8th Sponsored Chapter! Thanks Evan B.!

“What is the matter? Who is the one causing trouble?” the tall, skinny man asked.

Liu Gan didn’t respond. Instead, the shop owner had to explain the situation again. It was relatively truthful. During this extra time, the two security guards recovered and started whining with tears flowing from their face about getting beaten by Liu Gan.

“I’m asking you! Are they speaking the truth? Did you beat them?” the tall skinny man pointed at Liu Gan.

The surrounding shop owners were just staring at Liu Gan and the tall-skinny player. This tall-skinny player was different from the other players; he was an Elder, a level 5 player. Liu Gan’s actions had been labeled as an offense. For these crimes, the retribution could range from whipping to prison sentence.

“What they said is the truth. I assaulted them. The main point was that I wanted to resolve the issue through discussion. Since we were getting nowhere with that method, I escalated the situation. I emphasize my point one more time, I want to rescue my friend so I will resort to any method possible,” Liu Gan answered indifferently.

“Do you know what is the punishment for assaulting the managing staff?” the Elder inquired. Now that Liu Gan had admitted for his crime, the following questions were protocol preset by the Elder Committee.

“I don’t know what the punishment is. I just care that someone snatched my friend and imprisoned her in the cage. I will definitely rescue her. I gave your side sufficient time and alternative methods to resolve the issue, but you weren’t able to do anything. So, I will use my own methods,” Liu Gan replied.

“Fine, seems like I don’t have any need to discuss this any further. Arrest him!” the Elder pointed at Liu Gan.

As an Elder in this village, no matter where they went, they were respected by the regular players. There was never an incident with a player using this rude tone speaking to them. Especially when the person speaking was a newcomer!

If it wasn’t for the Elder Leader’s rule that Elders could only strike when the opponent made the first move, this Elder player would’ve beat Liu Gan into a pulp. To bait Liu Gan into openly initiating an aggressive move, the tall Elder needed to provoke him.

Once the order was given, the other two nearby players dashed forward. With both their arms, they gripped onto Liu Gan. But could they really hold onto Liu Gan with their combined strength? Liu Gan easily threw them off.

“You dare to attack other players in front of me! How dare you commit a crime in front of me! Seems like I have to teach you a lesson myself!” the tall Elder shouted.

“Okay, I will see how you can teach me a lesson, then?” Liu Gan frowned.
