When he heard Fearless’s words, Wang Yu hurriedly stopped.
That’s true. Storm City was huge and there were many guild headquarters. If Li Xiao Bing didn’t say it, only heaven would know where Mu Zi Xian was.
According to Mu Zi Xian, the guild was called Sunset Guild. The moment he received that news, Wang Yu immediately contacted Defiant Tiger. Defiant Tiger expressed that he had never heard of this guild before. From the looks of it, Sunset Guild was a small guild that even an experienced player in Storm City had never heard of.
After all, even a huge guild like Feng Yun Guild could remain inconspicuous, what more a small guild like Sunset Guild?
Moreover, Li Xiao Bing was a noob at Level 10. Levels definitely didn’t mean much to Li Xiao Bing, and thus, slaughtering him was letting him get away easily.
Seeing Wang Yu stop, Li Xiao Bing straightened up and said contentedly, “That’s right, your wife is in my hands. If you kill me, then you can forget about knowing where she is. So, shall we start our discussions?”
“I will discuss with your mother’s c*nt!”
Seeing Li Xiao Bing use Mu Zi Xian to coerce him again, Wang Yu’s temper exploded. He turned and said to Fearless, “Treat him, don’t allow him to die!”
As he was speaking, Wang Yu’s left hand grabbed Li Xiao Bing’s wrist and his right hand held onto Li Xiao Bing’s elbow. With a cracking sound, Li Xiao Bing’s arm was deformed.
Although Fearless wasn’t an expert, he could tell that Li Xiao Bing’s bones were snapped off…
Disjointment was a skill. If Wang Yu wanted, he could set the bones back in place. However, with Wang Yu’s current state of anger, he did not have such intentions.

The game couldn’t accurately judge the damage from joint damages. Moreover, Wang Yu didn’t use the true disjointment method. Thus, Li Xiao Bing didn’t die.
Although there weren’t any pain receptors in the game, having one’s bones cracked was a very stressful thing. Even bystanders could feel the pain when they heard the sound. As the very subject of the act, Li Xiao Bing’s face instantly turned pale-white and he felt a deep sense of doom.
How could Fearless allow him to die so easily? With a wave of his staff, he casually threw two healing spells, pulling Li Xiao Bing’s HP back up. At the same time, Wang Yu grabbed Li Xiao Bing’s left leg and forceful pull, it was pulled up to Li Xiao Bing’s right shoulder.
The sounds of bones cracking left Fearless’s hair standing. This fella was really left in a state where he could neither beg for life or death. Fortunately, this was a game.
Wang Yu grabbed Li Xiao Bing’s hand and threatened, “Are you going to speak? If not, I will break every single finger one at a time!”
Wang Yu underestimated Li Xiao Bing’s ability to withstand the stress. After all, no matter what you did in the game, there wouldn’t be any pain. People wouldn’t even be afraid of death and Mu Zi Xian was a key factor in his plans. Thus, how could Li Xiao Bing succumb so easily?
Li Xiao Bing said provokingly, “If you think that I would succumb like this, then continue torturing me!”
“Hmm!” Seeing Li Xiao Bing’s expression, Wang Yu knew that this kid was not afraid of him. With a cold harrumph, he turned Li Xiao Bing into white light.
Fearless jolted, “You weren’t able to get the info. Why did you kill him?”
“Did you think he would tell us?” Wang Yu shot back with another question.
Fearless stroked his head, “We could promise him or lie to him…”
From the very start, Fearless wanted to use some delaying techniques. Who knew that Wang Yu’s temper would explode and he would resort to violence so quickly? Well, Wang Yu couldn’t be blamed. If this situation were to befall him, he might not be able to remain so calm.
“I am disgusted by him! I will not negotiate with him!”
“Then do you have any other method?’
“Yes!”
As he was speaking, Wang Yu pulled open the friend’s menu and asked Mu Zi Xian, “Do you know that you have been kidnapped?”
“Kidnapped?” Mu Zi Xian startled and she immediately started to surveil her surroundings. She soon noticed that there were people all around her and they were all secretly looking at her. Previously, she thought that it was because these people had never seen a beauty before…
“That seems to be true. What’s the point of kidnapping me though?” Mu Zi Xian asked in puzzlement.
“If you’re kidnapped, then our shop is gone,” Wang Yu said.
In Rebirth, shopowner had to pay rent. If the shopowner wasn’t online for a period of time and the shop’s income enters red, the system would take the shop back.
Following which, Wang Yu asked, “Are you able to kill yourself to come back?” The calm Wang Yu could think quite well.
Mu Zi Xian soon replied, “Safe zone, can’t kill myself.”
“Then do you know where you are?” Wang Yu asked.
“Let me observe my surroundings. I will tell you later.”
Mu Zi Xian had worked in the game’s customer support before. In terms of the game’s map information, Mu Zi Xian was more knowledgeable than anyone else. Thus, she didn’t need to ask around for information. From the terrain, she could accurately guess her location.
Moreover, the monster distribution among Rebirth’s cities did not repeat. Even ordinary players could roughly guess their location from the monsters they see at the headquarter’s gate.
After closing the conversation with Wang Yu, Mu Zi Xian stood up and headed towards the headquarter’s gate. This small guild’s player hurriedly stopped her, “The guild is being reconstructed. Viewing is prohibited.”
“…” When Mu Zi Xian heard this, she reverified that she was truly kidnapped. After which, she started to size up her surroundings.
Not long later, Wang Yu received Mu Zi Xian’s reply, “The terrain is Squall Ridge. Squall Ridge has a total of three guild headquarter sites. The lowest headquarter site is the Level 20-30 area.”
“Go, to Storm City!”
After receiving Mu Zi Xian’s news, Wang Yu turned and prepared to leave.
Fearless, “We only have a little more than 10 people. If we try to save her, I’m afraid we will suffer terribly.”
“We can ask the Sanguine Alliance for help.”
“Our opponent is a gaming studio. The Sanguine Alliance had already helped us greatly by participating in the guild battle. If we were to ask them to help us attack another guild, I’m afraid we would be placing Sanguine Warflag in a difficult position,” Fearless said calmly.
Sanguine Alliance was a merchant-type guild. Before doing anything, they had to consider the costs and benefits. If they were to offend a gaming studio, the boss of Sanguine Alliance definitely wouldn’t be happy.
“This…” Wang Yu didn’t know what to say.
“Moreover, if we attack Sunset Guild’s headquarters, do you think we would be causing much damage to Daybreak Studios? Would they be afraid?”
Daybreak Studios was a large-scale gaming studio. They definitely had many of such small guild headquarters. Attacking one of them wouldn’t even cause them to flinch.
“What do you think those people are afraid of the most?” Wang Yu’s head ached.
Li Xiao Bing wasn’t even afraid of his bones being snapped. Wang Yu was truly wondering what would make him afraid.
Fearless laughed, “Li Xiao Bing is a businessman. He’s afraid of a market with money. For this, we have to find professional help.”
“Professional?” Before Wang Yu could fully respond to Fearless’s words, his message bar suddenly flashed.
