"Nah, nah, nah, what the hell? How has 'TheBoss' covered nearly 350 kilometers while we were offline? Is he riding a horse or a Griffin?"

"This makes no sense…. Did he specifically arrange for a mount and only logged out after jumping into a carriage of some sort? How else did he travel such a long distance while we were offline?"

"Agh, guys, we are fucked, I'm from the Smithsonian guild and we were in Tianmen City until yesterday.

We had traveled all the way to Bilspread town hoping to catch 'TheBoss', however, now he's back near Tianmen….. our time, energy and hopes have been dashed"

"An average mount covers approximately 20-25 kilometers an hour, but 'TheBoss' has covered twice as much distance. Either he has a legendary horse or something, or he's riding goddamn cheetahs" Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Guys at this point, should we consider giving up? TheBoss might actually be invincible…. He's always been two steps ahead of us"

"Guys we must not lose hope so soon! We must kill 'TheBoss' at any cost. If we can't apprehend such a dangerous man within our own lands, we can forget about apprehending him within rebel lands. Even if it feels impossible, we must do it–"

An intense discussion broke off on the forums once the players logged back into the game, with many feelings disheartened regarding TheBoss's progress over the night.

Since most players had no idea that 'TheBoss' could continue playing the game through the night, they assumed that he had logged off while in a carriage of sorts, so that his body's location moved while he was offline.

Nobody suspected that 'TheBoss', was actually online and vigilant the whole time, keeping his secret safe for now.

"Oh hell no guy, 'TheBoss' has already gained 32 levels. It seems like even when we were logged out, he still gained levels for being within the rebel lands.

If this continues, 'TheBoss' who is already invincible at the top of the level charts, might gain a 100 levels from this trip and become even more invincible than before.

I must remind everyone that for every hour that we don't take him down, he keeps becoming stronger…"

"Is it really fair to award an off-line player with levels? Are the operators even being fair to the rest of us?"

"Fair? Mate 'TheBoss' literally has the entire righteous faction hunting him like crazed men right now…. And you're talking about fair? Is having your location exposed every two hours fair?"

Once the players checked the level leaderboards, another major debate sparked off, as many righteous faction players felt disheartened that 'TheBoss' had gained 32 levels since entering the Empire controlled lands.

The operators had decided to award him with +2 levels for every hour that he survived within Empire lands, as a compensation against his location being exposed, however, Leo did not even care for it right now.

He was already 200 levels ahead of the second ranked player and did not actually need the extra levels, as they did little to boost his strength at this point.

For him, having an additional 32 levels only barely increased his overall strength by +1%, as after gaining 700 levels in the game and thousands of stat points, the percentage increase in his power for gaining a few more wasn't as significant as before.

However, the cumulative effect was pretty good, as although+32 levels wasn't much, if he managed to survive for a full 2 days within enemy lands and gain +100 levels then the total strength he would gain would become significant.

With most players currently still struggling to gain +1 level a week, there were many who felt incredibly jealous of 'TheBoss' and his gains, however, these players failed to understand that the achievement that the Boss made by staying alive while being hunted by an entire faction was equally impressive.

If any other player were to try this, they would have undoubtedly been killed by now, as only Leo possessed the unique skill set to somehow pull this off.

With Ben and Dumpy by his side, he had powerful yet limited allies by his side that made his party small and agile, yet powerful.

With all three of them knowing how to use [Vanish] and Ben having a lifelong knowledge of how to avoid patrolling soldiers, they were uniquely poised to bypass critical detection points, as without all these abilities, it would be incredibly difficult for Leo to move like he did.

However, with most players only focused on his success and not his brilliance, they did not see this side of his story, which made them feel incredibly jealous of his goodluck.

"Attention all! I have analyzed TheBoss's movement path and have concluded that he's headed for the capital city of StrongHaven!

Hunting him in the wild is going to be futile and although I welcome people to try, I must encourage all the righteous faction rankers to gather in the capital city of StrongHaven, to create our best chances for taking down 'TheBoss'.

Since it takes time for us to travel in this world without teleportation gates, we must decisively decide on a single confrontation spot and I suggest that we do it in StrongHaven.

So please help spread my message as far as possible…." a popular analyst player wrote on the forums, with his message garnering millions of reshares.

Based on Leo's current movement trajectory many other players also came to a similar conclusion that he was headed for StrongHaven, and although there were many who refused to believe it and strongly disagreed over the idea of confronting him in a big city, with most players convinced, the plan was a success nonetheless.

Rankers who could arrive at StrongHaven within the next 8-10 hours began riding hard towards the capital in hopes of confronting 'TheBoss', as the righteous players understood, that if they did not mount a unified offense in StrongHaven, they might never be able to take down 'TheBoss'.
