557 Chapter 557 - A Chance not to Be Missed (2/2)

”All right,” Silver Moon acknowledged, running off to the mailbox to send the additional 500 gold coins the group requested. He did not wish for Ye Xiaowu to know what sort of transaction this really was, which was why he paid the deposit out of his pocket. Everything would be settled once he got the bulk sum from Ye Xiaowu later. Even if the man refused to let the money go through him, at most he'd just ask Southern Lone Blade and his team to take it on his behalf and then transfer it over to him. He had quite the faith in Southern Lone Blade's gang at the very least.

”Also…” Silver Moon continued to message Ye Xiaowu even as he made his way to the mailbox. ”I received word that Thousand Miles Drunk is now in Baishi City.”

”I know that,” Ye Xiaowu replied.

”Now that he's all alone… Don't you think this would be a good chance to strike?” Silver Moon was a vicious viper. Southern Lone Blade and his team were busy with their task over there, so he hoped to maneuver Ye Xiaowu into participating as well by taking advantage of the situation, killing that detestable Mage with a borrowed knife.

”The opportunity isn't ripe yet. It'll be tough taking on Thousand Miles Drunk head on like this even if he is alone,” Ye Xiaowu rejected.

”Our manpower might not be enough, but I did hear that he has past altercations with some people over there. Look; at this rate, it'll be as good as us gaining a few more helpers,” Silver Moon offered.

”Oh? Who are these people?” Ye Xiaowu quickly inquired.

”I don't really know the details myself…” Silver Moon did not dare to drop the names of Southern Lone Blade and his team. He already had a general idea as to Ye Xiaowu's thought process and how he went about doing things. The moment he learned that there were others who would consider Gu Fei as an adversary, Ye Xiaowu would proceed to contact and recruit the players. If Silver Moon were to offer Southern Lone Blade's name right now, and if he were to make the trip over, there was a chance that once the two conversed, the matter of how he lied to Ye Xiaowu and hired people to target for another player's equipment would be exposed. At the same time, he would be violating the rules of agreement between him and Southern Lone Blade's gang about divulging information of his business. Silver Moon was entirely unwilling to sell out both sides like this.

”In that case… Old Broken happens to still be over there. I'll first let him do the necessary digging,” Ye Xiaowu said.

”It's a chance not to be missed! Perhaps, they happen to lack that bit of strength we can provide to annihilate Thousand Miles Drunk once and for all. Hesitating now might, instead, cause them to lose a level. By the time we recruit them over to our side, the power they possess will be so much weaker. Gathering a bunch of players that have yet to reach level 40 is a little…” Silver Moon's voice trailed off; he was taking a huge risk obfuscating the truth like this here, but it just so happened that the words he had said struck a raw nerve with Ye Xiaowu.

In order to rectify Gu Fei, he had wasted much effort in formulating a plan. It took a lot out of him to finally gather these players together, and none of them were able to take on the opposing mercenary group. All they had done thus far was exchange a few blows with Gu Fei and Sword Demon, and that alone had already left them licking their wounds. Cool Apple was already no longer at level 40, and Broken Water Arrow only managed to escape without losing his level after being shown mercy. What Silver Moon had said was not entirely illogical; how could a bunch of players that did not even make it to level 40 fight against their enemy right now?

”Let's head over for now. We can learn about the situation over there as we wait for an opportunity to strike; won't that be the more prudent choice?” Silver Moon continued to coax Ye Xiaowu.

”What you said makes sense.” Ye Xiaowu finally agreed.

”I'll go and get No Smile,” Silver Moon hurriedly sent a message over to No Smile. ”Bro, Thousand Miles Drunk is alone in Baishi City right now. The time for our revenge is upon us.”

”Alone? Just with the few of us?” No Smile was astonished.

”No, there will be more! Just hurry on over here!” Silver Moon replied.

Even though No Smile did not completely trust Silver Moon, he at least knew that the latter was not the sort to put himself in danger. Seeing how confident the man was, there was a good chance that there was indeed a good show in stored for them, so he rushed over at the first chance.

When the three men met, Silver Moon looked to his left and right before wondering, ”Isn't there another player by the name of Cool Apple?”

”He's not coming.” Ye Xiaowu sighed.

”Why is that?” Silver Moon asked.

”He like one-versus-one duels,” Ye Xiaowu helplessly answered.

”F*ck! What year is this; why is he still so hung up on duels?” Silver Moon had nothing but contempt, for he loved using his numbers to bully the few.

”Time to teleport,” Ye Xiaowu took out a Teleportation Scroll. Silver Moon did not bother to question him about his claim before about owning just a single scroll. The man had wealth and means; how difficult would it be for him to get his hands on another Teleportation Scroll?

White light flashed, and the teleportation was completed. Silver Moon quickly had a change of his equipment, even going as far as to keep his face covered. He had not forgotten that a whole lot of people here in Baishi City wanted his head on a stick!

”Is Old Broken coming?” Silver Moon had not met Broken Water Arrow before, but the way he spoke of this name held a sense of familiarity, as if they were not strangers to each other at all.

”I've informed him,” Ye Xiaowu replied. ”Where's Thousand Miles Drunk right now?”

”Let me find out,” Silver Moon said.
