717 Chapter 717 - Working Together (2/2)

”Who's over there with you guys?” Sword Demon asked.

Gu Fei reported everyone's names.

”Call Royal and the others over as well… Oh wait, get them to grab the mission before they come out.” Sword Demon said.

”What mission are they getting?”

”Get a few more guild leaders, let's make this big!” Sword Demon decided.

”Fierce. Too fierce…” Gu Fei muttered to himself when he realized he was evidently the only good person here.

”Okay, here's the latest update on this matter. Sword Demon and the others have decided they will come over and give us a hand. We're also going to increase the scale of the plan, and we'll target the top five guilds altogether, wiping them all out!” Gu Fei announced.

”Top five? We can't grab Oathless Sword's mission, while I've had dealings with Colored Clouds' Gu Xiaoshang before, so I sincerely doubt she would fall for this ruse because her guild is more focused on enjoying themselves. They may have developed into one of the larger guilds here, but they do not have any intention of vying for the top spot,” Xi Xiaotian said.

”Then just the guild leaders from the four large guilds will do.”

”We don't have the mission for Oathless Sword!”

”Not having the quest does not mean we can't kill him…” Gu Fei dismissed.

Ruthless! Each one is more ruthless than the last! Now that Cirrus was a part of this group, he had slowly gotten a better understanding of the members, while Bashful Countenance stood by the sidelines staring at everyone, horrified.

”In that case, we can't randomly pick up a quest. We'll need to plan this out properly!” Xi Xiaotian said.

Thus, the guild Extremely Heaven Defying began to gather, prepared to officially carry out their first ever group exercise. Out of the three newly added ladies, two had expressed their wish to continue peacefully be the fill-ins they were that kept the guild afloat and stay in the city, while one had expressed her wish to come out and participate in this operation.

”Hello, Will-low!” Gu Fei greeted Will-low. She was considered to be someone that he had known for quite some time, but it was just that they barely kept in contact with each other, so he had not gone out of his way to greet her before when all the ladies were together with them.

”Mister guild leader,” Will-low had also used the same greeting that the ladies from Amethyst Rebirth had used on him before. 30% of it was for show, but a good 70% of doing so was just to tease him.

”You seem to have put on weight,” Gu Fei said.

”Oh? You can tell?” Will-low was a lady who was extremely skinny, so she actually felt gratified when she heard his comment.

”Yeah, I felt as if I can put you down to the ground with a single slap before, but now, it looks like I'll need two slaps before you would fall over,” Gu Fei mused.

This guy is really too violent… Bashful Countenance hid behind her cousin Brother Assist, quietly telling him that she wanted to quit the guild.

”There's nothing to be afraid of, these are all good people,” Brother Assist assured.

”Ahem. Will killing people during the City Wars result in them dropping their equipment after? We could still earn a bit of extra income if they do drop equipment. These are all guild leaders, so they would surely be worth a pretty penny,” Southern Lone Blade's occupational disease appeared.

”Since we're gonna go big, why don't we make this auction a real thing? We can kill them after we collect their money!” Xi Xiaotian was also excited now.

”Are you sure they are all good people?” Bashful Countenance asked her cousin.

Brother Assist could not explain this away, so he quickly stepped up and got into the mix. ”Let's focus on the mission.”

”You're all such a mess,” Gu Fei was angered as well.

”Don't get angry, boss. We were all just kidding around, haha!” Glue quickly explained.

”It's time to get serious; this is the City Wars event! When the time comes, we need to kill as many people as possible!” Gu Fei barked.

Bashful Countenance tugged at her cousin, not willing to let go. She was very insistent.

”Let's all just talk about the mission, alright? Please,” Brother Assist was almost about to cry as he tried to appease Bashful Countenance. ”Okay, stop with this nonsense, cousin. Wait till later even if you want to quit. There are only 20 members in the guild now. Won't the guild end up disbanding thanks to your departure?”

The kind-hearted cousin was finally convinced by this reasoning, while she continued to hide behind her cousin.

”I suggest that we come up with a name for this exercise. Shall we call it Operation Decapitation? We are taking the heads off of all the leaders from the large guilds!” Fireball was getting invigorated. He enjoyed being a part of this sort of flashy things.

”Ahem. Okay, time to discuss the business at hand!” Being the guild leader, Sword Demon finally spoke up, and this rag-tag group of players from all backgrounds gave Sword Demon face. Seeing that he was about to speak, all of them became quiet.

”We've got four guild leaders right now. Oathless Sword, Brave Surge, Foe-herder, and Black Index Finger. Does everyone here know who they are?”

”Yes! How coincidental! Do all guild leaders have to have four characters in their names? Look at my ex-guild, Sakurazaka Moony, hehe. Though that's not the case anymore. Boss Sword Demon only has two characters to his name, though now that Drunk bro is a guild leader, and he has a four character name too. Strange, why do you guys all like having names with four characters?” Fireball had strayed further and further away from the topic the more he spoke. Everyone was giving him the side-eye.

”Do you have any qualifications to talk about names?” Gu Fei asked.

Fireball froze, sweating. His biggest failure in this game was his name.

”Can you guys stop interrupting?” Sword Demon wiped his sweat. Leading this guild was hard work.

Everyone quietly expressed their decision to give him the floor once more.

”Because our targets are all prominent figures, we cannot treat any of them like they are just any other player. Our goal is to kill them in a single attack, insta-killing them the moment we act. Now, let us take a look at the information that we've collected on these people.” Sword Demon gestured, as Brother Assist happily took out his notebook filled with all the stats and information. Everyone came forward and surrounded him, and Brother Assist felt what it was like to be hit on the head.

Xi Xiaotian took a look at the information and quickly pointed out, ”Brother Assist, have you not updated your information? This, this and that one there. These three pieces of equipment from Oathless Sword have long been replaced.”

”Is that so?” Brother Assist blinked.

”It's the same for Brave Surge as well. He hasn't used these two pieces of equipment for a very long time. Look, this is the equipment that he has now,” Xi Xiaotian pulled out her own notes and showed him.

”Is that so?” Brother Assist quickly took it in his hands, and began poring over it thirstily.

”How about Foe-herder and Black Index Finger's equipment?” Brother Assist continued to ask.

”I don't have any information on those two,” Xi Xiaotian shook her head.

”It's been so long since I returned to Yunduan City, so even the information I've gathered is dated,” Brother Assist expressed his remorse.

”It's going to be quite troublesome if we don't have a good idea of what equipment they have,” Slyris mentioned.

”It's not troublesome at all. Sword Demon and I can each insta-kill those two. We've got plenty of people in on this operation now. The two of us can surreptitiously blend in among the people,” Gu Fei said.

”It's still more than a little obvious if a Mage was found keeping his or her face covered,” Slyris reminded.

”All four of these guild leaders could recognize you, right?” Everyone glanced at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was crestfallen. Do I really have to stay on the sidelines and fart in the wind while engaged in this all-important Operation Decapitation?

”Actually, if you were to put on some serious make-up, people might not easily identify you immediately,” Luo Luo suddenly quipped.

”Our guild's Miss May is a professional make-up artist. If we call her to help you, she could at least make it such that people would not be able to easily recognize you without close scrutiny. By that time, all you need to do is stand among some people, change out your equipment, keep your face uncovered, I reckon there's no way that anyone would take note of you. You just might be able to blend in like that!” Luo Luo said.

”Miss May? Who's Miss May?” Gu Fei sifted through his memories to recall how she looked.

”May's Bloom. How many of the ladies have you even met in the guild?” Luo Luo derided him.

”May, June, July… Why are there so many ladies in the guild with months in their name?” Gu Fei was surprised.

”Who are you calling ladies in confinement!?” The ladies present were all riled.
