Chapter 344: Countermeasures

"So this is what everything's about!" Kieran muttered.
The title mission scroll was a reward for killing the killer player, Nobian.
Other than himself, no one else knew he had the scroll; even Lawless was kept from the fact when he arrived later back then.
So, how did the Broker know this?
In simple words, from the moment Nobian had gotten the [Blade of the Daybreaker] sub scroll, his movements were under Broker's inspection. As far as it was concerned, [Blade of the Daybreaker] sub scroll was a bait released by Broker himself; the purpose was to "fish" out even more killer players!
Broker must have gotten to know the existence of the killer players a long time ago, but he decided to keep an eye closed about it because the killer player's existence had their value to Broker.
Think of Broker's secret bazaar, how many items inside were from the killer players?
Broker must have gotten a clue from a certain item in his bazaar, but after some time, Broker's strength and influence had gotten a substantial enhancement, so he had a different thought about them.
For Broker, it was not that he didn't want the killer players to survive, but he needed a killer squad that he could control and ply to his every order. However, the killer players were hiding too deep; unless they showed themselves, it was hard to determine whether a player was one of them or not.
So, Broker needed a bait. The title mission scroll was such a bait!
By slightly altering the information about the title mission scroll and releasing some other phoney news, it was enough to attract the attention of the killer players. For instance, a title mission scroll could allow 3 to 5 players entry per run.
Other than the one holding on to the main scroll and the other two people with the Unique Title, the Witch and Broker, Kieran couldn't even differentiate the true from the false.
Since the Witch had left the game, no explanation would be ing from her, and as the mastermind behind this grand scheme, Broker of course would not explain the truth about the title mission.
As for the one holding the main scroll?
Those who were blinded by greed would not believe it anyway.
However, amidst the grand scheme, Kieran popped up as a interferer, forcing Broker to alter his original plans, and from the looks of it…
"Broker really did an amazing job!"
Kieran walked towards the window and looked down.
A crowd had quietly gathered beneath the building. Although Kieran had familiarized himself in the shadows, but when he looked down from a high ground, everything was clear.
"Broker told you about the title mission scroll? What about Coll's kidnapping?"
Kieran asked Nightingale once more to confirm.
"It was a special dungeon that could allow a total of five player per entry, not counting towards the normal dungeon run, but only one amongst the five could acquire the title!"
"Coll's kidnapping was also that bastard's order. He wanted me to kidnap Coll and send the news to Lawless!"
Nightingale hesitated a while before she spilled the truth.
"No wonder…" Kieran sighed in his heart. Nightingale's words solidified his theory.
What assassination, what collaboration! Everything was a trap set up by Broker himself. All he wanted was to lead the both of them to the wide square, suitable for getting surrounded.
Not only Kieran and Lawless but also the killer players.
"F*ck!" Lawless clenched his fist and cursed. He was no idiot after all; he quickly understood what had happened when he heard Kieran's question.
"Cursing will only make you look like a losing dog barking non-stop, pitiful and sorrowful. Think of what you should do now! Those reckless, greedy bastards will not listen to what you have to say!"
"A title mission scroll, eh? Pft, sounds really tempting… Lucky little bastard you are!"
Rachel scolded Lawless without holding back and she turned to Kieran, gazing at him with a half-smile, sending chills down Kieran's spine and skin.
Kieran's scalp felt numb once he thought about Rachel's skill when she had appeared.
If Rachel was after the title mission scroll and was determined to get it, he couldn't do anything about it. He might still able to turn it around with a couple of ace cards if it was a face-to-face battle but he wouldn't stand a chance if he was ambushed…
That will be devastating!
"So do I consider myself an innocent man landed in jail because of my precious stone?" Kieran mocked himself with a smile.
"Of course not!" Lawless looked at Rachel with a strict eyes.
"Its a joke! Just a damn joke! Where is the humour in your big muscle-head!"
Rachel scolded again when she was vexed by their odd manner.
"So what should we do now? The goons below are not much of a problem, but they outnumber us. If it was me alone, I could get out of here unharmed... but with you people? Not possible!" Rachel said.
"No need for all of us, just 2567 will be enough. Their objective is 2567. Once he is gone, the situation will solve itself!" Lawless pointed at Kieran.
"But Broker's goal will still be pleted! His original goal is not me but the killer players below. Think of it this way: when the killer players were forced to a desperate situation, how many of them would throw their lives for a risk? I guess most of them will choose to side Broker! Now that Broker has uglified the situation with us, will he let us go after his forces grow?"
"Besides, he will definitely send us "pliance invites
