Chapter 1730: Why, Oh Why?!

If Heart of War spoke to Square Root 3, his words would’ve been taken more seriously.
Gangnam Royals had recently managed to stabilize themselves. They kept on fighting in Instance Dungeons, occupied one stronghold, and came second in the Donghua Cup. Ruling Sword looked to be flourishing, but under Lu Li’s crazy ‘warmongering’ expansion, they were always in a precarious situation. So even if there were a little careless, their guild could fall apart.
If they were going to start a war against such a powerful high-level club like Gangnam Royals, they were simply deluded. You couldn’t use common sense to predict what these crazy guys would do. As long as Lu Li gave permission, Her Tears didn’t care about the consequences at all.
“I want to discuss this with Lu Li, even Square Root 3 would be good too.”
He kept saying the same thing about Chase You Hehe being his brother. He wasn’t just going on about this to show concern and drop the act later. He really wanted to speak with someone who was a bit more reasonable.
“3 bro’s as tired as a dog these days. He probably doesn’t have time for you,” Her Tears said, “I’ve asked Lu Li for you.”
At this time, Lu Li was bringing people to go farm Headless Paladin Steeds. Since these Headless Paladin Steeds had some amazing reins, people lined up to farm them. Even if they couldn’t do the killing themselves, they could hire someone to do it for them. If they got lucky, then they would’ve accomplished one of the top achievements in Dawn.
At this time, the Paladins who were able to ride with the reins of these Headless Paladin Steeds only numbered 100— all of them were rich and powerful players in clubs.
Apart from Lu Li, pretty much all these people had been beaten heaps of times but had lots of money. Their life didn’t matter as much as absolutely needing to get something to maintain face.
Shame that the official channels had again reduced the chances of Headless Paladin Steed drops. Regardless of whether it was Ruling Sword or Judgement Spear, the 100 plus teams that had come today hadn’t even been able to farm a single Steed. Remnant Dream, the lucky girl, wasn’t so lucky this time.
Good thing that the Boss dropped some equipment and material. The level of the Headless Paladin Steeds had been increased, and there was a massive change in the equipment they dropped too.
If ordinary players wanted to get Dark Gold or even Epic equipment, farming Headless Paladin Steeds was a pretty good shortcut.
“Boss, Heart of War’s looking for you,” Her Tears called out.
“I’m busy,” Lu Li replied.
“He wants to ask you when we can let his brother go. Or in other words, how many times to we have to kill his brother till we stop?” Her Tears was just acting obediently so that Heart of War would rest his hopes on Lu Li.
“No need to stop,” Lu Li replied coldly from the other side.
“What a real shame,” Her Tears smiled, “My boss says we don’t have to stop. Which means we can’t talk about this anymore. Entrust your brother to us, I promise he’ll be really happy. Apart from us, no one will hurt him.”
“Pfft.” Heart of War was ready to spit fire.
Anger raged in his head. He really wanted to declare war. But he didn’t dare to. He was scared.
There’s no one who’s truly an idiot in this world. Everyone, whether they’re good or bad, would have different ways of behaving because of their personality, their upbringing and interests. However, everyone has the same feelings shared by all humans, and one of them was fear. Heart of war couldn’t help but to think back to that big war with Ruling Sword.
At that time, Ruling Sword pretty much didn’t have any foundation. They were just a rabble of players, and Gangnam Royals was even more powerful then compared to how they were now.
When everyone – even other clubs – was sitting back and watching this new rising club Ruling Sword get smashed to the ground with no hope of rising, it turned out that Gangman Royals actually lost. They became a stepping stone for Ruling Sword’s path to fame.
Countless PK fanatics flooded into Ruling Sword, and countless people who had been mistreated by Gangnam Royals publicized this all for free. That is, it was only from that point on that Ruling Sword was able to stand on its own two feet. Gangman Royals had become a joke. Their number two ranking once frightened countless people, but from that time on, everyone considered them a paper tiger. Even a few small guilds dared to start fights with them.
Back in the day, the Gangnam Royals could have two people train on a map and that would clear everyone out. However, now they didn’t dare to have anything less than a small group of them walking out in the wild. If another war broke out, it’d be great if they won. All the glory would come back to them.
But what if they lost? What if they lost again?
“Silly kid, don’t play this game anymore.” Heart of War sighed. In the end, this was all that Heart of War could say to his little brother.
“I just don’t believe it, the game’s so big, but they just were able to find me,” Chase You Hehe wondered.
“The game’s so big, but how big can a game be,”
“The game’s so big, but how big can a game be. You think this is really funny, hey? You just play these evil games all day, you think it’s all good, right? You’re already 20 something, can’t you be a bit more mature? Do some honest work.” Chase You Hehe spat.
Heart of War’s anger suddenly flamed up. With a wave, he swept off most of the items on the table, then roared hysterically, “Do you know how angry your brother is now? I’m dying to crush Ruling Sword, but I can’t. I can’t, you know? I can’t make this gamble, I lost this gamble last time. Your carefree life now is screwing me over. If I fail, what are you going to squander away then? How are you going to survive? Then you’re going to lie to other people, steal away their money, their lives, you should’ve been in jail ages ago.”
Chase You Hehe kept his head down, not saying a word. After a moment, he walked out resolutely.
Heart of War dropped back in a chair.
Yes, the game was extremely big.
“See, it’s that person. In the future, you’re responsible for pursuing him. If you manage to get him, we’ll give you $1000. Even if you fail, I’ll still give you guys $5000 every month. How about that?” Her Tears squatted in front of the little dwarf, handing over a bag of gold as a deposit.
“We’ll have mercenaries to do this, don’t you worry, we’ll go with your price. I’ll arrange for 3000 people who’ll do nothing but look all over the world for him.” The little dwarf laughed, “If you can’t pay us on any given day, just let me know. I suppose you’ll probably be breaking your bank.”
“Bro, don’t worry about it. I’d be happy to break my bank,” Her Tears said without a care.
Her Tears had spending money every month that Chase You Hehe had. However, the spending money that Chase You Hehe had was given by others, but his own spending money he earnt himself.
“Hehe bro’s been killed…”
“Hehe bro’s been killed again…”
“Hehe bro…”
Heart of War looked at the thing in his hands numbly. He was not interested in listening to the jabbering going on under him, but he didn’t stop having people watching the situation.
Why, oh why did Lu Li have to trouble a little sock puppet.
