Chapter 223 Cause and Effects (Part 1)

"What did I say? Did I say anything? I said nothing, alright? I'm merely pointing out your unhealthy practice! It's a known fact that you like teasing Gongzi You! Did I say anything wrong? Why would I have any indecent thoughts about her? I was talking about you all this while, alright?"

Fleeting Time threw another punch at Absalom before he could finish his sentence. However, Absalom learned from his lesson, and was able to dodge the blow, "Fool me once, shame on you. Full me twice, shame on me!" said Absalom with a pleased tone.

Fleeting Time raised his eyebrows at Absalom, and his shoulders sagged. It appeared as if he has given up on trying to score another hit on Absalom.

Just as Absalom began to let his guard down, Fleeting Time's fist connected with Absalom's face once again. With a loud shriek, Absalom clutched at his face.

"What the heck are you doing? Fleeting Time, I'm going to beat the shit out of you!" roared Absalom as he glared at Fleeting Time. It was apparent that he was angered by Fleeting Time's action.

"Ah, it's nothing. I just want to remind you that I don't like the words 'Gongzi You' coming out of your mouth." Fleeting Time chuckled. He was indeed in a very good mood. Ignoring Absalom's protest and the inquisitive gazes of his guild members, Fleeting Time casually walked away, whistling as he went.

"I did not say anything..." Absalom was filled with grief. I really did not say anything! Why did I get hit twice by Fleeting Time? Even with a 70% pain reduction in Fate, being on the receiving end of two punches from Fleeting Time was still a very painful experience, "You're the one who have been teasing Gongzi You, so why am I taking a beating for that?"

Without warning, Fleeting Time stopped right on his tracks, and turned around to face Absalom with a smirk on his face. Absalom immediately turned his head to another direction, and began whistling a song that was out of tune.

Fleeting Time raised an eyebrow, satisfied by the fact that his intimidation of Absalom was a success, and continued his way to the guild hall.

Silent Hymn, the vice leader of Genesis, who has been observing the interaction between Absalom and Fleeting Time said with a sigh, "Absalom, why are you so terrified of Fleeting Time? If I'm not mistaken... You seem to be the Top 1 Sorcerer in the Western Continent. Don't you think that you're not living up to your name?"

Absalom glared at Silent Hymn, "Oh yeah? Why don't you try picking a fight with that jinx, and we'll see how it goes."

Silent Hymn visibly gulped when he was reminded of his crushing defeat against Fleeting Time and shook his head, "I said nothing."

Humans are always interested in even the tiniest bit of gossip. Some loved to gossip a lot, while others preferred only slightly less gossip. Absalom was exactly the type of man to immerse himself in the art of gossiping, while Silent Hymn was a the person who gossip slightly less than Absalom.

Of course, he would never miss an opportunity to obtain information from Absalom who was a literal gossiping hub, "Oh, by the way, I saw what was going in in the World Channel. Did Fleeting Time really lost to Gongzi You?"

"Well, According to the guys in the World Channel, Fleeting Time's party did lost the battle, but the fight between Fleeting Time and Gongzi You as inconclusive." Absalom immediately seized the rare opportunity to have a gossip about Fleeting Time.

Thus, the leader and vice leader of the largest guild of the Western Continent, Absalom and Silent Hymn began a long conversation in the guild encampment main square.
