BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9: The Three Guild Alliances
But Michael didn’t immediately answered him as he wasn’t selling it but auctioning it, so just smiled, and it was also because he saw another two parties heading towards him, with their Wizards, already had graduated from their Basic Equipment.
And at the same time, he was also startled as he recognized a face behind Judgement.
’I can feel that lady luck is shining over me’ Michael grinned.
"Oi! How much are you selling it for!?" Judgements Call impatiently yelled at him, as he also felt angry from being ignored.
"Didn’t you hear the news? He’s not selling it but auctioning it, you dumbass!" a Hunter and a woman called Falling Moon laughed.
"It’s nothing new! Juggy has always been an impatient man!" a man, who is a Barbarian, called Storm Breaker laughed heartily!
When these three parties gathered together here in one location, it suddenly caused a ruckus around Michael’s surroundings.
"Holy! Aren’t they Judgement Fall, Falling Moon and Storm Breaker!? Holy cow, three gaming experts gathered in one place, what a news this is!"
"Tsk! Tsk! It’s clear that Judgement Fall is at a clear advantage here!"
"That’s true. After all, Falling Moon is a guild elder from War Angel and Storm Breaker also had the same position from War Temple, and both guilds are part of [Edyrem Alliance] while Judgement Fall from Black Skull is from the [Council of Elders]!"
"It would have been better if a guild from Alliance of Horadrim is here! It would have been an interesting sight to behold!"
Those small and medium size guilds that wanted to join the bidding immediately backed out as they didn’t want to make enemies on either of the three guilds, especially this early in the game. That doesn’t mean they are scared of them, because for them, it’s just a waste of time fighting battles this early in the game, which would just delay their game time, as the players only
has a ten hour limit of game time.
It was implemented by Mine Tech. to prevent players from getting too addicted to the game that they are already forgetting their lives in the real world.
*****
Micheal had read about these three guild alliance, consisting of three guilds earlier today from surfing the web.
Alliance of Horadrim member’s are the three guilds from Night Remnant, Wandering Souls and Merchant Society.
Council of Elders are the guilds from Black Skull, Illusionaire and the Kunlun Guild.
And the last a guild alliance [Edyrem Alliance] would be the War Angel Guild, War Temple and the War Dragons Guild.
The three guild alliances are rivals and are made up of the nine major guilds in the country, these guilds are the foundations of the US in the world of virtual gaming, especially in the VRMMO World Cup.
The US had already taken World Cup three times in a row, one from War Angel, and another from Black Skull and the recent one came from Night Remnant, the three alliance leaders.
’War Angel and Black Skull, aren’t they the gangs from earlier? Meh, they probably just had the same time name’ Michael thought, but it was hard for him to associate a gang from a gaming society, so he just shrugged it off.
Judgement Fall just glared at them, as he knew that picking a fight this early from these two guilds would result in losses, and the only fortunate thing for him is that his guild members is just as many as two rival guilds combined.
"How much-"
"It’s you! Bastard!"
Judgement Fall was about to ask Michael the item’s starting price when Jin suddenly interrupted him and pointed angrily at Michael.
"You know him?" Judgement Fall wasn’t angry from being interrupted and instead asked him.
"Of course! He’s the one who killed my men and stole the boss from us! I’m guessing that this Skill Book came from the Boss’s drops!" Jin snarled at Michael as his eyes are brimming with battle intent and revenge!
That sudden bomb ignited a huge commotion from the spectators, even the people from War Angel and War Temple was startled about the news, it’s not like they didn’t hear about the party of this Senator’s son from getting most of its members killed and with the boss stolen from under their noses, it was just that they didn’t expect that the person behind it is the man before them.
"Wow, this guy has some huge guts to do that!"
"Tsk! Tsk! This player is surely going to be hunted furiously hunted from now on"
’Interesting’ Fallen Moon thought as she noticed that this player called Shadow wasn’t even the least bit bothered about it, even when he already knew that they are members of Black Skull.
’What a guy, even though Jin is not an elder, he’s at least one of their top experts in the guild, and for this guy to even caused Jin to be helpless against him is already amazing. Shadow, were you just lucky or are you truly an expert, and a reclusive one at that?’ Storm Breaker started observing Michael, but the most confusing thing for him and the others is that they never heard of a gaming expert called Shadow.
Of course, it’s not like there weren’t any players that were called Shadow before, it’s just that they are either ordinary players or just casual players that never made a name for themselves.
"Are you guys going to start bidding or not? Starting price is $1000 and the price increase is $100!" Micheal immediately stated as he was already getting bored and annoyed by these people.
That expensive price shocked the spectators but those people from the three parties weren’t even surprise, because someone truly takes gaming seriously would see the true worth of the skill just based from the Skill description.
The skill had a 10 yards of area of effect or AOE, a 60% slow debuffed, and a cooldown of only 15 seconds. This skill is practically great for PVP, PVE, Game Competitions and most of all, Guild Wars!
So the price of the skill is reasonable for them!
"How arrogant! That item is supposed to be ours!" Jin yelled angrily, showing just how narrow minded he is!
"Shut up! If you can’t accept getting your ass kicked, then kill him next time!" Judgement Fall angrily yelled at him, as he felt embarrassed by his poor conduct.
Even though he’s also angry at the Michael for what he did to Jin and the others, he wasn’t like Jin that would just burst out in anger, as he at least knows that this isn’t the right time and place for this.
"But-"
"Shut your mouth, we didn’t come here to pick a fight, we came here to buy an item!" Judgement Fall is starting to feel frustrated about this asshole.
’Stupid idiot! I would’ve already kick you of the guild if you didn’t have even a bit of skill or if your father isn’t friends with my dad!’ Judgement Fall cursed inside.
"$1100!" like Michael, Fallen Moon just ignored them and she started the first bidding.
"$1200!" Storm Breaker followed.
"$1500!" Judgement Fall immediately followed while Jin hatefully glared at Micheal, and the one on the receiving end of that glare wasn’t even bothered.
"$2000!" Fallen Moon counter offered.
"$2500!"
"$3000!"
Storm Breaker and Judgement Fall both yelled at the same time.
"$4000!"
"$5000!"
"$6000!"
Fallen Moon and Judgement Fall started going on a bidding war, while Storm Breaker just watched them from the side.
"$10,000!" Fallen Moon yelled as she smiled towards Judgement Fall.
"Dammit!" Judgement Fall cursed, even though he’s family is freaking rich, he can’t just blindly continue this bidding. After all, the price is already too high and he didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a single skill book, and most of all, he doesn’t even know if this is Fallen Moon’s limit.
"It’s yours!"
"Oh my, thank you!"
Judgement Fall snorted as he turned around and led his party away, while Jin gave Michael one more glare.
