Chapter 591 Wait for me, my Goddess!
Liam's heart pounded in excitement as he saw the little furry creature shaking her head again. "Violet, are you sure? Did you pick this one up at the tower? When?"
Chik Chik Chik Chik
The rabbit vigorously shook her head again.
"Hey! I know you can talk! Can you tell me when you took it?"
Chik Chik Chik Chik
The cute little bunny smiled adorably without doing anything. Liam tried for five minutes, but in the end, nothing worked out. Not even bribing with food worked out.
He then smiled helplessly and let her be. The only information that he could gather was that the crystal had something to do with the PVP tower.
What exactly was it, and what it did needed to be figured out. However, there wasn't any hurry at the moment, at least about this, because the crystal was in no way reacting to him.
Liam thought about it for a moment and then placed the crystal back in his inventory space. The royal city wasn't too far, so he began observing the events outside the city to ensure that it was safe for them and that they were not being tracked.
Soon they arrived at the grand city. The metallic feathers glided, and Talon landed under a small tree near the city entrance. Liam and Asura hopped off, and the bird immediately flew up again to disappear.
Thanks to the PVP tower, Yleka city was fully crowded, and royal city streets seemed to be deserted. Only a fraction of players were roaming around here, visiting the different places to finish their respective quests.
Liam and Asura comfortably walked on the roads and headed to the beast hall in the central sector of the city.
The royal city beast hall was much bigger, but only players with a certain reputation and those above Level 50 were allowed here.
Liam and Asura walked in without any issues as Liam had both the level and the reputation required even though he didn't have the hunter class.
"Where is Miss Seraphina?" He asked one of the hall assistants, and they were promptly brought to the master trainer.
"You again!" The loli stood up in alarm. She then remembered whom she was talking to and changed her attitude quickly. "Lord Duke! Forgive me, I mistook you for someone else." She awkwardly smiled.
"Please tell me how I may help you this time."
"Can we go somewhere private and have a conversation?" Liam calmly asked.
Seraphina led them to one of the rooms upstairs. Seeing the serious expression on Liam's face, she was very nervous. "Did something happen to the fox, my Lord?"
Liam nodded. He then lifted Luna to reveal the small fox. She was sleeping comfortably on his hands, looking very weak and fragile.
It would be difficult for anyone to believe that this was the same fox who had repeatedly thrown herself in danger to protect Liam.
"My Lord… this…" The loli looked shocked. She carefully took Luna in her hands and started examining the beast. However, after a few minutes, only a frown surfaced on her face as she shook her head helplessly.
"My Lord… please forgive me… I am unable to help you this time as well."
Seraphina had seen several beasts in her lifetime, but this was the first time she had been left speechless by the same little beast over and over again and again.
She had also never seen any one beast getting injured in so many mysterious ways.
She continued staring at the fox and mumbled in contemplation, "Your contracted pet… she is fine superficially, but I think that there is something wrong with her. She is perhaps injured deep inside. That is why she is sleeping like this."
"She will need some time to heal." Seraphina stroked the fox's silky fur, which was a bit rough around the edges at the moment.
Liam sighed, "Is there anything we can do to help her?"
"I am sorry, My Lord. I am really out of my depth here. Like I told you last time, the royal Grandmaster arrived in the city a few days back. Considering your status, you can maybe pay a visit to him?"
"Hmmm."
"He might be able to help you. Otherwise, it is up to the fox when she wakes up. She is very traumatized. She is a young beast, after all." Seraphina added.
Liam took Luna back from her hands and then snugly held her in his arm. He then thanked the trainer and started heading out.
However, they did not walk toward the royal palace where this Grandmaster trainer resided. Instead, they were walking out of the city.
"Master, we are not visiting the Grandmaster? I have heard that they are very capable and have a lot of knowledge." Asura asked.
Liam simply shook his head. Right now, maybe the obvious choice was to visit that trainer, but he knew that it would be the wrong decision. He needed to be careful with NPCs.
If the tower master had created this whole tournament production because he coveted his belonging, then what were the chances that the same situation wouldn't be repeated with this Grandmaster trainer?
Especially when grandmaster Acalan was out of town, he wanted to be careful with the NPCs. At the same time, Luna's condition was also questionable.
"Damn it." Liam cursed and walked out. "I need to help her." He was in a terrible mood because both Derek and Luna were still not out of danger yet.
He walked out of the city and whistled for Talon, absent-mindedly climbing atop the big bird. However, just as they flew up, Liam suddenly received a system message.
"Not so fast. Come back down. We need to discuss some things."
"Hmmm?" Liam frowned and closed the message.
But another one readily popped up.
"I know your identity. I know where you live. You come and meet me right this instant. Otherwise, I will announce everything to the world."
And the sender of this message was Gu Donghai.
….
….
….
Meanwhile…
"Yes. Yes. I am sure. That bitch boy will be here." Gu Donghai loudly laughed.
"Boss… but he is rank1… is it really good to threaten him like this… inside the game?" One of the players standing next to him asked.
Gu Donghai immediately sneered. "That's why I have gotten our whole group and also these guys." He pointed at the group of players who were standing on the side.
"Those bastards from the main branch didn't give us enough back up, but see how I managed to get these idiots. Do you even know our strength right now?"
"Boss?" The guy widened his eyes in anticipation.
"He He He. You have no idea. We have five hundred players on our side, and they are right here. Just seconds away from us. They are all hiding in the dungeon. Do you understand now?"
"Ah." The lackey hurriedly shook his head. Immediately the other guys standing near them started praising Gu Donghai.
Gu Donghai would have wanted to stand like the hero that he was gracefully, but unfortunately, he was feeling too weak these days.
So he cleared his throat and saved his face by quickly sitting down. This time he had another black panther as a mount, one that looked very similar to the panther which Mei Mei had stolen.
Sitting on top of that, he haughtily looked around, waiting for his new best friend to appear.
Time ticked by and soon, almost an hour passed. Now Gu Donghai started getting annoyed. "This bitch is not at all punctual. Wait. I will teach you manners when I am done with you." He harrumphed.
"Boss, will he even show up?"
"Of course, he will. His life is in my hands." He arrogantly snorted when suddenly a huge shadow passed them by.
"Boss! He is here!" Someone shouted. When everyone looked up at the sky, there was a big bird circling them with two men sitting on top.
And one of the two was unmistakably Liam!
"There you are. Finally." Gu Donghai sneered. If anyone else was in his place, they might have missed this chance, but he was smart. He put two and two together instantly.
He had seen a woman in the group fight. This particular woman was not any ordinary woman. She was the love of his life, plaguing his heart and mind every second and minute.
Ever since he had seen her at the restaurant, he couldn't take his mind off of her. He was at a point where he didn't see a reason to live unless he had her with him.
And this person, his woman, was with this bastard!
After he saw them together and the tournament abruptly ended, he had caught a glimpse of Liam's face before the displays went out.
And immediately, it struck him. His goddess was going to be his, all thanks to this idiot. His life was completely going to change after today.
"Goddess, wait for me." Gu Donghai rubbed his hands in anticipation.
