Wil parted with his family as soon as the plane landed at Leafway city.
Although he told them that it is because of the luggage, in reality, he wanted to avoid Scott, who ca to the airport to see his wife and children.
After briefly shaking his hands with Scott, Wil inford them that he will return the next morning with his luggage after having a sleep and left right away with Silver and the bodyguards.
Scarlet Apartnts, Sarton Street, Leafway city;
*Creak*
Wil opens the door to see it's nice and clean as always. Having a quick shower, he lies on the bed and stare at the ceiling, falling into thoughts.
"Okay, for the next month, I need to do sothing about War Online. At any rate, Mia and Rey shouldn't know that Ti Traveler is . But staying away for several hours every day is the sa as going back on my words. Hmm"
Slowly, he drifted into sleep.
The next day morning, on the tenth floor of the Venus Apartnts in the neighborhood, Scarlet was walking back and forth in the living room.
She was constantly checking her mobile phone.
Currently, no one is presented in the house.
Scott had gone to work; Mia and Rey have gone to their respective schools on their mother's insistence.
It was because she wanted to let her soon feel like he was at ho as a family mber, not as so guest.
*Ring*
"Hello, Silver." She picked it up at the first ring.
"Ma'am, we reached the place." Silver inford her in advance, just in case.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang once.
"Fuu" Taking a deep breath, Scarlet walked to the door and opened it with a smile. "Wil, you are here."
She stepped forward and hugged him as a greeting, but, Wil didn't reciprocate the sa.
He simply asked where he should put the luggage in return.
Scarlet was disappointed inside but watching Wil for the past few days, she knew it's not going to be easy either.
As it is a triple bedroom apartnt, Wil got his own room to sleep and he was satisfied with it.
Originally, the room was used to hold two Sumrsoft capsules. But now that Wil occupied the room, they were shifted to Rey and Mia's room separately.
She then told him about the others about why no one is present at ho.
Wil nodded in understanding. He felt it was for the best.
After unpacking his luggage, Wil took a seat in the living room.
Silver was arranging his luggage in the room like a butler while the guards were busy installing his personal S-grade capsule in the corner.
He did it at the Ravens Manor back at Yarlford city back when Wil was a child. So, Silver doesn't have a problem doing things like that.
"So, I heard from Silver that you are shifting the company HQ." Giving a mug filled with coffee, Scarlet took her seat and started the topic to have a conversation with Wil.
The latter nodded in response. "Yes, I liked this city."
"I see" Scarlet nodded in understanding. As the conversation was cut off, silence filled the room for a while until she attempted to have a proper two-way conversation once again. "So, you play War Online regularly?"
This ti, Wil gave a long reply, "Yes. I used to play like 12-16 hours a day since I have nothing else to do. But, now that I need to take care of a lot of companies, I guess I'll have to play moderately from now onwards."
"What about work? Are you going to work from ho? Or"
Wil interrupted with a nod, "Yes, from my room. As I promised, I will be at ho for the next 30 days but I hope you and your family mbers will give privacy when I'm at work or lying in the capsule."
Scarlet inwardly sighed and agreed with the terms. What could she do anything about it
At around 10 o'clock, after Silver left, Wil walked into his room telling his mom that he has so urgent business within the ga.
"I thought it was just the kids. Even Silver plays this ga?" Scarlet beca curious about the ga upon hearing that this ga is loved by even adults like Silver.
Opening her laptop, she went to Sumrsoft official website and ordered an empty data chip that costs 2000 Yuan/10000 credits.
*Welco to War Online*
Wil found himself in the sa street that he previously logged out but the street doesn't look the sa as before.
Several houses appeared to be ruined. And the strangest thing is that there isn't a single person around him and the area is completely filled with silence.
It appeared as if the whole neighborhood was deserted.
anwhile, several quest notifications rang in his ears.
*Ding! You receive a quest, Missing Dragon King.
*Ding! You receive a quest, et the City Lord.
*Ding! You receive a quest, Join a faction.
"What the hell is going on?" Wil frowned as he opened the quests. The quest nas made him think that these quests might be related to the destruction around him.

Wil was taken aback in surprise to see how the situation in the Dragon Island changed within just 24 hours.
"Is it because of him?" He wondered at first but then, he crossed the thought from his mind as he didn't do anything to start such war.
He assud it has been this way from the start and is nothing but a coincidence.
Wil accepted the first two quests, first. He left out the third quest for temporary as he wanted to learn about this war. And that information can be acquired from the city lord.
As soon as he accepted the quest, he received the letter in his inventory.
Gripping the letter, Wil continued to walk, following the city map.
After crossing three to four neighborhoods, Wil saw an influx amount of people crowding the streets, especially at the stores while soldiers were busy managing the situation.
Ignoring them, Wil continued to proceed.
After walking for more than 30 minutes, Wil reached the Mansion gate.
"Stop right there. Who are" As one of the gatekeepers about to stop him, Wil handed the letter, "I have an appointnt with Wendell."
Looking at the genuine seal on it, the gatekeeper bowed and allowed inside.
As Wil passed through the gate, the keepers whispered to each other. "That young man's wings are strange. Is he from the Eucliffe clan?" "Shh! He can listen. That young man gives the aura of the sa level as the city lord and even addresses him by the na. Maybe, he belongs to the main branch of the Eucliffe clan and was sent here to participate in the war."
anwhile, in the entrance hall of the Mansion, the City Lord was in a eting with higher-level officials of the city.
He appeared to be distressed about the situation.
"Damn that bi**h. We have been neutral for several decades now. Just because she's a princess doesn't an she can send an army and attack our city all because we refused to join her faction." The City Lord was angry but at the sa ti, he was also helpless against them.
"Lord Wendell, how should we reply?" An official spoke in worry as he glanced at the letter in the hands of the city lord. "If we either refuse or not give any reply by tonight, this ti, Princess Kyla will destroy our city for good."
"I know that." Wendell shouted in frustration, "so far, there's no reply from the Dragon Lord Juan. It's safe to assu that he's given upon us. There's only one choice left."
Looking at the officials, the city lord said, "We should start evacuating the people."
Everyone looked at each other's faces.
Just then, a soldier entered the hall and spoke, "Milord, a person nad Ti Traveler wishes to et you. He's waiting outside."
