Chapter 674 - Mr. X's low profile
Chapter 674: Mr. X’s low profile
“F*ck!”
“Why are you all squeezing in?!”
The behavior of the September Guild players naturally infuriated the Nightless City Club players.
Immediately the scene became a riot, where guns were loaded and energy converter lights were fluctuating.
“Don’t mess around! Everyone! Don’t be so impulsive!”
Everyone’s behavior made Brother Ling so mad that the edges of his mouth were fuming.
As a senior representative of the Lu Conglomerate, he obviously did not want the two sides to really fight over this situation, especially when his personal relationship with the Nightless City people was still well.
Fortunately, Mr. X turned around and hushed a few of the loudest players in order to ease the situation a little.
However, the diffusing of the situation was only temporary. As for how this matter would develop, it would depend on the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides!
Particularly, it would be based on the attitude that the key person, Feng Luo, had.
At the center of the war circle, Mu Wu had turned on the communication device and chose to project the communication interface into the air. The projection revealed the image of Feng Luo in SUV combat attire.
However, at this moment, Feng Luo’s position was not on top of the cliff.
Instead, the Wings of Death, which would look more conspicuous in his hands, was hidden in a place within the forest. It was in an area that they would be unable to find.
Since the projection only showed a limited amount of his background, the September Guild players were unable to find his exact position.
However, whether it was Mr. X or Mu Wu, they both knew that the position Feng Luo was at was definitely a position that would enable him to attack this area.
“Mr. Feng, I haven’t seen you in a long time!” Mr. X had a wry smile on his face as he greeted Feng Luo.
“Mr. X!” Feng Luo nodded as his expression did not change.
“Regarding this matter… Can I talk to you privately?” Mr. X hesitated a little when he spoke out loud. He then hinted at the surrounding curious players who were waiting to watch a battle occur.
“No, let’s just talk about it here!” Feng Luo had a look of disdain as he immediately shook his head.
“Mr. Feng, you are putting me in a difficult position.” Mr. X’s face changed slightly as he stared at Feng Luo’s eyes on the screen.
Feng Luo simply did not speak. He stared back with dull eyes.
“Well, alright.”
The two men stared at each other for less than a second as Mr. X finally compromised with a bitter smile.
“Well, then I’ll just say it out loud. Can we end this here and now? I would like to offer you sufficient compensation on behalf of the September Guild for each of the six people who died from the Nightless City Club, and I will also make all of the people who participated in the attack to apologize to you guys. Everyone is living in the same city, why would we need to fight to this extreme?”
As a senior executive of the September Guild, and also as one of the founders of the former Nine Star Guild, Mr. X’s attitude was surprisingly low-key. It was completely different from those seemingly high and mighty September Guild average players behind him.
Amongst those who were present, perhaps only Feng Luo could understand the reason behind Mr. X’s low profile.
There were only a few people who really knew the inside story behind Invikill being the first person who awakened the Force.
Although both sides signed a contract to request Feng Luo not to reveal the matter regarding Invikill, and despite the contract being signed in the game, there was also a legal effect in reality.
However, if Feng Luo was really determined to reveal this matter, then naturally he would do so.
Mr. X did not want this to happen because once it was revealed, the matter regarding Invikill would have a significant impact on the September Guild’s reputation.
Additionally, there was another reason for Mr. X’s low profile, but it was due to a personal matter. During their last conversation, Mr. X had promised he would warn September Night Rain not to make an enemy out of Feng Luo.
However, what happened today really cost him his reputation in keeping promises.
However, because the premise of the last promise was that Feng Luo would join the September Guild, and since Feng Luo did not agree to join the guild, Mr. X technically did not go back on his promise.
“No!”
“No!”
However, this low-profile proposal by Mr. X was still declined.
Of the two responses, one was from the projection of Feng Luo, and the other was from the sunken face of Mu Wu.
Both of their answers were said without hesitation.
“F*ck, what do you guys mean? Who do you think you are? Not wanting to give respect…”
It was not Mr. X who was talking.
Instead, on a tall SUV at the edge of the war circle, with a six-barrel machine gun in hand, there was a September Guild Machine Gunner with an elite badge on his chest.
Mr. X was calm, but the September Guild player looked shameless.
To see Mr. X repeatedly lower his own stance, the September Guild players had already expressed dissatisfaction. However, because Mr. X was in charge, barely anyone interrupted.
It was not until both Feng Luo and Mu Wu unhesitatingly rejected his suggestion that someone could not bear to stay silent anymore. However, just when the Machine Gunner was continuing to talk, he was silenced.
“Shut up!”
Mr. X had a cold and angry face, and his expression stunned the Machine Gunner player for a moment.
However, soon after, the Machine Gunner’s face also changed completely.
After all, it was only a game, and although he was a part of the September Guild, he was not really Mr. X’s “subordinate.”
However, even though his face changed, the Machine Gunner really stopped talking.
Playing as a Machine Gunner was expensive, and all his equipment and ammunition relied upon the September Guild’s sponsorship.
If he were to disregard everything and go against Mr. X, then the final consequence would be for him to be kicked out of the September Guild.
However, he obviously did not want to lose the status as an elite September Guild player, plus the superior status as the guild Machine Gunner!
Therefore, after this elite player stopped talking, another voice spoke out.
“Why do you want him to stop talking? I thought that Ahai was right about this!”
A jeep-like heavy-duty convertible energy vehicle, which had just arrived, had a tall and mighty Heavy Armor Warrior with a golden guild badge on his chest.
“If we settle the matters this way, we will become laughing stocks. If we really settled it in this manner, then it would let people feel that September Guild could be easily bullied.”
Removing a super heavy black shield from the jeep, the Heavy Armor Warrior, with a shameless and disdained expression, stared at Feng Luo’s image on the communication device.
“Paco!”
“Hello, Paco!”
“Paco, you’re here too.”
“Paco, you’re finally here!”
There was a commotion among the average players of the September Guild as many immediately greeted this player with excitement.
“Paco? Judging by the badge, he must be a core player of the September Guild.”
“This guy is not bad, although he is a little arrogant. He seems to be more like the high ranks of the September Guild compared to that middle-aged man. That middle-aged man is too soft! September Guild is one of the top ten guilds. So Mr. X should not be so courteous.”
“Can it be that these two people are purposely going against each other?”
There was a burst of discussion among the players watching the scene.
They were a little confused about the attitude Mr. X displayed before.
With a large guild like the September Guild, they usually handled things with great pride. Even if they were not tyrants, they should still maintain their dignity. So, why do they look like complete pushovers on this matter?
In particular, Mr. X, during his conversation with the Sniper on the communication device, revealed a fearful stance, and had even wanted to apologize to the Sniper in the projection.
However, this attitude from this high-ranking September Guild member was not what they wanted to see.
If they did not fight, then what was there to see? What were they all waiting around for then?
Fortunately, now there was the sudden appearance of Paco. His appearance was something that they all wanted to see.
“Paco?! It’s actually ‘The Paco!'”
“Paco is one of the top ten players from the first batch of Stormwind City! He was nicknamed ‘Overlord.’ It was only later that he changed his style and joined the September Guild in a management role. However, his potential did not disappear at all, and he is not inferior to any top players!”
Some of the others were able to recognize him as “Overlord” almost immediately.
Things had become more interesting.
