Outside 13 Wallway Street, the sun was shining brightly, and the gentle breeze that blew past made one feel comfortable and satisfied.
If it wasn't for the person before him, Kieran would have stopped, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the rare moment, but the person before him made Kieran frown.
No doubt, Kieran hated Alisritter a lot.
However, Alisritter didn't have the same self-awareness. When he saw Kieran, he put down the hammer on his shoulder and laughed out loud. "I heard you had some decent rewards in the dungeon world just now?"
"Mm.
But it shouldn't be much to you, right?
Then … "
"What are you here for?"
Kieran said in a heavy tone, his words were filled with vigilance.
Kieran clearly remembered how Alisritter simply gave him a piece of Legendary equipment. It was natural that someone who could do that would not be here just for a piece of Legendary equipment.
Therefore, Alisritter must have other goals.
A person that he only met once and had other goals appeared before Kieran. Based on Kieran's character, how could he not be vigilant?
"Relax.
You are my second target, why would I make a move on you earlier? "
Swordsmith Alisritter smiled and waved his hand.
"So, should I feel honored?"
Kieran's furrowed brows got tighter.
He had expected Alisritter to be a huge problem, but to Kieran's surprise, Alisritter was even more troublesome than he had expected.
What kind of trouble was the most annoying?
The kind that came to him on his own.
Just like Alisritter before him.
"Feel honored?
No, no, no.
I'm not like some shameless bastard, but I think we can at least work together against a common enemy.
Especially when some bastards have their eyes on us. "
Alisritter waved his hand repeatedly, his voice unconsciously turning serious.
"Some bastards?"
Kieran raised a brow.
There were definitely a lot of people who had their eyes on him.
Other than Broker, the biggest threat, there were also the so-called Guardians and the killer players who had vanished without a trace.
Of course, in addition to these, there were also some enemies that Kieran couldn't name, but if there was a conflict of interest, there would definitely be enemies.
The reason why society was cruel was ultimately because of the conflict of interests.
It would make people forget about family, friendship, and even choose to be betrayed.
As for the gigantic city?
It's more realistic.
This was because as long as you forgot your bottom line, it would be much easier to 'obtain' things here.
"Yes, some fellows who think they are very secretive."
"I haven't really found them, but I've found their tails."
"So, I thought I should remind you."
"After all, if you were to die in the hands of those bastards, I would be very distressed."
Alisritter laughed out loud after the unpleasant words, and he didn't bid farewell to Kieran, turning around and leaving.
Kieran's brows furrowed again as he stared at his opponent's back.
It was not only because of his way of doing things, but also because of his reminder.
If what Alisritter said was true, those bastards …
"Don't underestimate them!"
Kieran would never underestimate anyone.
His arrogance and contempt were mostly battle tactics to infuriate his enemies.
As for the truth?
Kieran would always be careful in every battle.
The story of failing miserably in an easy task sounded interesting, but Kieran would never be willing to be the main character of the story.
With some caution, Kieran took the train to Harvest Inn.
After he entered the inn, some of the caution went away, but some of it remained.
Multiple experiences told Kieran that even the game lobby wasn't completely safe.
Kieran glanced over the unusually lively tavern before him.
There were familiar faces like Hanses, Coll, Raven, Ramont, and so on.
There were also people he knew but wasn't familiar with, such as Rhinoceros and General.
However, most of the people in the inn were lone wolf players that Kieran didn't know.
On top of that, all the lone wolf players had one thing in common: they habitually stood in the corner or in the shadows.
It was obvious that all the players were attracted by [Cunning Viper Sword].
"2567, what the …!"
Lawless's loud voice was extremely eye-catching in the inn. Right away, Kieran became everyone's focus.
He nodded at the familiar faces and glanced over the ones he knew. Kieran ignored the gazes from the rest and walked to the bar counter.
"Please."
Rachel, who was behind the bar counter, served him a glass of honey lemonade.
"Because of them?"
Kieran took the glass and asked.
"Rachel has just set the minimum cost to enter the inn … 50 Points."
Lawless moved closer to Kieran and whispered in a low voice.
Kieran glanced over the almost a hundred players in the lobby, but he didn't say anything. He took a sip of his sweet drink and gave a big thumbs up to Rachel.
Rachel seemed to enjoy it a lot.
"I'll buy you another drink."
A faint golden drink was then placed in front of Kieran.
The rich apple aroma made Kieran take a deep breath uncontrollably.
Lawless twitched his nose as well.
"This isn't fair!
This isn't fair!
I have a share in this as well!
Why does 2567 have a share?!
Why don't I?! "
"Pay me back! Pay me back what you owe me and I'll buy you a drink too! "
Lawless grumbled in dissatisfaction, but when Rachel said something, Lawless quickly quieted down. He crawled on the bar counter like a noodle and turned around, grabbing Kieran's shoulder. He moved his head closer to Kieran and said softly, "I really want to listen to your jokes now."
"Jokes?"
Kieran was stunned.
He didn't remember when he joked around.
"Just now."
Hmm, 2567, you really should joke more.
Smile more, don't be as cold as ice. "
Lawless tapped his friend's shoulder hard, as if he was glad that his friend had changed under his influence.
"Just now?"
Kieran slightly frowned, he knew what Lawless was talking about. He quickly emphasized, "I'm serious just now, I'm not joking."
Lawless was stunned on the spot as if he was struck by lightning.
His hand that tapped Kieran's shoulder also froze in mid-air.
"2567, you've changed.
"He's not the 2567 I know anymore."
I'm hurt … "
Pak!
Lawless said in a tearful tone, but before he could finish, an ice bucket filled with ice cubes was placed on his head.
"Disgusting."
Rachel grunted coldly.
Kieran raised his glass in agreement.
However, just as Kieran was about to taste the sweetness in his glass, Wu, who was wearing a heavy grayish-brown robe, quietly appeared in the inn.
"What happened to you?
Why did you … "
"Can you come with me for a while?"
