Chapter 230: Brother Don’t Cry (1/2)

”Where does Silent Killer go?”

One of his friends asked the question when he noticed that he rushed away.

”I saw him running towards the private room!” Said the other while pointing to the private section of the Citadel.

The private section was where most of the Ranker who wished to battle would go. It was a comfortable, secluded room with an auto-adjust air conditioning system to adjust the temperature based on the Ranker's body.

A Ranker who wishes to use it would have their body floating above the single size bed. The bed was a magic-based item. It came up with different kinds of reinforcements spells. One could only experience a comfortable feeling while on it.

Most of the Rankers who came to chill and loitered inside the Citadel would often use the private room whenever they received an unexpected challenge invitation or if they wanted to challenge someone they wished to fight.

”Could it be he received a challenge invitation?” The third person in Silent Killer's group of friends guessed.

”Perhaps, because I saw him grinning broadly,” replied the first person.

”Holy guys! The one you are looking for is there!” The second person in their group pointed to the monitor in front of them. In one of the many channels in it, they saw Silent Killer materialized in the middle of the forest.

”Fuck! Silent Killer's favorite place!”

”That guy will torture his opponent!”

The second and first person in their group exclaimed with a can't be helped expression on their faces.

”Damn, another easy win for him!” Said his friend with his palm on his face.

”That dude slipping in silent! Who could be his opponent this time?” Asked the third person.

They were noisily conversing while waiting for the opponent to show up.

Their wait for Silent Killer's opponent to show up didn't take long. But their eyes almost dropped on the floor when they saw who it was.

”HIIIIMMMMM??!” A loud voice reverberated in the Citadel when the person was so shocked to control his voice. It was coming from one of the Silent Killer's friends.

”Dammit! That Silent Killer is so lucky!” followed another member of them.

”Puwahahaha!” The third person failed to contain his laughter and burst out amid the crowd.

The others glanced at them, seemingly curious about what the fuss was all about.

Then they saw on the monitor 2 Rankers were about to face each other.

Weirdly though, the other one was so obvious a newbie! And wait! Most of them recognized him!

He was the newbie who fought with another newbie just recently.

Everybody gawked in disbelief after realizing who he was. Then murmurs of different kinds of gossip and unintended insults were fired at him. Though, the person himself had no idea what was happening at the moment inside the Citadel.

”How damn!”

”That newbie has so many guts!”

”Hahaha! He's one of a kind!”

”Pssshh! Let's pretend he's a level 100 Ranker!”

”Puwhaha! Nice comment you have there, brother!”

They were making fun of the newbie's gallant challenge against a higher level Ranker. Everyone could tell that the newbie was the one who issued the challenge.

Although many people inside the Citadel were making fun of the newbie, some of them were just riding the fun while some just didn't care about the commotion and were watching another match at the moment.

In the forest where Silent Killer found himself, a grin was uncontrolled on his face.

”Hehe, now let's wait for that idiot to pass by,” Silent Killer said after planting a hidden trap.

”This trap would be triggered when that person passed by…”

”...and when the trap was triggered, it would cause an explosion that will take his vision.”

”After his vision is rendered useless, that's when the fun stuff is going to happen. Hehehe!”

Silent Killer planned out his ambush. As someone like him, who was adept in ambushing his enemy, the forest was a better place.

But wait, why would he lay such a trap for a newbie enemy?

The answer was simple. Silent Killer knew that the enemy, although only a newbie, had extraordinary speed and strength!

In terms of equipment, no doubt his iron armor was more durable than his beginner's garb. Even his two daggers were better than his barehanded.

However, the fact that his enemy had an exceptional raw ability, was already a good reason for him to not take on him lightly.

His armor had burst his defense, and his weapon increased his attack power. But his raw strength wasn't as good as his enemy.
