Why did Kieran enter the inn from the outside?
Why didn't Kieran disperse his killer intent?
Karles figured it out almost instantaneously.
Then, he felt even more bitter.
This was a trap!
From the start, it was a trap for him and Mark.
At the start of the gathering, when no one else showed up, he already had doubts in his heart but following Wu's appearance, his doubts were tossed aside.
Because in this loose organization, everyone knew that Wu did not have any fighting power.
Maybe in a certain aspect, Wu's strength had exceeded everyone's imagination.
But on the other hand, that kind of 'strength' would be exchanged with a fatal weakness.
Therefore, Wu wouldn't appear in any place where conflicts and battles could break out.
Especially after they heard that the game room wasn't completely safe, Wu's appearance made everyone in this loose organization think that it was safe.
Karles was no exception.
Karles continued to test Wu according to his plan.
It wasn't just because the guardians wanted to know the upper limit of Wu's abilities, Karles wanted to know as well.
After all, this kind of 'prophecy' ability was very rare.
It was rare to see such a thing. Even in the big cities, it was one of a kind.
Otherwise, the guardians wouldn't have exposed their flaws on their own and even sent him to infiltrate the loose organization.
But all of that wasn't important anymore.
What was important was how he could survive.
Karles wouldn't doubt Rachel's ruthlessness.
Similar to how he wouldn't doubt Kieran's decisiveness in killing, anyone who collected information about Kieran would know it.
Karles didn't want to wait any longer against such a situation.
He didn't want to test Kieran's patience with his own life.
"I can trade a piece of information for my own life!
I assure you, the information is worth the price!
Believe me, when you get the information, you will see my sincerity — as long as 2567 and Rachel are willing to sign a non-harm contract with me. "
Karles looked at Kieran and Rachel and said in a straightforward manner.
No one wanted to face death.
Even Karles, who was a Higher Ranker, was no exception.
It could even be said that because he had entered the Advanced Rank, he stood at a position that normal players couldn't reach. That was why he cherished his life even more.
"A message?"
"This isn't enough."
Rachel said with a smile.
Kieran, on the other hand, left the negotiation to the professionals.
He believed that Rachel would seek the best interests for him and himself.
Just like how Rachel believed that he would be able to deal with Mark and opened up a secret passage for him.
Kieran bent down and carried the drunk Starbeck to a chair beside him. He then pulled Lawless, who was still in a daze despite wearing an ice bucket, to the side. Kieran sighed in his heart when he saw both of them.
Kieran wasn't an idiot. When the secret passage appeared, he knew what was going on. Lawless and Starbeck's sudden outburst had messed up Rachel's plan.
Kieran did not know what Rachel wanted to do in the end.
But he knew that there was going to be one more name on the treatment list.
"A man-eater flower with hidden killing intent?"
Kieran muttered softly to himself while looking at Starbeck who was snoring. He then looked at Rachel who was walking towards him.
Rachel's light steps meant that she was in a good mood.
Since she was in a good mood, it meant that she had gotten quite the harvest.
"Here's your drink.
Honey water with some mint that I grew myself. "
Rachel pushed a drink in front of Kieran.
"If you need my help next time, please let me know."
Kieran took the glass and took a sip.
The rich sweetness instantly filled his mouth, but it didn't have the greasy taste of pure sugar, instead, it had the fragrance of the honey, together with the refreshing mint. Kieran couldn't help but take another sip.
When the sweetness and coolness collided on his tongue, Kieran couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction.
But he didn't forget to remind Rachel.
"I promise this is an accident!
I don't have any intention of dragging you into this mess.
"In my plan, you'll only interact with them once in the small hall. After that, you'll meet with the others …"
Who knew these two would go crazy all of a sudden. "
Rachel looked at her best friend, Lawless, and then at Starbeck. In the end, she put down the kitchen knife in her hand.
Of course, she didn't just let it go.
It was because the two of them were drunk, the punishment was too light.
At least she had to wait until the two of them sobered up.
"Yes, this is an accident.
That's why I'm sitting here, drinking the drink you made. "
Kieran nodded and said.
It was a reminder and a warning at the same time.
He was willing to believe Rachel because of Lawless and also because of the kindness she had shown him all this while, but it didn't mean Kieran would ignore this incident.
"I'm sorry."
After Rachel expressed her apologies once more, she quickly made up for it.
[Player Rachel wants to trade Nightmare Lasso with you. Yes/No?]
"Yes."
Kieran gave an affirmative answer.
A piece of Legendary-grade equipment or item was far more powerful than any words.
"This is a tool that I can make decisions on."
"The rest is Wu's necessary expenses."
The female tavern owner said.
Necessary expenses?
You need legendary equipment to use that card for divination?
Kieran guessed in his heart.
However, he didn't ask.
Kieran knew the rules between players.
No one likes to be snooped on.
This was especially true for the players in the big city.
Therefore, when faced with certain matters or situations, players preferred to use private messages to communicate.
Rachel and Kieran were no exception.
Rachel: Karles exchanged two pieces of information for his life.
Rachel: Both of them are relevant to us.
: Us?
Rachel: Yes, we.
Rachel: Molotov cocktail! Hilton!
…
Rachel replied in a private message.
Kieran's eyes instantly narrowed, and there was a glint in them.
…
Inside a secret hideout in the big city, Broker was rubbing his temples.
A part of his soul was destroyed, even for Broker, it was an extremely severe injury and it was accompanied by an unbearable sequela.
The cutting of the soul was ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than the flesh.
However, Broker was smiling even when he was enduring the pain.
"Although it failed, it's considered a success.
Next … "
"This is the real highlight of the show."
"2567 is really a surprising opponent, those so-called guardians, I really want to see your expressions when you face him!"
"Too bad, I won't be able to see it for the time being."
Broker muttered to himself as he stood up.
The registrar beside him quickly brought a glass of wine to him.
"[Osiris' Brew], I can't wait to taste it."
Broker then raised the glass and drained it in a single gulp.
Then, Broker slumped down on the chair and fell into the deepest slumber.
While Broker was in slumber, in a certain alleyway in the big city, a man suddenly woke up.
