Chapter 1830 1830. Entertainment while Waiting

"You had a meeting with the league factions yesterday?" Wilted asked. She had been away doing her own matters the last two days, so she was unaware of the meeting.

"Yes, we discussed their positions and roles in the coming war against the underworld forces. You sounded surprised?" John asked.

"In the original game we designed, the league factions remained neutral to the end," Wilted answered.

"Even with the underworld threat that will wipe out everything, including them? That doesn't sound very realistic," Jack said.

"It's a game," Wilted answered. "We can't just have everyone take action. It will be too much of a mess. The original design only has the players and the country armies battling the underworld forces."

"Perhaps it's because this world is now real, so they behave more realistically," Paytowin offered his opinion.

"Probably," Wilted said.

"It doesn't matter how. As long as they are willing to help, that's a good thing for us," Jack said.

"It is," John agreed. "Though I doubt their addition is anywhere enough to cover the shortfall of players and native armies that should have faced the underworld forces in the original design."

John was looking at Wilted while saying that. Wilted responded with, "That's correct."

"Well, then we have to make full use of what we got," John said.

They continued chatting more. After a while, John asked, "Is everyone here?"

He was making a headcount. Some people outside the twenty-four also came, probably to say goodbye like Domon. So, he couldn't tell if everyone was here even when there were more than twenty-four people already.

"We are short one person. Damn it! Where is that damned sailor?" John cursed. He sent a message to Will to ask about his whereabouts.

While he was sending the message, the others continued to chat with each other in groups. Wilted's gang was hanging with their own group.

"Hey! What the heck is this about leaving?" John came after hearing the commotion. "We don't have time to shit around. We can't go and find new people. We have to leave this morning!"

"Okay. If we lose, I will give the two of you unique-grade equipment suitable for your class. How about that?" Wilted said to David and Freddie.

"That's fine," David said.

Handsome Joe came to Badass and said, "You do know that gunner is the participant in the world tournament, don't you?"

"That's a long time ago. If he is still in the elite class, then he doesn't have many skills available. By now, we who have special class are surely superior."

Joe shrugged. He could see there was no talking Badass down. He should let the guy do this, or Badass would whine about it the entire journey.

"Who will fight with me?" Badass asked.

"I will be your partner," Nameless said.

"What's the rule? We can't have them kill each other and lose one level, can we?" Wilted asked.

"How about this? Whoever loses more than half their HP or is forced out of the arena is considered lost," Jack suggested.

"What arena?" Everyone asked.

"We will mark an area with the size of twenty-by-twenty meters," Jack said. "John, I know you have a chalk. Will you do the honor, please?"

"Your Majesty, can I suggest we do this outside?" Thaergood asked. He was not keen on having people fight inside the throne room.

"This will just take ten minutes. It will be a hassle to move elsewhere. Let's just take this as entertainment while we wait for our last member," Jack said.

"Entertainment..."

Badass and Nameless were speechless upon hearing Jack's words. They were fighting to prove their points, but for Jack, this was only entertainment? They felt fired up. They were going to prove that they were right!
