Chapter 882: A Big Mess of Porridge
Although Saint Peter was an NPC, he was no fool. In order to prevent the NPCs from being swindled by players, the system had added an anti-fraud detection component to the NPCs. Hearing Fearless words, Saint Peter’s ears pricked with caution. He stared at Fearless and said, “Find them? What if they take the opportunity to hurt me?”
Fearless replied patiently, “I guarantee you on the basis of my character. As long as you don’t provoke them, they will definitely not hurt you.”
“Hmm……” Saint Peter slightly smiled.
Liars that deceive people will think of all possible ways to cover their lies. As for a guarantee on the basis of character, can a liar really be counted on that?
Seeing that Saint Peter still did not take the bait, Fearless grinned widely as he attempted to express more friendliness, “How about this, if you don’t feel safe, how about you bring some of your men along?”
Fearless words once again sparked intense debate among the members of the Quan Zhen Sect.
“F*ck, sincerity? Bringing so many people to someone else’s doorstep, isn’t this provoking the other party for a fight?” Everyone was furiously arguing.
Fearless was unphased, “Hehe, you guys know nothing.”
“Is your intention to rile up both sides?” Wang Yu inquired after deliberating the matter.
In the rules of engagement in China, the proposing party would generally go alone to meet with the opposing party. This gesture displayed the courage and sincerity from the proposing side. Bringing so many people to someone else’s doorstep was a recipe for disaster.
“Oh, smart!” Fearless nodded as he gave a thumbs up to Wang Yu.
At this moment, Saint Peter had already come to his final decision after weighing the pros and cons of the matter. He said, “Alright, we will follow whatever you propose. Let’s go and meet for a discussion.”
As Saint Peter finally took the bait, Fearless smiled delightfully, “That’s great, on behalf of God, I thank you for your generosity and open-mindedness.”
Everyone was silently cursing in their hearts, “F*ck, using the name of God so presumptuously. Are you not scared of divine punishment?”
Fearless ignored the distasteful looks of the players from Quan Zhen Sect and calmly said, “Why, the gods have to actually thank me.”
Sure enough, once Fearless finished his piece, Saint Peter clutched the bible in his arms and gave Fearless a deep bow. He said, “I also thank you for your service, valiant warrior. You have brought the lost back onto the right part. You will be forever a friend to us.”
“.……” Upon seeing the situation unfold before them, everyone was clearly secretly surprised. Only Fearless could possibly manipulate someone to this extent.
Saint Peter began to gather all his subordinates. As the mobs slowly streamed into the residence, they followed behind the players and moved to the centre of the courtyard.
As Fearless approached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped in his steps and asked Saint Peter, “It is not a good idea to rush to visit them. I shall inform them in advance that you are going to visit.”
Fearless waved his hand and the players headed back into the courtyard.
“What is the situation now? Have they decided to repent” Seeing that the players had come back, Saint Joan quickly inquired.
“Saint Peter is going to sit down and have a discussion with you. What do you think of this arrangement?” Fearless asked simply.
Fearless knew there was going to be no conclusion to the matter if he continued allowing Saint Joan and Saint Peter in bickering nonstop.
Seeing that Saint Joan had so readily received his suggestion, Fearless said, “Saint Peter brought his men this time. I’m afraid things are not as simple as they look.”
“We have a lot of people on our side too!” Saint Joan snorted coldly and nodded to the nearby Saint Reina. With a wave of her hand, the whole courtyard of NPCs gathered behind Saint Joan.
“Where are they?” Saint Joan questioned Fearless with a confident air around her.
“.……” Fearless gestured, “They are just outside the door.”
“Yes!”
Saint Joan brought all her men as they walked outside the door to confront Saint Peter’s entourage.
Saint Joan and Saint Peter were two individuals that seemed very kind and genial on the surface. However, they could not hold back their squabbles everything when they see each other.
The two of them were discussing some philosophical questions on the theology of their faith. This kind of esoteric discussion could be understood by Uncle Bull. A layman could not possibly comprehend their discussion. Furthermore, Uncle Bull did not explain much about the content of what was discussed.
As the tempers began to show signs of fraying, the atmosphere grew tenser by the second. Captain Don’t Open Fire whispered over to Fearless, “Didn’t you say you wanted to resolve their animosity? Are you still not going to mediate?”
Fearless shrugged his hands and said, “This is not yet the time.”
The very next instant, Saint Peter finally threw the first move. One should not be deceived by his gentlemanly disposition. To think he was actually that bold to be the first to attack.
Saint Peter flashed out his staff and pointed menacingly towards Saint Joan’s head. He said, “I think it’s necessary for me to eliminate this mutant so that she can beg for mercy before God.”
“They are going to fight,” Captain Don’t Open Fire added anxiously.
Captain Don’t Open Fire was not worried that the rewards would be reclaimed by the system. He was anxious about the aftermath when these NPCs start fighting.
Fearless coolly stood his ground, “It doesn’t matter. When they fight, we are also going to take action.”

Fearless had just spoken those words when two damage values floated above the head of Saint Joan. Her HP almost fell by a third of its total. Captain Don’t Open Fire noticed that Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher had disappeared into the shadows.
Saint Peter was stunned as he looked curiously at the staff in his hand. His head was full of question marks as he wondered why the staff activated itself.
Just as Captain Don’t Open Fire was still contemplating the intentions behind the actions of Quan Zhen Sect, an angry roar sounded from within the crowd. “You dare to attack, do you really think we are afraid of you?”
The surrounding people were still recovering from the initial shock of Saint Peter’s attack when these words jolted them back into reality. Saint Reina did not waste another moment as she unleashed [Soaring Oceanic Dragon] and [Domineering Dance] is quick succession.
Of course, Saint John would also join in the action. He set a curse on Saint Reiner and directed his staff to strike Saint Reiner’s head. Saint Joan closed her palms for a moment and unleashed an icy Dragon that smashed into Saint John’s face.
The four bosses were intertwined in battle.
As their bosses had already begun fighting, their subordinates would definitely also join the fight. These violent guys were continuously screaming and fighting with skills being thrown all over. The fight was akin to a big mess of porridge.
As the two sides continued fighting, everyone silently retreated back to the courtyard. Who would want to put themselves in the battlefield out there?
At this time, Captain Don’t Open Fire was truly exasperated and inquired, “Fearless, are we not going to help resolve their differences? What has things turned into? If we cannot get past this, you need to take some of the responsibility.”
Although Quan Zhen Sect was not a guild to be provoked, Captain Don’t Open Fire definitely had to stand up for his guild in this matter.
This was clearly going to be a big mess. Void Blade was a respectable and big guild after all. How could they simply swallow this loss?
