Chapter 69: Invitation to Lunch

As Wil started to think whether the Resistance finally decided to take action and ambushed Flame Emperor and Snow Dew, he received a quick reply. 

Snow Dew: A level -130 Heroic wild boss got mutated in the middle of battle. It only has 12% HP left. Not sure, we can hold out for a very long time. 

"Oh, it's just a monster, huh. If it's a level-130 mob and is mutated, then its maximum HP will increase to 36 million, the same as a level-160 Heroic mob. The same goes for its abilities.

No wonder, they are asking help. If both of them died and no one attacks in 30 minutes, then, it will reset.

Time Traveler: I'm currently stuck here. So, I can't come but I'll send Remia and other guardians as your back up. Send me the coordinates. And only focus on defense and dodging. Nothing else… 

*

Using the contracts, Wil sent the message to Remia and the other four guards to go to the coordinates he received from Snow Dew.

After the matter is done, Wil continued to read the arguments between both sides. Soon, he got bored with it. So, he changed to Kingdom forums where all the players of Llyne Kingdom can read and post.

This section was mostly filled with players who belong to the capital city. Everyone was having a discussion about the unofficial event that a hundred member NPC army were on some kind of expedition in the new wild zone.

Although a lot of players started following them, because of their low level, they weren't able to follow for too long as the Army didn't have any intentions of helping them out.

Some players tried to force them to fend off the monsters that were attacking them but they were killed by NPCs along with the monsters.

After that, many of them backed off while only a few skilled assassins were able to follow them successively until the end.

As for Angel race players, none were able to follow them from the sky before the presence of monsters flying in the sky in all range of altitudes.

Meanwhile, only Rigel thought the matter might have something to do with Wil as it isn't a coincidence that he went into the palace two days ago. Then, became number one in Kingdom rankings after going into the new wild zone with ten NPCs. Now, just one day later, the King sent an army to a level-200 zone.

After thinking for a long time, Rigel put aside the humiliation he faced and tried to contact Time Traveler for another friendly discussion. But, he didn't expect that Aster and most of the boys in Scarlet were offline and taking a break upon Wil's order.

As for contacting Mountain Rock or Fiery Snake, it's useless since they never contacted their boss directly. Aster was the mediator between Wil and everyone.

Without any other way, Rigel once again decided to consult his leader.

After another 8 and a half hours passed, Wil finally heard notification sound while he glowed for a second. 

*Ding. You leveled up.

"Finally..." Wil sighed, "It took almost an entire day for me to level up once."

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

He unlocked the door and opened to a soldier standing outside.

"Yes?"

He said, "Lord Time Traveler, You are being summoned by his majesty."

"The soldiers returned already?" thought Wil, "it shouldn't be this fast, right?" 

Wil said, "Sure, let's go."

"Um… forgive me for asking. Will you go dining room like this?" said the messenger.

"Eh? Dining room?" Wil was taken aback in a surprise upon hearing that he was being summoned to the dining room instead of the Courtroom.

With uncertainty in his tone, he asked, "Is his majesty summoned me to have lunch with him?"

The messenger nodded, "yes."

Wil then said, "okay... Give me 5 minutes. I'll change and come."

After closing and locking the door, Wil removed the equipment and changed the clothes after picking a luxurious looking one from the wardrobe as he didn't need to wash up or brush because the player's body is always fresh.

Looking in the mirror, Wil examined himself, "Hmm, I look very ordinary. As if I don't suit these clothes. Should I have not adjusted my face and body during the character creation?

No, that was necessary since my face might give away the relation between Scarlet Security and Vulture group.

This face should represent the Young master of Scarlet because my real face already represents the young master of the Vulture group.

Since both faces look only a little bit similar while body structure and age is different, most people will think I might be a cousin of myself instead of thinking that I adjusted my appearance.

Why? Because no young master of a Giant corporation would do that. Even if they do, they'll adjust it to become more handsome."

Looking at the mirror one more time, Wil commented, "Let's just avoid mirrors here. Yeah, let's do that."

Reaching the dining room with the messenger, Wil saw a long table that has at least a hundred chairs.

There are more than fifty dishes that spread all over from one end to another end of the table and twenty servants on standby while another twenty servants keep on bringing the dishes and arranging them on the table.

There isn't a feast or anything.

All of this is arranged for one person that is sitting at the end of the table.

No, two persons because Mirella suddenly decided to invite Wil while she was waiting.

Looking at him, Mirella smiled, "you came. Come, join me for lunch."

Wil thanked her and sit at the other end of the table just like how he used to eat with his dad at his home.

***

Meanwhile, at a certain convenience store, a female sat before Min while there is a closed sign outside. 

As she tried to convince him, Min replied with a stern tone, "I'm sorry. But, I'm a lone wolf. I'll remain as a mercenary no matter what. I won't join a guild not now, not ever. Please, you can leave…"

The young woman smiled as she stood up, "what's the hurry. You can think of our offer slowly. We'll meet tomorrow again."

"Whatever," snorted Min as he gestured her to get out.

As she exited the store and sat in the cab, she dialed a number, "Hello, Alex."

"Baby, I'm in a dungeon, right now. Just hold on for a while."

A few minutes later,

"Ok, tell me. Did you persuade Death King?" 

She replied with a darkened expression, "No. It looks like Min is adamant about staying as a mercenary."

"How about offer him double?" suggested Alex.

The girl replied, "I already did that. He refused to budge even when I tripled our offer. C'mon. How can someone reject a salary of Three hundred thousand dollars per month? That's three million credits.

Even my dad only had an annual salary of two million dollars."

Alex then joked, "Maybe, you should try seducing him."

The girl then replied with a flirtatious tone, "Hmm, that's not a bad idea. He looks cute. Totally my type."

"Hey…" shouted Alex.

"Hahaha, someone sure is jealous out there," The girl laughed and then said, "I'm just kidding. Jokes apart, I have another way to subdue him. I can use my dad's influence and arrest him. After booking him in several pending cases and putting him in jail, maybe, he'll listen?"

"First of all, don't try to ruin someone's life just because they don't listen to you. He isn't even our enemy. And secondly, Cherry, you are the daughter of a police chief, not some Mafia King. If things get out, you'll drag down your father's reputation. Eastern Continent is different from here. Don't ever do that…"

"Mafia?" The girl's eyes lit up, "Hey, I got another idea. Don't worry. He'll voluntarily join our guild."
