Unaware that 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry' had already fallen to Chrono's hand, TigerB and his council member were still looking for the culprit responsible for robbing the 'Grand Safe'.

With the huge army that they commanded,TigerB and his council members searched a wide range of area hoping to find the culprit.

"Search Thoroughly! We need to find the culprit by today!"

As the time passed, TigerB and his council members started to get anxious. They already searched for hours but not even a trace of the culprit was found.

"Report!"

Once he heard the guard, TigerB was anxiously asking the guard. After so many hours, finally TigerB and his council members heard the guard reporting something. 'Finally a result!' Was what TigerB and his council members originally thought.

"What is it? Found a clue yet?"

Instead of reporting straightaway, the guard seems to hesitate with his report.

".........."

Once TigerB saw this, he knew it was a bad news. He closed his eyes preparing for the worse before ordering the guard.

"Speak!"

Once the guard heard TigerB order, he continued his report while stuttering in fear for his higher up wrath.

"An unknown merchant just bought 60% stock shares of the 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry'."

When TigerB heard the news, his eyes widened. He didn't expect such a news. Some of the council members were on their knees feeling despair with the news.

TigerB stood in front of the guard without moving. he was in silence for a few minutes before he regained his composure and analyze the situation.

"How did someone have such a huge amount of money needed to buy the stocks...Wait! So that's what they actually aim, it's the culprit that robbed us!"

TigerB and his council members finally realize that the robbery of the 'Grand Safe' was not a simple robbery. Instead, it was a grand scheme to take over the two mega companies owned by 'TerraNorth'.

One of the council member lift his head after he heard TigerB deduction to ask a question.

"What that useless merchant, Roshan doing? We cant do anything with this kind of financial attack but as a merchant, that guy can definitely defend against this."

The guard answered the council member question while still stuttering.

"Sir Roshan was...he was..... assassinated by an unknown man an hours ago."

""WHAT??"""

TigerB and his council member shouted in unison, they cant believe someone can assassinate Roshan while he was in the 'Grand Fort'. Before TigerB and his council members could recover from the shocking news, they heard another heartbreaking news from the new incoming guard.

"Report! An army of no less then 50 000 were spot surrounding the 'Cranberry' headquarters."

Once TigerB heard the report, his confusion turned into anger. Out of anger, he punched the tree beside him before he commanded his whole army to go to the 'Cranberry' headquarters out of impulse.

"Pfftt, How far this guy wants to mock us! Everyone, Follow me!."

****

Once the sun rose, the fog around the 'Cranberry headquarters surrounding started to disappear. Everyone around the headquarters beside Chrono bewildered when they noticed other masked men beside them.

Chrono was watching the confused masked men around him from the highest cliff around. His eyes keep looking west, where he expect TigerB army will appear.

When he saw TigerB army approaching, he waited patiently before the army come close enough.

Once TigerB army were close enough, Chrono raised the heavy spear he hold on his right hand high as if to give the order before he cried.

"CHARGE!!!!!"

Chrono war cry startle the masked men around him since they had no idea whats going on.By riding Thorin, Chrono jump from the high cliff while charging to the 'Cranberry' headquarters like a great general initial attack in a war.

Seeing Chrono charge, TigerB order his army to attack the 'mask' clan around to defend 'Cranberry' headquarters against the attack.

TigerB army attacked every mask men they saw surprising the confused mask users. Weaker mask men died on the spot but many of the mask men successfully defends against the surprise attack.

"Huh?"

"What happen? Why did they attack us?"

"Lets just defend ourselves first."

Some of the more skillful mask men retaliated the attack by killing the troops around them out of impulse.

Since TigerB command the attack out of panic and he doesn't have much experience commanding a large armies, his army formation were in a mess.

TigerB messy army formation combined with the mask men that have no idea what happens making no one in the battlefield beside Chrono had no idea what was actually happening.

Bam!!

Booom!!

Ting!Ting!

Woosh!!!

Spells and skills unleashed around the battlefield making the battlefield more hectic.Everyone around the battlefield just attacked anything that seems hostile to them.

Chrono took this opportunity by sneaking around the battlefield by avoiding the actual battle. He made his way to the east, out of the battlefield area.

East of the 'Cranberry' headquarters was 'TerraNorth' headquarters. To easily defend against any attack, 'TerraNorth' decide to build 'Cranberry' headquarters near their headquarters.

Once Chrono managed to move out of the battlefield, he made his way to the east. He rode Thorin as fast as he can because he don't want the two army from 'TerraNorth' and TigerB to meet. Not because he were afraid to face both army, but that will only delayed his plan.

On his way to the 'TerraNorth' headquarters, in the thick forest of 'Kramodia' that seperates 'Cranberry' and 'TerraNorth' headquarters. He met with an armed forced that have no less then 10 000 in numbers.

The leader of the forced seems annoyed since he doesn't like to wait. The big ogre, with his three henchmen came in front to face Chrono.

"Why did you take so long?"

"Sorry, something unexpected came out, the plan almost failed thanks to the two moron. Thankfully both of them were noobs."

"Hmm...Ok, lead the way, today you are the main character."

With Thorin, Chrono came to the front line followed by Jurek and his fellows 'BloodBrothers' members in full force.

They marched their ways to the 'TerraNorth' headquarters with confidence without a shredded of fear.In less then five minutes they sighted 'TerraNorth' armies marching at the opposing direction.

The 'TerraNorth' armies were ten times in numbers compared to the BloodBrothers.The bloodbrothers, with all of their members wearing a mask, seems like a puny forced compared to the'TerraNorth's' Mega army.

******

The city of merchant, Mafoso.

Looking at the situation from the 'world's orb' the merchants whispered each other while some of them sweating nervously.

By selling all their stocks to Chrono, their fate was on Chrono's hands.Chrono must win in this fight or their life as a merchant may end since 'TerraNorth' will treat them with hostilities.

But the higher ranking merchants were as compose as ever, they watched as if Chrono already won. Samir look at Fizz before he spoke.

" So this was the plan all along. That man truly were interesting."

Fizz just smiled wryly as he also just realized what Chrono was trying to do.

"Yeah, he never ceased to amaze me."

******

The Chaotic town of Daisy

The underworld leaders also saw the situation from the 'world's orbs'. When they saw the situation, they felt enraged as if they got cheated. They felt even with all the military knowledge of the world, there's no way a puny army can fight an army ten times of their sized.

"What's this?"

"Where's the knife you just throw? I want to kill you right now!"

Sitka just smiled beautifully, even though she knows what Chrono was about to do, no one in Emperor Saga's doing it before. A part of her actually felt worried.

Among the underworld leaders, some of them just watched in silence calmly waiting what Chrono ws going to do. But one underworld leaders, Marduka already realized what Chrono was about to do and laugh.

"HAHAHAHA!!! So that's what he trying to do, what an interesting guy!."

The clan leaders beside him bewildered by his laugh. But they knew, Marduka as one of the oldest player in Emperor Saga that knew most of the Emperor Saga's mechanics had an idea what Chrono was about to do.

"So what is he trying to do?"

"You will see my friend, you will see."

****

Only the highest members knew his plan. The other 'BloodBrothers' members only follows the plan without question.

Behind the mask, these members may already felt discourage when they saw the huge armies in front of them.Before he continued their march, Chrono cried to his fellow 'BloodBrothers' members.

"From now on we have nothing to fear,I already appoint you guys as higher rank member of the both company. Just keep on marching gallantly to the 'TerraNorth' headquarters."

Once Chrono finishes his speech, he continued his marches as if the giant armies in front of him didn't exist.

The 'BloodBrothers' members followed him behind just because they have faith in him. The 'BloodBrothers', continues their marched without any fear.

****

About 20 kilometers east of 'Cranberry's' headquarter, there lies the biggest fort city in the north continent.

A city that full of soldiers and can only be entered by the highest rank of the 'TerraNorth' and 'TerraFirma' clan members. The strongest fort city in the north continent, 'TerraNorth' clan's headquarters.

In the castle at the heart of the headquarters, in the throne room. A man that can be considered as the king of the north continent sitting on his throne waiting for the guards report.

"Lord Regis, an army of the masked men approaching from the west."

Regis looked at the reporting guard from his throne with an uninterested eyes. The news doesn't surprise him since he already saw the army through his 'World's orbs' artifact.

In fact, he already sent half of the headquarters army to crush his enemies. He's confident that nothing can be done against his mighty force of NPC soldier.

But to be sure, he asked the guard of the army fighting force.

"What was the estimated amount of the masked men fighting force?"

It takes awhile for the guard to answer the question and the answer quite a surprising one.

"..............I'm sorry but I can't tell you that."

Regis quite surprised by the guard answer. But he didn't mind it much since he already saw from his 'world's orbs' and he absolutely sure that the army he sent were 10 times larger then the masked men army.

'TerraNorth' clan's headquarters was a fort like city sized headquarters. Since only the selected few can entered the headquarters, the headquarters was filled by npc soldiers.

The headquarters has no less than a million soldiers to defend against the outside attack that they had a few times in a year. With their overwhelmingly large armies that filled with elite soldiers, no attack ever pass the headquarters main gate.

Without doing anything, Regis sat on his throne waiting for the good news from the guard. He was certain that the army he sent before was enough to crushed the enemies in less then an hour.

Regis council members stands side by side at the throne room. They just came here for formalities, and they also believed the army Regis sent would crush the masked men army in no time.

Because of this, they were in a relax mode and some of them even casually chatting with other council members.

But Regis received a news less than 30 minutes later. But the news was not as pleasant as he initially expected.

"Lord Regis, the masked men army now in front of the headquarters main gate."

Hearing the unexpected news,the council members got petrified and Regis stands from his throne in haste while his eyes widened and his jaw drops, bewildered by the news.

"What?! What happened to the army I just sent?"

Like before, the reporting guard giving the unsatisfying answers.

"..........I'm sorry but I can't tell you that."

Regis start to get suspicious at the NPC guard weird report, he hastily take out the 'world's orbs' from his pockets to observed the situation outside the main gate.

*****

Outside of the 'TerraNorth' headquarters. In front of the headquarters main gate were an army of masked men marching to the gate.

At the front line of the masked men army was a user wearing a skull masked, a blood red robe while holding a great spear and riding a drake.

Like a great generals of the past, the user lead his army marching to the 'TerraNorth' headquarters main gate.Once he was close enough, he cried in front of the main gate with a prideful voice fitting with his role today, as the army leader.

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

His voice, was like a thunder, echoing through the headquarters. Strangely enough, without a single opposition, the guards obediently open the door for him and his army to enter the headquarters.

DUDUDU.............................

****

Regis can't believe what he just saw. Without a single fight the guards obediently open the door for the masked men army.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO? Why opening the doors without a single fight? Attack them, NOW!"

At Regis impulsive orders, the guard once again giving him unsatisfying answers.

"I'm sorry, I or we actually unable to do that."

At the guard remark, one of the council member interrupt the conversation by throwing a question.

"Why was that?"

At the right question, finally the guard gave them the answers they want. But the answer confused them even more.

"We can't disobey our master."

*****

City of merchant, Mafoso.

Once they saw Chrono and his armies marching pass the army that supposed to fight them, the merchant finally get it what actually happen.

"I see, he used 'TerraNorth's' procedure against them. To make it easier for them to pay the soldiers salary, they assigned them to join either 'Ever Garden' or 'Cranberry'."

At one of the merchant remark, Samir agreed while he continue the analysis.

"Yes, interestingly that man manipulated the way the games work where an employee of a company can't attack their superior. It seems that guy already assigned all of his men as the higher ranking employee in both company."

******

The chaotic town of Daisy

Once they knew Chrono's trick one of the underworld clan leader asked a question.

"But....But not everyone in the army were NPC soldier that only act as the game suggested. The users can't attack while they were in the company but they can always quit from the company on the spot and attack them."

Sitka just smile wryly at the question. But before she tried to explain, Marduka interrupt her.

"Hehehe.....That lays on how 'TerraNorth' do things. There's another reason why every members of the 'TerraNorth' were assigned in either companies."

At Marduka remarks the other underworld clan's leaders throw the question since they were interested in the answers.

"Why was that?"

Marduka continues as he heard the question from the other leaders.

"It's to control their members. To avoid spies and betrayal, 'TerraNorth' used the company game system where the lower rank employee can't attack their superior.

But the employees can still attack their superiors if they quit the company.To avoid this, 'TerraNorth' make his clan members to sign contracts that have a great penalty if they quit the company.

The clan's members thought they would never leaved the superpower clan and by using this way, the clan can be sure of their clan members loyalty.So the clan make sure every members signed the contract that has a deadly penalty if they quit their company.

And I'm sure every members of 'TerraNorth' clan happily signed the deadly contract. How do I know this? It's the basic way for a big clan in Emperor Saga to control their clan members. But what kind of penalty they will received if they quit the clan, that's I don't know."

Once Marduka finishes his long explanation, Sitka smiled wryly while giving them the answers they want, though no one knows how she has the answers.

"It's the worst penalty for any players. But it was like a dead sentence for max level users. The penalty was bad enough since they can only watch skull masked and his armies marched to their headquarters without one impulsive users actually quit their respective company to stop the marching armies."

"What....what was the quitting penalty?"

"It was......any quitting users would have their avatars convert back to level 1."

********

Chrono and his armies keep on marching to the hearts of the headquarters. The NPC soldiers just obediently letting them pass while the users only can look at them while gritting their teeth since they cant do anything.

The marched continues as Chrono reach each of headquarters walls gate. And every time the guards open the gate without any oppositions.

Finally, Chrono and his armies reach the castle's gate. Like before, the guards open the gate for them and they continues their marched until they finally reach the throne room.

Only a thousand members were brought to the throne room while the other waited outside. In the throne rooms, they were Regis, his council members and a few elites guardsmen users.

Like before, no one can lift a finger against Chrono, not even Regis the man that can be considered as North Continent's king.

Once he tried to attack, Regis saw the message that stop him and his other clansmen to attack the man in front of him.

Unable to attack your own superior.

When he saw the message, Regis can only grit his teeth. As the clan leader of the clan that having 40% of the 'Ever Garden' and 'Cranberry' stock shares, he supposed to have the ownership of both companies.

But the news about Chrono companies take over a few hours ago still doesn't reach him yet making he confused by the current situation.

Regis tries to moved, but Grandin, one of Jurek's henchmen swiftly placed debuff on him.

"FEAR"

Suddenly Regis bodies tremble with fear. A second later he was already on his knees. Now it looks like Regis kneeled to Chrono begging for his life to be spared.

Chrono unmounted Thorin before he walked slowly towards Regis. As if he enjoyed the sadistic behavior, Chrono walk with a heavy steps making the onlookers nervous.

tap.....tap.....tap....

Once, Chrono reach Regis, he looked down on him since Regis in kneeling position. Chrono put away his spear before he take out the deadly dagger he used to assassinate users, 'Deadly Fangs'.Before Chrono stab Regis, he spoke.

"Any last word?"

While sweating and trembling with fear, Regis gather his courage to speak.

"I....I will never forgive you!"

To Chrono, it was an amusing remark, he chuckle a little before he moved his head to Regis ears, talking to Regis in a half whispered voiced.

"Unfortunately......I will never ask for your forgiveness."

Without wasting anymore time, Chrono stab Regis with the 'Deadly Fangs'.

*stab*

"Arrgh.... It's not over yet, Guys! Perform the summoning rites!"

Without waiting for Regis body to disappear, Chrono walked towards the throne and without any shames or remorse, he sat on the throne

like a boss.
