A Major!
To have such a title and be related to the Vulture, it could only be the Vulture's secret dealer in the rebel army.
Kieran squinted his eyes and looked at the white screen of his phone. The ringtone kept ringing.
Kieran was about to hang up.
Kieran did not want to get involved with the rebel army in the city.
Kieran knew that after killing the Vulture, he was naturally standing on the opposite side of the rebel army. If he got involved, there would be a conflict.
Although he had easily killed the Vulture, it did not mean that Kieran had forgotten himself.
He knew exactly how he had killed the Vulture.
Other than his powerful in-game skills, he had taken advantage of the enemy's contempt for him.
From the beginning, the Vulture had never treated him as an equal opponent.
Because of that, he had been able to succeed again and again.
However, the army was different.
The army had its own discipline. They would not make the lowly mistake of an armed thug.
Even if the enemy was a rebel army, it was the same.
Coupled with the fact that they were well-trained and had more advanced equipment, as well as their numbers in the tens of thousands, it would be a hopeless battle.
Kieran did not want to face an entire army with just the two of them.
He raised his thumb and pressed the hang up button.
However, the moment his thumb touched the hang up button, Kieran stopped.
He remembered why he had entered the underground game.
It was to gather enough money to cure his illness.
Moreover, he only had one year in the real world.
It was not a long time. Based on Kieran's gaming experience, it would not be a long time if he converted it to game time.
Therefore, he needed to seize every opportunity in the game to quickly become stronger.
That was the only way he could achieve his goal of entering the underground game: to earn money.
Right in front of him was such an opportunity.
A rebel army major.
Killing a thug leader and killing a rebel army major were two completely different things.
Even though this was Kieran's first time in a dungeon, he was confident that as long as he could kill this rebel army major, his dungeon clearing evaluation would increase by at least one level.
Kieran pursed his lips tightly.
He pondered, hesitated.
Kieran knew very well that the reason why the reward was so tempting was because of the danger involved. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a slim chance of survival.
Once you die in the Underground Game, you're really dead!
Logic told Kieran that he had to give up for the sake of caution!
However, deep in his heart, Kieran was unwilling to give up. He asked himself, "I gave up because of the danger this time! Then … what about next time? "
The answer was self-evident.
If there was a first, there would definitely be a second.
If he retreated once, there would naturally be a second time.
Retreat again and again!
How many times was he allowed to retreat in a year?
"If I don't have enough money for treatment, I'll die in a year! I might as well take advantage of the time I have … and take a gamble! "
Kieran gritted his teeth.
Then, he raised his thumb and pressed the answer button.
"Vulture, I hope you've made me wait because you've brought me good news!"
A low, mechanical voice entered Kieran's ears through the phone.
Instantly, the image of a cold soldier appeared in Kieran's mind.
"If not, you'll know what will happen to you!"
The man did not wait for Kieran's reply and continued.
His tone was still mechanical, but there was a thick sense of aggression in his words, like a lion oppressing a jackal.
No doubt, this was the man's usual attitude when he spoke to the Vulture.
It seemed like the Vulture and the man were not on equal terms.
It was more like he was the vassal of the other.
Thinking about the Vulture's identity before the war, it was not impossible for something like this to happen.
Or rather, it was the right way to go about it.
On one side was a colonel in the rebel army, and on the other side was just the leader of a group of thugs. It would be a miracle if the two were really trading on equal terms.
If one of them was the vassal of the other, was the Vulture really just robbing women?
"Good news? It's definitely not a woman! It must be something else! "
Kieran looked at the tied up and gagged woman on the bed. Obviously, the "good news" the man was talking about was not the woman in front of him.
Slightly frowning, Kieran tried to guess the man's real intentions.
Then, he had a sudden flash of inspiration.
Kieran thought of the first line of the dungeon's background introduction.
"War suddenly engulfed the city, the people were caught off guard."
This was a city that had suddenly erupted into chaos.
When the war broke out, how many people could take away all their wealth?
The answer was none.
No one could take away all their wealth when the war broke out.
If they could leave with a small part of their wealth, they would be blessed by God.
In fact, if they could survive the war, they would be considered lucky.
You could not ask for more in a war.
However, there were exceptions.
For example, the rebel army major who was talking to Kieran.
The major's identity, power, and the Vulture's vassal were enough for the major to do things that others dared not and could not do.
Kieran's mind raced. After figuring out the key points, a bold plan appeared in Kieran's mind.
Then, Kieran spoke.
"The Vulture? You're looking for that guy? I'm sorry, but if you're looking for him, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Now, including in the future, everything here is under my control! "
His voice was slightly excited, and his tone was even more agitated.
Kieran acted like a thug who had just been promoted to a higher position, and he couldn't contain his joy.
The major was silent.
After a full three seconds, the major spoke again.
"I don't care who you are! If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better finish what the Vulture promised me! "
The major's mechanical tone did not change even though the person on the line had changed.
"Are you threatening me?"
Kieran asked with the same tone as before.
"I'm just stating the facts! Don't forget where the food you eat and the water you drink come from! "
The major replied.
This time, Kieran did not answer right away. He pretended to be quiet.
He wanted to act like a new boss who was eager to establish his position, but in order to maintain his position, he had to give up his dignity.
This was because the other party had the initiative!
Without the major's supply of food and water, no matter who it was, no one could make the thugs behave themselves and listen to orders.
Kieran was not sure whether his performance was perfect or not.
Only by doing so could he numb the major.
Letting the major believe that everything was under his control.
Only by doing so could Kieran seize the initiative and transfer the wealth that the Vulture did not give to the major and use it as an opportunity.
In other words, Kieran wanted to temporarily calm the major.
Kieran did not want to be trapped in the underground storeroom of the shopping mall by the rebels who had rushed out of the camp in less than 10 minutes.
Although the rebel forces had been working and resting regularly lately, Kieran believed that once there was a specific order, they would not mind coming out to do something.
"Do you know who you are now?"
Facing Kieran's silence, the man's mechanical tone had an extra sense of mockery.
It was like a lion looking at an ungrateful rabbit strutting around in front of it.
"Fine! Fine! You are the boss, so I'll agree to what the Vulture promised you! It's just a bunch of women, and the Vulture has one in his room! "
Kieran's voice sounded a little reluctant, but it also sounded like he was trying to please the major.
It was very awkward.
"Women?"
The major snorted in disdain, then continued with his mechanical tone, "What I want are jewels and priceless artworks … Since you are in the Vulture's room, you will see them! I'll send someone to get them tomorrow morning, and I'll also bring you more supplies! "
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
"As expected!"
Kieran thought to himself as he stared at the phone that had been hung up.
The other party did not nurture a vassal like Vulture for the sake of women!
The major's disdain was enough to explain everything.
What the major wanted was … the wealth of the entire city!
Kieran's eyes unconsciously turned to the side of the bed. There were two large wardrobes beside the wall. Other than the bedside table in front of him, this was the only place in the whole room that could be used to store items.
As for the iron cage in the corner of the room?
With a single glance, Kieran understood the purpose of its existence.
Kieran turned around and looked at the lady whose limbs were tied up.
"Hello, I mean you no harm! Now, I will take out the rag in your mouth, but you have to promise me that you won't scream or do anything that will put us in danger. Although I killed the Vulture, he still has a dozen of his subordinates outside! If you understand what I mean, then nod! "
The moment Kieran's words subsided, the lady, whose limbs were tied up and mouth gagged, nodded.
"Very well!"
