578: Chapter 578: No Difference Between One Hundred and One
Everyone present, including Sima Xiao’er, thought Xu Huo was calling for help, but this place was far from any town, and it would take at least an hour or two by car for anyone to arrive, which was utterly pointless—that was also why Bao Jiali didn’t try to stop him.
However, the na Tan Yang was familiar to all, he was the president of the officially recognized First Player Association.
Initially, he had considered himself the vice president, but upon official endorsent, he beca the president.
Tan Yang soon answered the call, politely saying, “Mr.
Xu, you have safely returned to Zone 014.
You must have had a fruitful trip this ti.”
“There are two people I want you to recognize, Bao Jiali and Wang ng, are they players from the First Association?” Xu Huo said.
There was a brief handover on the other end of the line, and after a mont Tan Yang said, “Indeed, these two are part of our association, have they caused you trouble?”
Xu Huo placed his phone on the table and pressed the speaker button, “Doesn’t this president have any control over the players in the association?”
Tan Yang paused before replying, “At the mont, the core players in the association are all busy leveling up in the ga.”
Xu Huo laughed, “Is that what you told
two months ago when you ca to ?
You talked about players joining forces to weather the storm together, but I haven’t seen any of that, only a bunch who commit all kinds of misdeeds.”
“It’s not a big deal if so people get carried away when they gain a bit of strength, but aren’t you afraid that bullying within your ranks will bring so major trouble soday, and soone will wipe you all out in one fell swoop?”
Tan Yang fell silent on the other end, but Xu Huo heard from the subtle sounds that there were more people breathing.
“Do you think it’s impossible for sothing like this to happen with several hundred players in the First Association?” He tapped lightly on the table with his finger, then removed the dead leaf that had been stuck to Sima Xiao’er’s back.
Looking at a player standing a few ters away, he said, “If you had set out to kill when you ca in earlier, the situation wouldn’t be like this now.”
“Where does the First Association base itself?” Xu Huo asked Sima Xiao’er, who had regained his freedom.
Sima Xiao’er moved his body, angrily saying, “Yang City Center Building, the place was specially approved for their office use.”
“How many players are usually in the building?”
“Usually, there are about a hundred, as the players don’t all enter the ga at the sa ti.”
“Just a hundred people,” Xu Huo remarked to the phone, “A hundred Level E players and one Level E player are no different.”
“That’s a bold statent!” Bao Jiali sneered coldly.
Xu Huo pulled out a lighter to light a cigarette, ignoring the person opposite him.
After blowing out a puff of smoke, he said, “Want to give it a try?”
Bao Jiali stood up with a slap on the table, “Chairman, don’t worry about it, leave this kid to …”
“Shut up!” Tan Yang shouted, then said again, “Mr.
Xu, please grant
this favor.”
Xu Huo didn’t say a word.
After a mont of angry silence from the First Association players present and on the phone, Huang Junjie spoke up, “Brother Xu, today’s incident was the association’s fault.
I will have Bao Jiali and Wang ng apologize to you.
When you have ti to co to Yang City, Chairman Tan and I will treat you to a drink.”
“Bao Jiali, Wang ng,” he turned to the players present, “no matter how many people go, apologize properly to Mr.
Xu, don’t cause any trouble for the association.
Joining is easy, getting expelled is not hard either.”
Bao Jiali’s face turned red with anger and his eyes were filled with resentnt; clearly, he did not want to comply with these arrangents.
Before he could speak up, Xu Huo stood up first and said, “Let’s leave it there.”
He hung up the call and left with Sima Xiao’er.
Wang ng and others grudgingly made way.
Sima Xiao’er’s dilapidated car was not there, so the two planned to take the sports car instead.
However, when they passed Bao Jiali’s car, Xu Huo glanced inside: a half-dressed woman was lying in the back seat, her feet shackled with chains, her arms drooping with several needle holes in them, and she was muttering sothing unclearly, but her mouth made no sound.
Sima Xiao’er started the car, while Bao Jiali’s group erged from the service area.
Seeing Xu Huo standing by their car looking imposing, they ca forward aggressively, only to suddenly see a flash of sword light pass by, followed by Bao Jiali’s head flying into the air.
Before the others could react, the person who should have been standing by the car suddenly appeared in front of them.
With a flick of a fine thread, several players were caught in a loop, and the two standing at the edge had their throats sliced instantly!
The remaining people ca to their senses, imdiately using their props and abilities against Xu Huo, but it was too late as Xu Huo had already used “Power of Writing” and “Compulsory Forgetting,” leaving the remainder of the players dead in a matter of seconds, with only one surviving.
That one was the quickest to react, using a prop to shield his neck while throwing a sticker toy at Xu Huo, however, it was of no use because the prop “Universal Lubricant” could negate the effects of Rank-C and below props that required contact to work, so the toy had no effect.
Naturally, the man died.
The only survivor, Wang ng, fell to his knees, begging for rcy repeatedly, “Don’t kill !
I won’t dare again!
I won’t dare again!”
Xu Huo flicked off the blood drop from “Harmless Whip,” “Relax, I won’t kill you.
Go back and explain yourself to the First Association properly.
If you seek death, you can’t bla others.
Take the person in the car to the hospital, for everything else…”
“I will definitely take her to the hospital, and I will cover the dical insurance and compensation for emotional distress.
Once this is settled, I’ll turn myself in…
But this has nothing to do with , I never laid a finger on that girl, it was all Bao Jiali’s doing.
She’s a rich girl, and Bao Jiali had tornted her deliberately because he failed to court her in the past…”
“No need to say more,” Xu Huo cut him off.
On the other side, Sima Xiao’er checked on the girl’s condition, closed the car, and kicked Bao Jiali’s corpse several tis in anger, “I just can’t understand how such people can survive in instances!”
“Brother Xu, let’s take her to the hospital ourselves.
I don’t trust this Wang ng guy, what if he brings a bunch of people for revenge?
We shouldn’t put the girl in danger,” said Sima Xiao’er.
“I absolutely won’t!” Wang ng swore to heaven, “If I dare make trouble again, may I be struck by a car as soon as I leave the house!
I an it, Brother Xiao’er, please believe !”
Unable to contain his anger, Sima Xiao’er kicked him over, “I used to think you were just a loudmouth, but I didn’t expect you to dare to mix with such scum!”
In tears, Wang ng didn’t dare to provoke Xu Huo again and could only cling to Sima Xiao’er’s legs begging, “Brother Xiao’er, give
a chance, I don’t want to die…”
“Maybe…
we should let him drive and follow us?” hesitated Sima Xiao’er, “After all, we’re heading to Yang City too.”
“That’s fine,” Xu Huo didn’t object.
After Sima Xiao’er inford the nearby precinct to deal with the aftermath, they set off again, Wang ng driving ahead.
Although he was on his own, he didn’t dare make a call to the First Association and obediently led the way to Yang City.
Only after Xu Huo nodded did he take the girl to the hospital.
“Truly inhuman,” mused Sima Xiao’er after driving through the city for a long ti.
