Hearing Blue Sea's words, Adam immediately expressed interest.
"Interesting, for you, Blue Sea, to actively extend such an olive branch, it mustn't be a small favor." "Let's hear it, if I can help, I might lend you a hand."
Blue Sea got straight to the point:
"According to the auction house's practice, they provide certain protection to the customer who buys the most valuable item."
"I just found out that the Silver Knight Order personally escorted that 'Darklord' out of Silverglow."
Adam laughed.
"So, Guild Leader Blue Sea wants to snatch that item? That's unexpected."
"I'm very interested in the treasure of the ancient Devil recorded in that Ancient Parchment."
Blue Sea shook his head again, "No, not to rob him, I want to make a deal with him."
This made Adam a bit confused.
"Deal? What deal?"
"That guy may have some money, but it's clear his strength is not up to par. If he tries to unearth The Devil's treasure on his own, he's sure to die, the risk is incredibly high..."
"Without a powerful player around, he will not be able to safely retrieve the treasure."
Adam understood Blue Sea's point.
He crossed his arms, shook his head and said, "Although you make sense... I noticed at the auction that this guy named Darklord is a bit off in the head, are you sure he would agree to cooperate with you?"
"In my opinion, it would be better to just snatch it directly. I can dispatch our guild's best scouts, they will definitely find out Darklord's whereabouts."
Blue Sea decisively refused, "Robbery is not something that a guild ranked in the top ten worldwide can do."
"Also, if we're only talking about cooperation, we don't need to know his whereabouts, we just need to post a message on the public screen or forum, he will see it."
Adam still wasn't optimistic about this deal.
He said, "Someone spent a whole 40 million dollars to buy this treasure information, do you think he would willingly share it with you?"
Blue Sea put down his glass and said, "I didn't say I was going to take advantage of him for free... I'll offer a reasonable price."
"Plus with your and my strength assisting, I can't see why he would refuse."
Adam laughed, "It seems you don't understand human nature enough, you can't use rationality and logic to analyze every person... That guy is quite crazy, I still suggest you and I team up to snatch that parchment."
"Even if we don't snatch it, he's definitely being targeted by many large guilds."
"That's exactly my point," Blue Sea remained graceful and composed, not at all affected by Adam's negation of his judgment. "
"He also knows he's the target of public criticism, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the auction house to arrange for the Silver Knight Order to protect him. "
"If he wants to safely get that treasure, he must have a strong enough backing."
"That's the greatest value we can provide in this deal."
"The Blue Sea Guild plus the Genesis Guild, with such a powerful lineup, who would dare to target this parchment?"
Adam, who was originally not very interested, was somewhat swayed by Blue Sea's words.
He stood up, threw down a gold coin as payment for the drinks, and then said: "If you can really convince him, I don't mind cooperating with you."
"After all, it's The Devil's treasure."
"However, if you want to get me involved throughout the process, and use the Genesis Guild's reputation as a shield... I should get a share of that treasure."
Blue Sea smiled and said, "No problem, leave the convincing to me."
...
In the game, due to the legendary item being bought, all factions were stirring.
Everyone was trying to find out the whereabouts of Darklord and the core players in his guild.
Strangely, these people seemed to have evaporated in the game world and completely disappeared.
Even the best scouts in the major guilds couldn't find their traces.
This became a mystery.
In the public chat channel, every minute someone was calling out to Darklord.
Some were making requests.
Some were threatening.
Some were seeking cooperation.
Anyway, all sorts of people were there.
And the joint statement of Blue Sea and Adam, the two major guild leaders, shocked all the players.
They didn't expect these two outstanding figures in the gaming world to team up and seek cooperation with Darklord.
As a result, the voices threatening Darklord became much less.
If they offended the Blue Sea Guild or the Genesis Guild, they would definitely lose more than they could gain.
In a sparsely populated valley to the north of Silverglow, Darklord was tightly holding the parchment in his hand, constantly browsing the forum and chat room.
A rooky said to him, "Young Master, I didn't expect the Blue Sea Guild and the Genesis Guild to issue a joint statement..."
"With these two major guilds in place, we don't have to hide anymore!"
Another immediately echoed, "Yes, yes."
"Young Master, although it's safe here, it's not good for us to keep hiding..."
"I see Blue Sea also said that he and Adam are willing to compensate you 20 million dollars, when we get the treasure, we can still get 50%, and in addition to that, they can guarantee our safety in the game... these terms are really great!"
Darklord was indecisive in the face of the persuasion of his two rookies.
He spent so much money to buy the Ancient Parchment, just to monopolize The Devil's treasure and dominate the game.
But things are not as simple as he thought.
He thought that after he got the parchment, as long as he hid for a while, the players would forget about him.
However, since he hid, the topic of finding him in the forum and in-game chat room has never stopped.
This made Darklord feel a bit scared.
Although he has some money in reality, in the game, he is far from being a top player.
Before finding The Devil's treasure and becoming stronger, if he was really robbed, then the 40 million dollars would be wasted, and his shares would be sold for nothing.
Every time he thought about this, Darklord was extremely torn...
"Get 'SoulSong' online!"
Darklord thought of the strongest player in his guild and quickly told his rookies.
Before long, SoulSong logged in.
He used the guild's teleportation stone to teleport directly to the valley and was brought to Darklord by his rookies.
This "SoulSong" was a warrior dressed in black heavy armor, who was arrogant, taciturn, and looked very strong.
If John were here, he could definitely recognize his identity.
This person was the one who had harmed him and switched his talent to the garbage "Sacrifice" - the previous guild leader!
"What's the matter, Darklord? Someone's bothering you?"
SoulSong's voice was cold.
He had received quite a bit of money from Darklord in reality and was about to go out and have a good time at the bar.
Suddenly he received a message from Darklord and logged in somewhat impatiently.
After all, when Darklord bought him with a lot of money, besides asking him to frame John, he also asked him to be on standby at all times and to help him out whenever Darklord was in trouble.
SoulSong was a very talented player.
Although he spent half his time in real life going in and out of various bars and clubs, this did not hinder his leveling up and getting stronger.
At this point, he was already at level 40, and was the top fighter in Darklord's guild.
Darklord was slightly relieved when he saw SoulSong appear before him.
He said, "You know, don't you? I've spent quite a bit of money to buy this legendary item."
SoulSong looked at the parchment in Darklord's hand, and a barely noticeable greed flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly withdrew this greed and asked Darklord, "I know. I also know that Blue Sea and Adam are both looking for you."
Darklord kept nodding, asking, "SoulSong, you're also a famous top player in the gaming world. Do you think it's possible to cooperate with Blue Sea and Adam?"
SoulSong thought for a moment and said, "Blue Sea is fine, he is trustworthy. It's better not to work with Adam; he only cares about profits."
Then he added, "But if Blue Sea is leading this and wants to cooperate with you, then it is feasible. To my knowledge, Blue Sea wouldn't stab someone in the back."
"But..."
Darklord quickly asked, "But what?"
SoulSong's expression became extremely intriguing, and he smiled slightly, saying, "But this Blue Sea, he has a good relationship with 'Galewind'."
