  “???”


  The players from Quan Zhen Sect knew that Wang Yu’s sixth sense was nothing to be scoffed at. Upon receiving his warning, they immediately tensed up and turned around to look at the entourage that Feng Yun Realm brought with him.

  Feng Yun Realm looked at the Quan Zhen Sect with a cheeky smile on his face as his subordinates looked at them menacingly.

  The Assassin with a dagger in the scabbard and the Warrior with the tower-like shield was a familiar figure to the players from the Quan Zhen Sect. They were Ratty and Tiger respectively.

  There were a few other players at the back who were well dressed and they looked tough as nails.

  Sensing the unfriendly intentions from the newcomers, the Quan Zhen Sect readied themselves for an imminent confrontation. Fearless stood up and grinned, “Aiya, Young Master Feng, you are finally here.”


  “Hmph!” Feng Yun Realm sneered coldly, “Don’t talk so much nonsense! How do you want to settle our debt?”


  “Haha!” Fearless chuckled loudly as he replied, “That will depend on how many gold coins you want to buy, beyond ten million I can give you a preferential rate of 1:50……”


  “Ten million? Haha!”


  Not evening waiting for Feng Yun Realm to reply, “Stop messing with me, you know my intentions!”


  “Oh?” Fearless displayed a puzzled expression as he continued, “What does Young Master Feng mean?”


  “Stop your pathetic act.” Feng Yun Realm scoffed. “What were you doing in Freedom City yesterday? You guys had to gall to rob this master. You don’t know who you are messing with.”


  “Oh……” Fearless smiled at him and without missing a beat, he answered, “Master Feng needs to know that you cannot throw such accusations around with evidence.”


  “Evidence?” Ratty stood out from the back and pointed at Fearless, “The City Lord Seal and your skills are all evidence. Do you still want to deny?”


  “Deny? Haha……” Fearless cracked with laughter, “We have never denied doing it.”


  “You!!”


  Feng Yun Realm was immediate riled up upon Fearless’ provocation.

  Wow, it was rare to find someone that was so shameless. Fearless was so full of himself that he was so sure that Feng Yun Realm could not do anything to him even though he knew the truth.

  The equipment implosion rate is too low. If, not Feng Yun Realm would have already directed his subordinates to kill them.

  “Don’t be too arrogant!” Feng Yun Realm harrumphed, “This is my Sky Dragon City’s territory and not your Twilight City. I will give you two choices, first is to give up your equipment and compensate us with two million gold coins, if not……”


  “Stop talking!” Feng Yun Realm did not even finish his sentence but Fearless had already interrupted him, “We are a one-way piggy bank. We do not give up whatever we have taken.”


  “F*ck! You are so shameless! That’s my equipment after all. Why is it not my right to claim it back?”


  Feng Yun Realm was boiling with indignation and he raised his sword and pointed it at Fearless’ nose.

  “Hehe!”


  Although Feng Yun Realm escalated the confrontation with his provocation, Fearless showed no fear as he coldly sneered, “Is it so that Master Feng has not played the game before? The strong preys on the weak. Stealing equipment, stealing BOSS is just part and parcel of the game. It is completely within the bounds of the game that I can steal your equipment. Why do you act so self-righteously? Don’t tell me you haven’t done this before!”


  “F*ck……”


  Feng Yun Realm had no conceivable counter-argument to dispute Fearless’s remarks.

  Yes, it was indeed true that the strong preyed on the weak and the strong were the victors that could claim everything for themselves.

  Using Feng Yun Realm’s argument in a real-life scenario, it was akin to taking pity on your enemies and even going over to them to give them some supplements.

  For games like <>, the rules of engagement were clear for all to see.

  Other than hacking and cheating, a player was free to do anything within the bounds of the game.

  That said, Feng Yun Realm was not a saint himself. Even in the case whereby Quan Zhen Sect gave up their equipment and paid them compensation, how could Feng Yun Realm possibly let them off the hook? What a joke, Fearless was not going to be lied to once again.

  Feng Yun Realm’s intentions were probably to coerce the Quan Zhen Sect to hand over their items before robbing them clean again.

  “So what conditions do you have to return us our equipment?”


  Ratty pranced forward and inquired.

  “Good question!” Fearless gestured towards him with thumbs up, “This is a simple matter. You can simply spend gold coins to get it back…… I know that Young Master Feng is lacking in gold coins so we can use cash to trade. Don’t worry, although you have accused us of some crimes, our reputation precedes us. You can go and ask Sky Dragon City’s Nine Solitary Spears if you have further doubts.”


  “What if we don’t want to pay for it?” Ratty’s hardened his expression as he asked.

  “That’s reasonable too.” Fearless chuckled, “As long as you can take the equipment away from us, we have nothing to say about it!”


  “F*ck!!”


  As soon as Fearless spoke, the whole group of players brandished their weapons.

  Ratty narrowed his eyes into slits as he stared at Fearless, “I know that Quan Zhen Sect has a terrifying reputation but the Twelve Celestial Bodies is also not to be trifled with. Do you take us to be easy to bully?”


  “What the f*ck? They belong to the Twelve Celestial Bodies?”


  “I didn’t expect to find the Twelve Celestial Bodies in this place.”


  The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion upon hearing the news that the Twelve Celestial Bodies were going to go against the Quan Zhen Sect.

  Even the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were taken aback.

  Twelve Celestial Bodies corresponded to the twelve zodiacs. These guys were originally a highly skilled competitive team. In the early years of their inception, they had obtained the title of domestic champions. These guys later retired because many of them grew older. However, as gamers, they did not have many transferable skills in the real world. Not long after, many of them ended up back playing the game.

  In <>, everyone thought that this group had disbanded for good and was not playing the game anymore. Who would have thought that they were hiding in the shadows?

  Just as the crowd was reeling from this surprise revelation, a discordant voice pulled them out of their stupor, “Twelve Celestial Bodies? What is that?”
