Chapter 98

"Hey, can you make the call? Where are you taking them?"

Zaji said he didn't want to stay in the League of Legends anymore, and Alpha immediately asked Lancelot to do him a favor and take Zaji to Fengxue Tiandu. Zaji's eyes lit up at the prospect; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Compared to Fengxue Tiandu, the League of Legends was nothing, not even a fart!

"I can, but Tiandu doesn't accept anyone below the Hero rank now..."

Lancelot was a bit hesitant. He had already used a backdoor to admit Bella, and now taking in Zaji... Lancelot felt it was a bit too much, wasn't it like the "Pleasant Afternoon" that Zaji mentioned, where a small person gets a bit of power and goes wild?

"Can you get a membership by helping the League of Legends' leader once?"

"Absolutely."

"Then that's settled. Come on, buddy, I'll teach you how to say it..."

Alpha called Zaji over and taught him how to lie, word by word. Zaji nodded as he listened, while Lancelot stood nearby, sweat pouring down his face, thinking to himself:

"Damn, can you not be so devious?"

After holding it in for a while, he finally couldn't take it anymore:

"Why are you so devious?"

"What's wrong? Don't you want to take down Chairman Shit?"

Alpha shrugged, crouching in front of the swirling space vortex, constantly looking into the distance, waiting for Bella to arrive.

Bella was delayed because she encountered an elite team from the League of Legends on her way, forcing her to take a detour to avoid them.

The elite team from the League of Legends was led by their president, Shichen Yujianxianren, whom Alpha called "Chairman Shit," heading to the Black Wasteland to "take care of" Feichai and Lanyuetao.

Indeed, Chairman Shit, who had just arrived at the Black Wasteland, was now leading his team out of it, trying to intercept Feichai and Lanyuetao, who had "escaped with the moving space vortex." They might have fled to the nearby Temu Plateau.

Clearly, all of this was what Alpha had taught Zaji to say.

In fact, the real heroes on the Temu Plateau were not Lanyuetao but the top expert of Fengxue Tiandu, Feng Wubei, leading a group of hero-level strongmen, waiting for Shichen Yujianxianren and his guards to fall into their trap.

This time, the League of Legends' leaders would pay the price of death for their gullibility—after level 60, each player only had 10 chances to die normally.

"Of course, we want to take down Chairman Shit... He's so afraid of death. He usually talks the loudest, always talking about killing this and that, and even shouting about real-life PKs. But when the madman bought a plane ticket and came to his home turf for a real-life showdown, he pretended to be dead for over a month and didn't dare to log into the game..."

While he said Alpha was devious, Lancelot was actually the one most eager to teach "Chairman Shit" a lesson.

After everything was arranged, they added Zaji as a friend. This super kung fu enthusiast was eager to have "Feichai" teach him martial arts, which made Alpha sweat profusely.

Not only did this guy recognize that Alpha was using martial arts, but the idea of teaching martial arts left Alpha at a loss.

—Teach what? Alpha's moves were all system-generated, purely procedural...

"Here they come."

A graceful figure was running towards the hill, accompanied by a snow-white wolf. It was Bella and Bai Fang.

"Alright, everyone's here..."

Alpha waved to Bella, but his smile suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?"

Lancelot, who was nearsighted, didn't see what was happening with Bella, but he sensed something was off from Alpha's suddenly furrowed brow.

"Someone is chasing Bella."

Alpha said simply, and with a flash of golden light, he rushed forward. Lancelot, though nearsighted, could see that Bella's light green jungle armor was scorched and discolored, and Bai Fang was in the same condition, clearly from fire damage.

Soon, Bella ran up close, and even Lancelot could see the damage. He swung his +6 [Ilendur Fragment] and rushed over.

Behind Bella, two figures, one black and one white, were not very clear in the faint morning mist of the Black Wasteland.

"What's going on?"

Alpha pulled Bella behind him. Bella crouched down to comfort Bai Fang, and Lancelot rushed over, eyeing the two figures warily.

"I don't know, they just followed me."

"Then what about this..."

Alpha pointed to the burn marks on Bella's armor.

"Bai Fang scratched the black guy, which seems to have triggered the [Burning Hand] on his equipment, and he was burned."

Bella stuck out her tongue, indicating it wasn't an attack. Alpha didn't say anything.

The two figures approached, the green vortex representing [Acceleration] gradually fading. It seemed these two spellcasters were using this spell to track Bella.

Neither of them had a badge, so it was hard to tell their specific classes.

"Black and White, what's the meaning of this?"

Alpha didn't recognize them, but Lancelot did. They both looked like spellcasters, one in a white robe and one in a black robe.

The guy in the white robe was chubby, with features that didn't quite fit together, making him look rather ugly. His constant grimace was even worse. The guy in the black robe was handsome, but his face looked fake, with no expression at all.

The "Black and White" duo hadn't spoken yet, but Alpha was already eyeing the black-robed one with suspicion. The white-robed one was too ugly for Alpha to care, but the black-robed one was different. A handsome guy chasing his wife made Alpha uncomfortable.

They stared at each other for a while, saying nothing. Lancelot and the white-robed one exchanged a wry smile, clearly understanding their companions' personalities.

After about two minutes, Alpha's eyes couldn't take it anymore. He muttered, "Expressionless," and started rubbing his dry, itchy eyes, admitting defeat.

The black-robed guy still had no expression, but his lips curled slightly, and he took out a small bottle of unknown potion, dropping two drops into his eyes.

"Damn, even brought eye drops."

Alpha said disdainfully. The black-robed one didn't respond, but the white-robed one spoke up:

"Don't mind him, Black is just like that."

"Alright, Old White, don't use Black as an excuse. What's going on? Two big guys chasing my sister-in-law?"

"She's my sister-in-law."

Alpha corrected, but Lancelot ignored him and looked at "Old White."

"Misunderstanding, we just wanted to meet 'Feichai.' We couldn't talk in private, so we had to resort to this."

"Sure, if you couldn't talk, how did you know my wife was coming to see me? You must have done your homework on us."

Alpha said disdainfully, squeezing Bella's hand. Bella was a bit embarrassed, trying to pull her hand away but failing.

"Hey, that's right."

Old White was straightforward, admitting it and extending his hand to Alpha:

"I'm Bai Wuchang, and he's Hei Wuchang. Lanyuetao should have mentioned us, right? Let's formally meet?"

"No, he never mentioned you two. I don't even know who Chujiang Wang is."

Alpha scowled, turning his back to Bai Wuchang, who smiled and looked at Lancelot, who rolled his eyes:

"Stop being a jerk, Old White means no harm."

"If he means no harm, why not come to me directly?"

Alpha's words made Lancelot think. Why follow Bella if they wanted to see Alpha?

"The League of Legends is after her."

Hei Wuchang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke coldly. Lancelot counted on his fingers:

"Eight words, I bet he could talk for a week."

"Hey, a few guys with bad intentions were following her, saying they saw her in 'Legend' before, and... well, they didn't have good intentions."

Bai Wuchang explained, and Alpha understood. It seemed the League of Legends was indeed following Bella.

The "Legend" story was true. Bella hadn't adjusted her appearance, so she was likely recognized by old enemies. The League of Legends was ruthless, ruining people's livelihoods in "Legend" and now causing trouble. Alpha decided he couldn't let these guys off.

So, the "Black and White" duo was actually helping. Alpha felt a bit embarrassed:

"...Sorry... Hey, buddy, don't take it personally. Actually, Lancelot mentioned you two, the Black and White Wuchang, and the Four Judges—hey, do some eye exercises, it's better than eye drops."

Alpha couldn't help but advise Hei Wuchang, who remained expressionless.

"Sure, sure, we just came to meet Feichai, nothing else."

"Hey, you could have just told me. All this trouble, I'm a bit busy today. Let's meet another day. About the last incident..."

"Wait, you said you were sent? By the Eighteen Hells?"

Alpha suddenly remembered something and interrupted Lancelot.

"Uh, yes, just to have a chat. Don't take the misunderstanding with Water Vapor seriously. She's used to being arrogant. As for the rest, let's call it even."

Bai Wuchang spoke sincerely. Alpha had killed Water Vapor twice and looted her, but they were willing to call it even, which was a high gesture.

But Alpha was more concerned with something else:

"Didn't you send someone named Xiuyi to find me?"

"Xiuyi? Who's that?"

Bai Wuchang shook his head, and Lancelot also realized something:

"That's why I didn't recognize him. Could it be..."

"Damn, they really are after me?"

Alpha and Lancelot exchanged a glance, and Bella's eyes showed concern. The "Black and White" duo, confused, stared at each other. After a while, Bai Wuchang rubbed his sore eyes:

"Who are you picking a fight with now?"

Hei Wuchang didn't speak, but took out a small bottle...
