Chapter 249: Where Scarlet falls, Vulture rises

"I would like to withdraw my fixed deposit," Wil spoke to the bank employee.

"Yes…" She replied with a scream, before apologizing to him and opening his account. 

He deposited 1 million gold coins when the currency is 251 credits: 1 silver but during the course of time, the currency was dipped to 148 now. So, his net balance increased to 1.69 million gold.

This is the advantage of a Fixed deposit of the bank. The value price at the moment will be frozen. If not for the fact that he needed high funds, he wouldn't have bothered to withdraw the amount until the currency falls to 10 credits.

After withdrawing 1.69 million gold coins, he sighed in relief. 

"Hmm, Okay, now, I have1 million 800 thousand. It will be enough."

Finishing his business at the bank, Wil then made a trip to the Deloris town and went to the barracks to meet with the general.

"Your Majesty." General Gerrad and the rest of the soldiers kneeled before him.

"Rise up." He looked at him. As he expected, every soldier was up by 100 levels. Level-200 soldier became level-300 and level-300 became level-400.

Upon hearing the statistics of the army, Wil felt that his army is incredible.

Wil felt like he can siege the capital city and get the throne as Raziel promised that he won't interfere. But other than him, there are two obstacles to him.

One is the Angel of Death who might or might not have left the kingdom and the other is the Queen herself who is now a level-500. It will be a tough battle. So, he has to strike at the perfect time.

Back to the Barracks, the soldiers stood up and stayed silent while their General opened his mouth.

"Your Highness, any orders?" He asked Wil.

Wil replied, "I need 2000 of your men to shift to another base."

"Another base?" General Gerrad was confused. Did this Prince build another base secretly?

Wil nodded, "Yes, I'm developing another army there. I need some of your men to not only join them but also train them as fast as you can. 9000 of them and 13000 of you… We will take over this kingdom sooner or later."

Originally, Wil wanted to take all of them to the Ormshire but after thinking that they might not follow him before he takes revenge for Mirella, he changed his thoughts.

"Oh! That's amazing, Your Highness." General Gerrad was impressed that Wil isn't just depending on 13000 of his men. His loyalty to Wil rose even more but too bad the familiarity has already reached 100, so, Wil didn't receive any notification.

He started to walk with the general to select the captain-level candidates to train his men at the Athledon.

Just as he stepped inside the building, Wil received a notification.

*Ding! You received a message from Silverknight.

"Silver?" Wil frowned as he wondered why Silver sent him a text. Is it something important?

Silverknight: Young Master, it's bad news. A mysterious group of players with masks is hunting down our gamers.

"Hunting down? Who might this be?" Wil's frown deepened.

Time Traveler: Did you note down the names?

Silverknight: Yes. But none of them belongs to any guilds that our spies infiltrated. But, there was one odd thing that can be suspected.

Time Traveler: What is it?

Silverknight: Other than being strong, so far, we found 96 names according to the registered notifications. It is too much of a coincidence that they have a similar number that took over East Ocean City and helped out Supreme Master to form Hydra.

"Hmm?" Wil fell into deep thoughts.

After Supreme Master informed Aster about a mysterious organization that contacted him, he was the one that ordered Aster to make Supreme Master merge the guilds.

During that time, he heard from Aster about how a mere 101 Elites managed to destroy the whole city. It is after the update, that means, they are powerful enough to deal with even level-300s. 

Of course, he doesn't know that Supreme Master is using both of them or else… It is easy to imagine what kind of outcome it will be.

Time Traveler: Do you suspect it is the same group that's targeting us?

Silverknight: Not completely sure but yeah, considering their actions, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the ones behind the slander against you in forums.

"Hmm… I see… Since they can't do anything to me, they think my guild is a pushover, huh!".

He quickly sent a message in the guild channel.

Time Traveler: All the members are summoned at the Deloris town's Barracks. Llyne, 55633,61821.

After that, he sent another message to Silver.

Time Traveler: I want all of our boys from the company to be gathered at the Barracks here in the town of Deloris. Llyne, 55633,61821. And you need to do one more thing.

He added the secondary coordinates that were measured by taking the center of the Llyne as the focal point.

Level-210 wild zone, Llyne Kingdom;

"You… Who are you guys…" Elyssa hollered in anger as she and her team were being pressed by this group of 10. Every one of them is level-200.

What's more, none of them are using any skills and just playing around with them with battle techniques.

One by one, her team members died. She was the last one who was managing to block the attacks with her shield.

But, how can she face against the nine of them… She, who was suppressed from the start finally ended up dead without getting an answer.

As she resurrects at the temple, Elyssa saw the message from Wil. She then sent a message to the party

Crimson Moon: Let's go to the HQ.

***

In one hour, 1726 employees from Scarlet Securities were transferred to SGC, 231 gamers from all SGC branches, 325 Vulture gang Elites, and 135 Original Scarlet Elite division members.

Most of them are below level-100, especially the ones without any guild name, and there are also non-combat players who were promoted to the Elite division.

Overall, more than 2300 players gathered at the Barracks, causing a commotion in the town.

Aster, Silver, RockFist, Elyssa, Cyrus… Everyone was standing uniformly, waiting for Wil to speak.

Meanwhile, the guilds who had spies in the city were also frantic as to what Time Traveler is going to do.

Looking at them Wil spoke, "Today, I'm going to announce very important news. As of right now, I'm disbanding the Scarlet guild."

*Gasp* The gamers gasped in shock as they heard they are going to be disbanded. If the guild will disband, are they going to be fired just this quickly?

But they didn't voice out their opinion and continued to listen. 

"Scarlet represents flame, blood, pleasure, fun… That's what the guild is doing until now. But the recent attack made me change my stance. I realized that there's no use if only I'm going to be the strongest.

From now onwards, all of you will no longer stand noble just caring about leveling up, defending ourselves, or killing the players on the way…

We are going to be the predators that symbolize death, opportunity, Loyalty, Greed, and Horror.

For no good reason, people kept on challenging our patience. Then, fine. We'll show them what happens when the vultures lose their patience."

At the moment, the Vulture gang was reborn into the game.

Silver almost teared up, looking at his Young Master as he saw the silhouette of Philip behind him.
