"I see!"
Kieran mumbled to himself.
The Title Dungeon Mission Scroll was the spoils of war from killing the killer player, Nobian.
Other than Kieran himself, no one else knew about it. Even Lawless, who had arrived later, did not know about it.
So how did Broker know about it?
It was simple. From the moment Nobian obtained the sub-scroll of the Title Dungeon [Blade of the Daybreaker], all his actions after that had been under Broker's surveillance.
The sub-scroll of [Blade of the Daybreaker] was actually a bait that Broker purposely put out.
It was all for the sake of 'fishing' out more killer players!
Broker must have known about the existence of the killer players a long time ago.
However, he chose to turn a blind eye for now.
The existence of these killer players was very beneficial to Broker.
Think about Broker's secret bazaar!
How many of the items were sold by the killer players?
Broker must have seen some clues from some of the items.
However, as time went by and Broker's power and influence grew, the killer players started to change their minds.
It was not that Broker did not want the killer players to continue to exist, but he needed a group of killer players who would listen to his orders and serve him.
However, the killer players hid themselves too well. Unless they exposed themselves, it would be hard to tell whether a player was a killer player or not.
That was why Broker needed a bait!
The Title Dungeon Mission Scroll was the bait!
All Broker had to do was slightly alter the information of the Title Dungeon Mission Scroll and purposely release some fake information to attract more killer players.
For example, a Title Dungeon Mission Scroll could bring 3 to 5 players into the dungeon at the same time.
Other than the real owner of the Title Dungeon Mission Scroll and the two Unique Titles, the Witch and Broker, no one else could tell the truth from the lies.
The Witch, who had left a long time ago, would not explain herself.
Broker, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, would not explain himself either.
As for the owner of the Title Dungeon Mission Scroll, would he explain himself?
Those who were blinded by greed would not believe him.
It was just that Kieran had appeared in the middle of the plan, forcing Broker to change his original plan.
However, from the looks of it …
"Broker did a good job!"
Kieran walked to the window and looked down.
Although the crowd that was quietly gathering below was used to walking in the shadows, for Kieran, who was at a high place, it was really clear at a glance.
"Did Broker tell you anything about the title dungeon?"
"And Coll's kidnapping?"
To confirm, Kieran asked Nightingale.
"It's a special dungeon world that allows five people to enter. It's not counted in the dungeon entries, but only one person can obtain the title in the end!"
"That bastard was also the one who ordered me to kidnap Coll and passed the information to Lawless!"
After hesitating for a moment, Nightingale told him what she knew.
"As expected …"
Kieran sighed in his heart.
Ye Xiao's words made him even more certain of his deduction.
What assassination attempt? What cooperation?
It was all a trap set up by Broker.
It was to bring them to this spacious square that was suitable for being surrounded.
Not only them, but the killer players as well.
"Bastard!"
Lawless cursed as he clenched his fists.
Lawless wasn't an idiot, after hearing Kieran's question to Nightingale, he instantly understood what was going on.
"Cursing will only make you look like a defeated dog barking furiously. It's pitiful and sad, think about what you should do now!
Those greedy bastards won't listen to your explanation! "
"Title Mission Scroll?
Tsk, what a tempting move … "
"Lucky little fella!"
Rachel scolded Lawless without holding back. She then looked at Kieran with a faint smile, causing Kieran's heart to skip a beat.
Once he thought about the techniques that Rachel displayed before, Kieran's scalp went numb.
If Rachel was also tempted by the title mission scroll, Kieran really couldn't do anything about it.
Kieran might be able to rely on his two trump cards in a direct confrontation, but if he was ambushed …
It would be fatal!
"Does this count as a crime of possessing a jade ring?"
Kieran mocked himself with a smile.
"Of course not!"
Lawless looked at Rachel with a serious gaze.
"It's a joke!
It's just a joke!
You two big men don't even have a sense of humor! "
Rachel asked again after glancing at the two of them in annoyance.
"What should we do now?
Those bastards downstairs might not be much, but they outnumber us. If I go alone, I can leave without a problem, but bringing you guys along is impossible! "
Rachel said.
"They don't need to bring us along, just 2567 will do. Their target is 2567, and once 2567 leaves, the situation will fall apart on its own!"
Lawless pointed at Kieran.
"But Broker still achieved his goal!"
His original target wasn't me, but the killer players downstairs. Think about it, when these killer players are forced into a desperate situation, how many of them will fight to the death?
I'm guessing most of them will choose to join Broker's side!
Now that we've completely fallen out with each other, will Broker, whose power has increased tremendously, let us go? "
He will surely send us an invitation to submit, and if we reject it, he will launch an all-out attack on us! When that happens, every time we return from the dungeon, other than the game lobby, the other places in the big city will be filled with danger!
So, I want to take a gamble!
Of course, it's also because I don't want to see Broker get what he wants. I'm a narrow-minded person, and I always seek revenge for the smallest grievance! "
Kieran said as if he was joking.
However, Lawless and Rachel sensed the seriousness in Kieran's tone.
Both of them knew it wasn't a joke.
"Yeah, let's take a gamble!
Worse comes to worst, I'll just play solo! "
Lawless agreed to Kieran's suggestion without a second thought.
Rachel didn't object either.
The three of them started to discuss softly.
Nightingale, who was sitting in the corner, was staring at Kieran with glimmering eyes.
Nightingale instinctively felt that something wasn't right with Kieran's straightforward conversation.
'Just because I showed my anger towards Broker, he's going to believe me?
He can't be that naive, right?
Or is he doing this on purpose, trying to lure me into passing the fake news to Broker? '
Nightingale was thinking.
She was just thinking, not hesitating.
As a killer, she had always considered her own benefits.
Whether it was in real life or in the game.
Canary was the same as well.
But there was something different. Hatred.
Her hatred towards Lawless made her more impulsive.
Or rather, stupid.
…
The people in the shadows downstairs were looking at each other with vigilance.
Looking at the entrance of the building that was right in front of them, none of them dared to take the first step.
That was because they knew very well that the first person to take that step would become the target of public criticism and be attacked by everyone.
The stalemate was still ongoing.
The atmosphere was getting tense and dangerous.
If this went on, someone would eventually make a move.
At that moment …
