“What are they doing at the Carol City Center Auction House?” Nie Yan walked along, wondering how he could provoke Break Sky into getting angry. He wore a helpless smile. This really wasn’t his specialty.
“They seem to be buying something,” Guo Huai replied, not entirely sure himself.
Nie Yan thought for a moment. Instead of going to the Carol City Center Auction House to find Break Sky, it would be better to head straight for the headquarters of Triumph Empire.
Given Nie Yan’s sensitive identity, what would happen if he showed up at the headquarters of Triumph Empire?
Most likely, before Nie Yan even had a chance to speak, the players from Triumph Empire would start cursing at him first. Then, if he summoned the Carol City guards, one could imagine how lively the scene would become.
Nie Yan made his way directly toward the headquarters of Triumph Empire.
“Send someone to tell Break Sky that I’m going to cause trouble at their guild headquarters,” Nie Yan said after thinking for a moment. “Let Bad Guy go. Tell him not to be polite with Break Sky, treat him like family, and the more provoking the better.”
“Got it,” Guo Huai immediately understood Nie Yan’s intention. Sending Bad Guy over was meant to provoke Break Sky.
Guo Huai relayed Nie Yan’s message to Bad Guy.
“Tsk, this won’t be hard at all. Just leave it to me, Boss Nie Yan,” Bad Guy exclaimed. He wouldn’t miss out on such an exciting event. Provoking Break Sky, what could be more thrilling than that?
“Break Sky is at the center auction house. Be quick and efficient, Boss Nie Yan is waiting.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle this matter well.”
After giving the instructions, Nie Yan closely monitored the situation at the Carol City Center Auction House.
At the Carol City Center Auction House, it was much busier than usual. However, since the auction house had recently upgraded to level 9, the space had expanded significantly, so even though it was bustling with people, there was no sign of congestion.
Several players glanced toward a distant corner, whispering among themselves. There, more than twenty people occupied fifty to sixty seats, driving other players away. To avoid trouble, ordinary players quickly moved away. Triumph Empire was powerful, and they didn’t want to face endless pursuit and attacks.
“Look, that’s Break Sky, the leader of Triumph Empire.”
“Who’s that rogue beside him? He looks really strong.”
Shadow Killer, wearing a Shattered set and with an extremely notorious red name, stood out especially. In a moment, Shadow Killer put on his black robe again, hiding within the dark hood.
“Never seen him before.”
Although Shadow Killer was quite famous, few had actually seen him, which had to do with his low-key nature.
Moreover, among those killed by Shadow Killer, each was somewhat renowned. For the sake of their pride, how could they spread videos of their defeat? Thus, very few videos of Shadow Killer were circulating. It was normal for players not to recognize him.
“This fortress war’s target is Nie Yan and Half-Awake Fox. If Fa Lan appears, he will also be a target. Do you think you can handle it?” Break Sky looked at the figure beside him, whose eyes were hidden within the hood, exuding a killing aura.
“All three of them?” Shadow Killer asked indifferently.
“During the fortress war, we can kill Half-Awake Fox first. As for Nie Yan, we can think of ways later,” Break Sky replied. During the fortress war, as the leader of the opposing faction, Half-Awake Fox was obviously more important. Although he hated Nie Yan deeply, he knew what was more crucial. Also, Nie Yan was too strong. If Shadow Killer failed in the assassination, it would affect the fortress war.
Shadow Killer nodded without saying anything else.
Unexpectedly, the new expansion pack “Forgotten History” was about to begin before the fortress war, and no one knew how it would impact the war’s dynamics.
Break Sky had just obtained an equipment blueprint, which required some special ores to produce. If he could produce around eighty to a hundred pieces, it would greatly enhance the guild’s strength. Therefore, he needed to purchase a large amount of raw materials and, at the same time, contact Shadow Killer to discuss the terms. Shadow Killer’s price for killing Half-Awake Fox was 800 gold coins, while for Nie Yan, it was as high as 2000 gold coins. Such a price was indeed very high.
Just then, a figure, ignoring the obstruction, walked directly inside and approached Break Sky and Shadow Killer, wearing a casual and carefree expression.
This person was none other than Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed.
The Triumph Empire players present didn’t manage to stop him in time. They also dared not forcibly intervene, as they had no authority to drive Bad Guy away unless his actions exceeded the specified limits.
Thus, Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed was fearless.
Teasing Break Sky, the leader of Triumph Empire, here was an unparalleled feeling.
“Hey, Brother Break Sky, how’s it going?” Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed said cheerfully, wearing a face that begged for a beating.
Break Sky’s face immediately darkened. Never before had anyone dared to speak to him like this.
The surrounding Triumph Empire members exchanged glances. Could this person be a friend of Break Sky? They dared not approach and pull Bad Guy away.
“Who is this guy?”
“Not sure. Seems familiar, but I can’t recall right now.”
“I remember now. This guy is Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed from the Bull Player Tribe!”
“Could he be a spy sent by the leader?”
“Get out!” Break Sky said angrily. He never expected someone so clueless to come and disturb him.
“Tsk tsk, don’t be like that. I just saw you and thought I’d come over to say hello. Our leader said we should treat you like a close brother, like family, no need to be so cold,” Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed said with a grin.
Break Sky also recalled now. This guy was from the Bull Player Tribe! And he was one of the ten people from the Magma Forest incident!
Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed was somewhat famous.
“Go back and tell your leader not to get too cocky. I’ll deal with him sooner or later,” Break Sky said coldly.
“Now you’re wrong. Our leader is such a kind and generous person. His heart is as vast as the sea. His handsome appearance shines like the bright moon in the sky. How can you call him a petty person? You’re slandering him. How can you slander such a respected and beloved person…” Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed rambled on like a fly, fully demonstrating his exceptional eloquence, getting more and more carried away.
Seeing that Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed wouldn’t stop, Break Sky looked at the Triumph Empire players on both sides and said, “Drag him away!”
He was filled with anger. The Bull Player Tribe was pushing too far!
According to the city’s rules, if someone disturbed the leaders of various guilds, the leaders had the right to take some appropriate actions within the limits, such as having someone dragged away.
Two players from Triumph Empire approached, grabbed Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed, and dragged him outside.
“Hey, Brother Break Sky, I almost forgot to tell you. Our leader is planning to visit your guild headquarters. Hurry up and prepare some tea,” Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed said, seeing Break Sky’s furious expression and secretly feeling delighted. How many guild members of the Bull Player Tribe had died at the hands of Triumph Empire? He had been holding onto his anger for a long time. Today was extremely satisfying. Provoking Break Sky like this was even more thrilling than cursing him out loud.
Upon hearing Bad Guy’s words, Break Sky’s face changed. If Nie Yan was heading to the headquarters of Triumph Empire, it definitely wasn’t for anything good. He immediately stood up.
“We’re heading back to the guild headquarters!” Break Sky declared. Within Carol City, he didn’t believe Nie Yan could pull off anything. Since Nie Yan dared to come to the headquarters of Triumph Empire, he would go and confront this guy.
Shadow Killer’s eyes flashed with an indiscernible light as he touched the dagger in his hand. The infamous thief, Nie Yan, he was curious about his strength.
A group of them, filled with rage, rushed toward the headquarters of Triumph Empire to see what Nie Yan was up to.
Nie Yan was conversing with a group of players from Triumph Empire.
“I really just want to come here and sit around, chat with Break Sky for a bit,” Nie Yan said innocently.
“Damn it, who would believe that? Get lost quickly. Don’t think we won’t touch you!” The Triumph Empire members rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight. They would attack immediately if Nie Yan dared to enter the guild headquarters because it was a private area.
“Get out!”
Nie Yan was leisurely waiting for Break Sky to arrive, thinking about what words he could use to provoke Break Sky. He also needed to ensure that all his words stayed within the rules of Carol City. Just as he was thinking, he saw a group of angry people approaching from a distance, with Break Sky leading the way.
A faint smile appeared on Nie Yan’s lips. He had been waiting for Break Sky for a long time. As Break Sky approached, Nie Yan was about to speak when Break Sky suddenly shouted, “F*** you, Nie Yan! Don’t think you Bull Player Tribe is so great that you can come here. This is Triumph Empire’s territory. Get the f*** out of here!”
Nie Yan was taken aback. He had been thinking hard just moments ago about a suitable way to provoke Break Sky. Arguing and cursing wasn’t his specialty. He never expected it to be this easy, with the fish biting the hook on its own. What kind of provocation had Bad Guy given Break Sky to trigger such intense anger, causing him to start with curses immediately!
Break Sky had originally come from a street thug background. Asking him not to swear was as hard as climbing to the sky. Especially after being provoked by Bad Guy Who Can’t Be Killed at the auction house earlier, he was still filled with anger. Seeing Nie Yan, he naturally unleashed all his fury.
Nie Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, “I was just here for a visit. I didn’t expect you guys to be so unwelcoming.”
The group of Triumph Empire players thought Nie Yan was so annoying, so they spared no words and cursed him without restraint. These guys had little refinement to begin with, and their curses were full of vulgarities.
Nie Yan scanned the Triumph Empire players with his eyes and noticed a figure in a black robe in a distant corner, raising his eyebrows slightly. Shadow Killer!
This guy was watching the show from the corner.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
Nie Yan shifted his gaze and looked around, smirking mockingly, “Are you done cursing yet?”
As soon as Nie Yan finished speaking, a large group of fully armed, golden-armored Carol City guards rushed over. Each of them was at least level 60 or 70 elite, some even higher. They surrounded all the Triumph Empire players, exuding a deadly aura that sent chills down people’s spines.
In an instant, all the Triumph Empire players were stunned. How did they manage to summon the city guards?
