Charismatic.
That was the impression Isaac got when he saw Ling Tian, the strongest hunter and leader of the number one guild in China. The man and his entourage walked through the crowd, the golden gleam of the red armor attracting all the attention of the hunters.
They were like heroes who saved the day. Everyone thought of them that way, the Nine Sky mbers were no exception.
"It's always been like this. I wonder whether they are hunters or celebrities."
"They are in a different class."
"I heard that the Golden Dragon helped with the dungeon break in Arica. Thanks to them, the relations between China and Arica improved, even though it seed impossible before."
"Can you guys shut up!?" Wang Yi scolded her n. "If my sister hears you; You will definitely be fired."
Instantly, they were silent.
Isaac noticed that Wang Yi had a sour look on her face.
Golden Dragon's and Nine Sky's relationship was like rivals. They competed for the exclusive rights of the dungeon managent. If the two t during a dungeon break, there was always a heated competition to kill the Alpha. And of course, their guild masters, Wang Yi and Ling Tian would be the main stars on the battlefield. The hunters involved would only watch the two of them compete to kill the most enemies.
Unfortunately, Nine Sky often lost to the Golden Dragon. They always managed to steal the spotlight and take all the credit.
It was because of this that Wang Yi could not shake off her sour face. She didn't hate the Golden Dragon, but she was annoyed that people thought her guild was only a sidekick to them. Even more so if the dia compared Wang i and Ling Tian.
Wang Yi's expression grew even more sour when she saw Ling Tian and his n approaching.
"It looks like the situation will heat up," Adit muttered.
And what he said was true. Just as the Golden Dragon group arrived before them, Wang Yi quickly spit out sarcasm.
"You seem to love attention so much that you have to co to us."
The people around watched the eting of the two great guilds. Isaac could hear every sound that ca out of their mouths.
anwhile, Ling Tian seed to put on a friendly smile.
"If my friends and I don't greet you, people will get boisterous…" Ling Tian quoted a word with his finger. "… Look, the Golden Dragon ignored Nine Sky. It seems like Nine Sky is nothing anymore."
Those words irritated Wang Yi even more. Her face scrunched up.
"Oh, now, our guild needs recognition from the Golden Dragon? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Yi replied in annoyance.
Ling Tian snorted. "You thought so, not . I consider Nine Sky to be a rival. Everyone knows it, and keeping it that way is good for your guild. Nine Sky 'still' is still the Golden Dragon's rival."
Isaac saw that Wang Yi was speechless. He could tell the woman was grinding her teeth.
Since the tragedy that befell Nine Sky and the issues related to North Korea, the na of the guild that Wang i raised had dimd. Nine Sky was starting to lose its prestige.
So, what Ling Tian said was a pill that was hard to swallow. If the Golden Dragon still regarded Nine Sky as a rival, then people's views would also be affected. They thought Nine Sky was still on sa level.
Finally, Wang Yi put her emotions aside. Then, she changed the subject.
"So, what are you guys doing here? I heard you were not in China."
"Well, as you know, our guild is helping with the dungeon break in New Orleans, it was done a few weeks ago. I'm here to replace the Fight Club guild who can't participate in the joint raid. So, we ca here."
Wang Yi was silent for a mont. "Then, please co in first. Enjoy your hunting." She wanted to end this show imdiately.
But, Ling Tian didn't think like that.
"Why don't we go in together. I saw you guys just arrived from the helicopter. I'm sure you guys are here to enter the dungeon as well, aren't you?"
Wang Yi snorted. "That's a great idea, but being with a large group will only attract monsters." The woman smiled sweetly. She gave a code that she refused Ling Tian's offer.
The man with slicked back black hair nodded. "Alright, if you guys want to go separately. I thought you guys ca here to find your missing Guild Master; that's why I invite you to join our party."
Suddenly, Wang Yi was furious.
Calling the guild master and her strongest hunter squad lost in the dungeon was like saying they were dead. In her eyes, this was an insult. She was about to vent her anger, but soone grabbed her shoulder.
Isaac stopped Wang Yi.
He signalled to the woman that people were watching them. Even the Nine Sky mbers seed to be holding their breath due to the tension between the two of them. She quickly caught her breath to calm her anger.
On the other hand, Ling Tian raised one of his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there was soone in the Nine Sky who was able to calm such a volatile young woman apart from her older sister.
This was enough to get his attention. Even more so when Isaac stepped forward, replacing Wang Yi as the speaker.
Isaac took out his persona mask. He smiled kindly as if dealing with a guest.
"I'm sorry, Master Ling Tian, our vice guild master is currently in a bad state, moreover with the guild master we haven't made any contact. They are related by blood, of course this is enough to make her depressed. I think anyone who has empathy understands this simple thing."
Liang Tiang narrowed his eyes. He was snapped by Isaac for taking advantage of Wang Yi's weakness, while Wang Yi could only be surprised to hear that.
"Well, I'm just conveying the goodwill to go raid together. I didn't an to offend Miss Wang Yi. I'm not mad that you turned it down."
Isaac smiled. "But, we haven't given our answer yet. Right, Wang Yi?"
Ling Tian raised both of his eyebrows. Wang Yi did the sa thing.
Then, Isaac blinked one of his eyes. Wang Yi quickly understood what the man ant.
"Yeah, I just said moving in large numbers will attract the attention of monsters. I haven't even given my answer yet."
"Eh… Is that so?"
Now, Ling Tian seed to put on a face like a fool. He just realized he had just made a mistake. His intention was to bring up Wang i who had lost contact and snapped Wang Yi for her arrogance, but the opposite happened.
Ling Tian quickly laughed to neutralize the mood and guilt. The people who saw their feud looked even more curious.
"Forgive for drawing my own conclusions. So, how is it? Do you want to join us?"
Wang Yi glanced at Isaac; ask for a decision. Then, the demon gave his approval.
"Of course we accept it. The more people, the more monsters we invite, the better. Right now, we want to hunt them down."
"Oh good. I'm very happy to hear that," Ling Tian replied.
Then, the two of them smiled. Seeing that, Adit sighed in relief, as did the other mbers. They thought that the tension had reduced.
However, Wang Yi and Ling Tian weren't done yet.
"So, who will be the leader?"
Each party had one group leader. If the two parties were combined, then one of the leaders must step down from their position. There couldn't be two maestros in one orchestra. Two leaders in one group would only lead to chaos and miscommunication, especially if they had opposite mindsets.
Wang Yi glanced back at Isaac. She accepted the suggestion to let Ling Tian lead the party.
"Since you are the guild master, you are more worthy of leading us."
Ling Tian seed to smile with satisfaction. "Very well. I gladly accept it. Then, what are you waiting for? Let's go."
The man quickly moved, and the gold-armored army followed closely behind. Then, Wang Yi reluctantly followed them with Isaac, while the Nine Sky mbers stared at each other. They tried to confirm it before moving, and then they followed the leader.
"Sigh, I thought Miss Wang Yi would reject it," Adit muttered.
"I think so too. At least, we can be with the Golden Dragon."
"Yeah, right. Our risk of dying is reduced."
Isaac could hear their whispers, but he chose to remain silent. There was no point in scolding them. Humans, if they warned today, they would still repeat it tomorrow.
On the other hand, unnoticed by anyone, Ling Tian had a frown on his face. He harboured a curiosity for Isaac. In all his life, he had never been toyed with like this.
