Chapter 86 Chapter85-"The Mysterious One\'s" Identity
Blue Sea and Adam led a group of people to the entrance of Dawn Breeze Auction House.
Suddenly, Blue Sea stopped in his tracks.
The player personnels in charge of hosting at Dawn Breeze Auction House had already greeted them.
But they were waved away by Blue Sea, indicating they should stand back for a moment.
"What\'s up? We\'re at the entrance, why aren\'t we going in?"
Blue Sea responded nonchalantly, "I spotted two friends, I\'ll go say hi."
He walked straight up to Emma and White Feather.
With a warm smile, he greeted, "Miss Emma, we meet again."
Emma had initially been looking down, fussing over her clothes, preparing to look her best when meeting John.
At the sound of his voice, she hastily lifted her head, and was greeted by a somewhat familiar face.
Emma pondered for a moment before realizing who it was.
"Isn\'t that the Leader of the Blue Sea Guild whom Johnny introduced me to before?" She responded with a smile, "Ah, it\'s Leader Blue Sea."
Blue Sea\'s smile remained intact, "I saw you two standing at the door for quite a while. Are you waiting for someone?"
Emma nodded, "Yes, we are waiting for Johnny here."
The mention of Johnny brightened Blue Sea\'s eyes, "Galewind? He\'s attending the auction personally?"
Emma kept nodding her head, "He\'ll be here, any moment now."
At this point, Blue Sea seemed in no hurry to enter the auction house and stood a short distance away from Emma, "Then I\'ll keep you company while waiting."
Adam, standing nearby, was a bit flabbergasted.
He approached Blue Sea, frowning, "Blue Sea, what\'s the game here?"
As he spoke, he discreetly looked Emma over.
Indeed, she was an incredibly attractive woman, but surely not attractive enough to warrant this treatment from Blue Sea.
Adam was silently guessing at Emma\'s identity.
Blue Sea gave a slight smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Emma, a friend\'s companion."
He then pointed to Adam, introducing him to Emma, "This is Adam, the Leader of the Genesis Guild. You must have heard his name."
Emma, cluelessly, nodded her head.
In truth, she had no idea who Adam was, but didn\'t ask out of courtesy.
On the contrary, White Feather was well aware of the identities of these two men.
At this moment, she felt dizzy, as if she were dreaming.
These two were the leaders of two of the top ten guilds in the world, with supremely prestigious statuses.
They\'d actually come over to greet Emma?
White Feather\'s lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief.
On the other hand, Emma was casually introducing White Feather to Blue Sea, "This is my good friend White Feather, a Priest player from Silver Church..."
Blue Sea and Adam gave a friendly nod to White Feather, startling her into hurriedly bowing to the two leaders.
Subsequently, White Feather pulled Emma aside, "Tell me, since when did you start knowing such big shots? Don\'t tell me you\'re also some secret bigshot posing as a newbie?"
Emma responded with a bewildered expression, "What are you talking about? I don\'t know them. But the Blue Sea Guild Leader, he seems to have a good relationship with Johnny. I even saw them planning an exploration of some secret dungeon together last time."
White Feather was dumbfounded.
She\'d always known that Johnny was very strong and mysterious, possibly a big shot.
But it seems her guesses were too conservative.
Judging by Blue Sea\'s attitude towards Emma, Johnny was definitely not a simple character.
Not just White Feather, the other players passing by were even more stunned.
What\'s going on? The leaders of two of the world\'s top ten guilds were voluntarily chatting with two girls?
And by their demeanour, this wasn\'t their first meeting.
The bystanders became extremely curious about Emma and White Feather\'s identities and began to guess.
Moments later, Emma, who was still standing in a daze, suddenly beamed and started waving frantically, shouting, "Johnny, I\'m over here."
John emerged from the crowd and slowly made his way over.
Emma immediately grabbed John\'s hand and cooed, "Johnny, you\'re finally here. I\'ve been waiting for you for so long."
A fond smile spread across John\'s face as he gently ruffled Emma\'s hair, "Sorry, I was doing a little task, and it took a bit longer."
"Which boss-level beast fell victim to Galewind\'s might this time?" Blue Sea\'s teasing voice rang from the side.
John nodded to Blue Sea and laughed, "You\'re overdoing it. I just went to collect some Essence Blood from the Abyssal Serpent, didn\'t even kill it."
Blue Sea was rendered speechless.
The Abyssal Serpent?
That was a lord-level boss in the hundreds level.
From John\'s tone, it seemed as effortless as stepping on an ant on the roadside.
John then greeted White Feather with a smile, "Miss White, thank you for taking care of Emma these past few days."
White Feather waved a bit nervously, "No need for thanks, we just leveled up by fighting monsters together."
She then continued, "Galewind, we has produced another batch of Silver Tear. Do you need more?"
John nodded, "Absolutely, I said I\'d take as many as you have. Let\'s trade after the auction."
White Feather obediently nodded.
At this moment, Blue Sea wore a peculiar expression, "Wait, is the Silver Tear you\'re talking about the same one that was auctioned off recently?"
Before John could answer, White Feather responded with reverence, "The ones we produced are just regular Silver Tears. The high-level ones are all made by Galewind."
John sighed and touched his forehead.
His secret was out.
As expected, Blue Sea\'s expression grew increasingly odd.
He pointed at John and said with some embarrassment, "So, you made those things?"
The thought of his past flaunting of the Silver Tear in front of John made Blue Sea want to dig a hole and hide in it.
John glanced at Blue Sea, emotionless, "So what? You\'ve used it. Don\'t tell me you want a refund now?"
Blue Sea fumed, "No, why didn\'t you say earlier that you made it? I treated it like some precious commodity and spent so much on the auction."
John patted Blue Sea\'s shoulder, his voice serious, "Tell me, isn\'t the Silver Tear worth the price?"
Blue Sea thought for a moment, indeed, it seemed so.
Just the effect of the Silver Tear against undead creatures alone determined its value.
John cracked a smile, "From now on, I\'ll give you a discount whenever you buy this kind of item."
Blue Sea\'s face lit up with a satisfied grin.
That\'s exactly what he wanted.
Throughout their conversation, Adam had been silently observing.
The shock in his heart was like waves, each one higher than the last.
Finally, he couldn\'t help but ask, "Blue Sea, who is this gentleman?"
Blue Sea wore a strange smile as he introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is the one and only Galewind you\'ve been eager to meet, the star of the night."
"The two legendary equip that shocked the entire server, they were his contributions."
"I just found out today too, the Silver Tear that we all fought over at the last auction was also his creation."
Adam\'s mouth fell open, his face full of disbelief.
As the high-ranking leader of the Genesis Guild, it had been many years since he last wore such an astonished expression.
Ever since he became the leader of the Genesis Guild, he was usually as calm as a still lake, nonchalant no matter what occurred.
It was as though he\'d keep his cool even if a mountain were collapsing in front of him.
But right now, he couldn\'t maintain that previous composed demeanor.
He hurriedly greeted John, "So you\'re the mysterious expert Blue Sea has been talking about. I\'ve heard a lot about you."
Though John and Adam had never crossed paths, he was not a stranger to him.
Seeing Adam taking the initiative, John also responded politely, "I\'m not as impressive as Blue Sea makes me out to be, just a friend who plays the game."
Adam\'s smile was friendly as he shook John\'s hand, "You\'re being too modest. I\'ve heard all about you from Blue Sea. You\'re practically a legend."
At this point, Blue Sea also came over, laughing as he teased, "Galewind, Adam was just saying to me that after the auction, he\'d like to host a gathering and have a proper chat with you."
John replied indifferently, "Let\'s discuss it after the auction."
While Adam wished to recruit a powerful individual like John, he knew that rushing things wasn\'t a wise move.
The most crucial matter at hand was still the auction.
So, he nodded in agreement, "Indeed, let\'s talk after the auction ends."
Finally, the group turned to enter the Dawn Breeze Auction House.
As they walked in, it was John who led the way.
Both Blue Sea and Adam purposely trailed half a step behind, showing respect to John.
This scene deeply imprinted in the minds of all the players present.
For a moment, whispers fluttered around the bystander players.
"My god, am I seeing things? Are guild leaders Blue Sea and Adam really following behind someone else?"
"Who exactly is this mysterious one, making two guild leaders from the global top ten willingly play second fiddle?"
"Could this be the legendary leader of the Travelers?"
"Don\'t make wild guesses. Even if it was the leader of the Travelers, it\'s unlikely that Adam and Blue Sea would show such reverence!"
