Chapter 445 Reasons
“How did you find ?” Ye Ci smiled at Breeze.
“The cloak.” he pointed at the Secret Cloak, “I’d naturally recognize the special product of my own guild, wouldn’t I?”
Ye Ci chuckled at his response. Oh, silly . There’s only a hundred of these in the entire ga. With his vast intelligence network, of course he’d be able to track a few individuals equipped with the Secret Cloak down easily. And it would be easier to find Gongzi You among the people with Secret Cloaks.
“I bet it’d be hard for you to find if I’m not wearing this.”
“There’s no if here.” Breeze shook his head, “Aren’t you wearing it right now?”
Ye Ci nodded in agreent. There was no point in wasting ti on sothing so aningless. She continued staring at the screen, at the fight between Lamb With Fangs and Fleeting Ti.
It was an enjoynt to witness a dance between two experts. The two combatants exchanged blows with their swords in a display of skill. She continued observing the fight silently for a few monts before speaking up again, “Co on Breeze. You said that I’m a straightforward person, so please stop beating around the bush.” she continued after a slight pause, “You see, I’m no longer the indomitable Gongzi You anymore. There’s no need to be afraid.”
Breeze chuckled at her words, and that earned him an icy glare from Ye Ci when the two combatants on the screen disengaged briefly from their fight.
But Breeze did not seem to mind. His gaze was fixed on the ongoing duel between Lamb With Fangs and Fleeting Ti. It was as if he had completely forgotten what he had originally wanted to say.
Whatever, it’s not like I’m the one who needs a favor from him. Thought Ye Ci as she returned her attention back to the match.
When the two combatants were once again locked in combat with a flurry of movents, Breeze’s voice entered Ye Ci’s ears once again, “Golden Era will be leaving Fate soon.”
Ye Ci imdiately tensed up upon hearing his words. While her expression remained unchanged, there was a fierce glint in her amber eyes. Breeze stole a sideway glance at Ye Ci. She appeared to not have heard his words, but he knew that she did.
A sense of loneliness washed over Ye Ci. Golden Era was like a mountain that she must scale no matter what in her last life and her current life. She knew that the guild would eventually leave the ga, but she did not expect it to happen so fast.
She could still rember how Golden Era ended up pulling out from Fate three years after the beginning of their sabotage attempt. Fate was crippled in the aftermath, but was able to survive. And the three years in her current life were almost up. It was ti for Golden Era to leave. And she felt lonely.
The Golden Era guild had been a threat that was looming ahead, and was sothing that she had worked very hard to defeat even before they entered the ga. Their presence provided her with her daily dose of entertainnt, but now they were leaving...
“When?” Ye Ci let out a long sigh.
Breeze stared at Ye Ci’s expression for a long ti before letting out a laugh, “Gongzi You, it seems that you do not wish to see us gone.”
“Of course, how am I supposed to get experience points when you leave?” Ye Ci pursed her lips.
Breeze was montarily stunned before he broke into laughter, as if he had heard the best joke in the world. Even Ye Ci was confused. She stared at Breeze, who was shaking with the laughter that rocked his body, “I’m sorry for your loss then.”
Ye Ci snorted as a response.
“I’m not scheming anything against you today. You don’t have to be guarded.” Breeze sighed.
“Well that’s totally not like you.”
“Hey, I’m a good person alright. I was the guy people hired to have a problem solved. Why do you sound like I’m a villain?”
“Is this what they an by ‘a man’s words are kind when death is near’?”
“And this is why I don’t like you. Your words are always so hurtful.” Breeze was not angry. He diverted his attention back to the screen and sat in for a long ti before once again speaking up, “Can Upwards Ho! take in so of my mbers?”
Ye Ci almost gagged by her own saliva when she heard his words, “Didn’t you say that Golden Era is leaving Fate?”
“Yes. The guild is.” Breeze nodded, “But that’s limited only to the guild. I did not say that all of my mbers will be leaving.”
Ye Ci was baffled, “So... Does it an that your mbers will remain here while you disband the guild?”
“Yup, you could say that.”
Ye Ci’s voice grew cold, “What are you planning, Breeze? With the numbers you have, there’s no need for you to join a guild. You can simply start a new one. Why are you doing this?”
Breeze’s smile grew empty as he stared at Ye Ci, “I was twenty years old when I took over as the leader of Golden Era. I’ve only wanted to fulfill my own ambitions back then. And that was why Golden Era continued to grow, to the point where we beca locusts of the gaming world. We’re strong, but our nas were spet upon by many. I’ve visited countless gas with my n, and ended up marrying a girl I like along the way. I have a family now. And my ambitions feel so tiny compared to the responsibilities I must shoulder.”
“Fate was supposed to be my last job. I’ve actually planned to retire even before this, but even I could not escape the temptation of greed. My n did not doubt my decision. And even if I made the wrong choice, it would always be the right one to them. But...” Breeze continued after a slight pause, “My luck is at its end.”
There was a strange glint in his eyes as he looked up at Ye Ci, “To be honest with you, I’ve known about you before I ca to Fate, Gongzi You. I’ve studied you, and dug up all the information I could about you, but even then I still lost to you.” he grimaced, “Fleeting Ti too. The both of you dealt a crushing blow.”
Things would’ve ended differently for Breeze if I have not reincarnated. Thought Ye Ci. Of course, this was not sothing that she could say to him. “Yup. What a sha.” were the only words she could say to the man.
“I’ve grown tired now.” Breeze took in a deep breath, “I no longer want to lead a life dictated by money. I want to enjoy my life.” and the smile returned to his face, “My employer has cut off fundings to us. He wants us out of Fate.”
