Chapter 774 - Four Great Empires
In one of the bars in Star-Moon City’s Slums:
A middle-aged man in silver robes turned and looked at his surroundings. After confirming that no one had followed him, he walked into the bar.
Aside from the NPC barkeeper, the bar’s only occupant was a white-haired youth dressed in exquisite, black leather armor. When the white-haired youth, who had been enjoying a bottle of vodka in silence, sensed the silver-robed man walk over, he turned around and smiled, saying, “You’re finally here. It seems that Black Flame has put you through quite the ringer. Did you finish what I asked you to do?”
The silver-robed man was none other than Sky from the Flower of Seven Sins. He was also the first Void Realm expert Shi Feng had killed.
Sky’s position in the Flower of Seven Sins was extraordinary. He could be considered one of the organization’s key figures. Normally, upon meeting, the Fower’s members only felt fear and respect. They were deeply afraid of offending Sky, who had a strange personality. Yet, when speaking with this man, the white-haired youth remained calm and natural.
If the other members saw this, they would definitely be shocked.
“As you guessed, he can steal players’ Immortal Souls. However, I did not discover that item’s presence on him. Really though, this incident has ruined me. I wasn’t able to log into the game for three days. I’ve fallen behind in levels. I even lost an excellent pair of shoes. Say, how do you intend to compensate me for the losses?” Sky said, annoyance clear in his tone as he glared at the gloating youth.
“Fine. They were just a pair of shoes. What do you think of this?” the white-haired you asked, laughing. He then revealed a pair of Level 35 Dark-Gold ranked combat boots.
Currently, God’s Domain’s mainstream players were around Level 30, while its experts were Level 33. Even expert players were barely reaching Level 35. Yet, the white-haired youth could so easily hand Sky a pair of Level 35 Dark-Gold ranked combat boots.
Even Level 30 Dark-Gold Equipment was very difficult to obtain, not to mention Level 35 Dark-Gold Equipment.
“That is more like it. Anything less and you’d fail to live up to your name, Silver.” Sky, however, was not particularly surprised. He accepted the combat boots. “You really are a strange one. Instead of looking for him yourself, you chose me to test his strength and learn whether or not he has that item. Isn’t this just a waste of time? With your abilities, can’t you find an opportunity to kill him fairly easily?”
“You don’t understand. There is only one chance to obtain that item. In the off chance that I alert him, I will lose that one opportunity.
“Besides, it was fortunate that I didn’t join you. It would have been too difficult to kill him. He didn’t bring the item with him, either. Killing him would have been useless.” Silver shook his head. Laughing softly, he said, “I am not in a rush, anyway. In any case, I have other places to be, as well. However, I need you to keep a close eye on him and report any movement to me.
“As for the reward you requested, I’ll take care of it as soon as possible. However, you mustn’t forget that only you and I know this information. If I find that word has gotten out… you will suffer the consequences!”
Sky involuntarily shivered under Silver’s warning glare. Hurriedly, he replied, “I understand.”
Silver was a true upper echelon of the Flower of Seven Sins. Throughout the organization’s history, Silver was the only player to join the organization’s upper echelons at such a young age. His strength and abilities were extraordinary. If he offended Silver, not only would he find it impossible to mingle in God’s Domain, but he would also suffer in the real world.
