Wang Yu wanted to refute him but after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with what Fearless was saying. However, it was dangerous to accept such behavior as the norm.
At this point, Wang Yu simply shrugged and stood next to Wang Yu. The meaning of his actions was clear for all to see.
"Don't force my hand, I will count to three. If you still do not divulge the location, I will go in." Seeing that Wang Yu gave his silent acknowledgement, Fearless grew more confident and said to Ally threateningly.
Ally glanced at the letter in Fearless's hands and quickly replied, "I, I will tell you. Pass me the letter first."
Fearless sneered at her coldly, "I cannot trust your character. You can say first." Those players who fell for NPC characters deception before would never believe another NPC again.
"Hey!" Ally took another big sigh and said helplessly, "The seal is on the bedside desk of the bedroom. Pass me the letter at once."
"Haha." Fearless chuckled loudly, "Not now."
Ally was shocked and enraged, "You dare to lie to me?"
Fearless quickly explained, "Who knows if the seal you pointed us to is the right seal? Who knows how many other secrets that bedside desk has? You got to wait for us to obtain the seal."
The system was extremely fond of playing word games with players. However such trivial tricks did not work on an experienced player like Fearless.
"You! Fine!" Ally snorted indignantly. "The administrative seal is locked in the drawer in the middle of the desk. This is the key for it."
As she spoke, Ally took out a key.
"Is this the key to obtain the seal?" Just as Fearless was about to take the key from Ally, Wang Yu stared at the key quizzically.
"…" Ally looked towards Wang Yu and Fearless before taking out another key. "This is the key…"
"Aiya, the City Lord entrusted you with such an important key. He is so nice to you; how can you bear to treat him this way?" Fearless received the key and teased Ally.
"Hmph!" Ally could not be bothered with his nonsense and bellowed, "Can you pass me the letter now?"
"Haha." Fearless smiled as he returned the letter back to Wang Yu. "How can we do that when we haven't completed the quest that you have given us? We are not people who do things half-heartedly."
"…"
When Ally heard the words, her body trembled with anger as she clenched her teeth and growled, "What a hateful bunch!"
At this moment, One Page Book and her guild masters were on-site and they saw the whole situation unfolding in front of them. They were flabbergasted to see that there was such a forceful way to play the game.
"How did you guys know that she would lie to you?"
From the moment Fearless took the note to coerce Ally to the point Ally tried to deceive them, such a chain of events left the bystanders reeling.
However, at the end of the day, the outcome was already determined by the combined efforts of Wang Yu and Fearless. How were the two so quick with their thinking?
Wang Yu said in a profound manner, "This is the result of life experiences."
…
"What should we do now?" One Page Book asked Fearless.
Since everyone had been exposed and the City Lord had already ordered them to leave, if they were to intrude into the City Lord Mansion once more, it would be courting death.
Fearless looked meaningfully at the key in his hand, "Old Bull, you are in charge of placating Ally. I will handle the retrieval of the seal. The rest of you wait for me outside."
Everyone was shocked, "Fearless, are you going to use your sex appeal?"
"Scram, scram, scram!" Fearless was offended. "I am now a maid of the City Lord Mansion. My status is different from you scum."
As Fearless spoke, he entered the house in a stealthy fashion. The City Lord did not actually renege on his previous promise, he did not lay a hand on Fearless. Sure enough, being a woman came with its benefits.
Wang Yu and the others stood outside the door, silently waiting for the news of Fearless's success. After a long while, there was still no movement from Fearless.
Ling Longmeng had an irascible temperament and was the first to erupt in anger on the guild chat channel, "F*ck, Fearless, what are you doing inside? Could it be that you are sleeping around with the City Lord?"
Fearless quickly replied, "Damn you, the City Lord is in his bedroom all the time. I have already cleaned the room three times and he is still sitting there reading his book."
"…" Everyone inquired, "What do we do then? Should we first withdraw and wait for night to fall to make a move?"
"Is there night in Twilight City?" Fearless asked her.
"No!"
"Go to hell!"
Wang Yu interjected in their heated conversation, "I think we have to wait till the City Lord is not in."
"That is not going to cut it. At that moment, someone else will have taken the seal already." Fearless continued, "We will take a chance if there is one. In the event that there are no chances, we have to create one ourselves. You guys have to think of a way to lure the City Lord out of his room."
"Lure him out?" Wang Yu gazed at the ladies and asked, "How are we supposed to do that?"
Ling Longmeng off-handedly shot a suggestion, "That depends on what he cares about the most. Isn't his wife outside?"
"…"
Everyone knew the ramifications of Ling Longmeng suggestion as they glance over at Ally. They turned back to Wang Yu and nodded unanimously.
"Old Bull, this all depends on you!"
"Me? Killing NPC is clearly breaking the law!" Wang Yu was no fool so he naturally refused to do an illegal act.
"Not asking you to kill, you can… Hehe." Ling Longmeng broke out in a devious smirk as she chimed in, "The few of us can help you hold her hands and feet."
"F*ck! That's even more out of the question!" Wang Yu turned his back on them. At this moment, his gaze swept the backyard inadvertently.
The City Lord also felt that something was not right. He put his book down and asked Fearless, "Is my room very messy?"
"It's still in an acceptable state," Fearless answered in a genial smile.
The City Lord was in wary mode as he demanded, "Since it is not messy, why do you keep going back and forth in this place. Do you have some ulterior motive?"
"No, no, I don't have any bad intentions!" Fearless clarified himself, "I was only attracted by the heroism that City Lord exudes."
"Do I?" City Lord smiled charmingly as he pointed at the bed, "Sit there."
Fearless heard his heart stop for a bit and he panicked, "It's alright, I will just stand."
The City Lord had no objectives to what Fearless said but he continued solemnly, "Well, you can just take off your clothes now! Let's be honest and open with each other."
The City Lord had already known from the onset that Fearless was putting on a pretense but he was not clear on the reason why.
"Be honest and open with each other?"
Fearless was being influenced by the suggestive thoughts that the ladies outside put into his head. As soon as he heard the City Lord, he was in a state of alarm. He hurriedly spammed the guild channel, "Oh no, shit is going down. This lecher has designs on me."
The ladies were not at all sympathetic but were beaming, "Really? What did he do?"
Fearless mourned, "Big sisters, I am begging you… Please stop messing around."
Just as Fearless was still seeking advice from others, he heard a shout from outside the room.
"Not good, something is burning!"
A thick black smoke permeated the entire yard in an instant.
