Chapter 134 Finally Found You (1/2)
The vast majority of players were still busy with missions, but players in teams—essentially serious guilds or professional players—were more purposeful in their actions. They planned their developmental pathway carefully and worked steadily to advance.
But the Guild of Gods was in an awkward situation. Jupiter had dumped all the daily administrative work to the Vice President. He could not give up on the A-level mission. He had been leading a group of people to search high and low for Germinal's bases but to no avail. Without any other means, he could only focus on the forum to see if any players were in contact with Germinal.
Despite all odds, Jupiter managed to find a lead.
”Andrea Mainland is Germinal's base camp. Any player who arrives on Andrea Mainland can join Germinal's side easily.”
But this lead was useless for Jupiter.
The core members of the A-level mission were all in Southern Continent, and Zero was more likely to be in Southern Continent too. However, Jupiter could not possibly bring a team over to Andrea Mainland. Most importantly, they had no access to another mainland.
In fact, they could actually take cruise ships or aircrafts, but none of the players had reached this level.
The most popular post on the forum was the battle scene recorded by the players at Big Horn Village. Jupiter had not seen it before, but he was finally opening it to take a look. He was caught off guard by shock. Just as he was about to close the post, he suddenly had an outlandish thought. He paused the video and scrutinized the scene. He finally concluded that the troop that was attacked had the Germinal Organization's emblem on them.
He had finally found the organization!
Jupiter almost burst into tears before it occurred to him that the troop had been destroyed. His face changed suddenly. He quickly read through the content of the post, but unfortunately, the user did not elaborate on the details.
Jupiter was eager to find out what had happened, so he had members contact the players in Big Horn Village.
The guild was so efficient that he soon got to know that the troop that had been attacked was in fact an evacuating Germinal Organization unit. He was dumbfounded.
”Evacuate? Why are they evacuating? Where are they evacuating from? What is the scale of this evacuation—a single unit or a full battalion?”
Jupiter gulped nervously. He had an ominous feeling in his gut… Seems like we won't be returning to the Germinal Organization any time soon.
This A-level mission was such a scam. Jupiter was so frustrated. Before the team could start on the mission, the organization that had issued the mission had run away.
…
In the evening, the setting sun covered the earth in a blood red glow. The outlines the moons were looming in the twilight sky.
In the woods outside Big Horn Village, Frenzied Sword was walking down the path, downcast in despondence.
”I must find him.” Frenzied Sword quickly broke away from his despondent mood and was talking to himself to boost his own spirits.
”Are you looking for me?” A voice came from ahead.
Frenzied Sword looked up. A truck was parked a few meters ahead with a man in black standing by it, staring at him intensely.
Black Phantom!
Frenzied Sword was ecstatic with excitement.
Every cloud had a silver lining!
”You, you… Have we met?” He could not be certain that Black Phantom was in fact Han Xiao. With much worry and fear, he felt like he was almost waiting for a verdict after he had asked the question.
Han Xiao smiled, revealing a tinge of amusement in his eyes. ”What do you think?”
That familiar look! The look that made his hair stand on end!
Frenzied Sword was seized by joy; he was certain that this person was Han Xiao!
I'm so glad that I didn't give up, and I finally found you! Oh, Savior!
”Come with me.” With a faint smile on his face, Han Xiao gestured toward his truck with his head. Trying his best to conceal his excitement, Frenzied Sword followed closely behind and got into the truck.
He did not care where Han Xiao was taking him as long as he could stay with Han Xiao…
Han Xiao smiled to himself. After spending some happy days together, he remembered Frenzied Sword well. But this was not the reason he chose to bring Frenzied Sword along. Frenzied Sword had great potential, and he was worth grooming.
In addition, having a player by his side meant he could send him to check out unknown and dangerous areas. Frenzied Sword would not die anyway, so he could be assured and use him well.
Han Xiao could use Frenzied Sword's help in his next moves, so when he found that Frenzied Sword was following him, he stopped to wait for him.
