Chapter 846 - Defend Tenaciously (1/2)

Xu Yao’s words caused Happy to be stunned.

He did not even know what Xu Yao said later on. Once he hung up, he scowled and slowly placed his phone on the table. He took a shallow breath before he put his hands away. While his emotions surged, he sank into deep thought.

Xu Xin sat across Happy. She, too, put down her chopsticks and stared at him curiously.

Happy had acted strangely ever since he received Xu Yao’s call. His expression was stern and serious, but he also seemed to be immersed in some sort of complicated memory of the past.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xin asked tentatively.

“It’s nothing.” Happy shook his head while his thoughts were still a mess.

Xu Yao’s actions made him puzzled.

This woman betrayed him in his previous life, and at this time in his current life, it was the perfect chance for her to strike a blow at him and help his enemies in attacking him. Did she have a guilty conscience, or did she have an even deeper plot hiding behind her?

Once he sucked in a sharp breath, Happy suddenly remembered that Silver Wolf had helped him obtain some information that he never knew about his previous life.

And they were regarding Xu Yao’s family.

There were certain things that he did indeed not know in his previous life, such as where her house was and what her family background was like.

Xu Yao had never mentioned it in his previous life, and there were certain holidays where she will never leave the university. She will practically spend it all in the game.

But based on Silver Wolf’s understanding, Xu Yao’s family lacked the ability to do any sort of labor and could not bring food to the table as well. Xu Yao could only continue with her studies by working part time and by relying on the support from certain kind-hearted people.

Happy naturally understood the situation of her studies, but when it came to work, since Happy had always been together with Xu Yao, he was familiar with her daily life over three years, and it was impossible for her to have the chance of searching for work outside. Hence, by work, it might possibly mean working for Blood Robes and Class One Hall.

If that were the case, what was going on with Xu Yao speaking up to remind him that most of the people in the game were in danger right now?

Even when he faced the hot food on the table, Happy suddenly found himself having no appetite to eat.

“Xin, eat first. I’ll go into the game to take a look.”

Happy took a few bites, grabbed his phone, and with a somber expression, returned to his bedroom.

“Go to the highest point to the east. If you find anyone getting close, immediately fire a signal flare as a warning.

“You, go to the west. Search for the highest point there.”

When Happy returned to the game, night had already arrived, and Silver Wolf was arranging scouting tasks to various Mu Clan members.

While Happy moved over, he looked around.

There were a few torches scattered around the one-third of a mile from the camp. Those burning torches were spaced out and positioned in such a way that they coincidentally lit up the slopes of several high places, allowing the camp to see everything in the distance.

At the same time, a few squads dressed themselves in night-traveling clothes and entered deep into the plains in the distance.

It had to be said that Silver Wolf was much more experienced in this area compared to him.

Happy approved of this in his heart. At the very least, he will not be able to make such detailed arrangements in such a short amount of time, and definitely not, in succession, form two layers of sentry lines around the place where the army was stationed.

“Happy?” Silver Wolf noticed Happy from the crowd. He immediately gave a few more orders quickly and walked out of the crowd to him. “You’re back so soon?”

“I felt uneasy.”
