1761 Don’t Be So Shameless (1/2)

This wasn't the first time Glory Capital was attacking Ruling Sword's Stronghold. In fact, it would be odd if they weren't challenging Lu Li for the Strongholds.

They were a club that had been established for just a year, yet they held two Strongholds in prime locations. As the overlords of the gaming circle, they couldn't just let Ruling Sword continue developing.

There were some things that just didn't make sense, like why the antagonist of a movie would always wait until the protagonist grew strong before facing them.

However, Ruling Sword could unequivocally say that no one had allowed them to freely develop.

Every inch of ground they had taken was the result of blood, sweat and tears.

Before the establishing the guild, they were constantly being targeted by the Imperial Secret Service. Immediately after they had established a guild, they provoked a gaming circle giant – the Gangnam Royals. They had fought a number of guild wars as they had been hindered by other guilds too.

”I don't think things are that simple!” Wandering said as he found Lu Li. He had a serious expression on his face.

Wandering rarely had such a serious expression. He spent most of his time lazing around, but he was actually a really smart guy that people listened to when he opened his mouth.

”Why do you say that? What did you find out?” Lu Li asked, clearly puzzled.

”With Eternal Kingdom's strength, how ambitious would they have to be to think they are capable of taking our Stronghold. Do they just have money to burn or something?” Wandering didn't believe that Eternal Kingdom would sabotage themselves like this.

”Do you mean there is some sort of trick?” Lu Li was still confused.

”Something is definitely happening – it's just a question of what,” Wandering said adamantly. He had a very keen ability to notice things about the human condition.

”Then I will gather everyone to study it.”

Lu Li quickly invited some people to have this discussion. They didn't have any real information on hand, but he invited the club members and members of the First Clear team.

Of course, Lu Li wasn't going to take this matter out of this circle. Even if Ruling Sword was a relatively more cohesive guild, it didn't mean that there were no undercover players lurking among them.

Lu Li explained the situation and asked for the group's opinions.

”Does anyone else feel like there is some conspiracy happening here?”

”Maybe Eternal Kingdom just needs to take a Stronghold to satisfy their investors. As for why they chose us, I don't know,” Cat Dad said. And that was the main problem – no one could think of why they would choose Ruling Sword.

These were Strongholds that even Glory Capital couldn't take. Why would Eternal Kingdom even bother trying?

Everyone had now expressed their opinions. There were some that just thought it was a coincidence. Others thought that Eternal Kingdom had hired a group of masters that were strong enough to attack the Black Sea Coast Stronghold.

Lu Li listened to everyone's opinions and tried to recall some of the things that had happened his past life.

If he remembered correctly, Eternal Kingdom would eventually submit to Glory Capital and just join their alliance to further solidify their dominance in the Horde.

However, he just couldn't remember when Eternal Kingdom joined.
