The sun of Hero City shone on him as he stepped out of the prison cell. He took in a deep breath, and the warmth of the sun immediately dissipated the chill in his body. He stood in front of the prison cell and closed his eyes for a long while before he was able to calm himself down.
He stared at the players in the distance with a faint smile on his face. Should I give up? No, of course not. He was not the kind of person who would give up. He was the kind of person who would fight even if there was only a sliver of hope left. It was the same for everything, especially when it came to relationships.
He looked back at the prison cell, then at the pedestrians in the distance. A confident smile appeared on his face as he walked towards the city center.
When Bai Mo walked out of the prison cell, Fleeting Time was nowhere to be seen. Bai Mo was somewhat disappointed by this. He had clearly sensed the hostility and murderous intent from Fleeting Time in the prison, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of disappointment. It seems that I've misled him. But Bai Mo would not explain himself even if he met Fleeting Time. He had thought that Fleeting Time was strong enough to take Ye Ci away from him, but it seemed that Fleeting Time was only so-so.
He was not meticulous enough, patient enough, or confident enough. So what if he was strong in the game? He was just an idiot. There was no way Fleeting Time would let a man like that take Ye Ci away.
"Little Ci, looks like I'll be staying by your side for a very long time." Bai Mo let out a sigh and stretched his back, "Little Ci, it seems like I'll be staying by your side for a very long time."
Fleeting Time stood in the city center without his cloak. Fleeting Time stared at the players around him, and the players stared back at him. Why would he appear in a place like this?
Just as the players were wondering what was going on, Fleeting Time shouted out, "I'll give you 10,000 gold coins for every kill you make. You only have one chance."
The players around him stopped in their tracks. They were all surprised by his words. They did not know what he was talking about. Some of the braver players stepped forward and asked, "Fleeting Time, when you said 10,000 gold per kill, are you talking about PvP with you?"
"Up to you. You can strip naked and let me kill you if you want, or PK with me if you want. I'll give you 10,000 gold coins for every death you make." Fleeting Time's smile was as dazzling as the sun in Hero City.
"Are we going to the arena?"
"No, it's right here."
"Here! This is the city center! " The players who approached Fleeting Time stared at him with wide eyes. They had no idea what was going on in his mind. Doesn't he know that Gongzi You was taken away after he killed me? He was even sentenced to three days in jail …
Wait! Wait! Wait!
It was Gongzi You who was taken away … Could it be …
The players who stopped in their tracks couldn't help but mutter in their hearts. Was this for real? Of Fleeting Time's Fleeting Time? This seemed to be the only explanation for why he would do such a foolish thing.
Fleeting Time did not give the players any time to speculate, "Hurry up if you want to earn 10,000 gold coins. This is your only chance. I don't have the time."
"Me! Me! Me!" Before Fleeting Time could finish his sentence, a Gnomish Warlock offered him a trade. The Gnomish Warlock then stripped naked and stood in front of Fleeting Time, "It's my honor to die in the hands of Fleeting Time, the God of the Hunt! I never thought that I would be able to defeat you … "
The Gnomish Warlock from the Southeastern Continent rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground. A chat window then appeared above the Gnomish Warlock's head, "That was way too fast. I wasn't even ready. I didn't even see how you attacked …"
The Gnomish Warlock was not the only one who did not see how Fleeting Time attacked. Fleeting Time's movements were extremely fast. The Gnomish Warlock collapsed to the ground after a few swings of the Gnomish Warlock's body.
Fleeting Time sheathed his dagger when he heard the system notification that he was about to be arrested. He then leaned against the fountain at the center of the plaza and waited for the guards to arrive.
It did not take long for the guards to arrive at the plaza. Fleeting Time raised his hand at the leader of the guards, "I did it …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Fleeting Time was already taken away by the guards.
"It's not that I don't understand. The world is changing too fast …" sighed a player who had witnessed the entire incident.
"Fleeting Time spent 10,000 gold coins to kill someone at the fountain in the heart of Hero City. He was then taken away by the police …" The shocking news was shared in the Map Channel and the World Channel.
In the court.
Fleeting Time had admitted to all the charges against him. His attitude was so good that even the judge felt that it was not a challenge at all. It's not easy to meet two murderers who have committed the most heinous crimes. Why are they so nice? I can't even show off my might …
"Your Honor, I admit to all the crimes I've committed. Can you grant me a small wish?" Fleeting Time smiled at the judge before the verdict was handed down.
"What is it?" The judge stroked his beard.
"Can I be locked in the same cell as Gongzi You?"
"Why? Are you trying to break out of prison? Don't you know that the prisons in Hero City are heavily guarded? You won't be able to escape just because you want to! "The Judge glared at Fleeting Time, clearly intending to reject his suggestion.
"Of course not. Your Honor, I wouldn't dare to break out of prison. The only reason I want to be locked in the same cell as Gongzi You is because we still have a debt to settle." Fleeting Time smiled, and his eyes narrowed into slits, making him look like the prettiest of foxes.
The judge sized Fleeting Time up for a long moment, and finally agreed to his request.
Fleeting Time was then escorted to his cell by the guards after the verdict was handed down.
He ran into Bai Mo, who was just about to leave, at the door of his cell. He flashed a confident smile at Bai Mo, and Bai Mo was stunned. Before Bai Mo could digest the news that Fleeting Time had been arrested for murder, he saw Fleeting Time making his way to his cell with a large number of guards surrounding him. He was in high spirits and didn't look like he was in a sorry state at all. Even when he brushed past her, the smile on his face was so proud and beautiful.
Bai Mo watched as Fleeting Time was escorted into his cell. It took him a while to recover from his shock, and he could not help but burst into laughter. At first, he was just smiling. Then, he couldn't help but laugh louder and louder. In the end, he actually laughed out loud. It seemed that there were times when he misjudged people.
That Fleeting Time … That guy …
He's really impressed me. He's actually able to use such a shameless and extreme method to strike back at me. I can't help but admire Fleeting Time. At the very least, I'm not as ruthless as Fleeting Time in certain aspects.
But Fleeting Time, do you really think that you can take my sister away from me? Isn't he underestimating me a little too much?
Bai Mo stroked the greatsword on his back with an unreadable smile on his face. He then turned around and walked towards the flying stone. You've won this round. Fleeting Time, enjoy the fruits of your labor. I don't know if you'll be able to win the next time …
Ye Ci stared at Fleeting Time as if he was a ghost.
Her eyelids had been twitching ever since she heard the guild members talking about Fleeting Time's murder. Originally, she was still deceiving herself and others, thinking that the guild members were lying to her, but she didn't expect …
She was surprised to see the troublesome Fleeting Time in the cell a few minutes later.
Fleeting Time stared at Ye Ci's widened eyes. He knew that he had gotten the best response he could from her.
"You … How did you get in here?" Ye Ci did not even bother to hide the shock and bewilderment in her voice. It was almost a scream.
"I killed someone in the downtown area." Fleeting Time shrugged, as if the matter was not a big deal at all.
"You … Why did you kill someone in the downtown area?" Ye Ci pointed a finger at Fleeting Time, "Don't you know that you're going to jail for killing someone in the downtown area? Don't you know how horrible it is to be in jail? "
"Little Gongzi, can I take it that you're concerned about me?" Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes as he chuckled at Ye Ci's twisted face.
Ye Ci's face flushed red, and she retracted her finger, "I'm just annoyed that I've been seeing you so many times every day, and I don't want to see you again. That's why I don't want to see you anymore. I've already hidden in the prison cell, how can you be so thick-skinned and stalk me like a ghost! "
"Didn't I tell you? I'll be back to accompany you soon. " Fleeting Time was still smiling happily. It was as if Ye Ci's anger could not affect his good mood at all.
Ye Ci was at a loss for words. Her face burned even hotter. She then sat on the ground and turned her head away with a snort, "I can't wait to hide from you. I don't need you to accompany me!" Ye Ci suddenly realized something, "There are so many empty cells here. Why are you sharing a cell with me?"
"I guess the system assigned it to me." Fleeting Time shrugged innocently. It was clear from the expression on his face that he had nothing to do with this matter.
Ye Ci did not doubt his words. She turned her head away and left him with her back facing him.
"Fleeting Time! Do you have a death wish?! Do you have a death wish?! Say it now if you have a death wish! Turn on your private chat!!! "Absalom shouted in the guild channel.
Fleeting Time let out a sigh. As expected, the consequences of his actions were revealed. He opened the private chat and received a private message from Absalom, "What do you want?"
"What do I want?! You have the nerve to ask me what I want?! Do you have a death wish?! Tell me if you have a death wish! I'll send you to hell right away! You bastard! "Absalom was extremely frustrated by the news he received from the World Channel. Absalom was planning to form a guild to clear a dungeon, and he was sure that Fleeting Time would be a part of the guild's formation. But he did not expect Fleeting Time to be locked up for three days after killing someone in the city. Absalom was furious.
"If you're not going to talk to me about it, I'll just take it that you're talking to me." Fleeting Time was not afraid of Absalom's rage at all.
"You … You … How dare you! I … I … I …" Absalom blurted out, "I'll get White Fairytale to teach you a lesson!"
Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes with killing intent, "Fang Congshu, it seems that you're tired of living."
Fleeting Time rarely used his full name, and he had never used his real name in the game. Absalom shuddered when he heard Fleeting Time calling him by his full name. It seems that there are some things that cannot be brought out to offend Fleeting Time. White Fairytale was one of the people that Fleeting Time was most reluctant to talk about. Fleeting Time would either not react to the name, or express his disgust at the mention of her name.
Absalom blinked his eyes and sighed, "Alright, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned her …"
"Speak if you have something to say. If not, turn off the voice chat. I'm annoyed by your voice." Fleeting Time's good mood was instantly dampened by Absalom's mention of someone he should not have.
"Don't do that, Fleeting Time! How are we going to clear the dungeon tonight if you're imprisoned?!"
"There are so many elites in Genesis!" Fleeting Time ignored Absalom's pitiful act.
"But I'm worried that our DPS won't be enough!" Absalom had his own concerns.
"It's time to put you to the test, guild leader." Fleeting Time let out a cold chuckle and immediately hung up on Absalom. He then closed the private chat.
Tears streamed down Absalom's face as he stared at Silent Hymn, "Silent Hymn, did I owe Fleeting Time something in my past life?"
"I bet you were a heartless man in your past life. You betrayed him a dozen times, and he was born to ruin you in this life." Silent Hymn made it clear that I had nothing to do with this matter, "Even a pig would know better than to mention White Fairytale in front of Fleeting Time. You're worse than a pig! You're only there to lower the IQ of our guild."
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you think Fleeting Time wants to imprison someone for murder?" Silent Hymn rolled his eyes, ignoring Absalom. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
