Chapter 180 Everybody has a Headache-inducing Problem

From that day onwards, NightAndDay had been treating him differently. Their relationship grew distant. At the time however, he did not realise the change. When he thought about it seriously, something Gongzi You had said to NightAndDay must've triggered his decision to call for a retreat.

The more Wandering Cloud thought about it, the more his fear grew. Although he has planned to take over NightAndDay's position, and has always wanted to do so, he was not ready yet. If NightAndDay caught wind of his intentions at this time, wouldn't his careful planning for so many years go to waste?

His lover, money, and the guild... He would get end up with none. It would be bad if he was caught in a scandal. Should he have a fall out with NightAndDay now? Even if he could not get everything he wanted, he could still gain something out of it.

However, such measure was only a last resort that Wandering Cloud would only take it as the worst case scenario. Even when he was gripped by fear, all of it was just speculation at this point. After all, NightAndDay hasn't done anything substantial since the battle with Upwards Ho!. The man had only secluded himself and began leveling up like a madman. It shouldn't be much of an issue. Isn't he a little too nervous?

After giving the matter some thought, Wandering Cloud decided to show some restraint while trying to gauge information from NightAndDay. He would also need to clear things up with Gongzi You.

With his decision made, Wandering Cloud told Into The Sunset, "I think we should avoid meeting up so much. You should stop coming over."

"Why is that?"

"We should be be more careful for now. I want to see how NightAndDay will react."

Despite her reluctance, Into The Sunset was afraid that her affair with Wandering Cloud would be found out.This would tarnish her reputation, thus it would not be worthwhile. If this caused her to lose NightAndDay, then it definitely is not worth the risk.. A lot was at stake here. Especially at this time when Wandering Cloud was not as capable as NightAndDay, she did not want to lose NightAndDay, who was her god of wealth.

"Okay, I understand."

"I'm going to question Gongzi You about this later, don't tell anybody about this." Wandering Cloud was very reluctant in letting Into The Sunset in on his plan, but he was afraid that the woman would do something silly if she found out.

"What? You're going to meet with Gongzi You?" Into The Sunset's anger immediately flared, "Have you fallen for her? As expected, a dog can't stop himself from eating shit! You are going to hit on her like what you did with that bitch Glistening Snow am I right?"

"What are you talking about?" Wandering Cloud knew that Into The Sunset would react negatively to his words, but had not expected her to have such an explosive reaction. He was irritated by her behaviour.

"How the hell would I know? Who knows maybe you've developed an interest in washboards with non-existent breasts and ass..." Into The Sunset was so angry that she was about to spring up.

"I am doing it under the suspicion that Gongzi You told NightAndDay something about us that day! That was why he called for a retreat! He has been acting weird since that day! Don't you think Gongzi You was the one responsible for this?" with his patience spent, Wandering Cloud roared at Into The Sunset, effectively shutting her up.

Into The Sunset was momentarily stunned. She then narrowed her eyes and stared at Wandering Cloud, "Why would Gongzi You know about our relationship? Are you hiding something from me?"

Wandering Cloud rolled his eyes. He knew that some things could not stay hidden for long. He proceeded to tell Into The Sunset about his run in with Gongzi You at the Winter Hotspring and the fight that erupted between them in their attempt to secure the kill for the Armored Giant Tortoise.
