony or Lushness if you don't believe me. I'm just worried that you're busy on your end…” Fireball insisted.
”I'm not busy. I'll be there right away.” It was not that Gu Fei was stingy and feared loaning him his equipment; rather, he did not wish to miss out on being a part of a potentially exciting affair.
”Svelty…” After ending his conversation with Fireball, Gu Fei quickly sent a message over to Svelte Dancer.
”What?” Svelte Dancer's response betrayed a sense of vigilance.
”Do you still have Teleportation Scrolls?” Gu Fei asked.
”D*MM*T!” Svelte Dancer had come to know by now that it was never a good thing when Gu Fei contacted her, and she would usually end up paying for something as a result.
”Where are you now?” Gu Fei inquired, instead.
”Still in Linyin City,” Svelte Dancer replied. She, who had originally come to this city with Gu Fei and the rest, was still having fun here, so she was in no hurry to leave.
”How coincidental. So am I,” Gu Fei remarked.
”SCRAM!” Svelte Dancer rebuked.
”Lend me a scroll,” Gu Fei requested.
”What are you doing?” Svelte Dancer asked.
”I have friends over in Baishi City that got into some trouble. I'm heading over to help,” Gu Fei explained.
”I'm going, too,” Svelte Dancer hurriedly said. Anyone looking for Gu Fei's help would surely be something related to PK, and Svelte Dancer loved crashing such parties.
Gu Fei hesitated. If Svelte Dancer joined him, there was a good chance that she would snatch his kills, and that was not something Gu Fei looked forward to.
”Hmph. If not, I won't be giving you the scroll,” Svelte Dancer said this when Gu Fei failed to respond for a while. Baishi City and Linyin City were not neighboring regions, so it would take a substantial time to cover the distance even if Gu Fei could fly.
”Fine!” Gu Fei had no choice but to agree to a compromise. ”Where are you?”
