Chapter 841
Everyone held their breaths. They could not believe their eyes.
Could an [S] class expert die?
Of course.
However, the killing of an [S] class expert usually involved an overwhelming advantage in numbers and a high casualty rate. In many situations, it would also require making use of the advantages given by the instance dungeon.
For an [S] class expert to be killed off so easily was simply unheard of before.
Rather, it would seem as though Chen Xiaolian... didn’t even give it his all.
The specks of dust that were once Dimitri fell to the ground, but Chen Xiaolian no longer bothered to look. Instead, he leaped into the sky to hover before the railing of the third floor of the building.
The edge blade of the Flash Bow of Ketu-Rahu swung out gently and the bars were slashed apart.
After the shackles restraining her hands and feet had been cut open, Phoenix quickly got up. Casting a look of disbelief at Chen Xiaolian, she said, “You... why did you come here? Also, you actually... killed Dimitri?”
“The thing I promised you back then... did you end up forgetting?” Chen Xiaolian smiled. “Come with me first. If there’s anything, we can slowly talk about it.”
After saying that, he turned around to look at the members of Starfall Guild, who were still standing in the courtyard with a blank expression on their faces. He said coolly, “We’ll meet again in the new Zero City.”
Three curtains of light descended, enveloping Chen Xiaolian, Tian Lie and Phoenix.
The curtains of light then disappeared, leaving only the members of the European branch of Starfall Guild, standing flabbergasted within the manor.
...
“I’ve always thought that the past me was already impressive enough as it is...” Tian Lie, who was standing in the empty central plaza, shifted his pupils to look at Chen Xiaolian. “I really miss the time when I could chase you around and toy with you.”
“Alright. Enough nonsense. I still have some matters to discuss with Phoenix. I asked you to help, but not only did you fail, you also had to rely on me to settle the situation in the end. Go do your thing,” Chen Xiaolian angrily retorted.
Tian Lie chuckled. Then, with both palms clasped against the back of his head, he swaggered away.
“What the f**k’s going on here?” Phoenix’s eyes were wide open as she looked around. She was already on the verge of going crazy. “This place, it’s really... Zero City? And how did you become so strong? Do you know who you just killed earlier?”
“New Zero City.” Chen Xiaolian smiled. “Alright. Let’s find a place to sit first.”
After saying that, Chen Xiaolian did not wait for Phoenix’s reply and simply walked towards the commercial street.
“Secondly, this resurrection method can be regarded as an exploit of a certain BUG in the system. Due to that, they would not – unlike normal Awakened ones and Players – possess a complete version of the Exchange System. If they want to redeem items, they will need to do so through normal Awakened ones like you.
“Thirdly, you might hope dearly that your guild members can be resurrected, but can you be certain that they too, would want that? At any rate, they are now living a normal life as normal humans.
“That’s why... while I can provide you with the opportunity, in the end, I hope that you will carefully consider it first. Once you make that decision, there’ll be no going back.”
Phoenix’s eyelids trembled slightly and she turned away from Chen Xiaolian before nodding lightly.
“Here.”
Chen Xiaolian brought out a green card from his pocket and slid it across the table, placing it before Phoenix. “Your ID card.”
“This is...” Phoenix picked up the card and looked at it.
There was only a big ‘0’ on the front side. On its back was a serial number
“Zero City’s entry card. The one I gave you has unlimited access. You can activate the card at any time to create a passage to Zero City.” Chen Xiaolian stood up. “Naturally, you may choose to stay here for now. At any rate, you won’t be called into the instance dungeon here.”
“Resident... status?” Phoenix was surprised. “You’re giving it to me to easily? Do you know how hard it was to obtain this resident status in the past?”
“I’m the boss now. I get to call the shots. You’re my friend. What’s wrong with giving you a resident status? If you need anything, housing for example, just tell the management program about it. It will respond to you always.” Chen Xiaolian smiled.
“Thank you, Chen Xiaolian.” Phoenix kept the card and there was a solemn expression on her face as she looked at Chen Xiaolian.
“Don’t mention it.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head. “Back then, you accompanied me into the Bran instance dungeon. I have to repay that favour.”
“There is that.” A bright smile bloomed upon Phoenix’s face. “Then, I will stay here for a few days. Once I make up my mind, I will tell you.”
“You can stay as long as you want.” Chen Xiaolian then got up and pushed open the door. Suddenly, he sighed and turned back towards Phoenix.
“Finding you was quite easy, but that Han Bi... it’s hard. I had also promised him.”
Back then, as they were being sent out from the instance dungeon, Chen Xiaolian had not expected Gabriel and Cheng Cheng to split them up. He had not given Phoenix and Han Bi any way to contact him in advance.
Finding Phoenix had been relatively easy. At any rate, he did go to Bucharest to find Phoenix once before. And while he encountered some twists and turns, he did meet up with her in the end.
Han Bi, on the other hand...
Who knows where that fellow is hiding right now?
“You sure are trustworthy. If I was him, hearing your words would make me very touched.” Phoenix gave a beautiful smile.
“Forget it... I’ll take it slow.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head and left the café that did not serve coffee.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
