The 26 guilds that were charging towards Cloud Cloud City hadn't taken the initiative from start to finish. From being led into the city by Imperial Divine Cry, to being surrounded in the tower, to being despised outside the tower, to accepting the wager now, they had no choice but to accept it.
They were all guild leaders, so the feeling of being suppressed naturally made them very unhappy. After agreeing to the wager, one of the guild leaders said, "It's just that it's too lonely to fly alone. How about this, whoever loses, everyone will fly down!"
This was to seize the initiative and suppress the other side. This was also the result of their discussion. Although they were very suspicious of the other side's plot, the guild leaders felt that they were in an invincible position, so they didn't hesitate to increase the wager.
If the extremely overpowered player was timid, the guild leaders would be very happy. Who knew that the other side didn't even think about it and casually agreed with a "Alright". When the guild leaders who were originally full of confidence saw the other side's nonchalant expression, their hearts couldn't help but beat a small drum.
While the guild leaders were bewildered, they made arrangements for the guild. The main point was to temporarily wait outside the tower, not to move and not to cause trouble. Even if someone tried to cause trouble, just beat them back, and especially not to clash with the players of Cloud Cloud City.
This was announced to all the guild members. Afterwards, the guild leaders each privately messaged their core confidants, explaining the situation in detail, and left the outside matters to them to arrange. After everything was arranged, the guild leaders breathed a sigh of relief. What should they do next? The extremely overpowered player didn't say anything, and no one paid attention to them. There was even a group of people who gathered together to play poker. In the beginning, there were only three people playing, but in the end, it became three houses with six people. Halfway through, there were even people who suddenly got up and said they had something to do, then left.
Everything was so calm and natural, as if they weren't surrounded by 26,000 strong players. Those who wanted to play, those who wanted to laugh, and those who wanted to look for girls continued to lean against the window to look for beauties. The guild leaders were bored, what were they doing? Some people unconsciously looked towards the pile of alcohol at the stairs. Previously, they had insisted on not accepting the enemy's sugar-coated bullets, but now they wanted to take the initiative to attack the sugar-coated bullets.
After who knew how long, the guild leaders gradually became a little excited from loneliness, boredom, and worry. Why? It was getting closer and closer to the appointed time.
The presidents weren't fools. Of course, they had to make an appointment. Otherwise, wouldn't there be no end to it? Did they really have to wait for their guild members to cause trouble? Wouldn't that mean that they had no chance of winning? At this moment, there were still around 10 minutes before the bet ended. The reports from the various guilds stated that everything was calm. There were no surprises at all. The players that had gathered in Cloud Cloud City to spectate had also dispersed due to boredom. Only the 26,000 players from the 26 guilds were still gathered there like idiots.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. It will be over soon." The various guild leaders comforted the crowd. They were also waiting, and they knew how difficult it was.
One point, two points, three points!
For the rest of the time, every minute that passed made the guild leaders feel very satisfied. They felt more and more like they could see the flying man perform. They began to size up the group of people who were very heaven-defying, thinking about what each of them would look like when they flew down. Suddenly, someone realized that a very heaven-defying person had left just now! Wouldn't it mean that they wouldn't need to fly if they left? This was against the rules! That was what everyone was thinking, but they actually allowed that person to leave without stopping him?
"We have to make this clear! These guys aren't just trying to take advantage of this loophole. When the time is almost up and nothing happens, they'll all leave first! "A guild leader said.
All the guild leaders expressed their agreement. Just as they were about to speak, they saw the Han Family Young Master, who had been leaning against the window and drinking by himself, suddenly laugh coldly and say, "Finally can't sit still anymore?" Then, he looked over at them.
They didn't know why, but at this moment, all of the guild leaders felt indescribably shocked. They couldn't help but feel as if they had been schemed against. One of them had already blurted out, "What can't sit still anymore?"
"Just now, several streets in Cloud Cloud City have received news of people from your guild committing murder and arson." The Han Family Young Master was full of smiles as he spoke alarmingly. Killing people was one thing, but how could they set fire in the game? Do you want to burn down the main city? Did they really think that the system didn't exist?
"Impossible!!" The 26 guild leaders practically said in unison. They had been constantly in contact with their guilds. Their brothers below were doing their best to fulfill their duties. During this boring wait, not a single person from the guild left.
"That's the truth." The Han Family Young Master said.
"You can't lie to the truth. Our guild members are clearly below." A guild leader said.
"You say that our people are committing murder and arson. What evidence do you have?" Another guild leader said.
"This evidence isn't easy to obtain. Why don't you send people to take a look?" The Han Family Young Master said.
The guild leaders looked at one another. Someone laughed coldly, "Do you think we'll fall for this?"
"We can choose a few people from each side and personally go and find out," the Han Family Young Master said.
When the guild leaders heard this, they felt that this method was feasible. Thus, they randomly picked two out of the 26 people. They were both archers with good eyesight. On the side of Against the Heavens, the ones who stood out were Sword Ghost and Brother You.
"The four of them will go take a look. No problem, right?" The Han Family Young Master said.
After the guild leaders nodded, Brother You randomly took out a teleportation scroll. The four of them entered the teleportation circle.
When the teleportation scroll came out, they were naturally in Cloud Cloud City outside the tower. The two guild leaders immediately looked around. In the end, it was just a normal market. There was nothing out of the ordinary. The two of them searched while asking, "Where?"
"This way." Brother You led the way. Sword Ghost didn't say a word. One of the two found Sword Ghost and said, "Boss Sword Ghost."
"Mm." Sword Ghost smiled and nodded.
That person also smiled. "Long time no see."
"Yeah!"
"You're still as famous as ever!"
"You're not bad either!"
"Haha, Against the Heavens, you're awesome no matter where you go!"
Brother You and the other guild leader looked at the two of them in surprise. So they knew each other. Brother You had to admit that Sword Ghost knew the guild leaders. He just kept a low profile and didn't make it public. Brother You felt that it was very low class to compare himself.
"This time, there's no right or wrong … You know," the guild leader said to Sword Ghost.
"Mm."
"You probably don't know how much we've been looked down on."
"I know," Sword Ghost said.
"You know?"
"If I knew that the guild was yours, I would have reminded you," Sword Ghost said.
"Remind what?" The guild leader was stunned.
"There's a hidden meaning to this." Sword Ghost smiled.
The guild leader scratched his head, clearly not understanding. The other president also had a doubtful look on his face.
"It looked like a natural conflict between the players, but in reality, someone had been instigating it from behind," Sword Ghost said.
"You mean Ying Qi's studio?" No one expected the other guild leader to say it so quickly. Sword Ghost and Brother You both looked at him.
"If someone was instigating it, the answer isn't hard to guess, right?" The guild leader spread his hands and said. From the start, Ying Qi had hired these experts to do things, causing the situation to develop. The answer wasn't hard to guess.
"You suspected it long ago?" Brother You asked this brother.
"Mm." The brother nodded. "And I'm not the only one who thinks that way. But so what? We have no choice, even if we know that we're being set up. In the game, force is the most direct way to break up a guild, but it's never the most effective. The scariest thing is actually rumors and slander. If the people's hearts scatter, the guild will fall apart. "
"So you have to fight this battle?" Brother You said.
The brother nodded. "Divert attention, quell rumors, shut people's mouths, and strengthen the guild's cohesiveness."
"But if the studio wants to cause trouble, they can always continue to instigate and fabricate other rumors," Brother You said.
"How can there be waves when there's no wind?" The brother smiled.
Brother You understood what he meant. For example, if their people weren't killed by Defiant, even if the studio wanted to create rumors about them, they wouldn't be able to create such a big effect.
"Talent!" Brother You exclaimed. Sword Ghost and the old Defiant member also expressed their admiration.
"You're welcome." The brother was humble.
"If that's the case, we can't let the studio succeed no matter what," Sword Ghost said.
"Sigh, it's easier said than done!" The brother sighed.
Brother You looked at the coordinates and suddenly said, "We're almost there."
"Actually, what are your plans?" The brother suddenly asked. Since everyone had communicated openly, he felt that it wasn't too much to ask this question.
"Lure the snake out of its hole," Sword Ghost said.
"Who's the snake?"
"Who else could it be?"
"So, it's actually the studio that's pretending to be our guild and causing trouble in Cloud Cloud City?"
"Talent, talent!!!" Brother You continued to worship.
"But even if we know, we can't explain it clearly! We're new faces in Cloud Cloud City. Since we're so aggressive, the players in Cloud Cloud City might be hostile towards us. "
"That's why we're prepared," Sword Ghost said.
"Oh?"
"Our bet was to be prepared," Sword Ghost said.
"The people from our twenty-six guilds didn't move!" The brother's eyes lit up. "But will the players in Cloud Cloud City believe us so easily?"
"It might not be easy in other main cities, but Cloud Cloud City is different. We have experts with high reputations."
"A Thousand Miles Drunk!" This time, it was the brother's turn to worship.
Sword Ghost and Brother You suddenly felt very proud, proud to have such a friend.
"What about A Thousand Miles Drunk?"
"He … he's not online." The two were speechless.
"Such a big thing happened, and he's not online??" The two guild leaders' eyes widened.
Sword Ghost and Brother You were silent. At this moment, they felt that having such a friend … made them feel very complicated.
