Chapter 81: Meeting of "Imperials"

Deloris town;

30 minutes before the meeting, one by one, representatives from the seven guilds started to teleport to Deloris town.

One of them is Scarlet's biggest supporter, Evernight guild leader, Supreme Master who came to the town together with Justice League guild leader, Green Lantern.

After looking around, GreenLantern can't help but turned disappointed as he hardly saw any players or any stores on the way while Supreme Master still looks around the town in interest.

Green Lantern then said, "Ricky, are you sure you want to stay ally with the guild? They even shifted to this little town. If you make your move right, you can even take over the faction."

Supreme Master shook his head with a smile, "that's because you aren't seeing the big picture here."

GreenLantern frowned, "I know they have a backing of Scarlet Securities but it seemed like they don't want to expand their guild and only wants to stay as a non-combat guild."

Upon hearing him, SupremeMaster replied with a smile, "I told you, didn't I? You can't see the big picture here. Ever wondered why there isn't a single piece of land available in our city?"

GreenLantern snorted and answered, "It's because everything is sold out, obviously…"

He suddenly turned his head towards him, "do you mean he's the one who bought everything?"

"Absolutely not. You can see all the stores except Flame Emperor's are run by Dreamwalkers.

But, according to the information I gathered, they only have 25 stores inside the city that they are currently running and 10 plots of land outside the city, which have labs and smithies.

It is a fact that all the cities have around 50-60 plots of land available to buy. So, I think the remaining lands were bought by Scarlet.

You see… Time Traveler became Viscount very early and he has the Scarlet group as his background. So, he won't be lacking gold once the currency exchange opened.

And now, he became Mayor. So, I bet all the lands here are gone too," replied SupremeMaster in the hopes of letting this info get into his cousin's head clearly.

GreenLantern then frowned, "I wonder why he isn't building anything, then. It's not like he lacks money…"

SupremeMaster nodded in agreement, "it is one of the things I want to confirm in this meeting. I also want to know what he is waiting for if he really bought them.

If he doesn't have plans to develop them, yet, then, I'm planning to ask for a piece of land for rent so that we can develop it instead. It'll be a win-win situation for both of us. That's my agenda for today's meeting."

A while later, both of them arrived at the gate and saw the two gatekeepers were refusing to budge while a couple of players want to enter the Mansion and meet Mayor.

"Who are they?" as Greenlantern asked, SupremeMaster shrugged his shoulders, "who knows. Let me text ShadowBlade. I don't want to face that embarrassing situation."

As soon as he texted to Aster that they arrived, Aster exits the Mansion and appeared at the gate.

A frown appeared on his face as he saw two unfamiliar players were at the gate.

"Who are you two?"

Boomerang's eyes lit up upon seeing Aster, "Hello… I'm Boomerang. And this is Deltashot. We heard that Time Traveler became our mayor.

We're just here to greet him. As you can see… our guild was based in this town. So…"

Aster nodded, "I understand. I'll inform Young Master but it isn't the time. We are expecting guests now. So, please leave. I'll notify you in the future when he agreed to it."

Both of them nodded in happiness as they weren't directly rejected and left the place in the hopes of meeting this number one ranked player.

After sending them away, Aster looked around and found SupremeMaster and GreenLantern were watching the scene from far away while standing under a tree.

As he personally led them inside, both of them looked around to see the spacious hall filled with exquisite furniture, paintings, and a chandelier handing in the middle of the room.

Greenlantern whistled as he thought, "this one lives in luxury even inside the game. Truly an envious b*****d."

After everyone gathered in the living room, Wil went downstairs in luxurious clothes, which he bought from a clothing store in town for 3 gold.

***

As the servants were busy clearing out the dishes from the dining table, Wil spoke as he stood up, "as you all know, today's agenda is about Resistance. Let's discuss this elsewhere. Follow me…"

While the rest of them wondered why they need to change places, they stayed silent and followed Wil to the second floor and entered the Mayor's private room.

After clearing out everything, Wil ordered Borris to fill the huge bedroom with chairs so that he can use it as a meeting room instead. It was done so that no one should get the feeling that they came for nothing.

*Ding. You entered Mayor's guest room. You'll receive 30 exp every second. 

As soon as they entered the room, everyone started to get free EXP, and amazement filled their faces. Not even Aster was an exception to it as he didn't expect there's a room that can give 100K exp per hour.

"Take a seat," gestured Wil as he sat in one of the chairs.

As all the guild leaders took their seats, Wil said, "In future, Mountain Rock will attend meetings as its representative, thus making us a nine guilds-allied faction."

Everyone nodded indifferently as if they didn't care about it since it's already a fact that Silvershapers, the biggest guild of East Ocean City is already a part of their alliance. 

Looking at their expressions, Wil continued, "Okay, now, let's get into the matter directly. Aster, give us the statistics of our enemy."

Aster nodded and stood up, "let me brief you the complete info we have on Resistance.

On the surface, it made up of nine guilds namely Redwings, Ouroboros, Battlecrushers, Greybreaker, Earthstars, Swiftmane, Rise of the Skull, Hellguards, and Mystiques.

But, there are three more guilds joined unofficially. They are Winged Inferno, Chaospikes, and finally, Bloodsins, which is a well-known Assassin guild that's shown to be neutral."

"What… That's not possible. Bloodsins can't be on their side. They even walked away during our fight with Ouroboros.

If they have joined, we would have suffered heavy losses," interrupted Cloudstorm, the leader of Paradise guild. Wil saw a clear shock on his face.

"I trust Aster's information. His Intel gathering ability is top-notch. If he said Bloodsins are our enemies, then, they are our enemies. Whatever their stance doesn't matter with me," as Wil looked at him and commented, Cloudstorm shut his mouth and stayed silent while Aster continued.

"So, Resistance is made up of 12 guilds with a combined player population of 36785. On the other hand, if we exclude Silvershapers and Scarlet, our side with 7 guilds has a combined player population of 23768.

If we include Silvershapers, it's 39887. So, you can say, almost 80 percent of East Ocean city players are already involved and it's clear that they have the upper hand."

Upon hearing it, the facial expressions of the guild leaders changed and went into deep thinking as to how did the enemies were able to develop so fast while keeping them in the dark… 

Meanwhile, Aster continued, "It doesn't end there."

Now, according to the members of the guilds, LittleSeven, the leader of Redwings is the leader of the faction.

But, I suspect, in reality, the one who calls the shots is a different one."

Upon hearing it, Wil asked indifferently as if it wouldn't matter to him, "who is it?"

Aster replied seriously, "I can't say for sure since I lack enough info to confirm it but there's a high probability that it is Dreamwalkers."

"What!!!"
