The Underworld, Camp Kennedy

There were more than twenty thousand members from the Hall of the Exalted League. While supporting the defensive line of the camp, more than four thousand Tier 5 Classes were assigned to control the safe zone’s land force and air force. The area was tightly surrounded.

That aside, the atmosphere in Camp Kennedy, which was protected by a special barrier, was unusually serious. Dozens of players from the Demon Faction who were originally based in the campsite, some independent players from Angel Faction were also consistently being persuaded to go offline.

The players who were persuading them had the same League insignia, causing the members of the Hall of the Exalted to tremble—Fallen!

Although it was just a simple word, “Fallen”, the atmosphere was filled with a murderous and strong oppressive power as the camp fell under the solemn gazes of Fallen Angels’ members.

In such a short time of less than one minute…

The camp was filled with more than five hundred members from the Fallen Angels. Some sat against the wall, some stood on an evenly-sloped stone that was built using an Earth Skill while others flapped their Angelic Wings to hover over the camp within the barrier.

It was heavily occupied by people. Even the inspectors from the Hall of the Exalted who had snuck in to investigate the situation could not help but feel chills!

However…

The Hall of the Exalted was most terrified of the situation outside of the camp’s barrier, where four figures appeared in everyone’s field of vision…

Qin Ruo!

Majestic Hero! Scarlet Bauhinia! Black God!

All the Four Great League Masters from Angel Faction had gathered there…

Below, how could those Tier 5 Masters who originated from each major Clan not recognize those four individuals? It was also due to their clear awareness on the true strength of those four characters that no one dared to make a move even though a deadly order had been issued by their League Master: League members who were not originally from the Hall of the Exalted had to be executed once they left the camp.

What a joke…

Members from the Hall of the Exalted League would predictably be chased by more than two hundred and fifty thousand elites from the Four Great Leagues the next day onward if they were to launch an attack on those four people.

That was nothing…

They would have to pay a great price just to exterminate those four characters before eyes.

There were more than two hundred winged Champions in the camp. As long as the Four Great League Masters agreed to focus their attack in one direction, they would most likely breach the Hall of the Exalted’s defensive line.

Hence, as the person responsible for the safety of Camp Kennedy, Capricorn needed to “consult” Big Bruvver…

The Four League Masters had rushed there together and brought along a group of elites from the Fallen Angels. It was too strange!!

“Greeting four Lords…”

“What could be the reason for your visit?”

Even the usual almighty Capricorn could not stand facing the four calm League Masters. His blood ran cold, and he seemed to be at a loss.

He was most aware of the fact that Big Bruvver had wantonly swung Tier 5 Champions from Angel Faction over to his side…

It was not just Netherspirit’s Claw, the other Four Great Leagues were also slightly involved in some way. Other than the Fallen Angels League, members of the Four Great Leagues were there at Camp Kennedy’s defensive line as well.

In his mind, Capricorn clearly understood the situation.

‘If the four League Masters have come for this, the Hall of the Exalted is unfortunately in deep doo-doo this time!!

‘Oh, no! The fact that the Four Great League Masters came with their army without warning is already a sign of big trouble for the Hall of the Exalted… If this matter isn’t properly handled, the development plan… would probably go down to the drain.’

Once he received the news, Big Bruvver had immediately brought some people with him and rushed back there.

What Capricorn needed to do now was try his best to buy some time.

…

“The one named Big Bruvver should be rushing back once he gets the news…”

From the sky above of the camp, Black God looked down at the Hall of the Exalted League. It was as if they were facing a formidable foe. He had no intention of replying Capricorn, and he just looked at Qin Ruo.

“Let’s fight.”

“Since we are to fight them, might as well make sure that they are convinced whole-heartedly. Brother Black God, just hold on for a little while. I want to know the thoughts of the Hall of the Exalted’s League Master when he sees us.” Qin Ruo did not lower his volume. He continued in a self-deprecating tone as he spoke.

“After all, the four of us are unfortunate people who had our members raked. Let’s see if the one who swung the hoe will provide us a valid explanation?”

“That’s right, we cultivated the elites for such a long time while their League Master just took them away without a word. This is an account to be settled face to face.” Scarlet Bauhinia went along with the previous conversation while he smiled and looked at Capricorn, whose face had now turned deathly pale.

After he heard the conversation between the three of them, Capricorn broke out in a cold sweat…

The four League Masters did not even plan to conceal their intentions. They revealed their idea of attacking the Hall of the Exalted directly and the reason was the issue of “swinging their members over”, just as he had always been worried about.

Everything was clear now…

The only thing left now was to see if Big Bruvver’s arrival could solve the problem. Otherwise… they could just fight!

The opponent only had five hundred elites from the Fallen Angels and several veteran Champions. With more than four thousand Tier 5 Masters on hand, there could be a certainty of success. Besides, with Big Bruvver’s help, if he managed to get there in time, along with Snowmelt and Dark Dragon, it should not be a problem to defend the camp.

…

Big Bruvver brought Snowmelt, Dark Dragon, and a bunch of winged-Champions with him. He used the Return Scroll and teleported directly from Moonrise City to the Warp Portal near the camp. He rushed to the camp’s safe zone without a single halt.

From afar, he saw four aloof figures surrounded by thousands of his comrades in the air. He listened as the latest updates from Capricorn rang in his ears, a myriad of thoughts welling up within him. He constantly changed his ideas and thought of ways to resolve the enmity.

Meanwhile, behind Big Bruvver, Snowmelt and Dark Dragon did not expect Qin Ruo, who caused them to ditch the awkward combat with Netherclaw, to instantly pull them into a more critical scenario.

‘This fella!

‘Never gives us peace of mind!!’

How could they not know Qin Ruo’s strength after so many encounters with him?

That guy would never start anything without a thorough plan, and he never got his finger burned. This time…

They exchanged significant glances and gazed at Big Bruvver who was flying rapidly in front of them. They had a tacit understanding.

‘The Hall of the Exalted is screwed!’

…

“Haha, four Lords, four Lords, everything can be discussed.”

“I’ve been starving for talent lately, and I really acted hastily to the point that I overlooked your feelings. Why don’t we settle it this way, I’ll immediately prepare a feast in Moonlit Restaurant’s Great Winter Hall and punish myself by drinking three cups of liqueur. Besides, I’ll provide each of you a gift of five million as atonement! So, four League Masters, what do you think?”

No wonder he was the head of Prinz. He had already given away twenty million and a feast in Great Winter Hall the minute he spoke. Such a big expenditure and big respect to their pride.

Unfortunately…

His wild ambition could not be concealed.

Did he think that everything could be settled with money?

The four League Masters on the scene could not care less about the feast in Great Winter Hall, as well as the five million gold coins.

The four of them only took an aversion to his opening speech. It was not beneficial at all to the current situation…

“Everyone seems to be here…”

Black God glanced emotionally at the hundreds of winged Champions behind Big Bruvver, and suddenly blurted that sentence.

His statement came out of the blue, and Big Bruwer could not immediately grasp its meaning.

However, Capricorn and the other members of the Hall of the Exalted trembled because of what they heard! The attack was going to start without a negotiation?

“Hold on.”

Scarlet Bauhinia chimed in all of a sudden.

“A gift of five million each is such a big amount. Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to not give face ?” He calculated the cost loudly while he faced Big Bruvver on the opposite. Big Bruvver’s face brightened up instantly.

“Well, since the Hall of the Exalted thinks so highly of these traitors from Scarlet Dynasty, I’ll sell them to you. If my calculation’s right, the Hall of the Exalted swung eighty-seven people from five major Clans over to its side. After rounding off the figure, that’ll be four billion and thirty million gold coins. Hehe, transfer it then.”

Big Bruvver was shocked.

“What!”

The members of the Hall of the Exalted were stunned, as they originally thought that the five million gold coins were for each League Master. Looking at Scarlet Bauhinia’s serious expression, did he really think that the Hall of the Exalted’s League Master had such a deep pocket to buy each person with five million gold coins. Everyone shockingly looked over at Big Bruvver, who had an exceptionally weird and drawn face.

On the other hand, Black God rolled his eyes at Scarlet Bauhinia.

“F*ck you, I really thought you were lusting after the money. Five million a person, you really know how to plan thoroughly. And now I find it such a waste that more people were not dug over.

“Hehe.”

“You dare laugh, what if this guy can really spend the money? Do you plan on pulling out? Remember that no one has been taken from the Fallen Angels.”

Qin Ruo chimed in sarcastically right after that.

“He wouldn’t dare… If he compensated our loss, we should also request compensation for Netherspirit’s Claw. Do you think he’ll vomit blood?”

“Crap!”

Black God looked at Scarlet Bauhinia and Qin Ruo speechlessly.

“Did you guys plan this previously?

…

While the three of them conversed privately, Big Bruvver’s face turned extremely pale. He obviously could not agree with such a condition. Five million gold coins per person? Money should not be splurged like that even if they were rich! If this was to spread out, it would be over for the Hall of the Exalted!

Scarlet Bauhinia was lecturing him indirectly to stop faking if he was incapable!

Even so, he could only quietly suppress his anger…

Although there were not many people around the camp, if the veteran Champions from the Four Great Leagues were united, their strength would be destructive. The Hall of the Exalted may not be able to withstand the attack.

Immediately, with a cold face, he put in some effort to suppress his anger and spoke.

“League Master Scarlet Bauhinia, you must be joking. Why don’t all of you come up with the conditions? I, the Hall of the Exalted’s League Master, will try my best to fulfil the condition to resolve this misunderstanding… What do you say?”

“Now, that sounds more reasonable.”

Black God was mumbling. He did not even wait for Big Bruvver to calm his mind before he shifted his tone.

“Perhaps, you can release all the players that you’ve taken from the other Clans? Then we’ll be even… What do you say?”

There was silence.

This time, not only Big Bruvver, but even Capricorn and those behind them, including other members from the Hall of the Exalted below could hear Black God’s facetious tone.

That solution would be even more difficult to accept compared with spending money.

Release all those who were taken?

Would that not mean breaking up the League?

Sh*t!!

…

Even Scarlet Bauhinia, Qin Ruo, and Majestic Hero were stunned by the condition suggested by Black God. They looked at him with new perspective.

‘You’re, uh, so damn “talented”!’
