Chapter 112 - Boris Troubles (2/2)
Merlin: ”I am thinking of putting this in the forums. ???? Hee Hee Hee”
(He also added a maniacal laughter to his post.)
Merlin: ”Hoping to show that though Foedex Rex guys want to screw others, they somehow helped all the players.”
King Rex: ”How does this show that? The video shows none of the other players in it.”
Nix Maester: ”I concur. Merlin bro, you need better footage for that.”
Merlin: ”Of course, I got better footage bro. I was just giving some face to Boris by holding my peeps from posting it. He fell all over the ground in it trying to crawl away.”
Though Merlin didn't have it, he told others that he had so that he could put some pressure on Foedus Rex. There were some rules for the chat group and making such blatant lies would be cause to be banned for a few days, but only if someone could prove it. So, Merlin didn't really care about it.
Nix Maester: ”More footage! What are you waiting for? I hope it is better than this.”
Nix Maester: ”Do have any fights between Boris and Shadow.”
Boris Blade: ”How would there be? We hadn't even fought yet. Would I be there if Shadow had responded to me or didn't avoid me.”
Nix Maester: ”Ah! He finally talks.”
Red Dagger: ”Aiiyyaa! Did he accept that he was stalking a newbee?”
Clear Sky: ”He definitely did.”
Red Path: ”A veteran stalking a newbee. Boris brother, you need to maintain your image.”
Nix Maester: ”Boris! Stalking a guy! I never you knew that you swung that way!!!!!!”
Red Dagger: ”!!!!”
Red Path: ”!!!!”
Clear Sky: ”!!!!”
Dead Sea: ”!!!!”
Captain RoundTree: ”Brother Boris. We are close knit community. It isn't an easy task to come out of the closet. Allow me to welcome you to our group.
Nix Maester: ”!!!!! Congrats! Brother Boris. Looks like RoundTree is interested in you.”
Boris Blade: ”Stop talking nonsense. I wasn't stalking him. Do you see him anywhere in the video?”
Merlin: ”Of course, not. That would be impossible as he was taking your video after we noticed you.”
Oceanis (Administrator): Really!? He took that video?
Merlin: ”No. He took the one that I didn't put on yet. Thinking of updating it directly in the forums.”
Red Dagger: ”!!!!”
Red Path: ”!!!!”
Clear Sky: ”!!!!”
Dead Sea: ”!!!!”

Nix Maester: ”I bet Boris wishes that he had been the one stalking Shadow and not the other way round. Ha haha ???? ”
Dusk Sabre: ”It looks like Boris had lost his edge.”
Clear Sky: ”Wow! If he was able to sneak behind Boris, he might be a good fit for the group.”
While the others were commenting on Boris and Shadow, King Rex was having a group video call with Boris and the others on the side. Rex had never thought that Boris would end up in such a situation nor did he think that after challenging Shadow in the forums, he would try to track him.
These still weren't something that he considered to be of much consequence. the only thing that he felt uneasy about was the video that Merlin had talked about. There were two members in this group call that were at the White Heart City, Boris Blade and Big Blaster who were both star players in the guild.
”What were you thinking doing something so stupid? Why did you go after him? You just had to wait till he responded to your challenge? It was totally unnecessary. Merlin already sent me the video. If he puts it in forums, you will be a joke,” shouted King Rex at them both. He even considered Blaster responsible as he was Boris' teammate and should have advised him not to run after Shadow or at least let the others know about it.
”Merlin was playing his tricks as usual,” said Tristar He was one of the founders of the guild and was one of its oldest members who was close to retiring. If not for the somnium tech which allowed even the old to play well, he would have already retired.
”I was very suspicious about the was Sultan left. Most probably, it was Merlin who asked Sultan to insult Boris before he left. Though it serves to cut ties with Boris, it also was sure to agitate him,” he said shaking his head as he looked at Boris. ”You were played by him.”
Unexpectedly, Merlin was getting a lot of credit for things that he hadn't done. He had a reputation of doing things by crook, which led to this misconception by them.
