Chapter 655 Someone was following me

Chapter 655 Someone was following me

"So you are telling me that more and more rogue players are starting to target our guild parties? That too, our core team guild parties?" Alex couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Their guild had a huge advantage with respect to the overall player level. Out of the top 10 spots, they alone held six spots, and out of the top 50 spots, they held 20 more spots. So how could this happen?

"Miss Alex, they are ambushing us with numbers, and that too, not with a group of low level players but high level players. We out level them by maybe 5 or 6 levels.

"This is why we are not able to maintain our upper hand. And some of these players are not newbies. They are quite experienced and are coordinating very well."

Alex nodded. She also understood the situation. Something was off. It was not easy to pressure their core team. So where did all of these high-level players suddenly come from?

Even if they lacked skills, with enough high-level players and average coordination, it was still possible to shake down a team of experts and that is if there are no monsters among this team of experts.

Their main problem at the moment was that all the monsters in their guild were either AWOL or busy doing their own things.

Liam, Mia, and Derek had all disappeared, and no one was even able to contact them. Their names were grayed out, and all communication was cut off.

Shen Yue and Mei Mei were still there with their legendary items, but it was not possible for just the two of them to be everywhere. This was why the guild was currently struggling.

Alex rapped her fingers on the table in front of her in deep thought. It was true that their guild at the moment was missing its strongest players, but how did this information get out? Others should technically not know about this.

With Liam around, no one should even dare touch their guild or their guild members. So if other players were confidently attacking them, it meant that this news was somehow out there.

She asked Rey to distribute the newly acquired arrows. This should help a little, but the main problem was still there.

"Ok, let's do this. Let's regroup our main party and only split into two. Mia, Shen Yue, and Asura will be in one. I will be in the other group. Let's see who is still daring to ambush us."

Everyone agreed to this suggestion. Alex did not spell it out, but everyone there knew that she was also a monster. So with her around and the group numbers strengthened, they should now be able to fight back.

"Miss Alex, the other issue..." Berat spoke up to remind her.

"Right, Dante, the guy who recently became an Alchemy Grandmaster." Alex turned to pay attention to him. "He should be the first Grandmaster player in the game. This is the first time I have seen a notification like this."

She pulled up the system interface and looked at the profession ranking again. She saw Dante's name at the top, and then her eyes automatically began to scan for another familiar name on their own.

However, she could only sigh as Liam was still at the Master level for both professions. There was still no news or updates from his end. She had no idea what the guy was even doing.

"Miss Alex, Dante has issued some sort of ban on our guild. So no one is trading with us anymore. We are getting completely blocked."

"These days raw materials, recipes, and alchemy potions are no longer being put up for auction. There is more direct trading happening behind the scenes."

"So the number of items I have been able to procure for the guild has drastically reduced. I am not able to buy them from the auction house, and no other guild is making any trade with us."

"If this continues, then our potion supply will start to run dangerously low."

"Hmmm…" Alex rubbed her temples, as she was starting to get a headache dealing with all of this administrative crap. She would rather just go to a dungeon and smash things.

She then suddenly remembered the Rock Temple dungeon, which Liam had asked her to monopolize. Because of everything else that was going on, she completely forgot about that one and slacked in that aspect.

If what Liam said was true, then the drops from that dungeon were enough to groom several of their own alchemists and even other professional experts.

"Berat! I will settle this soon." She stood up, banging her fists on the table. "Let's start back up our dungeon runs again. Also, get all of our assassins ready."

"Want to block us from the game? Hmph! I will see how they are doing it."

With that, the meeting was dispersed and all the core members stepped out of the meeting hall to refill their supplies for the guild run. Rey alone hung back to talk to Alex.

"Sis… I am sorry to bring it up, but what about the other issue?"

"What other issue?"

"Sis! I am not lying! Someone was following me. I really saw that man on the street corner."

"Impossible. How could that sleazebag be here? You probably saw someone else."

"No sis, that bastard has sniffed out our new address. He knows where we live now. It's dangerous. What will happen if he tries something shady? I mean we are vulnerable in the game capsules."

"Ok. Fine. Fine. I will think about this and figure out what to do. I still think that you are being paranoid. Mia gave up everything before moving here. There is no way he is still obsessed with her with everything else going on in the world."

But just as she said that out loud, even Alex did not look convinced. Actually, she knew the guy too. He was really obsessed with Mia, so the chances of him letting her go just like that were indeed slim.

"Ok, I will also deal with this." Alex decided to change her thoughts. "Hmmm… I wonder what that guy is doing. It would be better if we talked to him first, especially about this."

She had no problems dealing with in-game issues, but this was a real life one, and they were right now in a different country.

"Rey, I am going to log out real quick and leave a note in the house for Liam. He might not be able to contact us inside the game but if he could log out then I am sure he will check up on us."
