Chapter 1625 1625: Paying for One's Actions
"Brother Fearless, I really owe you one this time! Once this matter is settled, there will definitely be a generous reward."
Seeing Fearless quickly deduce who the opponent was, Evil Rampage excitedly grabbed Fearless's hand, not knowing how to express his gratitude.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.
Although Evil Rampage was strong and had a vast influence, if he did not know who his opponent was, he would be completely in the dark, with strength that couldn't be utilized. By the time he figured out who his opponent was, it would likely be too late, as that opponent's power would have already surpassed his own.
Now that Fearless had analyzed the target information, Evil Rampage began to shift from a passive state to taking control of the situation.
In the rapidly changing battlefield of the law, only those who can grasp the initiative can control the entire field.
Evil Rampage was well aware of the style of the Quan Zhen Sect; these people, who never do anything without benefit, had not only rescued him from encirclement but also helped him significantly. Out of both reason and sentiment, he felt compelled to express his gratitude.
"There's no need to say that; it sounds too formal."
However, the normally opportunistic Fearless waved his hand and said, "Don't forget, our Quan Zhen Sect is also sponsored by you, so in a sense, we can be considered your confidants and subordinates. Helping you out is part of our duty. If you want to thank someone, thank your brother instead."
"Tch! What does that have to do with me?"
Wang Yu shrugged indifferently upon hearing this.
Although Wang Yu claimed it had nothing to do with him, Evil Rampage understood better. The Quan Zhen Sect was well-known in the game; if it weren't for Wang Yu's usual loyalty, these unruly characters would not have helped for free. At this moment, they might even be part of a guild looking to seize territory.
Of course, expressing gratitude among brothers is often seen as being overly formal.
Evil Rampage looked at Wang Yu meaningfully and said, "Alright! Now that things have come to this point, I have a clearer idea. I need to go deal with the aftermath. Brothers, let's part ways here."
With that, Evil Rampage cupped his fists in salute to the Quan Zhen members.
It was clear that Evil Rampage was an ambitious person. With such a large incident occurring within his guild, he felt embarrassed to have been saved by the Quan Zhen Sect. At this moment, whether in terms of face or sentiment, he felt he couldn't trouble the Quan Zhen Sect any further.
After all, cleaning up one's own mess is part of Evil Rampage's responsibilities. With so many brothers in Peerless Heaven, it would be disgraceful to need to ask for help in dealing with a few external players. Fearless's emotional intelligence is high, otherwise, why would he voluntarily refer to himself as someone else's sponsored subordinate? He was just trying to preserve Evil Rampage's dignity.
After saying that, Evil Rampage spread his wings and was about to take off.
At this moment, Fearless reached out and stopped him, asking, "Are you just going to leave like this? Do you even know where the enemy is?"
"We can investigate! We have a few brothers in Peerless Heaven whose 'Thousand-Mile Eyes' are maxed out", Evil Rampage replied.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Fearless sneered, "Do you think your brothers will listen to you right now?"
"Uh..."
Evil Rampage was momentarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, the Dark Alliance was currently aggressively acquiring mining areas, while other guilds were not as closely aligned with the Quan Zhen Sect as Sanguine Alliance was.
Although everyone was reluctant, they wouldn't hesitate to sell off the hot potato if it meant avoiding being targeted by Peerless Heaven.
But who knew what Peerless Heaven's members were thinking? Seeing the Dark Alliance snatching up mining areas one by one, the players in Peerless Heaven realized they needed to change their boss...
At this point, apart from Evil Rampage's trusted confidants, no one else would stand with him. Who would dare to get involved when they didn't even know who their current boss was? They would be risking their livelihoods.
"One must always stay calm when doing things!" Fearless said calmly. "Without mining areas in your hands, who will listen to you? Are you planning to buy back your own things?"
Evil Rampage's words were once again blocked by Fearless.
The mining areas were now in the hands of those big guilds, and although they were seized from Peerless Heaven, in the game, territory belonged to whoever was stronger.
The leaders of these large guilds were all very shrewd, and they certainly wouldn't return the territory they fought hard to seize without a reason.
So for Evil Rampage to confront the Dark Alliance, the only way was to bid to acquire the mining areas, just like the Dark Alliance.
However, Fearless's words directly extinguished Evil Rampage's thoughts.
In Evil Rampage's mind, those mining areas were originally his; they were merely taken away. Spending money to buy back what was rightfully his just didn't sit well with him.
"What should we do then?" Evil Rampage pondered for a moment and asked Fearless, "We can't just watch our mining areas and brothers get taken away by others, right?"
"Haha!"
Fearless laughed heartily, "Taken away by others? That's not going to happen. The Dark Alliance is just paying for their actions; I will make sure they return those mining areas intact."
"Really?"
Hearing that he could retrieve all the mining areas without spending money, Evil Rampage's eyes brightened, "So what should we do now?"
"Let the bullets fly for a while!"
Fearless said confidently, "There's no hurry for them to consume all the mining areas."
"If they consume all the mining areas, they'll become a force to be reckoned with."
Evil Rampage responded somewhat surprisingly, "At that point, we might not be able to deal with them."
"Don't worry!" Fearless said sagely, "Where there's a will, there's a way; by that time, someone will definitely come to help us."
"Well... alright!"
Although Evil Rampage felt very uncertain, he also knew of Fearless's capabilities. Since Fearless had said so, he must have a plan. After hesitating for a moment, Evil Rampage ultimately decided to follow Fearless's lead, knowing that if Fearless couldn't handle it, he certainly wouldn't be able to either.
...
Just as Fearless had anticipated, the Dark Alliance was actually the Black Dragon Guild, and the mastermind behind it all was the leader of the Black Dragon Guild, Black Dragon King.
It was no surprise; to bring a few hundred people across the sea to cause trouble in the national server and use such insidious methods to undermine the largest guild, Peerless Heaven, one would need uncommon boldness and intelligence.
While the Quan Zhen members speculated about who the opponent was, the players of the Dark Alliance had already begun their acquisition efforts.
The reason only a few hundred members of the Black Dragon Guild came was not only due to concerns about attracting attention; in reality, those who understood Chinese and could communicate normally among them only numbered in the hundreds.
In the current situation, all the guilds holding mining areas were eager to sell off their mining areas as quickly as possible. Thus, under the direction of Black Dragon King, the acquisition of mining areas was proceeding exceptionally smoothly.
