Chapter 102: Collaboration
Chapter 102: Collaboration
"T-this... This is crazy..."
Some of the representatives of the top five strongest families who were on the top of the cliff, the butlers or even the young masters and the young ladies who were watching the occurrence, were shocked seeing what Sakim had done. But then, it was not as if they didn't expect much about the vessel. They knew that Sakim could defeat every player sent there. After all, those players were only regarded as cannon fodders and Sakim should have defeated them all. It would be more shocking if the vessel was defeated by them instead.
However, what they didn't expect was for Sakim to finish them off that easily. Who would have thought that he could wipe them out in one fell swoop? Not only that, instead of using his Greed Energy, what he only used was all the skills he had stolen.
They would be happy if he instead used his Greed Energy and went mad already but it seemed like using the Anti-Greed Nets against him only pushed him to rely on other means. It appeared that their decision to use Anti-Greed Nets to push him in desperation and awaken more of his Greed Energy was wrong. They should really use the other methods they had prepared now that they had failed their first attempt on awakening his Greed Energy even more.
But then, although some of the representatives of the top five strongest families were shocked, some of them were still nonchalant and only nodded their heads one time or two. They were as if measuring the capability of the vessel as they were satisfied with the result. In their mind, they were saying that it would be disappointing if he couldn't display such a feat.
But Leonard Sarile had a different reaction. Seeing the capability of Sakim, he couldn't help but grin as his bloodlust couldn't help leaking out from him. A streak of yellow lightning was even appearing and crawling on his body periodically as an oppressive aura had also exuded out from him.
"Now that all those useless trashes are wiped out, can I go there now?" Leonard spoke as he asked in anticipation. His arms were crossed as he was standing stately. It appeared that he was now itching to fight the vessel but he couldn't because someone was stopping him.
There was a man and a woman clad in a black suit standing behind him. Both of them wore an indifferent expression. Hearing their young master, they were speechless for a good while as the man finally responded seriously, "Just be careful, young master. If you think that you are in a difficult situa..."
"You're underestimating me too much." Leonard interrupted the other party with a grin. The bloodlust and oppressive aura exuding out from him became stronger as a much thicker streak of lightning flickered on his body. He fixed his gaze at Sakim from the faraway distance as he added, "Don't worry. He won't be able to kill me."
After saying those words, Leonard reflexively shifted his gaze in his right direction as there he saw Robert. The other party's arms were crossed as he was standing at the edge of the cliff in an imposing manner.
Tsk! Leonard suddenly frowned as he clicked his tongue dejectedly. Recalling how did this guy beat him up into a half-dead state could only make him grit his teeth. As such, he was determined and was thinking that someday, there would be a time where he could get his revenge.
Feeling the gaze of Leonard, Robert shifted his gaze at him. When their eyes had met, Robert smiled slightly as if he was saying hello.
"Hmph!" Leonard harrumphed coldly as he retracted his gaze. After which, he turned to look at Sakim as he said, "I will go there now. I leave the other things to the three of you."
"Alright, be careful, big brother." A lady spoke from the side. Her name was Lydia Sarile. She was wearing a yellow dress and an emotionless smile. Her blue eyes flickered in cold glint as she glanced at Leonard for a moment. Perhaps it was because of trust or she simply didn't care but she was not worried about whatever might happen to Leonard if he went there to fight the vessel.
"Alright," Leonard responded as he grinned afterward. After which, and with a swoosh and the sound of the lightning, he disappeared from where he was standing as it appeared that he rushed towards Sakim.
"So he is making a move now huh..." Jino Scarlet muttered seeing Leonard, the young master of the top 1 strongest family, was now making a move. He then narrowed his eyes gazing at Sakim from afar. Perhaps, he too should go there to enjoy himself, right?
With that in mind, Jino opened his mouth and said, "I will also go there now. Take care you three."
"Just leave this to us," A red-haired beautiful lady named Johanna Scarlet replied with a smile. Behind her were the two butlers nodding their heads one time.
Jino nodded his head once as he too disappeared from where he was standing.
The same went for the other three top families. Their young master also went to come at Sakim so as to give him a good beating already.
"Big brother Dante, please be careful," Diane said worriedly. She looked at her big brother, the silver-haired man sitting on the cliff, with concerned eyes.
"Don't worry about me." Dante smiled slightly as he got up from the ground. After stretching his back and then his neck, he added, "I will leave now. See you later."
"Alright," Diane also smiled. After which, she saw Dante disappearing from where he was standing as only then did she turn sad again. She came closer to Robert as she leaned her head on the other party's shoulder trying to find comfort. If only she could get a hug from the other party, then that would be much better. Diane could only sigh deeply seeing how sensible Robert was. How sensible. He really was way too sensible.
Robert, on the other hand, began to sweat as he found himself filled with uneasiness again. This woman really did what she always wanted to him. Couldn't she at least put some distance from him? She wasn't acting like a young lady at all.
But knowing the good show that was about to transpire, Robert chased away all the wild thoughts as he suddenly turned serious. To think that these five young masters of the top strongest families would collaborate just to deal with Sakim. He really had never seen such a case before since these top families were always competing against each other.
But knowing who they were dealing with, Robert could only nod in agreement. Even if it was him, he wasn't that confident of defeating the current state of the vessel. How much more if they awakened more of his power? If that really happened, he was afraid that even escaping could only be an impossible dream for him. Even death could be an option.
Robert narrowed his eyes slightly. Whatever might happen to him as a consequence of his action, he would make sure that he would stop the top families on their scheme. Using the vessel as an energy core for that Behemoth? Robert didn't believe that it was only to achieve a first place on the Battlefield next year. He had this feeling telling him that they were up to something even greater that could bring great catastrophe. If he let such a thing happen, then his conscience wouldn't let him sleep.
The only thing he was afraid of was if the upper echelon of the top families finally made a move. He would surely be powerless against them if that happened.
As such, Robert really needed the help of the Greed Spirit and those two ladies. But then, he knew full well that even with the four of them, it would still be difficult to stop the scheme of the top families. After all, they weren't just your ordinary families. They were one of the strongest forces in Greedland and their resources far exceed theirs. Facing the whole bunch with just the four of them was really next to impossible.
Robert was just thankful that there was currently an ongoing event as the upper echelon of the top families were busy dealing with such matters. With that, their chances of stopping the scheme of the top families had improved significantly. Robert could only smile inwardly thinking how would those old fogeys react once he managed to stop their kids from carrying out their scheme.
But...
Where the hell was the Greed Spirit now? Why was he still not showing up? And also, those ladies... Where were those two as well? It couldn't be that they weren't planning on showing up, right? That would be troublesome if they really stay to just watch what was going on. Hopefully, he was just overthinking things. Robert couldn't help swallowing dry saliva just by thinking of dealing with these people just by himself.
