Chapter 688: Chapter 443: Raid

“At last, you’re here!”

At a street food stall, Doghead Gold swallowed his noodles and excitedly said, looking up.

“Did you also receive a message from Jack?”

“Yeah, he said to gather at the ‘Yobani Hotel.'”

Standing aside, Dongyang tasted his spicy sauce-coated fried balls and nodded.

Horseman fulfilled his promise to treat everyone and paid the stall owner two Silver Ducats, thinking to himself that it was a real bargain. With a puzzled face, he turned and asked:

“Yobani Hotel? Do you know where it is?”

The gamers sitting around the simple wooden table shook their heads, but only Polaris answered the question:

“It’s not far from here, about a twenty-minute walk.”

“Wow! How do you know that so clearly, Big Bro North?”

Dragon King wiped the tomato sauce from the corner of his mouth, looking up in admiration.

Polaris just rolled his eyes.

“Don’t you guys check out the local situation before arriving? This place has only a few famous hotels, it’s not at all hard to remember.”

“That hurts! Big Bro North just called us brainless!”

Dragon King cried theatrically.

“He said you’re brainless, what does that have to do with us?”

Nobody wanted to deal with him. Kuchan Nana and Tutu pushed him away, pretending not to recognize him.

“Hurry up and eat. Let’s not waste time and head there as soon as possible.”

Dongyang urged everyone.

He quickly finished the snacks from his paper box, crumpled up the trash, and threw it. Relying on the physical abilities of a Sequence Eight Transcendent, the trash flew in a parabola and accurately landed in a trash can several meters away.

“Beautiful!”

Kuang Benkuang complimented.

“Vice President, if you had this skill in real life, you could reach the pinnacle of your life playing ball in the World Alliance…”

“Stop buttering me up, let’s get going.”

Dongyang, unmoved, urged with his arms crossed.

Soon, after finishing their food, they spontaneously hailed several horse-drawn carriages by the roadside and headed straight for the Yobani Hotel.

A moment later.

As they entered the hotel full of anticipation, they couldn’t help but look puzzled.

The lobby was quite spacious and quiet, almost devoid of diners.

Tables and chairs were haphazardly overturned here and there, various plates and glasses shattered on the ground, and food scattered all over the floor. Several burly men wrapped in turbans tightly surrounded the only two tables of customers in the corner, creating a tense scene.

“Who are you people?!”

Suddenly a sharp reprimand came, startling Polaris and others.

They turned their heads and saw a man in red shortsleeve shirt with a gold watch on his wrist striding over, followed by several Transcendent henchmen.

With a stern look and bulging veins on his forehead, the man spat out,

“Warning you, don’t make any rash moves!”

He signaled his henchmen to secure Polaris and others, then walked straight to the corner. Dongyang and the rest took advantage of the gap to see that the guests at those two tables were none other than Mr. Jack and the Circus executives.

“What’s going on?”

Doghead Gold quietly asked in surprise.

“Don’t know, let’s watch and see.”

Polaris shook his head.

The man in red shirt approached Chen Lun’s table, pulled out an empty chair, and sat down. He immediately cast his eyes on the gentleman in black at the head of the table and demanded coldly:

“Sir, you’ve been causing trouble in our hotel more than once. What exactly do you mean by that? Do you think the ‘Bloodhand Gang’ is easy to bully?”

Golov was about to speak, but Floey raised her hand to stop him.

Ignoring the man in the red shirt, the group continued to dine, treating him as if he were invisible.

Chen Lun first bit off the grilled meat on his fork, then slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin, calmly replied:

“You seem to have mistaken us for someone else, we are just ordinary diners here.”

“Ordinary diners? Are you joking with me?!”

The man in red shirt banged the table and stood up.

“My men have told me everything. Those ruffian strangers who came to make trouble, they all know you! They even call you ‘Leader’! You’re all together!”

Chen Lun stared emotionlessly at the man in front of him, yet felt somewhat speechless inside.

The events that had just occurred had taken him by surprise.

A group of unaffiliated players had inexplicably started vandalizing the hotel and clashed violently with the security personnel. Without a doubt, the troublemaking players were all killed, turning into white light and disappearing, but before dying, they didn’t care and even shouted “Leader” at him, acting overly familiar.

Chen Lun had guessed a bit, that the players had probably taken on a task, and the Yobani Hotel was their target while his presence was just coincidental. Given his reputation among gamers, they treated it as pure fun, but this led the hotel’s Bloodhand Gang to mistakenly think he was the leader of the players.

“I am not with them.”

Chen Lun shook his head, not wanting to explain further.

The man in red shirt narrowed his eyes, sizing up Chen Lun silently for several seconds. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a noisy commotion came from outside.

Turning their heads, those who had previously been the player ruffians had resurrected and returned. About a dozen of them swarmed into the hotel, laughing, shouting, and prepared to shoot with their Flintlock Guns in hand.

“Woohoo! Here we come again!”

“Wasting one of my Resurrection chances, you will all pay with your lives!”

They raised their Flintlock Guns and pulled the triggers at the man in red shirt and the security personnel, with the bangs of gunshots filling the air.
