Inside Overwhelming Smile's Guild Leader's Office...
Some time after Youlan's departure, Laughing Heaven still struggled with accepting the situation.
He could not understand why Black Flame, the Guild Leader of Zero Wing, would go all the way to Dragon Ridge to ambush Overwhelming Smile's members.
Who was Black Flame?
He was Star-Moon Kingdom's publicly acknowledged number one expert. He was someone capable of coming and going as he wished even when surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies. Laughing Heaven had even heard tell that two of Underworld's prided Seven Ghosts had died at the hands of Black Flame, leaving Underworld helpless against Zero Wing. In the end, even Underworld could do nothing but forbear from dealing with Zero Wing. This alone spoke of Black Flame's power.
"Shit!" Laughing Heaven suddenly recalled a situation.
There was a rumor going around saying that Black Flame was capable of preventing the players he killed from logging into God's Domain for a long period. However, Laughing Heaven knew that this rumor was true, as after Black Flame killed Underworld's Fifth Ghost and Sixth Ghost, the two were unable to log into the game for two full days. Laughing Heaven also knew that, back in the Watch Cemetery in the White River City Region, Black Flame had single-handedly forced Underworld to withdraw from that land of treasures.
If what Youlan said was true, then the Overwhelming Smile members in Dragon Ridge vying for revenge were no different than sheep to the slaughter. Moreover, it was currently night in God's Domain. Every Guild member capable of leveling up at night was an elite player. If these people were annihilated and barred from entering the game for two days...
Laughing Heaven immediately tried to contact War Wolf, hoping his team of experts could pin down Black Flame. With their strength, they should be able to deal with this matter without much difficulty. Afterward, he only needed to withdraw his Guild members from Dragon Ridge.
"Did he log off?" When Laughing Heaven opened his friends list, he suddenly discovered that War Wolf and the other experts were offline. "That shouldn't be right. I heard that War Wolf was planning to raid a Dragonmen's Nest today; why would they log off so soon?
"It can't be?!" Laughing Heaven abruptly thought of an extremely unlikely possibility. "How could this be? Did Black Flame kill all eight of those top-tier experts?!"
However, when he recalled Youlan's sudden appearance in his office, it was highly possible that War Wolf had contacted Youlan after he died.
"This won't do. I need to call back everyone immediately!" When Laughing Heaven thought about the massacre of Overwhelming Smile's members, rage and frustration filled his heart. However, who else could possibly win against this one-man army?
Shortly after, Laughing Heaven sent a command to all Overwhelming Smile members in Dragon Ridge, ordering them to either head to other locations to level up or return to the city to rest. In any case, the monsters at night were not easy to deal with. They could also accumulate Double EXP buff if they rested in the Guild Residence.
"What's going on? Why are we being told to leave Dragon Ridge? I'm only a short distance from the treasure chest!"
"That's right! Our team is still looking for that little thief that dared ambush us! If we withdraw like this, won't we let that bastard get away?"
"Who knows? However, this is a command from the Guild Leader, so we have no choice."
The members of Overwhelming Smile were somewhat dissatisfied with Laughing Heaven's command. However, as it was a command from the Guild Leader himself, they could not disobey.
