Upon hearing the voice from behind, Wolf Union, Howard's face lit up with joy. The union president had arrived!
Howard's face was already a little pale. Although he had been holding his breath to decrease the reduction to his HP, he did not know that the kid in front of him was so strange. His HP had already been reduced by more than half.
James Williams looked at the source of the voice and a few golden words appeared in front of him: Wolf Union, Arthur.
He raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen a golden name. It seemed that the person in front of him was the president of the Wolf Union.
However, he did not panic and calmly looked at Arthur. Arthur had no choice but to speak again, "Friend, I apologize on behalf of my men. Let him go first."
Arthur saw that James Williams was wearing a silver equipment set. He was a wizard who owned a silver set and had effortlesly trapped a tank. They did not want to provoke him.
Although he had been killing monsters elsewhere to level up, the server had just been opened. He was only level 2, and this man in the silver set was already level 3.
James Williams glanced at Arthur. "Your subordinate resorted to violence just because he did not manage to reduce the price of the skill book. If I let him out now, will your union come and kill me?
"I'm fine with letting him go. However, you have to prepare 20,000 gold coins for me to do so."
Hearing Hades' words, the surrounding people sighed. 20,000 gold coins! That was enough to exchange for a set of high-level silver equipment.
Arthur's face was ashen. It was clear that this person did not care about their union. Since he asked for so much, there was clearly no room for negotiation.
Looking at the silent union members, James Williams had just wanted to try. It seemed that they were reluctant to give up so many gold coins.
Arthur turned his head to look at the people behind him. His subordinates understood him and they slowly began to approach James Williams.
Since they could not come to terms, then they would have to rely on strength!
However, no one paid attention to the kitten beside them.
James Williams, who had long expected for the negotiation to fail, was ready for battle. The Voodoo Barrier that had been charged up had already locked onto everyone. The Energy Fluctuation emitted by the kitten had also hit everyone.
Arthur was shocked. It was obvious that he did not know much about the Eternity Continent. The union had not even started to study pets, yet his pet was already capable of attacking.
The union members, who had been slowed down, could only watch helplessly as James Williams' Voodoo Barrier floated over and locked onto everyone.
"Hold your breath!" Arthur shouted and took a deep breath. His subordinates also held their breaths. However, as a high-level gold skill book, how could these people withstand the damage? They were not even equipped with a single defensive equipment.
The surrounding barrier locked onto them. The crowd that was watching the show also ran far away. They did not want to be involved in this. Slowly, the members of the Wolf Union fell one after another.
Seeing the surrounding union members fall, as the president of the union, Arthur had no other choices. Now, he could barely even protect himself. In this Voodoo Barrier, he would not be able to escape, not to mention that his speed had been decreased.
Seeing his HP slowly decrease, Arthur could not help but say, "Hehe, Hades, I'm willing to give you 20,000 gold coins. You can remove this thing first."
However, at this moment, James Williams did not think so. "Now you want to negotiate? Where's the domineering force from before? I don't only want 20,000 gold coins from you guys, I want another 50,000!"
The crowd that was originally watching the show had begun to slowly disperse, but suddenly, they heard Hades making a reckless demand. Moreover, they also wanted to see how the matter would be resolved. Thus, they gathered around and discussed in low voices.
Arthur looked at the slowly approaching crowd and thought of how he was going to lose all his face. However, if all the members of his union died at the start of the game, it would take five hours for everyone to resurrect. Within these five hours... who knew how many unions would surpass them.
The cost of this loss was not as simple as 70,000 gold coins.
James Williams had also caught them right when the server had just opened. Unions needed a large amount of experience to level up. If they died now, it would definitely create a huge gap between them and the other unions.
Arthur really wanted to curse when he heard James Williams' ridiculous demand. However, every time he spoke, the amount of HP he lost would increase by one point. Three to four members beside him had fallen, and he could not afford any more deaths.
"Fine! Fine! I promise you, quickly cancel the skill!"Arthur shouted.
The surrounding crowd who were watching the show burst into cheers. The person in front of them, named Hades, who was wearing a silver equipment set, actually suppressed the Wolf Union and even asked them to give him 70,000 gold coins!
James Williams canceled the skill. The members of the Wolf Union gasped for breath and looked at Hades in horror.
Arthur of the Wolf Union also looked at James Williams with a troubled expression. Their union had lost all their reputation in the 001 Server. It would not be long before all the major unions knew that their Wolf Union had been forced to pay money to Hades in order to save their lives.
James Williams looked at Arthur in front of him. "Alright, it's time to fulfill your promise. Transfer the money to me and this matter will be written off."
Arthur coughed dryly twice and still transferred the gold coins over.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on receiving the 70,000 gold coins from Arthur!]
Hearing the notification sound, James Williams nodded, took out the things that he had put away, and put them on the ground again.
The group of people from the Wolf Union did not have the face to stay here anymore. They left with Arthur as they needed to quickly level up now.
However, James Williams was not in a hurry at all. He could easily deal with the wild monsters by himself now. He was not worried about his current level at all.
After everyone saw the kitten beside James Williams launch an attack, some people who had not summoned their pets began to pay attention to their pets.
However, there were also some people who stood in front of James Williams and looked at the weapons in front of them. For people who had just reached level 1 or 2, having a weapon or a new skill would be of great help when killing monsters.
In the end, the low-level bronze straw sandals were sold for 330 gold coins, the low-level bronze iron sword was sold for 360 gold coins, and the low-level bronze tank skill book was sold for 320 gold coins.
Lastly, the high-level silver assassin skill book was sold for 1,600 gold coins after several assassins repeatedly increase the price.
This made James Williams extremely happy. He carefully organized the items in his inventory.
