Chapter 1659 1659: Who Calls the Shots

"??"

The assassin quickly turned around, and the tavern owner's honest, round face, adorned with a smile, appeared before him.

"Sir, it's a small business…"

"I…"

Hearing the tavern owner's words, the assassin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"What does that have to do with me! I didn't break that bench." The assassin waved his arms, trying to break free from the tavern owner's grip.

However, at that moment, the tavern owner's control was on par with that of the guards; how could a mere assassin possibly escape?

"If you hadn't been in the way, the bench wouldn't have broken!" The tavern owner still wore a naive smile.

"You're just trying to scam me! Why don't you go after him?" The assassin angrily pointed at Darknorth Fisher.

"Because he is a friend of the city lord", the tavern owner replied, leaving everyone present speechless.

"Haha, what a joke…"

Seeing the assassin in such an awkward position, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect couldn't help but laugh out loud; they never expected the NPCs to be so entertaining.

As for Sanguine Thousand Miles, his face turned red with embarrassment. He had planned to establish dominance by killing someone in front of the Quan Zhen Sect, but unexpectedly found himself in such an embarrassing situation. One can only imagine how he felt.

"Guiwu, come back!" Sanguine Thousand Miles ordered the assassin with a dark face.

Reluctantly, the assassin pulled out a gold coin and stuffed it into the tavern owner's hand before sulkily returning to the group.

Seeing Sanguine Thousand Miles in such an awkward state, Wang Yu smiled and said, "Everyone from Quan Zhen is my friend; we're all among friends here. If Sanguine has something to say, he can say it directly. We still need to go farm dungeons."

"Haha!" Sanguine Thousand Miles, pretending to be calm, forced a laugh and said, "Brother Iron Bull is indeed straightforward. Then I'll be frank: since ancient times, people have clustered with those of similar kind. I think Brother Iron Bull's skills deserve a better development; those lowly guilds can only hold you back."

"Damn!"

Hearing Sanguine Thousand Miles' derogatory description of the Quan Zhen Sect, the members' expressions darkened as they all drew their weapons.

Damn, there are plenty of bold guild leaders, but this bastard is the first to insult the Quan Zhen Sect to their faces.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the members of the Quan Zhen Sect draw their weapons, the few people beside Sanguine Thousand Miles also took up a stance.

"Lowly?"

As both sides were about to clash, Wang Yu casually glanced at the members of the Quan Zhen Sect and couldn't help but laugh, "That description is quite fitting."

"Haha… Does Brother Iron Bull agree?"

Upon hearing Wang Yu's response, Sanguine Thousand Miles thought Wang Yu was not on good terms with the Quan Zhen Sect and quickly climbed the ladder of flattery, "Good birds choose good trees to perch on. I wonder if Brother Iron Bull is willing to develop with our Sanguine Alliance."

"That's not necessary." Wang Yu waved his hand dismissively.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sanguine Thousand Miles frowned and asked, "Does Brother Iron Bull look down on our Sanguine Alliance?"

"No, no, no…" Wang Yu shook his head, "I just look down on you."

As he spoke, Wang Yu surveyed the members of the Quan Zhen Sect and added, "At least this group of lowly people won't make one feel nauseous."

Although Wang Yu usually appeared ruthless and cold-hearted when it came to killing, those who knew him understood that he had a relatively easy-going temper and wouldn't bear hatred or dislike for anyone without reason. However, he felt extreme disgust for Sanguine Thousand Miles.

Stealing someone's members in a game isn't uncommon, but doing it in front of others is no longer just a simple case of poaching; it's blatant contempt, thinking one can do as they please.

It was said that the Quan Zhen Sect had low standards and eccentric personalities, but such disrespectful behavior was something even the lowly members of the Quan Zhen Sect would disdain. It was hard to understand where Sanguine Thousand Miles got his confidence, thinking he was more appealing than the lowly sect.

"You!!!"

At Wang Yu's words, Sanguine Thousand Miles exploded, pointing at him with his finger trembling in agitation.

From Sanguine Thousand Miles' usual demeanor, it was clear that he had a high opinion of himself. He believed that with the Sanguine Alliance being such a large guild, both in power and finances, it far surpassed the small, low-quality group of the Quan Zhen Sect.

But little did he know that in Wang Yu's eyes, he was even beneath that group. Sanguine Thousand Miles couldn't hold back and shouted, "You better watch your words, or I'll make sure you can't walk out of this door."

As he spoke, Sanguine Thousand Miles waved his hand, and a player behind him opened the tavern door. Outside was a crowd of people, indicating that the tavern had been surrounded by the Sanguine Alliance.

Of course, Wang Yu was quite experienced when it came to being surrounded; the Sanguine Alliance was just a small matter.

Wang Yu casually glanced outside and said, "Oh? Do you know who calls the shots in Twilight City?"

"Could it be you?" Sanguine Thousand Miles scoffed.

Clearly, Sanguine Thousand Miles hadn't done his homework before coming; he only knew that Wang Yu was a master-level blacksmith and that the Quan Zhen Sect had once won a professional league championship, but he was completely ignorant about the rest.

It's not entirely Sanguine Thousand Miles' fault for being uninformed; he was new here and seemed to think that knowing these few things was sufficient.

The players of the Sanguine Alliance were not familiar with Sanguine Thousand Miles, the newcomer. Even those who were familiar with him didn't care for his personality and avoided him. Who would explain the Quan Zhen Sect's matters to him?

Was it considered glorious for a large guild of tens of thousands to be pushed down by a handful of players?

If it were that easy to say, the Sanguine Warflag wouldn't have suffered such humiliation and been unable to explain it.

After all, Sanguine Thousand Miles was the boss, and such embarrassing matters could affect his future, so it was best kept secret.

"Yes, he calls the shots!"

At that moment, a player behind Sanguine Thousand Miles, who recognized the members of the Quan Zhen Sect, cautiously spoke up. After finishing, he politely nodded towards Wang Yu, his eyes filled with fear.

As the first guild targeted by Wang Yu since the game started, the players of the Sanguine Alliance, especially the veterans, had an indescribable shadow cast by Wang Yu.

When they arrived, Sanguine Thousand Miles only told everyone that he was going to talk about something, and although his tone was unfriendly, that was the usual tone large guilds used when negotiating. The players of the Sanguine Alliance didn't question it. However, when they saw that the target of the negotiations was the Quan Zhen Sect, everyone was taken aback.

Now, seeing Sanguine Thousand Miles recklessly try to provoke the most dangerous person in Twilight City, those who had entered with him were even considering leaving the guild immediately.

Everyone was a skilled player accustomed to the ways of large guilds; leaving the Sanguine Alliance meant they could join another guild, but if they provoked the Quan Zhen Sect… tsk, tsk, the consequences were unimaginable.
