Proof of Betrayal

Having finished customizing her character, Della immediately checked the player ranking list. Her face went cold as she saw that the guild leader she used to fight with was actually ranked number one without shifting an inch. Not just ranked in level and strength, that person also ranked at the top in several other categories. That person was enjoying the luxury of suppressing the weak people in his guild. And those who were with him were no worse off for keeping quiet for the same benefits.

When Della clicked on the description of the number one player, her eyes bugged out in surprise as she saw that the person had managed to accumulate so many titles in such a short period. All of those titles were super-rare titles that could only be obtained from performing extremely difficult missions. With the attributes, the person was wearing and the number of titles he had, Della couldn't help but accept the fact that the person seemed to have grown stronger when she started all over again.

With that obvious difference in strength, no matter how good Della was at playing the game, it seemed that she still wouldn't be able to directly defeat such a great person. That person could stay at rank one when Della knew this game had no shortage of strong players. His strength must be really great. They didn't meet for a few weeks now, so Della didn't know that that person had continued to grow stronger before deciding to throw her away.

However, everything was still fine for her.

Della came up with a plan that was even more sinister than just beating that person up. Right now, Della still didn't even know who suggested to kicked her out and what the real cause of that unilateral decision was. Della only knew that only the guild master could kick out a guild member. That man was indeed her main target for now. But that didn't mean Della would forgive the guild itself and the people involved in it.

Not only did they continue to take it easy on other players, but such a devious guild had also instilled a greedy attitude in its members. They constantly stole other guilds' dungeons. They weren't a clean guild anymore. So it would be better if Della could also destroy such evil guilds for the good of other players.

Even more saddeningly, Della couldn't believe that there were still many people who were eyeing the vacant positions in that guild every single day. They were even willing to pay a high price just so they could explore the high-quality dungeons that were currently controlled by Guild Domination.

Della was about to close the world chat when it started to move on to another topic. It was the third day since she had opened the game again. People, however, still seemed content to talk about her old character.

[Snow: I haven't been online since yesterday and I'm behind on the latest news. I looked at the previous player list and didn't see Xena on the ranking list anymore. She's such a strong player. Why did she suddenly disappear from the ranking list?]

Xena is Della's previous character name. Della normally wouldn't care much about the world chat because she had to make the most of her playing time. But unbeknownst to Della, it turned out that people were also paying attention to her because she had powers in the past.

So, the excuse that no one accepted her because of her ability shouldn't be acceptable. Della frowned as she was suddenly interested in continuing to observe the developments in the world conversation.

[Imaking: Ah, you've missed a big event. Seeing that she suddenly disappeared from the ranking list and the friend list, Xena seems to have completely deleted her game account now. We can't blame her. She has offended the entire guild at one time.]

[Snow: Ah? How could she offend everyone in the guild at one time? Isn't she one of the core members who joined since the beginning of the game? So far, the relationship between the core members can be fairly good, right?]

[Imaking: Geez, you're really behind the times these days. From now on, read carefully the explanation I'm about to give about that horrendous event. A while ago, a new member complained about how high the guild dues were every week. And as it turned out, the high dues had been proposed and managed by Xena as the guild treasurer. The guild leader and the others couldn't forbid it because they had been comrades-in-arms since the guild was just established. But when reports that the dues had gone too far, the guild leader was finally forced to expel Xena from the guild. In my opinion, they were still pretty good at handling members who defamed the guild like Xena. They didn't judge Xena like other guilds usually do. They just expelled her. But, Xena was probably afraid of the public outcry, so she decided to delete her game account once and for all.]

[Snow: Ah... So that's exactly what happened. To be honest, I also feel that Guild Domination's dues are starting to make no sense anymore. No wonder she's been so powerful all this time. Who knew she would abuse her position to do that kind of thing?]

[Imaking: I think so too. Now that he's gone, let's hope that he'll never dare to show his face in this game again.]

[Snow: Yes. Guild Domination will shine again with her gone.]

Della's head seemed to be tingling as she read through the conversation without saying anything. She was indeed the treasurer of the guild. But she was one of the core members who had suggested that the membership dues be lowered so as not to burden anyone anymore. But no matter how many times Della tried to bring up this urgent topic, her friends kept insisting that she raise the dues even more. They reasoned that things would be chaotic if they didn't set a high price for new members. They had to make sure all members would be loyal to their guild, to avoid future acts of treason.

Della's remarks were always dismissed by them. Yet when others started questioning their decisions, everyone turned around to blame everything on her alone.

Della smiled sarcastically, as she organized all the clues into one answer.

Now everything made sense. Why the guildmates blocked her, why people rejected her, everything suddenly made sense now.

She... Had been used as a scapegoat to clear her friends' names at this moment.

"Ahahaha..."

Della laughed softly. The girl laughed for a while before the sound of her laughter suddenly disappeared.

That was fine. She had already set her goals with more certainty this time.

In the future, no matter what, Della promised to be serious about bringing destruction to the rotten guild.
