Chapter 85: Different From The Rest

'That tribute seems rather excessive.'

"Excessive? No." Michael shook his head, stopping the car in front of the hospital.

"Why will she ask to be our Ally? A Guild as powerful as hers don't need help from a Guild holding top 100th on the ranking board, so I'm just curious."

'Maybe she has a valid reason for her decision.'

"That's what I want to find out." He took the bag on the seat behind him and got out of the car.

Drakon flew out and landed on his shoulder. 'What do you think it's the reason?'

Michael was silent walking towards the entrance. "She doesn't need the Guild's help, she needs Supreme and Queen-Of-Death." He walked past the Securities, who were staring at him with awe.

BEEP!

"About time, Yes." He stated.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

FIRST CITY: AMERISA.

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.

"Let me get this right, you proponed the meeting yesterday to today just to ask if some of my members can be your bodyguards? Is that really why you called me here, Mr president?" Theo asked taking a sip of coffee, staring at the man sitting in front of him.

The president who has gray hair and black eyes heaved a sigh staring at the man who was feared by many, mostly known as the invincible Joker.

"Yes, I'll be going on an event five days from now, that's on Friday. I will need powerful bodyguards." The president said calmly.

Theo turned his head to the two Bulky men behind him. "What about these two? They are both platinum medal 3-stars holders, One step to enter Gold medal--" he looked back at the president.

"How do you--?"

"--Don't ask, Mr president. When a player enters the Gold medal, they can detect a player's rank by their Mana wave. Now back to the subject." Theo placed the glass on the table.

"How many members are we talking here? And what rank?"

"I'll say Four gold medal holders and one Diamond medal." The president said without hesitation. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Umm..." Theo relaxed, resting his back on his seat. "The Kings have a total of 15 Gold medal holders, and 5 Diamond medal holders. So we can meet up with your requirement." He fixed his gaze at the President.

"I hope you know our pay?"

The president stretched out his hand, which has his platinum bracelet. Theo nodded and stretched his, The president successfully transferred a total of 100,000 years of life times. No shitting around.

"Good. They'll reach the White House two days from now." He stood up.

"If that's all, I'll have my leave."

Before he could move an inch, all their bracelets let out a Beep! Sound.

"I don't get, why is AI announcing a Guild War?" The president asked. Both him and his huge bodyguards were confused.

"AI only announce if a player holding Top 1–30 on the leader ranking board is in a Guild. I'm guessing Supreme or Queen-Of-Death is responsible for making it public."

"Supreme? Queen-Of-Death? Why will those two be in a Guild. Search these two Guilds in AI, I want to know if they are in one Guild." The president said to his guards, who quickly got on with it.

"Mr president! They all both in The Conquerors!!" The guard exclaimed, his voice filled with shock.

The president was silent. He thought for a moment and said. "Send this message out; [Player Supreme is in The Conquerors.] Make sure you remain anonymous."

"Yes, Mr president." The man nodded.

"What are you planning, Mr president?" Theo asked in mild confusion.

The president grinned. "The Guild war only prove one thing, Supreme is in Amerisa. Having such a player in my city is a good thing. And letting others know only made it better."

"But... Will it settle well with Supreme?"

"He won't know I'm the one." He smiled. "On that day, I'll know who this supreme is."

"I will take my leave then." He picked up his glass and gulped his coffee down. "Thanks for the Coffee." He dropped the glass on the table and walked out.

"This man." The president shook his head and said to his bodyguards. "Book a good spot for me, No matter the cost, I want to see the battle without distraction."

The two bodyguards nodded.

NORTHERN SIDE OF AMERISA

ERIKA'S HOME.

"Fufufufu.... That isn't the right way Erika." Maria said with a chuckled, staring at Erika who was busy trying to knit a sweater.

Erika raised her head from the entangled wool in her hand, staring daggers at Maria.

"Don't give me that look, you and wool aren't friends."

Erika placed the mess she called sweater on the couch. "Then I'll watch you." She said.

"You just returned from your 15th game, you should rest." Maria gave her a bright smile.

Erika sighed and relaxed on the couch, remembering her last game. She looked at her sister and asked. "Do you think I'm bad and heartless?"

"Huh?" Maria was stunned, not expecting such a question. "Why asked that?"

"Everyone in my last game said I'm heartless, cold and wicked. It's bad for killing 10 players who tried to ask for my real name?"

Maria blinked thrice, staring at her elder sister with a dumbfounded expression. "You... You... You killed ten players because they asked for your name?" She stammered, still in disbelief.

Erika was silent, not answering her question.

Maria sighed. "Let me guess, they are all guys."

She nodded slowly.

"I don't know why you dislike the opposite Sex so much, if it's because of what we faced in the past. You have to let that go, that isn't our life anymore, all thanks to you. But... Not all guys are pervert and always up to no good. Some just want to be your friend."

"You don't know that. In VRG, everyone is for his/ herself. No one can be trusted."

"Mmm... The only guy I'd seen you approach willingly is... What is his name again?" Maria thought with a smirk on her face.

"Michael." Erika muttered subconsciously.

"That's the one, I have been watching you Erika. After that day in the fine star restaurant, you are always thinking about him, always lost in thought--"

"--I'm Not! You are seeing things, Maria." Erika retorted.

Maria rolled her eyes, "you are 21 Erika, you should follow your heart."

Erika looked at Maria with confusion on her face. "What do you mean follow my heart?"

"You'll understand sooner or later." Maria stated, then remained silent.

Erika didn't say anything for a while, then stood up. "I don't know what you are saying, but all I know is he's different from the rest."

Maria smiled and asked. "How different?"
