Sniping Huang Shaotian!

Ye Du Hantan was inwardly cursing. Of course, he wanted to chop the two people in front of him into pieces, but he couldn't win the fight now, so he had to back down. After all, he was fully equipped with the highest-level orange gear, and the orange weapon in his hand was precious. It was also a crucial item for securing the dungeon record. If he didn't back down and got killed, losing the weapon, who could he complain to?

"Great gods, I don't think we had any previous conflicts. If you're looking for Lord Grim, I happen to have his location information. I can give it to you," Ye Du Hantan said humbly.

"Let's hear it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Du Hantan saw a glimmer of hope. He quickly obtained the information from his subordinates and relayed it to Liu Hao.

After giving the information, Ye Du Hantan thought the two great gods in front of him would let him go. Still, to his surprise, Grieveing Hazeu once again raised his butcher's knife against him after receiving the intel, pressing the cold gun barrel against his forehead.

"Great god, why? Didn't I just give you information on Lord Grim?"

Liu Hao chuckled, "When did I ever say we had a deal?"

"You!" Ye Du Hantan was momentarily speechless. Reflecting, he realised that Grieveing Haze, indeed, hadn't said anything about making a deal; it was he who had proactively offered the information.

"And who said there's a misunderstanding between us? Do you know why I'm targeting your Tyrannical Ambitions?"

Ye Du Hantan shook his head.

"Because your people stole an orange weapon from a girl, and I was hired as muscle by that girl! I couldn't find the culprits, so I'm taking it out on your Tyrannical Ambitions," Liu Hao said calmly.

Ye Du Hantan was on the verge of collapse. What kind of situation was this? It turned out that his subordinates had done something terrible. Why did they have to steal the girl's orange weapon? Not only was it unethical, but it also brought this whole mess!

Now, after taking a bunch of orange weapons, the girl hired some muscle, who ended up blowing up a lot of their high-level equipment. Tyranny Guild had suffered heavy losses. Initially, the Jia Dynasty was eager to push tyranny out of the top three guilds. Now, with this mess, Tyranny had fallen far behind.

"How about this? I'll get the weapon that was stolen from the girl and give it to you, and you return the equipment that was just blown up," Ye Du Hantan suggested.

Liu Hao rolled his eyes, "What do you think?"

Ye Du Hantan's mouth twitched. Clearly, such an unequal deal would only be accepted by someone with brain damage. The other party was obviously not brain-damaged, but now it seemed like he, who proposed the deal, was a bit brain-damaged.

"Why waste so many words on him?" Sun Xiang was losing patience and raised his weapon to take action.

Ye Du Hantan panicked and quickly tried to stop him. "Great god, don't! How about this: I'll go back, find the weapon, and bring it to you. Just don't kill me, okay?"

Liu Hao smiled and refused, "No, what if you don't come back? Or worse, bring more people to kill us?"

Ye Du Hantan was on the verge of tears, "How could I dare? You just saw it yourself; even our guild's twenty-plus elites weren't a match for you two!"

Liu Hao thought he had a point, but this trouble couldn't go unpunished. "How about this: when you go back, bring the stolen weapon and three pieces of orange gear for a trade, and we'll call it even."

Ye Du Hantan immediately objected, "No way! You've killed so many of our people, blowing up more than twenty pieces of equipment, ten of which were orange gear! You're not returning our gear, and now you want more? Isn't that a bit... too shameless?"

Even Sun Xiang thought Liu Hao was shameless, but he said nothing.

Liu Hao smiled, "Calling me shameless? Then, I'll add two more pieces of orange gear. If you disagree, I'll hunt down your Tyranny members every day. I'm quite free, after all."

Ye Du Hantan panicked and glanced at Grieving Haze's level, which was 27, clearly in the top tier of the Tenth Server's level rankings. He wasn't just some casual player.

In reality, Liu Hao had given the account card to the guild for levelling, as the guild was a professional power-levelling service. The reason for demanding equipment from Tyranny was to weaken their strength, paving the way for Jia Dynasty to ascend among the top three guilds.

Ye Du Hantan pondered for a moment and realised that offending a great god was not an option. If Grieving Haze and Hateful Sword kept harassing Tyranny, they would suffer heavy casualties and lose their competitive edge against Blue Brook Guild and Herb Garden.

After much thought, Ye Du Hantan sighed, "Alright, I agree. But I hope the great gods will keep their word."

"Of course, we'll even give you a gift," Liu Hao said.

"A gift? Are you giving us back a piece of orange gear?"

"Of course not. We worked hard to get that gear; why would we give it back to you?" Liu Hao replied.

Ye Du Hantan almost spat blood.

"The gift is actually Lord Grim's head. Aren't you hunting him down? I can help you kill him once!" Liu Hao said softly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Du Hantan was stunned. Though Grieving Haze's voice was low, it was as loud as a thunderclap to his ears.

He had witnessed Lord Grim's strength firsthand. His speed and reactions were astonishing, and his awareness far surpassed his own. He was an unbeatable presence. But now, a Spitfire suddenly claimed he could kill Lord Grim, a message as shocking as a billion-volt lightning bolt.

Ye Du Hantan thought that trading five pieces of orange gear for one kill of Lord Grim might be worth it, just to curb that scoundrel's arrogance. Moreover, the nine significant guilds were currently united in hunting down Lord Grim, so he could claim that he had hired two great god-level assassins to kill Lord Grim, and the other guilds might help make up for his losses.

Thus, Ye Du Hantan agreed to the terms and quickly returned to the guild to collect the orange gear and the girl's stolen orange weapon. Tyrannical Ambitions, known for its efficiency, found the player who had dropped Steamed Bun Invasion's heavy cannon within minutes, made him hand it over, and sent it to Grieving Haze's account by mail.

After receiving the gear, Liu Hao immediately sent it to Jia Dynasty's warehouse.

"Now, let's go hunt Ye Qiu!" Liu Hao said with a smile.

"I've been looking forward to this," Sun Xiang said, eager to start.

Liu Hao then looked at Su Mucheng and asked, "How about it? Do you want to join us?"

Su Mucheng hesitated. She didn't want to agree. If it were in a match against Ye Qiu, she would give it her all out of professional responsibility. But sniping Ye Qiu, sniping the character her brother had once created, Lord Grim, in an online game, was something she found hard to do.

Seeing Su Mucheng's silence, Liu Hao reminded her, "Actually, we might also run into Huang Shaotian. Our next match is against Blue Rain, and they're a tough opponent. If you don't want to kill Ye Qiu, you can kill Huang Shaotian!"
