Slaughter!
Before Kieran's eyes, a slaughter between players was taking place.
Swords and knives clashed, guns and cannons roared.
Agonizing cries sounded ceaselessly, white lights flashed.
In just a few minutes, more than 20 players had died.
The cause of the battle was a garden further away.
It was a garden filled with many kinds of herbs and half-completed healing potions.
The herb garden originally belonged to Broker.
However, after Broker hid in his own room, the place became ownerless. When Lawless and his men carefully approached the place, they realized that even the heavily guarded herb garden had been emptied. Everyone had retreated.
All that was left was a dazzling array of herbs and half-completed healing potions.
It was also these items that triggered the battle.
When one of the players placed the herbs and half-completed healing potions into his backpack, the battle broke out.
From a small skirmish between a few players to a full-blown guild war, it took less than two minutes.
"Damn it!
"I have a feeling that this is all set up by that bastard Broker!"
It's not just these two guilds, there are many similar battles happening outside of that bastard's properties! "
Lawless cursed softly after he received the latest news through PM. He took a deep puff of his cigar and asked, "What should we do?
That bastard is more decisive than I thought!
Trust me, Broker is not a bastard who is willing to spit out all the benefits that he has. Soon, he will take back everything and there will be interest! "
Kieran said in a heavy tone as he looked at the players fighting further away.
He knew very well that after this kind of slaughter, the guilds formed by the players would suffer heavy losses. When they were to face Broker's counterattack, one could only imagine how strong they would be.
Even if they didn't collapse at the first clash, they would still have a solid foundation.
Obviously, Lawless knew it as well.
"I'll tell those guys about the situation here, I hope they can calm down."
Lawless then started to contact the guild leaders that he was familiar with.
Looking at his friend, Kieran quietly shook his head in his heart.
Everything that happened before his eyes could no longer be stopped with a few words of persuasion.
Stop the players who had gone berserk?
Unless he personally took action now.
However, Kieran believed that his participation would not change anything. Instead, it would make the situation worse.
On top of that, Kieran speculated that Broker was eager for him, Lawless and the others to be dragged into the mess.
Humans die in pursuit of wealth, while birds die in pursuit of food.
Kieran could already imagine what kind of rumors would spread if he stopped the Players from killing each other and monopolized the benefits.
"2567 has discovered Legendary equipment in Broker's secret base!"
"2567 has found a Legendary Skill Tome in Broker's secret base!"
Such a rumor would definitely spread like wildfire among the players.
Kieran believed since Broker gave up all his properties, he must have prepared everything.
There might even be one or two Legendary items and Skill Books in certain places.
However, Kieran did not just sit there and do nothing.
"Tell the guild masters to pay attention to the people or factions that pick up the items from Broker's properties and start a conflict. They might be the spies that Broker left behind."
Kieran said.
Lawless was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting to the situation.
He quickly wrote all the messages and sent them to the guild masters that he was familiar with.
However, the few replies said it all.
"These bastards!"
Frustrated, Lawless hammered the wall beside him.
Huuhaa, Huuhaa.
His heavy breathing made Lawless look like a raging bull.
After more than 10 seconds, Lawless finally calmed down.
"What the hell is Broker trying to do?"
The first question popped up in Lawless' mind after he calmed down.
"I don't know.
"Do you know any of the people working with Broker in the secret bazaar?"
Kieran shook his head.
As for what Broker was up to, Kieran really had no idea.
Even if he had guesses, they were just guesses.
Compared to guesses, Kieran would rather start from the actual facts to get more information.
"I don't!
But someone does! "
Lawless answered.
"Starbeck?"
Kieran reacted right away.
"Em.
Come with me, let's talk to him. "
Lawless then turned around and headed to the train station.
Kieran quickly caught up to her.
…
The meeting with Starbeck went smoothly.
Kieran and Lawless met Starbeck in a very normal looking villa with a garden.
Of course, the 'normal' here was compared to Starbeck's identity.
Kieran's original guess was that the man lived in the palace.
He wasn't in casual clothes, wearing an apron and holding gardening tools in the middle of a small garden.
Starbeck was cleaning a potted plant with a pair of scissors and a watering can. Kieran was a little stunned. Starbeck's back against the light gave him an extremely tranquil aura.
He looked like a little white flower under the morning sun.
Kieran raised a brow and looked at his friend beside him.
Lawless walked over as if he didn't feel anything.
"Good day, Starbeck.
Can you introduce us to the few big shots in the secret bazaar other than Broker? "
After a simple greeting, Lawless said straightforwardly.
"What happened?"
Starbeck put down the gardening tools in his hand and looked at Lawless in confusion.
Lawless turned around and looked at Kieran. After Kieran nodded, Lawless told him what happened.
"I see."
Starbeck heaved a long sigh.
"You know?
Hurry up and tell me what happened! "
Lawless was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.
"I'm sorry.
I have a contract with Broker, so I can't tell a third person about this. I never thought Broker would be this afraid of you, 2567.
Seems like the chances of you being 'that' are quite high! "
Starbeck said with an apologetic tone.
He then looked at Kieran with an unusual gaze.
The unusual gaze reminded Kieran of a certain person's gaze when they saw a rare treasure.
Uncontrollably, Kieran frowned.
He didn't force Starbeck anymore though.
As a player, he knew the power of a contract.
"Damn it!
Damn cunning merchant! "
Lawless swung his fist with clenched teeth.
Although he knew Starbeck didn't mean any harm, his personality still scared him, causing him to shrink back and almost fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Kieran beside him held him up.
"Thank you.
"My personality will always cause trouble …"
Before his words subsided, Starbeck's body suddenly trembled as if he saw something scary.
At the same time, Kieran felt something warm in his arms.
