"I have to hand it to you. You are indeed something special. This is the first time I am seeing anything like this," Liam smiled.
Seeing the familiar face and the familiar voice materializing, Kouske, Barret, and all the other players were in utter shock. How the hell did this guy show up here?
They had gathered this information with great difficulty and paying a good price, so how could this guy also possibly come here to the exact same location at the exact same time?
However, that did not matter at the moment. What mattered was…
Without wasting any second, Kouske immediately summoned the humongous death knight and Barret unleashed some sort of aura. The other players also started chanting something making the necessary preparations.
Every single one of the players gathered in the area seemed to be ready to shoot Liam at sight and kill him as if he was the most wanted criminal.
However, before anything like that could happen, unexpectedly one person raised his hand, ceasing any and all efforts.
"That's enough." The black-cladded figure muttered.
His words brought an uncomfortable silence to the place, no one daring to say anything else afterward. They could only silently glare at the bastard who was still continuing to smile as if he were mocking them.
"Hey. Hey. Hey. Listen to your leader now. He knows I am not here to cause any trouble." Liam shrugged with a chuckle and walked forward casually.
His words, his mannerisms, his smile, everything was inflammatory but the others could only grit their teeth and bear with it. Not a single person dared to open their mouth.
"I am impressed," Liam muttered and squatted down in front of the black-cladded figure. He still couldn't see the face clearly but he could see the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Hello. We finally meet?"
"Hmmm…"
"A man of few words?"
"My words are expensive. Just like my time. I don't like others wasting it."
"Then I will come straight to the point." Liam chuckled. "You wanted to see me and I am here. In return, I need something from you. "
Hearing the shameless guy, Kouske could no longer refrain himself so he ended up shouting loudly. "What the hell are you blabbering? Who wanted to see whom? You were the one who was begging to meet with us!"
The guy not only broke up their team but now dared to show up in front of their whole group and talk so haughtily? Unbelievable!
However, Liam once again simply laughed it off.
"Shhh. Small fries should keep quiet when the adults are talking. We can do this later after the meeting is over? I would love to talk to you! Remember? Our last conversation? It was fun, right?"
"Bastard!" Kouske was livid.
Liam smiled and turned towards the black-cladded figure again who was staring at him strangely through the gold-rimmed glasses.
"I need information about one of my guild members. I need to know where he might be at the moment. Can you get that for me?"
"Hmmm?"
"In return, I will owe you one."
Finally, even the silent person couldn't keep a straight face. Hearing him, the guy lifted his head up and looked back at him through the gold-rimmed glasses. "Heh. Your words are worthless."
"Yes. You are a snake! Do you think we are fools to trust the words of a snake?" Kouske clenched his hands in anger, but the next second he snapped his mouth shut as Liam turned and looked at him, his cold gaze gripping the guy.
He then silently turned back to look at the seated person in front of him. He was finally able to see his face.
"Be that as it may… but…" Liam smirked and added, "Didn't you already divine a good fortune here? So the information I have… it should be useful to you right?"
"Hmmm…."
"No matter how I look at it, you are the one benefitting from this exchange. So why not go with it? Isn't that what is good for you?"
This time the person did not respond anything back immediately. He looked at Liam as if he was thinking about something deeply.
Seeing the two grown guys stare at each other in pin-drop silence, everyone gulped nervously. The silence was almost deafening. Only the whooshing sounds of the wind could be heard.
Their heart was beating loudly and even the sweat trickling down could be felt vividly. Just what was going to happen? No one knew what either of them was thinking.
The tension in the air was palpable. A big battle could break out at any given instant so everyone held their breath watching this scene playing out in front of them.
Was their big boss going to accept this madman's proposal or reject it?
Just when the tension was at the highest point suddenly someone laughed and this time it was not Liam. "You seem very nervous. You are talking a lot. So this must be really important for you hmm?"
The black-cladded figure stood up. He pinched his gold-rimmed glass to his nose, making sure to let Liam know that he had the upper hand in this conversation.
"Ok. I will agree. Just this once."
Liam didn't say anything. He remained silent. Seeing this the other party laughed again, "Well, I can't do it right now. I need time."
Liam nodded.
"I will send you a message in three days' time."
"Ok."
The two of them then glanced at each other before Liam abruptly entered stealth.
"Hey!" Kouske immediately became alarmed and tried to search for his presence and the others also prepared to locate him. However, the big boss shook his head. "No need."
"Sir! This… I cannot accept this. He has caused us a lot of loss. How could we allow him to freely walk in and walk out like this? I am sorry. I just cannot."
