Chapter 678: The Battle God Sickarius (1/2)

...

”Are you sure about this Chairman?” asked Yasmin Cortez, the head of the PR Team of the World Gaming Organization. She was quite confused about the chairman's decision.

”Isn't it going to be a little unfair to the other Godlike Players?” she asked to make sure that she didn't hear wrong.

Unfortunately, there was nothing wrong with her hearing as the chairman suddenly sneered. ”If they are unsatisfied with it, then just ask them if they can also defeat Immortal three times or win against Justin in a deathmatch battle.”

Yasmin was suddenly dumbstruck when she heard those words. After all, there were only a very few numbers of players who would dare to claim that they could also do such an incredible feat.

Unable to find any words to refute, Yasmin couldn't do anything but comply with the chairman's words. ”I will immediately make the announcement on the game's official website, Sir!”

When Yasmin left the office, the chairman quickly asked the AI of his room to turn off the lights before asking. ”What is next on our schedule, Chronos?”

[We are scheduled to observe the Top Miracle Player right now, the Martial God 'Ashurai'. He is currently in…]

In the meantime, Shin was immediately sent out of the battle right after the match ended. But before he could even do his usual routine of reviewing his previous performance right after the match, he suddenly received a request for a direct message.

He took a quick glance at the system notification to see who was the person that was sending the request. But he immediately frowned his eyebrows the moment he saw the name of the person who was requesting the direct message.

Regardless, Shin still accepted the request to see what that person was trying to say. And right after he accepted the request, he immediately received a message from the latter.

Justin: Are you mocking me?

Seeing that message, Shin couldn't help but repeatedly shook his head while wearing a bitter smile before replying.

Sickarius: Don't misunderstand. If it is just me, then I will not spare your account, so that you will not be able to bother Cloe again.

Sickarius: You should thank her. Since she used to play with your team and your family is quite close to hers, she feels bad about your account being deleted.

Sickarius: But it doesn't mean that you can appear in front of her again. Because if you do, I will make sure that you regret that decision.

Justin read that series of messages with a solemn expression on his face. And even if he wanted to refute them, he couldn't find the right words to deny what Shin had said since he was clearly the loser of the previous match.

All he could do was endure the humiliation and bide his time. He then closed the message panel and clenched his fists. The expression on his face was very solemn right now because even though he still had his level and his personally created skills, everything else was taken from him.

All of his ongoing quests and all of his equipment were taken away from him. It also included everything that was within his inventory.

The more he thought about it the more frustrated he became. ”D*mn it! I will make sure that you will regret this decision in the future!”

In the meantime, the members of his team were currently waiting for his orders. And based on the auras that they were currently emitting, it was pretty clear that each of them was eager to fight.

The group stayed silent for quite some time since they all knew that their commanders were currently in a very bad mood. But after a long time of waiting, Jugo finally ran out of patience and suddenly asked. ”Are we still not going to make our move? I can't wait to teach those guys a lesson!”

”Yeah~! I am also quite eager to see how strong these so-called Empyrean Talons that the Dragon God and War God have created for that girl to choose them over us,” said another member of the group.

Unfortunately, the response that they got was not something that they were expecting. ”Start packing up. We are going back.”

Huh!?

Everyone immediately turned their heads at their commander with an astounded look on their faces. In fact, they were thinking that they had heard him wrong.

Understanding what they were thinking, Justin quickly glared at them before saying. ”You guys know that I don't like repeating myself, do you?”

Seeing the current look on his face, the other members understood that their commander was about to erupt at any given moment. And even though he was currently not wearing any decent equipment, they could still feel the immense threat that was coming from his body.

'D*mn it! Just how did that guy manage to defeat a monster like our commander?' thought Jugo to himself as he remembered what happened in the match earlier.

On the other hand, Elise suddenly pouted her mouth a little before asking. ”Then how about our preparations? Are we really scrapping everything just like that?”

”Didn't you hear the orders given to us? He said to start packing up, so it basically means to forget about our plans. Is it really hard to understand?” said the Dark Elf Master Archer of the group with a skeptical tone.

Hearing that, Elise suddenly threw a sharp glare in the direction where that Dark Elf was standing before saying sharply. ”Are you trying to pick a fight with me, Miriam?”

”Heh! Would you dare to accept it, if I am?” asked the Archer named Miriam.

”That's enough!” shouted Justin when he saw them about to start a fight. He shifted his sharp gaze between the two of them. ”You two can fight to your hearts' content when we are back to our hideout. But for now, we are going to retreat and prepare our next move.”

”We are accepting the offer from those people,” he added while turning his head to Jugo. ”Go visit those guys later and tell them that we are cooperating with them.”
