Rachel put down her glass and turned around, looking at Kieran with a gaze that she never had before.
Her gaze was serious and sharp, like a knife.
Kieran looked back at her calmly and briefly told her what happened through PM.
After he finished, Kieran could clearly feel Rachel's relaxed expression.
It seemed like Rachel wasn't surprised about how to kill someone in the game room, she was more concerned about the problem itself.
: What happened?
…
Kieran asked through PM.
Kieran wasn't really confident about Rachel's answer.
Although he often appeared in Harvest Inn, the real reason why he came here, other than Lawless' constant invitations, was the convenience of selling items.
The real reason why he contacted Rachel was also because of Lawless.
Other than that, he didn't have any other personal contact with Rachel.
Therefore, when Rachel gave him an answer, Kieran was very surprised.
Rachel: Someone wanted to hire me to eliminate a certain threat with 'outside the game', but … I failed.
…
It was a short answer, but it contained an extraordinary message.
"'Unplanned moves'?"
A certain threat? "
Kieran muttered in his heart, his squinted eyes suddenly widened.
Outside the game, as the name suggested, was an improper move that deviated from the scene before him.
What was before him?
The game!
That was a move outside of the game.
What kind of threat was worth hiring Rachel to eliminate outside the game?
The Witch!
Other than that, Kieran couldn't come up with any other answer.
Right away, Kieran sent out a PM.
Rachel: Yep, the Witch.
Rachel: Then I failed.
: Failed?
…
Kieran couldn't hold back his question.
Rachel seemed to have fallen into some bad memories, she only came back to her senses after two to three seconds.
Rachel: Yes, I failed.
Rachel: A mission that was supposed to be easy turned into a series of accidents! It's like … the whole world is going against you!
Rachel: And the weirdest thing is, it only happens when you face the Witch!
…
"As if the whole world is against you?"
"Only the Witch can do this?"
"Destiny's Child?"
Kieran couldn't help but think of a book called "Destiny's Child" in Nikorei's small study.
The entire book was very thick, with more than two hundred pages, but the contents were all the same.
Most of them were short stories in which the protagonists faced difficulties that ordinary people could not imagine, but unexpectedly successfully solved them.
Among them, what left the deepest impression on Kieran was that no matter how powerful the enemy was, when facing the protagonist, they would always become nutrients for the protagonist's growth.
And every time the main character survived a disaster, he would become stronger and stronger until he finally defeated the powerful enemy that he should have been unable to defeat.
In Kieran's opinion, there were many unreasonable points in the story, but it was undoubtedly the best reading material to kill time. Moreover, the positioning of the book itself was also entertainment.
The reason why Kieran had finished reading the book was because the author was Nikorei.
He wanted to find more and possibly more hidden knowledge from it.
But in the end, he was disappointed.
However, there was a sentence in the book that Kieran remembered.
"Don't go against the Destiny's Child, because you will be hated by the whole world!"
Hated by the whole world? What would that be like?
Choking to death while drinking water?
Getting hit by a car?
Or getting struck by lightning?
Just the thought of it made Kieran shudder.
"What a terrifying Witch …" Lin Feng muttered to himself.
Kieran muttered softly before he sent another message.
Rachel: Then?
Rachel: Of course it's the Witch's revenge.
Rachel: "The Witch is cruel and merciless when it comes to her old friends. Anyone who had anything to do with her was killed. Even the lucky ones who managed to hide in their game rooms didn't escape."
Rachel: Don't worry, the 'Witch' didn't hire us. Those guys have already lost a lot of their strength in the battle with the Witch. Facing a new dungeon world, only death awaits them.
Rachel: Are you curious as to why I survived?
…
Kieran nodded without hiding it.
Rachel picked up her glass and took a sip of sweet wine before she continued to send the message.
Rachel: Because I paid the same price.]
Rachel: The same price as your life?
…
Rachel didn't answer. Both of them fell into silence.
Kieran believed Rachel must have paid a hefty price.
Just like how he believed Karles wouldn't be stupid enough to leak his address.
Likewise, Karles wouldn't sign a contract that would threaten his own safety.
Other than those two points, what else could it be?
Kieran fell into deep thought while he was in doubt.
Coincidentally, at this moment, another lone wolf came to the tavern.
Kieran's eyes shone when he saw the lone wolf come in.
"The game room can block the danger from outside the room!
But what if the danger is hiding inside the room?
I'm afraid as long as a certain price is paid, the impossible murder can be accomplished! "
Kieran thought of Allen, the abandoned son of Broker.
Allen was forced to use [10X Cooldown Reduction Card] on Kieran and the whole process was done in Kieran's game room.
If the [10X Cooldown Reduction Card] was swapped for some other lethal item …
Kieran might not even need to mobilize his own men to complete the murder.
The only thing he had to prove was …
Whether there was such an item or whether there was someone who could hide the true identity of the item.
Right away, Kieran sent a message to Rachel.
Rachel: Who knows?
Rachel: The big city is changing every day, even those of us who entered first have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the underground game.
Rachel: No one can be sure what kind of skill or item will appear.
Rachel: If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. 2567, in such a short period of time, you have reached the level where you could go against Gods.
…
Rachel obviously didn't want to talk about such things anymore, so she shifted the topic back to Kieran's original question.
Rachel: You know?
…
"Of course!
But the price isn't cheap, eh? "
This time around, Rachel didn't send a message to Kieran, instead, she spoke directly.
Kieran looked at Rachel holding the glass of wine and looking relaxed.
Somehow, Kieran's heart started to ache.
Huu, Huu!
Kieran took a few deep breaths, thinking he was fully prepared before he asked, "How much?"
