    After Dusky Cloud gave the word, there was really a shockwave that rocked the Ten Guild Alliance. It was exactly as thatrade had warned, there were quite a few yers in the Ten Guild Alliance that were working as temps for Remarkable ir. This work was not of the nature that Southern Lone de and the other professional yers were doing, where their livelihood depended on the ie they earned with them. When these gamers work as temps for a workshop, most of them were still doing so for the game’s sake.


    Given how workshops were constantly growing in size and scope nowadays, doing some temporary job on the side for workshops so as to earn a bit of in-game currency was already considered as one of the verymon methods a yer could engage in to farm currency. There were even a good number of yers who made sure to first get in touch with workshops once they got into a game and registered as a temp. There was nock of yers in the Ten Guild Alliance that were in this simr situation, and there were some who had coborated with Remarkable ir for a very long time, making quite a few friends and acquaintances in the workshops. Now that there was suddenly an order to break all ties with Remarkable ir workshop that appeared out of nowhere, everyone reacted like it was a bolt of lightning during a clear day, leaving quite a good number of members conflicted over what to do.


    When the number of these conflicted individuals increased, they became a group of men who were in a twist that all felt that the guild was overdoing a bit too much. They had never heard of the Ten Guild Alliance falling foul with a workshop, so why should they cut ties so abruptly? There was a good chance that it was because their guild leader had some sort of personal grudge with the workshop, but what he now did would disrupt everyone’s path to riches. So of course they were all discontented. As such, each of them protested against the decision, crying for due democratic process, wanting to work for the workshop.


    The answer they got was that one line from Dusky Cloud, “Those who refuse toply can scram!”


    These yers were stunned. Actually, ever since most of these people had joined the guild, what they had seen was mostly how Dusky Cloud would diligently deal with all the matters regarding the guilds, both big and small. He had always sought to satisfy each and every guild member, so even though he would be cursing and swearing as he went about it, it was simply his habit to do so. In everyone’s hearts and mind, every single ‘m*th*rf*ck*r’ and ‘son of a b*tch” he barked out was not an insult, but a very intimate way of addressing them. However, Dusky Cloud was not in the least bit sensitive to these men, very coldly telling these men to ‘scram’, and that left many of them puzzled.


    Only the old guild members in the Ten Guild Alliance knew that this was how Dusky Cloud originally acted, but ever since the Ten Guild Alliance became increasingly bigger, and the rtionship between members became even moreplex, the man became more and more sleek with how he dealt with matters, and today’s incident must have so utterly provoked him to the point that he revealed his true form.


    But these men found this face of Dusky Cloud to be more familiar. The smooth Dusky Cloud only made them feel more and more distant, and these oldrades all celebrated the return of Dusky Cloud’s original temperament, even as they showed their support for Dusky Cloud, “Those who refuse toply can scram!”


    The system prompt rang repeatedly. Before anyone could even say a word, those yers who had opinions about how the guild was being run had already been kicked out immediately. Needless to say, there were quite a few new bloods in the Ten Guild Alliance, but the guild leaders of the ten guilds in question still had their core members and they were most definitely Dusky Cloud’srades. Seeing Dusky Cloud in such an irascible state, these guild leaders immediately stood on Dusky Cloud’s side without another word and immediately kicked anyone who raised an opposing opinion from the guild, not even giving them the chance to exin themselves.


    Getting kicked from a guild meant that all their guilds points would be reduced to zero, and that was inherently simr to severing an avenue of wealth with the workshop. Seeing that they cannot have their cakes and eat them, these conflicted people had no choice but to continue internally wrestle with the decision. But Dusky Cloud’s hardcorerades had already begun rallying their men and were about to smash up the ces Remarkable ir owned, so these conflicted individuals had to make a choice. Those who had umted plenty of guild points had no choice but to turn away from the workshop; while quite a number of those who did not have much guild points had chosen to quietly leave the guild. But there were those who really wanted to have it both ways, and how they went about it was vastly different. Some felt that this was a struggle between two organizations and had nothing to do with their own private affairs. The workshop might not mind as well, and they could silently do the work and hope that both sides could just ignore his allegiance; there were also those that were yelling in the chat cheering on while secretly sending messages to the workshop, hoping they could curry favor on both sides and get them to treat him like one of their own....


    The impact of thetter was much greater. Through the messages they sent, Remarkable ir very quickly acted in response.


    Engage in a PK confrontation with the Ten Guild Alliance? They did not have the strength to do so either. A workshop existed solely for the purpose of turning a profit, and they would be more than happy to provide some services to the yers that the ordinary yer would not be able to do, such as mass producing camouge attire for Deep Water’s guild in Linyin City. Meanwhile, such services mostly did not require any sort ofbat strength to speak of. What they possessed was plenty of yers who were temporarily under their payroll, and there was nock of experts either. However, these yers would ultimately not be the official employees of the guild. They would be paid for the task and work they did on an ad hoc basis, and when faced with work that was highly difficult and required them to put their life on the line, these yers would naturally have the right to reject the offer. Take for example this PK with the Ten Guild Alliance situation; there was nothing that would be even more difficult than this in Yueye City. Even those yers who had just been kicked out from the Ten Guild Alliance, all filled with a bellow of resentment and hatred for them, they would most definitely refuse to take such a terrible assignment that would essentially have them gifting their own levels.


    Remarkable ir had absolutely no intention of facing the Ten Guild Alliance head on. Upon learning that the Ten Guild Alliance would be arriving to smash their properties and interests, they swiftly closed down all their openly owned businesses. The men from the Ten Guild Alliance swept like an angry wave in every direction, discovering that these normally 24-hour businesses were all shuttered. All of them instantly understood that there must be people still working with the workshop in their guild that had leaked the news.


    These guild members had no choice but to inform Dusky Cloud of what happened, immediately drawing the rebuke from Dusky Cloud, “You m*th*rf*ck*rs, any idiot would of course know that there would still be people from Remarkable ir in our guild. Who’s going to be such airheads when you’ve been yelling about the n to the entire guild from the very start?”


    “Tsk, aren’t you just giving us bted advice right now too?!” An oldrade was the one that retorted right now, not sparing any sense of courtesy. Had Dusky Cloud really thought of this point earlier, he would have most definitely mentioned it beforehand.


    As it turned out, what that man said was spot on, and Dusky Cloud was a little embarrassed to continue on his tirade, changing the topic, “Go and find that m*th*rf*ck*r Arrogant Spawn. That rascal’s working for Remarkable ir here, and he’s even the one who was g*dd*mn*d in charge of Yueye City. Go find him and let him find out what it means to take charge!”


    “Oh? Is that true?” Hisrades were delighted when they learned of this as well. This was truly a matter of old hatred reigniting new enmity, and they were exceptionally ted at this prospect. “What about the men from Proud Skies?”


    “Who knows? But they are probably rted as well. Kill any that you meet!” Dusky Cloud casually said. This was the point where Sword Demon and he differed. Sword Demon would most definitely not be so indiscriminate, but Dusky Cloud could not care any less.


    Meanwhile, everyone on their side was currently discussing if they wanted to chase their way up the mountain and kill off the yers from this workshop. This waspletely doable, considering their strength, but because they were ultimately the party that was at a disadvantage when it came to their numbers, even if they seeded in doing so, there would almost certainly be casualties, and Dusky Cloud had lost plenty of hisrades today and was experiencing quite the heartache, especially since they were all his closest and most trusted allies.


    “Can you do it all by yourself?” Young Master Han asked Gu Fei.


    “Are you trying to exhaust me till I’m at my deathbed?” Gu Fei retorted.


    “You’re iming exhaustion after PK-ing a handful of men?” Young Master Han riposted. The surrounding yers all sucked in a quick breath. It was hardly just a handful of men; Gu Fei had most definitely killed off men in the hundreds.


    “I’m fine with PK-ing, but the exhaustion I’m speaking of is about whates after. Don’t you know that I’ve still gotta clear my PK points at the end of the day?” Gu Fei said.


    “What’s your PK Value right now?” Young Master Han asked.


    “176...” Gu Fei took a nce and answered.


    The yers around all exhaled in disbelief. Dusky Cloud and his men each shed a thumbs-up at Gu Fei. This was what machismo meant. This was true manliness.


    “Is there no upper limit to a yer’s PK value?” This discussion kicked off in their party channel.


    “Would the system no longer be able to stand it if it reached a certain number, and it would just send a bolt of lightning from the heavens instead?”


    “Stop with your nonsense.”


    “176 PK points... Just how will you clear it?”


    “Uh, there’s no other way after going up the mountains here, right? Let’s hold this position for now. Let’s wait for your guild’s reinforcement to arrive before we take down these people all at once,” Young Master Han was of course as ruthless as ever, having absolutely no intention of letting the enemy in front of their eyes go.


    Dusky Cloud was equally heartless, nodding his head repeatedly to show his agreement upon hearing such a reliable n.


    Thus, the whole group of them camped out by the mountain path and soon, thepany of men that they had presumed to be passersby slowly got closer, and when both parties looked at each other, they each seemed to feel the other appeared to be more and more familiar.


    “F*ck me!!” Finally, Dusky Cloud and someone from the other party caught each other’s eye at the same time and recognized each other. After yelling that in unison, they immediately pulled out their weapons and began giving the order to their own men to prepare for battle.


    “So it’s you, m*th*rf*ck*r. To think you would dare to show your face here in Yueye City; you must be tired of living,” Dusky Cloud snarled.


    “Oh enough of your b*llsh*t, stop overvaluing yourself. I’m going to go to Yueye City whenever I want. Instead, what are you m*th*rf*cker trying to do, inconspicuously blocking this road?” Someone from the other party castigated.


    Gu Fei and Young Master Han both found this voice from the other party very familiar as well, but they were momentarily unable to recall where they had heard it from.


    In the end, it was actually Sakurazaka Moony who rushed out at this moment, “Everyone, calm down! This is all just a misunderstanding!”


    “What are you yelling about for? Just get behind us,” Dusky Cloud did not recognize Sakurazaka Moony, thinking that this person had no idea about the storied grievances between the two.


    “Oh, it’s you,” This neer had recognized Sakurazaka Moony, and with a quick sweep, he also spotted Gu Fei and Young Master Han.


    “Thousand Miles Drunk?” The man called out.


    “Ah, we do know each other. No wonder I found you so familiar,” Gu Fei walked over, though he still had no idea who this person was.


    “That’s right, he’s Lushness’ friend,” Sakurazaka Moony walked over to Gu Fei’s side and prompted.


    “Oh, that’s right! You’re that Mage from before!” Gu Fei could suddenly match this voice to a face in his recollections, yet the man’s name escaped him. Thus, he secretly asked Sakurazaka Moony, “What’s his name?”


    “Easy Blue,” Sakurazaka Moony answered.


    “It’s Blue Ease, f*ck*ng g*dd*mm*t!” Blue Ease was incensed.


    “I did that on purpose,” Sakurazaka Moony very happily whispered to Gu Fei. He of course did not have too much of a favorable impression of this seemingly close friend of Vast Lushness’.


    “How childish,” Gu Fei derided.


    “It’s Vast Lushness who called them over to help you,” Sakurazaka Moony actually knew what was going on.


    “Oh? Why don’t I know about this?” Gu Fei was surprised.


    “Huh? She didn’t tell you either?” Sakurazaka Moony was also quite taken aback.


    That was when Gu Fei very quickly understood the reason. Vast Lushness’s style of behavior was very simr to Dusky Cloud, directly getting people to help without even making mention to the relevant parties, just like how Dusky Cloud had brought hisrades all the way to Yunduan City before contacting Gu Fei.


    Gu Fei promptly sent a message to Vast Lushness to verify all this. Meanwhile, after seeing Thousand Miles Drunk here at this ce, Blue Ease had swept one round of the faces in the crowd and did not see Vast Lushness, so he had also sent a message out to her as well.
