"How much?"
Lawless couldn't hold back his cry of shock.
"Five million Points!
I'm sure this amount of Points isn't a joke.
Those who can fork out that many Points wouldn't be joking either. "
Blair smiled bitterly and answered again.
"Five million Points!
I never thought my head would be this valuable!
Such a huge amount of Points, if it wasn't for my life, I would sell myself! "
Kieran exclaimed in admiration.
Thanks to his initial choice, Kieran was able to gain unimaginable wealth from every dungeon world he explored with all his might.
However, it was extremely difficult for him to fork out five million Points in one go.
Unless he sold his core equipment and items.
But it wasn't realistic.
Quenching thirst with poison and killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, Kieran would never do something that would make him lose money.
Likewise, Kieran believed others wouldn't do something that would make him lose money.
Therefore, those who were willing to fork out five million Points on his bounty either had a deep grudge against him or … had ulterior motives!
Coincidentally, Alisritter had given him a reminder just now.
"Is it the same group?
"Or another group of people?"
Kieran wondered in his heart.
While Kieran was guessing, Lawless slammed the table and stood up.
"Broker!
It must be that bastard!
That damned bastard! "
After going through a series of incidents, Lawless's initial vigilance against Broker had turned into a gnashing of his teeth.
If there was a chance to kill Broker, Lawless wouldn't hesitate to pull out his gun and blow Broker's head off.
Therefore, when he realized someone was offering an unimaginably high bounty on Kieran's head, Lawless unconsciously thought of Broker.
It was very natural for him to think about it.
First, Broker and Kieran had a grudge against each other.
Second, Broker was rich.
No matter how one looked at it, Broker fit the description of the person who issued the bounty perfectly.
Lawless was not the only one who thought so, the other lone wolf players around him shared the same thought.
"That guy still doesn't know pain."
"We should wipe out that guy's stronghold again!"
Lamont suggested.
His suggestion was immediately approved by all the lone wolves except Coll.
"Don't you think this is a little too deliberate?"
"The problem has just appeared and he already has the answer. This is different from the Broker I know."
"According to that guy's style of doing things, if he wants to plot something, we won't know what he's thinking until the very last moment."
Perhaps it was a girl's meticulousness or her sixth sense, but Cole always felt that something was wrong.
The lone wolves were stunned when they heard his words.
None of the Mavericks were fools. Perhaps they were adept in different aspects or had different personalities. Some were hot-tempered, while others were calm. However, they were always the quickest to react when faced with a problem.
As for those with slow reactions?
Just like the number of players that joined the city, many players disappeared from the city every day.
"Someone is digging a trap for us?"
Hans rubbed his chin.
"It's not just digging a hole. Think about the 5 million Points. Other than Broker, who else could gather so many Points without affecting their development?"
Rhino laughed coldly.
The other lone wolves exchanged gazes, obviously having guesses in their hearts.
"I still have some clues.
I ran into Alisritter before this.
I don't know whether these people are in cahoots with the bounty hunter or not, but I'm sure of one thing. Their appearance at this time is much bigger than what we thought! "
"5 million Points isn't a small number. If they are willing to use it as bait, they will surely get more."
“1000w？ 2000w？”
"Maybe even more."
Kieran told the lone wolves about what happened earlier. He then glanced over at the lone wolves who were obviously shocked by the number of Points. His face that was covered curled up into a grin.
"Then …
"Should we do something big?"
Kieran asked.
"Of course!
Those bastards are making their move, are we still going to be a coward? "
"That's right!
"I will never be a coward!"
Rhino was the first to agree with Kieran's suggestion. Lamont then added.
"Yeah, let's do something big!"
Hanses and Coll exchanged gazes and nodded at the same time.
Then, everyone turned their attention to Raven the Loner.
Just like his title, although he joined the group discussion, he had no intentions of speaking. From the start to the end, he was hugging his cat and sitting there in silence.
Only when everyone turned to look at him did Raven raise his head.
He nodded.
He signaled that he agreed.
As for Lawless?
No one asked, but it didn't mean they didn't respect Lawless's opinion. Everyone knew that if his friend was in trouble, Lawless wouldn't stay out of it.
"Um … Um … Can we join in?"
Garwen and Blair asked hesitantly.
"Of course!"
Lawless nodded and looked at his friends around him. Everyone seemed to have a telepathic connection as they said in unison, "Welcome to the team!"
…
Kieran didn't take charge of the arrangements, plans, and countermeasures after that, leaving it to Lawless and the others.
There was strength in numbers.
This logic was applicable anywhere, especially when a group of lone adventurers gathered together in a dungeon world. Based on their vigilance and adaptability, the plan they came up with might not be the most perfect, but it would be the safest.
Kieran, who understood the logic, played the role of a bystander.
After everyone else made their move, Kieran made his move as well. He returned to 13th Wallway Street.
It wasn't running away.
It was …
Waiting!
Waiting for the 5 million bounty to ferment!
Waiting for those who were blinded by the bounty to jump out at him.
In simple words, Kieran had temporarily become a bait.
Kieran didn't mind it though.
Instead, he was more than happy to do so.
After all, it was quite a considerable amount of extra income.
As for the pity and kindness towards the weak?
Sorry.
From Kieran's point of view, those who were blinded by the bounty were already his enemies when they attacked him.
In Kieran's dictionary, there was only one word when it came to dealing with enemies: kill!
Carrying his backpack, Kieran got off the train and slowly headed back to his room.
His Intuition was scanning the area.
Fire Raven acted as his eyes and didn't miss a single detail.
Kieran would never underestimate anyone, especially the players in the big city. No one knew what kind of special items or skills those players might have.
However, Kieran didn't find any enemies around his room.
Instead, he saw …
Starbeck.
Starbeck with a basket in his hand.
"I've baked some cookies and brought some tea!"
Starbeck raised the basket in his hand.
"I can smell it. It's cream cookies, strawberries and oranges."
Kieran couldn't hold back his smile as he walked up to the door and opened it.
