“Oh?” Meng Xi raised her eyebrows and said, “Really?”
“Of course!” Big Bear Deng Deng An added, “Quan Zhen Sect has an extremely bad reputation in Twilight City. That Frost Blade is a professional businessman. He must have swindled a lot of money from you. I personally detest people like them.”
“Cut it with your nonsense!” Meng Xi said impatiently, “Tell me, where is he!”
“That…” Upon hearing this question, Big Bear Deng Deng An, who was initially talking non-stop, suddenly paused in his sentence. He coolly said, “This… I can’t tell you guys.”
“Heng! Do you think that I won’t dare to kill you?” Meng Xi glared at Big Bear Deng Deng An and said.
“No, of course not.” Big Bear Deng Deng An hurriedly said, “You even dared to kill Quan Zhen Sect’s people, much less someone like me. However, if I divulge the information to you, Quan Zhen Sect wouldn’t let me off either.”
“Are you implying that we are beneath Quan Zhen Sect?” Meng Xi questioned in response.
“That’s not what I meant.” Big Bear explained, “Every one of you here is an outsider. The very most you can do is kill me a few times. Quan Zhen Sect, on the other hand, are locals, and one of them is even the City Lord. If I were to offend them, I wouldn’t be able to remain in Twilight City. I would rather die a few times than not be able to play the game at all.”
“Makes sense!” Meng Xi nodded in agreement before asking, “So what must I do for you to say it?”
Big Bear pondered over the question before answering, “That Quan Zhen Sect has absolute power within Twilight City. Seeing as you are unfamiliar with this place, even if I told you where Frost Blade was, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to get your hands on him. My Void Blade does have some influence in Twilight City. If you are willing to, you can consider cooperating with my guild. If that’s the case, I’ll notify my boss and we can sit down together to discuss matters further.”
“Cooperate?” Upon hearing this, Meng Xi’s figure shook a little, before asking the few behind her, “What do you guys think?”

“Cooperate!!” Jeff nodded and said.
Rockabye glanced at Big Bear before saying, “What this man said is right. Even though killing someone is extremely easy for us, chasing after a single person in a big city like this is extremely difficult. I think we can cooperate with them.”
Killing might require strength, but chasing after an individual required manpower. Furthermore, they themselves had already witnessed firsthand how slippery the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were.
Just then, Rockabye and the rest had let the three of them slip past their grasp in the bar, much less chase after them in the entire city.
Quan Zhen Sect was the overlord of this land. Add on the fact that these outsiders were unfamiliar with the area, if they were to really chase after their trail, they might not even be able to catch a glimpse of their figures.
“En!”
Seeing that Rockabye and Jeff were both in agreement, Meng Xi nodded her head and said, “Let’s cooperate!”
“That’s great!” Big Bear Deng Deng An revealed a joyous expression and said, “There are a lot of prying eyes here. Can I trouble all of you here to follow me back to the headquarters of my Void Blade?”
“Surely you aren’t working with Quan Zhen Sect too?” After asking this question, Meng Xi added, “Whatever, even if you guys are working with Quan Zhen Sect, seeing that those trash could become your City Lord, if we could kill them as we please, we naturally can do the same to you.”
“Of course, of course!” Big Bear Deng Deng An frantically wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said, “Please wait for a moment, I’ll contact my Guild Leader!”
After finishing his sentence, Big Bear Deng Deng An immediately sent a message over to Captain Don’t Open Fire, “Boss, guess what I just saw?”
“You saw a lady bathing nude?” Captain Don’t Open Fire instantaneously replied in a mocking tone.
“It’s even more invigorating than that by a thousand times!” Big Bear Deng Deng An replied emotionally.
“Oh? You entered a female bathhouse?”
No one knew what Captain Don’t Open Fire’s impression of Big Bear Deng Deng An was. Whatever he said seemed to always be related to women.

“What female bathhouse!” Big Bear Deng Deng An hurriedly added, “I saw the people from Quan Zhen Sect get slaughtered!”
“Pei!” Captain Don’t Open Fire calmly replied, “I was initially curious over what had gotten you so excited… Isn’t it normal for people to die in the game…”
Speaking up till this point, however, Captain Don’t Open Fire finally realised what Big Bear had said, “What? Who did you say was slaughtered?”
“Quan Zhen Sect!” Big Bear Deng Deng An confirmed.
“Quan Zhen Sect?”
Upon hearing these three words, Captain Don’t Open Fire was stunned for a good three to four seconds, before recovering himself and asking, “F*ck, how many masters did the other party send? How many of them did they kill? Why didn’t I hear the commotion?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…
After mingling in Twilight City for so long, the shadow formed in Captain Don’t Open Fire’s heart because of Quan Zhen Sect was traumatising. Upon hearing that the people from Quan Zhen Sect were killed, his first train of thought was that the other party must have sent numerous players in order to accomplish such a feat. Otherwise, how was it possible for them to take out that group of b*stards in Twilight City. The difficulty of doing that was even harder than solo-ing a BOSS.
“What commotion?” Big Bear Deng Deng An replied, “The other party only has seven players. Apart from the three people, Fearless that old dog, Spring Halo that old thief and that unruly brat, being forced to underhanded means to log off and escape for their lives, the rest of them were all killed!”
“Oh? How many players from the other party died?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked curiously.
“Die? The other party completely suppressed Quan Zhen Sect!” Big Bear added, “None of them was injured at all!”
“F*ck! Did you see it wrongly?”
Upon hearing what Big Bear Deng Deng An said, Captain Don’t Open Fire was utterly shocked.
It should be known that Void Blade had previously sent a huge number of players to surround Quan Zhen Sect, but was almost completely eliminated instead. The other party only had seven players on their side and was yet able to team-wipe the entire Quan Zhen Sect, and even emerged unscathed. F*ck… Captain Don’t Open Fire started to wonder if what Big Bear Deng Deng An said was all just a part of his imagination.
“I didn’t!” Big Bear Deng Deng An said, “These people are still in the bar. I managed to hold them back. These could be the only people capable of dealing with Quan Zhen Sect. With their help, wouldn’t it be a matter of time before you take over as City Lord?”
“This…”
Upon hearing that they were going against Quan Zhen Sect, Captain Don’t Open Fire couldn’t help but hesitate at the thought of it.
After all, Captain Don’t Open Fire knew fully well how strong Quan Zhen Sect was. Furthermore, the trauma that Wang Yu had left in his heart was extremely deep. As long as Quan Zhen Sect existed, Captain Don’t Open Fire would always feel threatened. Thus, it was only natural that Captain Don’t Open Fire was conflicted when deciding to go against Quan Zhen Sect once more.
After deliberating over the issue for a while, Captain Don’t Open Fire gave his answer, “I want to become the City Lord, but Quan Zhen Sect isn’t easy to deal with.”
“I know!” Big Bear persisted, “But isn’t there someone that could deal with them now? Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bring up such a suggestion. Furthermore, the other party is willing to work with us!”
“But…” When it came to matters regarding Quan Zhen Sect, Captain Don’t Open Fire always felt a sense of uneasiness.
Big Bear Deng Deng An pressured, “Boss, listen to me. There are not many players that are capable of suppressing the people from Quan Zhen Sect. If we lose this opportunity, we may not have another chance in the future!”
Once an opportunity was gone, it would never come back.
Initially, Captain Don’t Open Fire was extremely conflicted over making such a decision. However, after hearing Big Bear’s words, Captain Don’t Open Fire caved in.
The obstacle in front of Void Blade wasn’t only just Quan Zhen Sect, there was Sanguine Alliance as well.
This was a one-in-a-million chance for him to make a comeback and become the next City Lord. If he passed it up, who knew when the next opportunity would turn up in the future.

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!
