Gou Dan wasn't deliberately giving Edward a half-hearted reply.
After all, being a war reporter, he enjoyed writing a huge chunk of text during quests and post it on the forum, only to have other Players would comment 'TLDR (too long, didn't read)' beneath it.
In other words, he really wasn't free at the moment.
Since almost twenty people were now chasing him down to kill him.
"We really run into them everywhere…" Gou Dan was leaping from tree to tree, but couldn't resist turning to look at the words hovering above his pursuers' heads.
They are from the Secret Eye Society.
"Tch. Fight me one by one if you have the balls! No gentleman lynches!"
As a matter of fact, Gou Dan really wouldn't worry about those Secret Eye Society members individually, who were at best Level 30.
But there's no way he could survive against all of them.
