Chapter 327: Wil's treat part-3

BBQ Jeong restaurant, Leafway city;

"Young master, is the food to your liking?" Silver asked him as Wil was simultaneously grilling the meat while eating.

"Yeah, the meat quality is quite good." Wil was satisfied with the taste. He liked the eastern style BBQ that has a lot of side dishes.

"Young master, give those tongs to me. I'll grill it for you." As Aster tried to take them from Wil's hands, Wil rejected his help.

He didn't let Aster or Silver do it as for him, it was another joyful experience.

"By the way, where is that guy?" Remembering that Min still hasn't arrived, Wil asked Aster to call him.

Aster made a call and then, reported to Wil, "He seems to be stuck in traffic. Might be late by another 30 minutes."

Wil shook his head with a sigh. Thinking that he already did his part of keeping up with the promise, he shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat.

Meanwhile, at the far end of the girls' table, Xia Fu and Elyssa continue to bicker in low tones. Because the restaurant is quite noisy, their argument stayed between themselves.

"Well, technically, half of those records don't count. You had the help of Rock Fist and Death King on multiple occasions." Elyssa was arguing about the dungeon records.

She was pointing out that they can't add those records to their data as two experts were also on the team.

"Well, doesn't your team also take the help of others? If we count only B-squad members, then, you would have to drop 90% of your dungeon records." Xia Fu counter-argued that Elyssa's team isn't that different.

In her view, they were more shameless than A-squad.

"We have permission from Director Long to do that." Elyssa dragged Long Jing into their argument to shut her rival's mouth. "What about you guys? Your team always claimed that you are Elites in front of us and yet, taking the help of others without permission…"

"We are far lesser in number. So, we only asked them to join to fulfill the number requirement. Unlike you guys, we didn't depend on them to clear the dungeon. Their contribution is far less in our team than when they were fighting in your team." As expected, Xia Fu doesn't like to lose the argument either.

"Blaming someone else doesn't make you innocent." Elyssa planned to win this bout no matter what. So, to make sure she won't argue back, she revealed the trump card.

"I heard that recently, all of your team was wiped out by some mysterious experts. How many times was it? Eight times, right?"

A couple of female gamers from the A-squad immediately frowned at her provocation. They were also a part of the victims that lost four levels in just a week.

They felt that war saved them. For a while, those hundred mysterious experts hunted almost several elites of Vulture whether it is the hunting grounds or within the city.

To her surprise, Xia Fu wasn't a bit offended because she was never hunted down. In return, she managed to kill a couple of them.

She said, "Getting hunted by them isn't a bad thing, actually. It only explains that, in their eyes, we are the important force of the guild. By hunting down A-squad over and over again, they indirectly stated that our levels more matter to them.

As for you guys and the other Scarlet guilds, they didn't even care about it after killing once or twice."

Elyssa was taken aback by her response. She felt as if she was the one who cut the branch that's beneath her.

However, as a person who wasn't willing to admit defeat to this arrogant rival of hers, she tried to defend her allies once again by repeating the same statement.

"As I have said before, blaming others will not make you innocent. Whatever their intentions towards us, doesn't matter. What matters is that you guys made the guild lose a lot of reputation. You should be ashamed for thinking that you are worthy to get recognized by enemies…" Elyssa once again tried to provoke her. 

And once again, she failed.

Xia Fu smiled, "What a hypocrite. You are doing the same thing."

"Both of you… please behave properly. Did you forget that Mr. Chairman is here?" Long Jing suddenly intervened before they lost control over their tone and raise a ruckus.

"I apologize, Director Long." Elyssa was quick to understand and stayed silent.

On the other hand, Xia Fu suddenly changed the topic, instead of staying silent, "Mr. Chairman… That's right. I almost forgot my original objective because of her. I need to confirm with him whether he's Time Traveler or not."

Just as she about to stand up, her friend who was sitting beside her, grabbed her hand and forced her to sit, "Stop it or else, you will only embarrass yourself.

Just a while ago, Mr. Ravens said that Time Traveler wasn't able to come here. Did you forget it already?" She slowly reminded her by whispering.

"I'm sure he's lying." Xia Fu appeared stubborn. Looking at this girl sitting before her, Elyssa became so annoyed that she wanted to rip her hair apart.

Forcing herself to calm down, she looked at Long Jing and said, "Director Long, please stop this crazy girl so that the atmosphere here will not be ruined."

Xia Fu who heard it, quickly said, "Director Long, I still remember the day when Mr. Ravens came to the Headquarters. There, Director Maria clearly said to us that Mr. Ravens is there for the tournament.

I researched about it and found that day was when the semi-finals and finals were played. Surely, he won't be there to watch when his father passed away, right?

That means Mr. Ravens must be one of the participants; Crimson Sun, Solar, Magi, and Time Traveler. Of the four of them, only Time Traveler is an archer. That's why I'm sure of it but some fools aren't even ready to listen to me. They were only interested in defaming me and my team."

She then glanced at Elyssa, indicating that fool was referring to her.

"You…" As Elyssa was angered, Long Jing went to the rescue. This time, she stood on Elyssa's side instead of being neutral. "That's enough, Miss Xia. No matter whether your statement is true or not, you will stay silent on this matter. You are free to discuss this topic with Time Traveler if you wish but I won't allow you to disturb Mr. Chairman." 

Xia Fu stuffed herself with food in disappointment. She was sad that no one is supporting her. On the other hand, Elyssa was happy that Long Jing sided with her.

Meanwhile, at the middle of the girls' table, Hyunjoo and Jiwon were surrounded by the other ladies who are curious about their Chairman's personal life.

As Hyunjoo stayed silent as much as possible, Jiwon, on the other hand, quickly mingled with others and is already started to gossip.

Munching the meat, she continued to talk, "Actually, our sister and Mr. Ravens are a lot closer than we are. As for whether they are in a relationship or not, I'm not sure about it but likely Yes. I mean, who would accompany a normal friend from all the way to Wular city just because their hand is injured?"
