Three hours later, Kieran and Lawless met up again at the train station outside the Harvest Inn.
"Are you ready?"
Lawless asked with an apologetic tone that he could not hide.
"Of course!"
"But if you can get rid of that look that you owe me a million dollars, I think I'll be more prepared!"
Kieran smiled and said.
He hoped to use these words to dispel the guilt in Lawless' heart.
He knew what Lawless was thinking. It was none other than his own problem, but he had dragged his friend into it, and now he had to bear a huge risk with him.
For Lawless, it was hard for him to accept such a thing.
However, if he allowed Lawless to take the risk alone, Kieran would feel terrible and would not be willing to accept it.
Kieran knew what he had to do.
He also knew that this would put him in danger.
However, Lawless had helped him in the past, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Furthermore …
Shouldn't friends appear at this time?
"You know …"
"Alright, I'll shut up!"
Lawless wanted to say something, but when he saw Kieran pointing his middle finger at him, he smiled bitterly and shrugged.
However, Lawless did not shut up like he said he would.
Instead, he took out two cigars, lit them up in the crudest way possible with an oil lighter, and tossed one to Kieran.
"Want one?"
"Although it saves a lot of work, the taste is great!"
"Can I refuse?"
Kieran looked at the lit cigar in his hand.
Smelling the thick smoke with a hint of liquor, he was sure that it was still too early for him to try this cigar.
"Of course not!"
"Try it, you'll like it!"
Lawless was very sure of it and emphasized his words.
Kieran frowned. He carefully put the cigar to his mouth and took a puff.
Suddenly, a strong and stimulating smell rushed into his mouth.
Kieran coughed uncontrollably.
She even shed tears.
"How is it?"
"Does it taste great?"
Lawless patted Kieran's back hard, trying to make Kieran feel better, but the words that came out of his mouth made Kieran roll his eyes.
If it wasn't to make the guy in front of him feel better, he wouldn't have tried a cigar of this level.
However, the smell of the cigar …
Not bad?
When the coughing subsided, Kieran could feel a different feeling emerging from his body.
It was not a smell, nor was it an ethereal smoke.
Instead, it was a sense of novelty brought about by trying something unknown.
With such a fresh feeling, Kieran mimicked Lawless and held the cigar in his mouth.
"Congratulations on completing your coming of age ceremony!"
Lawless put his arm around Kieran's shoulder and chuckled.
For the next few minutes, the two of them chatted idly.
That was until Broker sent a message to him.
"Old Stray Street?"
"What kind of trick is this guy playing?"
Lawless frowned when he saw the message from Broker. He then explained the so-called Old Stray Street to Kieran.
Old Stray Street was originally called Stray Street.
It used to be a very prosperous street.
A lot of players were born there.
During its peak, the street was filled with shops selling food, alcohol, weapons, equipment, enchantments, and potions.
It was the place where all the veterans gathered during normal times.
Until …
A new veteran player had unintentionally provoked the Witch.
Then, the whole street was destroyed. The players who were with him were not spared either.
Other than the lucky players who stayed in their own rooms, 20 other players died on the spot. Many more were affected by the aftermath.
After the incident, Stray Street, which was regarded as an ominous place, was removed from people's sight.
A new street appeared to take its place.
The original Stray Street was renamed Old Stray Street by the players.
As for the new street?
It was called Lawns Street.
It was the place where Broker truly made his fortune.
"The old street was destroyed and the new street was born. And it just so happened to fall into Broker's hands?"
Kieran raised a brow after he heard the explanation.
No matter how he looked at it, it felt like a conspiracy.
"I think it's Broker's doing, right?
"That's what everyone else thinks too!"
If it wasn't the Witch who did it, people would think that he was the mastermind behind the scenes! But the one who did it was the Witch … "
"Who else could have ordered her around?
"In addition, it was indeed that inexperienced newbie who provoked the witch. Thus, what happened in Old Strea Street was considered an accident. As time passed, everyone became more and more afraid of the witch, but nothing else changed!"
Lawless shrugged again as he spoke.
"Let's go?"
He asked.
"Yes."
Kieran nodded.
Although he still felt that something was wrong, Kieran knew what he had to do.
…
Following Broker's message, they arrived at a dilapidated street at the edge of the big city.
If Lawless hadn't told Kieran beforehand that this used to be a prosperous street, he wouldn't have been able to associate the dilapidated and smelly street with the word prosperous.
Kieran carefully avoided the dirty water under his feet.
"This place was obviously rebuilt, so why did it stop halfway through?"
Kieran asked in confusion as he looked at the dilapidated buildings.
"Because of the loss of players!
"The person who designed the Giant City Builder program was a very practical guy. As long as there were players, everything would be normal. If the players left, then it would descend into desolation. After that incident, no more players were willing to continue coming to Old Strea Street. Without sufficient purchasing power, the players who wanted to stay in Old Strea Street couldn't hold on any longer and moved away one after another."
That's why the whole street ended up like this! "
Lawless' tone was filled with sorrow.
"I see!"
Kieran nodded after understanding more about the rules of the underground game.
The two of them picked a place that was not as dirty and upwind, where they could avoid the stench as much as possible and waited for Broker's next message.
This time though, the wait was a little long.
More than 10 minutes had passed and there was no news at all.
Kieran and Lawless looked at each other.
Both of them were already vigilant against Broker, and their hearts felt that something was not right.
Therefore, when a series of footsteps sounded, both of them were ready for battle.
