Chapter 1269 Checkmate

Liam did not say anything and continued walking. They soon arrived at the specific room and saw that there were four fairies at the entrance as opposed to the one stationed outside previously.

Everyone's face changed as they could instantly feel that something was amiss. When they opened the door and entered inside, the proof was staring right at their faces.

Inside the teleportation portals room, a group of beastkin stood with hostile expressions on their faces as if they were waiting to skewer anyone who entered.

Liam's gaze swept over the group. Two of them were even busy tapping away at their system interfaces and whispering something in hushed tones, clearly sending messages.

Ignoring them, Liam directly approached the fairy in charge of the teleportation portals though he could guess what was going to happen.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience, Grandmaster. The teleportation portals are currently occupied and cannot be used."

"How is that possible? Aren't the teleportation portals a system shop's main feature?"

"I-" The fairy began to explain when suddenly a loud alarm sounded and a red screen flashed in front of everyone.

[Ding! System Shop Maintenance Initiated. Please use the nearest exit to vacate the system shop]

Liam swiped the notification away but it kept popping up again and again. Not just that but all of a sudden the fairies started escorting everyone out of the respective floors onto the ground floor and then out of the main exit.

The group stood at the entrance of the system shop. As they peered out, they could already see the dense crowd standing around in the street. The previously quiet street was now occupied like a festival, teeming with people of various races and backgrounds, all eager to witness the unfolding drama.

Each and every single one of them was a vulture waiting to feast on the meat of their dead bodies, hoping to pick out something tasty before the bigger predator snatched everything for itself.

"We are fucked." Rey craned his neck and yet he couldn't see where the crowd ended.

Madan already started summoning all of his pets. The past few days of training in the fighting pits had helped him make tremendous progress in his path.

Even though it seemed like they were all screwed, he was determined not to go down without at least taking some of them down with him.

It was one thing to fight against insect swarms when they were completely outnumbered but these were all not mere insects. They were seasoned veteran combatants, probably with a lot more experience when compared to them.

How could they possibly fight their way out of this mess?

As if reading everyone's thoughts, Liam fished out something from his robe. "We won't be doing any fighting. Like I said before, stick close to me when we step out. Don't do anything. Just stick close to me and I will take care of everything."

The others did not understand what was happening but Eldrin's eyes flashed with glee. "You prepared an instantaneous teleportation token. Thank you, my Lord."

Eldrin knew that these were expensive as hell and one would have to blow out a huge crater in their funds to purchase one. But on the plus side, all these bugs waiting to dig into their blood would only have to watch while they teleport away easily.

Liam had indeed thought of everything. With this, their safe trip was all but guaranteed.

Liam took a step outside and the group followed. The next second, the token in his hand glowed brightly. Eldrin grinned. Dante gaped in shock.

However... nothing happened.

Absolutely nothing at all happened.
