Chapter 64: Resistance

*Pfft* "Hahaha…"

Wil broke out into laughter all of a sudden and clapped twice, attracting the surroundings for a while.

"Did he go crazy or something?" As Cericia looked at him with a doubtful gaze, Wil turned around and continued to laugh, "Silver, take her wherever she wants to go and protect her. I'll take a taxi to go home."

Wil left her alone at the airport with Silver while laughing.

As he sat inside the cab, he looked outside and laughs for one last time before thinking, "I really feel like a fool to drop the exploration in the middle and gave importance to fake guests. Looks like I spent a million credits on that A-grade capsule for nothing.

But, then again, it's indeed a good thing. From now on, I don't need to pretend to take care of her. Even if I don't do anything, she'll manage everything by herself. Not to mention, she doesn't have any interest in marrying me. It's just the thoughts of those two old men.

Hmm, I'm suddenly craving for some takoyaki."

"Uhh… Excuse me, go to Manchong Street, please," spoke Wil to the taxi driver.

"Huh?" the Driver looked at him, "but that's far away."

"So, are you out of petrol or something?" Wil suddenly dropped formalities and then said, "If I say to go, then, just go."

The Driver replied calmly, "It's already 8 p.m., now. I'll be out of duty after 9, young man. It'll take nearly two hours from here with traffic. And I need to return too…"

Wil replied, "Go to Manchong Street and then drop me at Sarton Street. I don't lack Money but lack patience to look for another cab. I'll pay you double the amount. If it isn't enough, I'll pay triple. Just go..."

Thinking he is some rude rich kid who doesn't like to listen and understand, the driver sighed, "it's fine. I'll charge the usual amount" and stepped on the accelerator.

Three hours later, 

After eating full, Wil patted his stomach, "I should really say no matter how classy and expensive the dishes are at those high-class restaurants, they can't give this kind of satisfaction these cheap street foods give."

Meanwhile, the driver was talking to his daughter, "c'mon, baby. Dad will be late, tonight. Sleep, right now, okay. You have school tomorrow…"

After disconnecting the call, the driver sighed and let out a breath, "It's cold. How long this kid will take to eat. Most of the shops are already closing…"

Then, he saw Wil was returning with five to six packages and a couple of Beer cans in hands.

75 minutes later, they reached Scarlet Apartments.

Looking at the Apartments from outside the gate, the driver thought, "No wonder this rude kid was able to say so easily that he can pay double."

After the cab stopped before C-block, Wil asked, "How much is it?"

The Driver clicked a button and the number displayed on the screen. "398 Yuan"

Wil spoke, "I'll pay in credits. Tell me your bank acc number."

"Ok, done."

Looking at the message from the bank, the driver was taken aback, "Huh? Excuse me, young man; you paid Four hundred Yuan more. It's only 2000 Credits. 1 Yuan is only 5 Credits."

Wil stepped out of the cab, empty-handed, and replied with a smile, "Let's think of it as an additional charge for driving in your off-duty time. Oh, by the way, there are food and drinks in the backseat. Consider it as a thank you treat from me."

By the time driver came to his senses, Wil already entered the elevator and disappeared from his view.

As soon as he entered the apartment, Wil directly went to his bedroom and collapsed on the bed without even removing the shoes.

*Welcome to War Online*

The next day, at 9:15 in the morning, Wil logged in the game and found himself in the same guest room of Imperial palace.

As usual, after finding out Aster is online, he sent a message to him to hear the details of the things he missed out.

Time Traveler: Aster, any news that I need to hear?

Shadow Blade: Good morning, Young master; I apologize for not realizing that you are online.

Time Traveler: It's fine. Get to the details.

Shadow Blade: Young master, first, our Silvershapers guild opened branches in three cities. Mountain Rock is thinking of opening them in all cities of the kingdom. For that, we need to buy another 100 gold.

Shadow Blade: Secondly, because of that Lu Heibei's bounty, I was being ambushed quite a few times but none was successful so far.

Shadow Blade: And, of the nine guilds that broke alliance with us unofficially, two of them contacted me as if there's nothing wrong but the remaining seven combined with another two guilds that we rejected, formed an alliance named Resistance after the Kingdom rankings were refreshed. The name is directly opposite to our own eight guild alliance, "the Imperials." 

Shadow Blade: This means, they are formally challenging our authority. It won't be long before huge-scale clashes will happen in the wild zones between the guilds.

Reading the messages, Wil mumbled, "our alliance even have a name? The name's indeed domineering. I did expect another faction to rise but didn't expect they did decide to go against me. I don't like having enemy rivals that meddle in my business."

Then, he sent a message to Aster.

Time Traveler: Who is the leader of this Resistance?

Shadow Blade: According to our spies, there's no one yet but I heard the one who gathered everyone is Little Seven, the leader of Redwings. 

Shadow Blade: Oh, by the way, this isn't too important but you need to hear. Someone bought all the land available in the city. Their identity is unknown. But, Dreamwalkers' branch manager texted Mountain Rock that he was willing to lend 5 plots as a proof of friendship. 

"I see… They were the ones who took the remaining lands and stores.

Time Traveler: Tell them we are thankful but we don't need their help. That unknown guy who bought everything is your Young master. Tell Mountain Rock that everything will be solved in a couple of days. Be silent for the next few days.

Aster was taken aback in a surprise after reading the message. He smiled as he thought, "Young master is always one step ahead."

While Wil was busy conversing with Aster, the door was knocked 

*Ding. A messenger is asking your permission to enter.

As Wil pressed Ok, a soldier entered his room and greeted him with a bow, "Greetings Lord Viscount. You were summoned by Lord Raziel."

Wil nodded and followed him while wondering why.

As he was taken to an inner palace, Wil saw there were a lot of Royal-Knights of which the lowest is level-200. As he entered Raziel's room, he saw there's a high-level General standing before him.

Gerrad Beves

Level: 297

Description: A general of Llyne Kingdom. He was born a commoner and has a hardworking personality. He hates Nobles.

Not much info was given about him and Wil wouldn't care even if he has a background story as his entire attention is on this Archangel before him.

Looking at him, Raziel spoke, "I will come to the matter directly. I heard you caught a pet inside the hidden realm. Can I see it?"

"Eh? Strix?"
