Chapter 527 - Pulling at the Roo (1/2)

t

Crazy Magic steeled his resolve. He was going to accept Nie Yan’s challenge! He also had his own pride. As a guild leader, he had no choice but to make decisions based on reason rather than emotion. However, sometimes emotions still got the better of him.

After being backed into a corner, the only choice left was to fight to the bitter end!

Crazy Magic was about to give his answer, when his voice chat suddenly rang. Cao Xu’s voice came out through the other end.「Tell Nirvana Flame to set a date and time.」

These words were like a godsend for Crazy Magic. Alliance of Mage’s elites were absolutely no match for Asskickers United’s. Defeat was guaranteed. However, things were different if the Century Financial Group took action. After operating in the virtual reality industry for so many years, Cao Xu had gathered countless experts under his banner.

Did the Century Financial Group plan on dispatching Direwolf this time?

Even though Crazy Magic wasn’t familiar with Direwolf, like most, he had heard the rumours.

There was a global leaderboard for professional players called the GP Rankings. It was quite prestigious, with countless top talents on it. One example was Krow, a European who was a godlike existence in the virtual reality game Hunter. He once reached the number one spot in the GP Rankings and maintained it for six months straight. Later on, he vanished without a trace. It was rumoured he had been recruited into Direwolf by the Century Financial Group. However, the rumour was never confirmed. Another example was Raven, a Chinese player of the game Mercenary who stayed in the top three in the GP Rankings for two years straight. Later on, he bought nearly ¥50,000,000 worth of stocks in the Century Financial Group and then disappeared.

The Century Financial Group’s foundation definitely couldn’t be looked down upon. In comparison, entities like the Dragonsoar Financial Group and World Bloc were lowly upstarts that had only recently entered the virtual reality industry.

Crazy Magic’s anxiousness faded away. He gazed at Nie Yan and said, “Go ahead. Name a time. How do you want to do this? Alliance of Mages will accompany you to the bitter end!”

Nie Yan had been observing Crazy Magic’s expression the whole time. Based on the initial hesitation to the response full of bravado, He concluded Crazy Magic was in contact with someone, and that someone was most likely Cao Xu.

You’ve kept me waiting long enough, Cao Xu… Nie Yan clenched his fists as the veins on his arms bulged out. Their battle was only just beginning!

Nie Yan understood Cao Xu wouldn’t be as easy to deal with as people like Crazy Magic. He was like a crocodile lurking below the water’s surface, waiting for the perfect opportunity to deal a fatal blow to its prey. The lessons of the previous timeline had taught Nie Yan to never underestimate an opponent like Cao Xu. Back then, Battle Crazed Alliance, the War God Tribe, and countless other guilds had gradually been swallowed up by Cao Xu. Even though Asskickers United had tenaciously survived to this day, this matter still couldn’t be treated lightly.

“Tomorrow, 30 minutes after the server opens,” Nie Yan replied. He didn’t know how long this battle would last, or what kind of people Alliance of Mages would recruit.

“Then it’s settled!” Crazy Magic said. He appeared much more confident than before.

“Nie Yan, with Crazy Magic responding so confidently, will there be a problem?” Xie Yao whispered.

“Since we’ve already issued the challenge, there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Nie Yan said. It didn’t matter who Crazy Magic’s side called over for help. Everything would be fine as long as they prepared adequately. He had faith in the players of Asskickers United!
