Chapter 76: Flame Emperor's choice

XXXX: Meet Cericia before tomorrow's sunrise or you will pay for it.

"Huh? What's with these childish threats? It was fine until last night. Did that old man's brain got haywire or something? Or maybe, that b***h complained against me?

No, it's impossible. Unlike my dad, He's a police chief. A person at that level won't foolishly choose to believe their children's lies. If I'm right, he'll still be angry with her, right now.

Even if he weren't, at least he will be on my side.

Not to mention, sending a message a second time will give away his identity. If that happens, how could he ensure the marriage if he threatens his potential son-in-law? There's something wrong here.

Wait a second. What if he doesn't have anything to do with it? What if my mobile phone was never with him? What if…"

While he was in the middle of thinking, the elves brought the land deeds and handed over it to him.

After the process is over, Wil went back to the Mayor's office on the 3rd floor to wait for Flame Emperor, SnowDew, and others…

Meanwhile, he sent a message to Aster.

Time Traveler: Aster, do one thing for me. Call our branch office and ask them to track my old number, right now. I also want to know the locations of it during the past week along with call records.

Shadow Blade: Understood, young master.

Time Traveler: By the way, where are you? Why aren't you here, yet?

Shadow Blade: I'm on my way, Young master. I'm still inside the wild zone and trying to return to the city to teleport. Currently, I'm looking for a safe spot to log out and complete the Young master's order. 

Time Traveler: Okay, text me when you arrive here. We can talk about my mobile phone details directly. 

While he was waiting for Aster's report, Wil received a reply from Flame Emperor.

Upon reading the message, Wil sighed, "I didn't think this guy is so decisive. Well, if they are losing their opportunity, I can't do anything about it."

Flame Emperor: I'm sorry. I think we choose to be free again.

Time Traveler: it's alright. Everyone has their own paths to choose... You can teleport to Deloris town here. Then, come to the mayor's office. It's in Town's administration building. Let's finish our deal and done with it.

At the same moment, he received a message from Snow Dew this time.

Snow Dew: Big Brother Time Traveler, I'm not leaving the guild. 

"Eh? Snow Dew wants to stay?"

Time Traveler: But, your dad just messaged me saying that both of you will leave the guild.

Snow Dew: That's his decision and this is mine. 

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on Wil as read the message, "This girl…"

*Ding. You stayed inside the game for 55 hours. We recommend you to log out soon.

Wil ignored the warning from the S-grade capsule as he already decided to log out once his conversation with both of them over.

Not to mention, how can he log out when his mayor's badge was stuck inside the table, which can only happen once his working hours are over. And there's still 75 minutes left for it. 

Time Traveler: How about this. Your dad is coming to Deloris town. Tag along with him. We'll talk about the rest…

Snow Dew: Sure…

"Looks like this little girl grew up a bit…"

One hour later, Wil was standing before the window and looking outside, "tell me, now."

Aster, who was standing beside him, replied, "Young Master, your mobile phone is actually in our apartment building all along. There are no additional call records from it except for sending the message to your new mobile twice."

"So, the mobile phone is with Cherry, eh… If that's the case, she was also the one who send the death threat the first time. For an entire 2 hours, I was scared of my life and hid in a capsule. If I don't teach her a lesson, I'll change my name..."

After calming himself, Wil looked at him, "okay, you disband the guild and go to the Adventurer association to form it again and invite me and others except for Flame Emperor and Snow Dew.

Oh, and try to gather info about the Imperial guild and its allies. Since we became neighbors by coincidence; we might as well cut him down, right now. Just plant new spies in all in their enemy and ally guilds."

Before he speaks further, Aster replied, "don't worry about him, Young master. I have done that job, long ago.

Lu Heibei thinks he captured this city with his subsidiary guilds but he doesn't know that our spies were the ones that were gathering the members and increasing his guild strength for him.

That's how the Imperial guild became the number one guild in Eldershore city very quickly. The moment we take over the company, we'll claim everything."

"Wow, the way he brings out results is so scary indeed. Looks like I really underestimated his intelligence," Wil was stupefied on the spot and then smiled as he patted the shoulder, "well done Aster. Oh, by the way, this is for you…"

Wil then took out the skill book he saved for Aster and gave it to him.

Looking at the illusion skill that can make the enemy go blind, Aster took a step back in a surprise, "this is… amazing. Young master, I can't take it. It's too precious. Maybe, the young master should learn it."

"When I giving you something, just take it, will ya… Moreover, I don't need it. It's suitable for an Assassin like you. Practice the skill and master it. Now, go…" Wil snorted as he folded his hands.

Aster nodded and left the office with an excited expression after learning it.

Gazing outside from the window, Wil mumbled, "Okay, the matter with Aster is done. Just when will these father and daughter arrive here?"

Reverie Kingdom;

In an illusionary realm, Bran was fighting against a level-100 legendary grade Giant Serpent creature.

Unlike Wil, Bran was wearing his original equipment, full level-100 epic grade from top to bottom.

Looking at the enemy that only has a few hundred thousand of health, Bran unleashed his strongest move, Sword of Zenon, a skill he bought in the first system auction.

Sword of Zenon (Max)

Description: Let the sword absorb the magic energy in the surroundings and strengthen itself. Your next attack deals the damage with 100 times your attack power. CD: 1 day. Cost: 100 mana.

He motioned the long katana in his hand as he turned around 360 degrees for once and slashed the air.

Magic energy in the surroundings started to envelop the long katana and became a Giant sword as it sliced the snake in half and ended the final wave.

*Ding. You defeated Sapphire Grieve Viper

*Ding. You completed all the waves. 

Panting heavily, he sat down on the ground, "Finally… man… it took me 60 hours to finish this trial. Fighting these legendary grade bosses one after another is really tiresome. I wonder how my real body is holding up." 

As he returned to the cave, the spirit of High-Elf Eden said with a smile, "well done, my successor. You had indeed exceeded my expectations.

As a reward, I'll give you two choices. Your first option is three unique skills of mine, one per each wave. Your second option is unsealing those two treasures of mine, right now. Make your choice."

After thinking for a while, weighing out the pros and cons, Bran spoke, "I made my choice. I chose to unseal the mythic grade weapon and accessory."

Deloris town;

Before the town temple, Flame Emperor was speaking emotionally with Snow Dew, "my little snow, now that daddy will not be with you to protect you around, you should already be wary whether it's the people or the monsters. Whenever you are confused about something, don't hesitate to ask for help. I'll come straight to you wherever you are and..." 

Meanwhile, Wil, who stood on the side started to grumble, "Do you need to be so dramatic about it? It's not like you are leaving your daughter at her mother-in-law's house. You'll still see her every day at your home."

Flame Emperor then patted Wil's shoulder, "if things go wrong in the future, don't forget that you have an ally in the capital."

"Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up and get out of my town. I'm getting sick of this drama..." Wil sighed and gave a simple nod in return.
