Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 404 - Occult Titan

Back in the Fallen Angel guild headquarters, the Undead Thief was reporting back to Plenty after reviving.

“Boss, I was walking up to greet him, but then he suddenly rushed up and killed me…” the Undead Thief tried to air his grievances. But after noticing Plenty’s cold glare, he shut his mouth halfway.

“Did you follow my instructions and switch your alignment over to the Righteous Faction before approaching him?” Plenty asked in a solemn tone.

The Undead Thief lowered his head. He screwed up. Since he was only instructed to guide Nie Yan to the nearest village and nothing else, he didn’t realize the importance of this matter. He took it as simply another trivial task!

“Leave all your equipment behind. You’re out of the guild,” Plenty coldly stated.

“Why!?” The Undead Thief stared at Plenty, unwillingness in eyes. Why was he being kicked out for such a small blunder?

“I don’t care how skilled you are. I don’t want subordinates who can’t even follow simple instructions!” Plenty replied.

The Undead Thief’s expression sank. He knew Plenty wouldn’t change his mind on this matter.

Plenty attached a lot of importance to the trade agreement with Nie Yan, so much so that he didn’t even disclose it to his closest friends. For every additional person in on it, the risk of danger increased exponentially. Aside from him, the only other person who knew about this deal was Proud Warlance. Since the two of them were busy, he had sent someone over to escort Nie Yan to the nearest village so he could personally complete the transaction there himself. But the Undead Thief’s self-conceit had possibly put his partnership with Nie Yan in jeopardy!

「Nirvana Flame is already here in the Underworld. Come make a trip with me,」Plenty sent Warlance a message.

「Right now? I’m in the middle of...」Warlance hesitated. Right now, Fallen Angel was in a heated conflict with six other guilds. He was loaded with work.

「It’s fine, I’ll take care of it. Nirvana Flame takes priority. If the trade goes smoothly, it’ll be of great help to us. Take 350,000 gold with you and get the equipment from him. We can take our time with the war.」

「Alright,」Warlance replied. He returned to the guild headquarters and took the ring that allowed him to temporarily switch his faction alignment from Plenty.

Nie Yan continued to wait by the ruins of the stone tower. About 20 minutes later, a silhouette appeared in the distance.

Nie Yan approached the figure while in stealth and saw a familiar face, Proud Warlance.

Seeing that Warlance had already switched his alignment over to the Righteous Faction, Nie Yan emerged out of stealth.

“That player earlier, what was that all about?” Nie Yan asked with a frown. He felt Fallen Angel was behaving too carelessly.

“My apologies. A mishap occurred. The offender has already been expelled from the guild. No need to worry. Aside from the guild leader and me, no one else in Fallen Angel knows about this deal. That Undead Thief got careless in his ignorance,” Warlance explained.

Nie Yan nodded, glad that Fallen Angel didn’t take this trade agreement lightly. If he had learned that they failed to implement proper safeguards to keep their alliance a secret, he would’ve immediately abandoned them and looked for a new collaborative partner.

“Did you bring the equipment?”

“Of course.”

Nie Yan requested a trade and placed all the equipment inside the window.
