328  Chapter327-We'll Settle Our Scores Gradually

Wolf Prime trembled with rage, never imagining the day he'd be so blatantly belittled.

As the guild leader of Wolf Guild, boasting a special noble class in the game 'Godslayer', he had always strutted with arrogance, never before having to swallow such humiliation.

Moreover, he had never before encountered an adversary like John.

However, at this moment, he had to admit, John's prowess far exceeded his expectations, rendering their Guild Battle utterly futile.

"You think you've won? This is just temporary!"

Even though he realized his inevitable defeat, Wolf Prime still gritted his teeth and spat out a threat, "You're just a lone player. In a formal Guild Battle, you can't refuse. Starting today, I'll challenge Tide Guild to a Guild Battle every single day. If you dare, stand guard here forever!"

John raised an eyebrow, the icy gleam in his eyes sending shivers down one's spine, "A Guild Battle every day? Let me make something clear to you. If you dare instigate another Guild Battle against Tide Guild, I'll march straight to the Wolf Guild's main base. Every Wolf Guild member who steps out will become my target."

With a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, John looked at Wolf Prime, "I'm curious to see who among you will have the fortune to escape my grasp."

John's words further fueled Wolf Prime's anger.

He wished nothing more than to tear John apart, yet was powerless in the face of reality. Because he knew John spoke the truth.

He could indeed block their guild's base entrance, as all guild bases are located in the wilderness where PvP combat is permitted.

If John were determined to hunt down the guild members, he wouldn't even face system penalties.

At most, his personal reputation might take a minor hit, but for a powerful player like John, such a loss is negligible...

John no longer paid heed to Wolf Prime, instead turning to Dirge, whose complexion had slightly improved, and asked with a light chuckle, "Are you alright?"

Dirge gently shook her head, smiling, "Thank you for saving me and our guild..."

John slowly shook his head in response, stating earnestly, "No need for thanks. It was a mere gesture on my part. You all saved yourselves."

"To be honest, for a newly-formed guild like yours to exhibit such strong team cohesion is beyond my expectations."

"Since I made a promise to Chairman Taylor, I'll make sure to keep it. If any danger arises in the future, do not hesitate to contact me..."

John didn't lower his voice, so all the surrounding guild members who were spectating heard his words.

On Dirge's still pale face, a warm smile emerged, and a comforting warmth seemed to silently flow within her heart.

She knew John had spoken those words intentionally.

His goal was to send a powerful message to the surrounding guilds, signaling that Tide Guild was under his protection.

This was the first time in Dirge's life that she'd been protected by a man's words spoken with such dominance.

A profound sense of security surged within her.

With the support of MoonWhite, Dirge picked up her fallen weapon.

Every now and then, she would sneak a glance at John, only to quickly lower her head again, her gaze fleeting away as if jolted by electricity.

At this moment, John's attention was solely on Wolf Prime, waiting for his response.

Therefore, he didn't notice Dirge's subtle gestures.

However, MoonWhite, who was closest to the scene, saw everything clearly.

She suddenly leaned into Dirge's ear, teasing with a soft voice as fragrant as orchids, "Sister Dirge, don't you think Galewind is incredibly imposing? Did he make your heart flutter a bit?"

Dirge's face turned beet red, her eyes dancing with embarrassment.

She playfully pinched MoonWhite, reproaching lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Silly girl, at a time like this, and you still have the mood to gossip?"

MoonWhite pouted, responding with feigned annoyance, "It's so obvious, why deny it? Galewind is so handsome and strong; it's only natural to be smitten by him. Where did that bold and spirited Sister Dirge from before go?"

Now, Dirge felt even more embarrassed, wishing she could stitch MoonWhite's teasing mouth shut right then and there.

She sneaked another glance at John, ensuring he hadn't overheard the remark.

Only then did she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Yet, for reasons unknown, a profound sense of melancholy welled up in Dirge's heart...

John, in fact, had heard the exchange between the two.

Given their proximity and John's level of prowess, it was impossible for anything to elude his ears.

However, he wasn't sure how to respond, so he decided to feign ignorance.

Noting Wolf Prime still stubbornly standing his ground, a hint of impatience growing evident, John remarked with a hint of annoyance, "Have you made up your mind? If you don't get lost now, all of your guild members might as well stay here!"

Seeing the situation spiraling out of his control, Wolf Prime was acutely aware that there was no chance of them winning this Guild Battle.

He glared vehemently at John and Dirge, wishing he could obliterate them in the game.

Yet, such thoughts were mere wishful thinking, limited to his mind's fantasies.

With a dark, resentful tone, he said to Dirge, "You're lucky this time. I'll let you off."

With that, Wolf Prime prepared to turn and leave.

But as he took just one step, John's calm voice echoed from behind, "Wait... You can't possibly think you can just leave after a few threats, can you?"

Wolf Prime's expression froze momentarily, then he whipped around with a menacing look, "Do you have any other demands?"

John grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, "Look at what you've done to our base – buildings nearly demolished, many members injured. All these damages would require a vast amount of gold coins to rebuild!"

"Since your guild caused this mess, shouldn't there be some compensation?"

Wolf Prime was so livid he felt he might grind his teeth to dust.

He gritted, "Guild Battles are about mutual offense and defense between two guilds.

All the losses will be compensated by the system after the battle ends.

Why would there be a need for any money?"

John shrugged nonchalantly and said in all seriousness, "Well, what if the system doesn't compensate adequately? Your Wolf Guild is flush with funds; you surely won't mind parting with a trifle amount. As for Tide Guild, a newly established small guild like ours is already financially stretched. It wouldn't hurt for you to offer some compensation before leaving."

Wolf Prime initially wanted to flatly refuse.

But when he looked up into John's eyes, filled with a playful yet challenging glint, a chill ran down his spine.

The rejection that had risen to his lips was hastily swallowed back.

"Fine... Let our Wolf Guild offer 300,000 gold coins as compensation. That should suffice, right?"

John tilted his head towards Dirge, awaiting her response.

To his surprise, he was met with a sea of bewildered faces.

All the members of Tide Guild were utterly flabbergasted.

They'd never experienced asking for compensation from an opponent after a battle; today was indeed unprecedented.

The triumphant victory of Tide Guild evoked fervent admiration from all the spectators.

03:36

They couldn't fathom how a single player had single-handedly defeated an entire guild, a feat that Dirge, equally stunned, wore an adorably dazed expression.

Catching John's inquisitive gaze, she quickly nodded in agreement.

Stroking his chin, John mused aloud, "300,000 gold coins is just about acceptable. Great, we've settled on that then! But any equipment you've dropped stays right here, consider it our spoils of war."

Wolf Prime's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He trembled as he pointed a shaky finger at John, rendered momentarily speechless.

This was akin to plucking a goose completely bare!

"Galewind, you're truly something else!" MoonWhite, ever the audacious one, cheered loudly, her admiration palpable in every word.

John's expression remained as placid as still water.

His gaze swept the vicinity, and his icy voice echoed in the ears of all Wolf Guild players, "Now, aren't you all leaving yet?"

Members of Wolf Guild exchanged disbelieving glances.

They had assumed their guild would effortlessly breach the heart of Tide Guild, but little did they expect to be halted by a single individual, reaching a point where they couldn't even reclaim their dropped equipment.

Finally, Wolf Prime rose, bowed his head, and silently retreated from Tide Guild's base.

He realized that he stood no chance against John and had no choice but to obediently abide by John's terms.

The triumphant victory of Tide Guild evoked fervent admiration from all the spectators.

They couldn't fathom how a single player had single-handedly defeated an entire guild, a feat that seemed legendary.

The members of Tide Guild all looked at John, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

They knew that without John's intervention, their guild was beyond saving and was doomed to be decimated by Wolf Guild.

Once all members of Wolf Guild had exited the premises of Tide Guild, John's gaze suddenly fixated on Darklord SoulSong and Wolf Howl, among others.

Without any evident movement on John's part, his serene voice distinctly resonated in their ears.

"When you get back, pass a message to AGHHO. Tell them the next time they plan to assassinate me, they better send more skilled players. As for the three of you, we'll settle our score another time."

Their expressions froze instantly.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
