Chapter 454: Who has betrayed us?

While Alexander Deathwill and his family continued significant progress across mortal continents, taking down villain guilds and antagonists’ allies, Yasir had sensed the change in a few of his close friends’ attitudes.

In a grand castle, by the grand table, the antagonists’ leader and the strongest antagonists had gathered — it seemed like the usual meeting.

“Erik. I’m glad you have successfully escaped with your friends,” Yasir started in a soft and nice tone, sounding relieved as one of his people had been in serious jeopardy.

Erik, who had been working in Alex’s first continent until recently, fled the conquered kingdoms because of The Lost Kingdom. The existences out of his reach had entered that dark world and threatened to kill anyone who dared to peek into their dwelling.

Unfortunately, Erik wasn’t aware of it, and so he had a clash with the person… he detested and hated to the bone.

“Blackburn Blade is here, for whatever reason… And he has a strong ally,” Erik replied indifferently, his attitude much different than before. He wasn’t like Yasir’s admirer he used to be in the past.

Yasir curved his lips, scrutinizing Erik’s body language and voice, then abruptly stood up. A few figures tensed, their hands covertly extending to where their weapons should be, then their eyes reflected Yasir’s smiling figure.

He parted his lips, then asked, “Who has betrayed us?”

“You! You dare to talk about betrayal?!” Yumi stood up; the second strongest antagonist brandished her sword at Yasir, her voice urging her allies to stand up as well. More figures by the round table stood up, including Erik.

Yasir was left with just two allies, who were known as battle maniacs.

“Have you never thought that Blackburn Blade played you all?” Yasir asked with composure. “What if he showed you a fake memory? Has that thought never crossed your mind?”

“It was real,” Yumi replied. “We know well Blackburn Blade’s personality and madness. He never used any tactics to sow chaos in our ranks, even while we were players. He also has no means to temper his memory like that, as he is a fucking swordsman.

Moreover, he couldn’t have prepared it beforehand because he didn’t expect us to appear at that time.”

To show how reliable system was, Yumi slapped the table with her hand and the system message became like cinema, showcasing Blackburn Blade’s show in the Mirror World.

Everyone stood silent, their eyes rippling with emotions.

Yasir glanced at his two allies. They were people who wanted to go to Paradise to summon their one beloved, and for that reason, they wouldn’t betray him to stand beside Yumi, who clearly wanted to keep two worlds intact.

There were more antagonists who had their reason to stay beside Yasir, even if he had betrayed them in the past. Their reasons and Yasir’s charm made them follow the antagonist’s leader.

He also had a good army already, for The Light Church soon would fall into Yasir’s hands.

With that and Yumi and her allies’ hatred, Yasir felt bold enough to call out all betrayals to talk with them.

“Very well,” Yasir chuckled, “Then we are enemies from now on. Since you have many allies on your side, and my people stay in the Light Church Realm, I must leave our lovely antagonist realm. But I will return soon; keep that in mind.”

Everyone glared at Yasir and his buddies who followed him. They felt like fighting here would be disadvantageous for the future, and as Yasir had suddenly revealed his sharp instincts by calling them betrayals, no one had enough time to prepare for a long battle, to say nothing of keeping Yasir in the antagonists’ realm.

“Why?” Yumi asked just before Yasir disappeared.

He turned around, smiled mysteriously at her, then said, “Why did I not kill Blackburn Blade? Well, I will reveal it to the person who manages to defeat me, I suppose. There’s no second chance after this world, right? Just know that many thoughts went through my mind… and the conclusion was me dying to his sword.”

“Bastard…” Yumi growled with her allies. After Yasir disappeared, the round table suddenly crumbled into pieces as Yumi and others vented out their hatred on it. It also made them think of Yasir.

“Contact Alexander Deathwill,” Yumi parted her lips then.

“Our worst problem is that players still think of this world as a game… Though more and more have a suspicion that there’s more to it, they can’t believe themselves, and that’s normal because who normal would believe?” Alex uttered those words after leaving a sky-scratcher in one of the countries on Earth.

His father was by his side.

Harvey sighed, “They love Avander World. It’s a world where they can run away from their responsibilities and problems. People reveal their real selves in that world, too, just because they have power and slightly different looks. Some people found their real selves in that world, too. It’s a precious world to everyone, so you must use it to your advantage.”

Alex glanced at his father, contemplating his words.

Harvey grinned, patted his son’s shoulder, then said, “You have contact with the high-level existences; you are one of them, too. If the antagonists could start the event, you can also fabricate your own with your girls. When the final battle comes, start an event that will decide the Avander World’s future. Tell players that the game will be shut down if they lose. I reckon that this will make even villains work together with your alliance.”

“I see,” Alex nodded. He surely could do it with all influence he had in the Avander World. “But for now, we must deal with the antagonists.”

Alex and his father’s eyes gleamed in a killing intent.

And as they casually walked out of the skyscraper, the sound of police cars rang out in their ears. There were many of them, in fact. People also ran away from the same building with screams and horrified expressions.

“There’s been murder! Ten people died!” Someone screamed out of their lungs.

“Ten high-level existences from The Light Church, you mean…” Harvey spoke in a chilling tone. His son nodded seriously. He then looked behind and saw more guardians escaping through the bustling crowd.

Having done his research, Alex knew that The Light Church was closer to evil than dullahans and even the soul grave-keeper.

And killing them and their allies on Earth surely would help them save two worlds.
