1115 Thousand Waves Palaces Motive (1/2)

Making use of an undercover to plot against the opponent was a simple trick of beating somebody at their own game. After hanging around Fearless for such a long time, Wang Yu was naturally not unfamiliar with these.

Evidently, Thousand Waves Palace knew that there was an undercover from Mystery Pavilion in their own guild which was why they did what they did.

”Perhaps.”

After being pointed out by Wang Yu, Mystery Observer nodded depressingly. Mystery Observer would be extremely oblivious if he couldn't even tell that at this point in time.

Even so, Unfathomable Mystery commented, ”City Lord Iron Bull makes sense but I don't understand something. If they want to plot against us, they could have just given us the Black Decree from the start. Why did they bother running away with it?”

”You have to ask the party involved about this.” Wang Yu paused for a moment before shifting his gaze towards Five Flagtree.

When Five Flagtree noticed everyone looking at her, she was stunned as she hurriedly waved her hands, ”I… I don't know ah…”

”You don't know?” Mystery Observer didn't look pleased as he replied, ”How can you not know when you're from Thousand Waves Palace?”

”I…” Five Flagtree was surprised, ”When you guys had me surrounded, Boss simply gave me that and got the sisters to protect me all the way out… I'm not too sure about everything else too.”

When Wang Yu saw Five Flagtree's current expression, he didn't think that she was lying. Instead, he asked, ”So why did you head to Twilight City?”

”Back then, we were surrounded near the Sunset Valley and our Boss got us to run towards Twilight City. In order to prevent the Mystery Pavilion's players from taking the Black Decree, I passed it to you.”

”Ohh?”

Hearing Five Flagtree's words, Mystery Observer started scratching his chin as if deep in thoughts.

On the other hand, Wang Yu's heart sunk.

Damn it! The other party was clearly targeting Wang Yu if she got people to cross cities just to pass it over to him.

Unfathomable Mystery also managed to infer from this conversation as he asked, ”Could it be that the Thousand Waves Palace is targeting City Lord Iron Bull?”

”This does not make complete sense too!” Mystery Observer explained, ”Twilight City and Salat City are divided by a faction and there is not much interaction between the two main cities. So how did City Lord Iron Bull end up being a target of the Thousand Waves Palace?”

”No!” Wang Yu answered, ”There are definitely people from Thousand Waves Palace who know me. In fact, he knows me so well that he knows all about my habits so this is undoubtedly not without any planning.”

From how Five Flagtree explained, it seemed evident that Wang Yu was tricked into this challenge dungeon.

Sunset Valley was a high-level monster zone where ordinary players wouldn't wander around there for long. It might be suspicious for players from Twilight City to appear there but it made perfect sense if players from other main cities accidentally fought their way there.

Moreover, the other party must have predicted that Wang Yu wouldn't stand idle to watch Five Flagtree. In fact, he even predicted that Wang Yu would deliver the token all the way to Salat City. Evidently, this person must have interacted with Wang Yu before to know his character.

Additionally, Five Flagtree appeared right when Wang Yu was training. This proved that the other party understood Wang Yu's gaming tendency.

Besides all these, it felt as though Mystery Observer's last-minute intervention was also part of the other party's plan.

Everything from the very beginning, even the smallest details, seemed to have been planned by the other party.

After playing the game for such a long time, Wang Yu only knew of Fearless who could be this scheming and forward-thinking… Moreover, Fearless and Wang Yu had been hanging out with each other for such a long time so he was certainly extremely familiar with Wang Yu's character and habits.

It was simply too horrifying to even think about this possibility.

”No way… Could Fearless be that bored to try and trick me?”

At the thought of this, Wang Yu shook his head as he tossed this ridiculous idea out of his head.

After all, Wang Yu had immense trust in Fearless. Just like how Fearless knew Wang Yu, Wang Yu knew Fearless as well. Fearless will not benefit from doing anything like this and given their relationship, Fearless wouldn't do anything like that if there were no substantial benefits for him. Naturally, he would never think of plotting against Wang Yu unless he was forced to the corner.

So who could it be? And why?

In that instant, Wang Yu's head was cracking.

Mystery Observer cried out by the side, ”F*ck! Since this is the case, that means they're not even out to target us?! We've been dragged into this… No, I must carve out the word 'innocent' on this wall to express my current state of mind.”

”Dragged into this?” Wang Yu replied faintly, ”I doubt so… It is quite clear that the other party is targeting you guys too.”

”Targeting us?” Mystery Observer replied, ”Why do you say that?”
