Chapter 620: Planning (1/2)

...

Owen stared for a moment, trying to find the words that he wanted to say. But no matter how many times he opened and closed his mouth, there seemed to be no words willing to come out from it.

In the end, he could only release a helpless sigh before explaining their situation. ”Remember those guys that you met in the VIP room during the Shadow Ranking Cup? Those b*st*rds managed to join a rising powerhouse in our kingdom and started being unreasonable.”

”First, they to invite Ithilien to join them but when she refused their invitation, those f*ckers started harassing her and her regular party. They also managed to get a decent standing in that guild which is why they got some support from them.”

”Ithilien and her team are not that weak. But given that the other side had a greater number of experts in their ranks, her team was suppressed too much to the point they disbanded.”

Reaching this point, Owen suddenly clenched his hands to show his anger before continuing. ”And the worst thing about those f*ckers is they don't stop in their harassment and up until now. They pressured her too much to the point she could no longer properly play the game.”

”If I didn't get wind of that news, then she most likely has quit the game already,” he added while gritting his teeth.

Shin turned silent for a few moments before asking. ”So, what's the deal with that Underground Duel or something?”

”About that-…” Owen briefly paused and looked at Ithilien before continuing. ”Those guys want her to hand over a special item that Ithilien and her party get from a particular quest. But since she doesn't want to give it to them, those f*ckers started harassing her even more alongside the other members of that guild.”

”And since I got frustrated at them, I started hunting some of the elite groups of that particular guild to the point they had no other choice but to request a ceasefire for the time being.”

Owen smirked a little when he reached that point which made Charlotte think to herself. 'It seems like this guy is also a madman.'

In the meantime, Ithilien continued what Owen was saying earlier. ”But that agreement didn't last long since the guild learned what kind of item I am holding. I'm not sure but it seems like this item can let someone have a Race and Class Conversion.”

Hearing that, Shin couldn't help but knit his brow a little before saying. ”And how did those guys know that you have that item anyway?”

”About that-…” Ithilien paused for a moment as if she was thinking about something before continuing. ”My team worked with them to complete a quest and that is where we got that special item. We don't know what kind of items are those during that time which is why we divide the pieces among our teams; one is left to me while the other half is given to them.”

”I see,” muttered Shin with a soft voice before falling into deep thought. And after a few moments, he turned his head at the two and asked. ”So, that is why those guys propose a betting duel, am I right?”

Seeing them nodding their heads, Shin stood up from his seat and stretched his waist while saying. ”Then that also means you are going against the experts of that particular guild. Now, I can no longer let you have all the fun, can't I?”

”So, how many members do you need for that duel?” he asked while looking at Owen.

Owen hesitated for a few moments before replying. ”Those guys said that we need to find at least 7 members before the time they set for the duel. And it is within a week from now, in-game time of course.”

”Seven members, huh? Alright, I leave it to me and just focus on the current quest that you have,” said Shin while patting Owen's shoulders.

”You understand what I mean, am I right?” he added while giving Owen a meaningful look.

Seeing that, Owen could only shake his head bitterly before smiling at Shin while saying. ”Then I will entrust you with it.”

After that, he looked at Ithilien before sending her a few private messages to tell her a few more things that he knew about Shin excluding the fact that he had two identities. After all, Shin added Owen as a friend with his real in-game name which was why he knew how strong Shin really was.
