MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 82: Brothers



Dawnwatch, Corner of the Distro Street.

At the corner of a bustling street, a tall building stood out. It was a modern-looking house with sleek lines and reflective windows that shimmered in the sunlight.

It resembled quite a bit of real life's architecture, which was an oddity in the New World.

After all, this building was specially built by a real-life architect who was more familiar with real life's architecture. Thus, it stood out among the traditional New World structures with its unique design.

Currently, on the building's top floor, which was just one big room,.

"That's the report, sir."

A low-hooded figure said as he took back the stack of parchment papers.

Tap, tap, tap.

A towering figure impatiently tapped his finger against his knee. The silence in the room was deafening.

At that moment, the door opened, and another towering figure entered the room. Strangely, he was identical to the person who was seated at the end of the room.

"Brother." The chirpy-sounding man said this with a chuckle after entering the room. "How're the things~"

"Sigh, Arunn..." His brother rubbed his temples in annoyance. "While you were having fun with those wives of yours, I heard some interesting reports."

Arunn scratched his groin area and grinned. "Pleasure is a way to a long life. Anyway, what's the report, Aaron?"

Aaron nodded towards the low-hooded figure, allowing him to explain.

"Sir Arunn."

The low-hooded figure said and nodded before starting.

"The tenth floor was acquired by Crimson Hounds, just like we expected. From what we gathered, they sent their tenth team, led by young Knoxx."

"Is that all?" Arunn asked with a yawn.

"Just listen," Aaron said angrily.

"Ahem..." The low-hooded figure cleared his throat and continued:

"Apparently, Adam Palestar joined them and is currently on the tenth floor with them..." "What?" Arunn looked surprised. "That bastard Digby actually dared to send his golden boy to the dungeon? Anyone else would've kept him on a very tight leash and not allowed him to go anywhere without strong supervision."

"This is an excellent chance." Aaron interjected. "We all know that Crimson Hounds are where they currently are because of one person: Digby Chaucer.

"He is not only incredibly strong, but he also has strong backing as he is the son of one of the elders of the Imperium Palace.

"However, Digby has reached his limit. He has failed his Royal Prince test five times already. He won't advance anymore, and he'll only grow weaker as time goes by.

"Adam was like a light in the darkness for him. He finally has a proper successor in mind. If we take away that light and hope, he will never recover.

"It will just take a couple of years for Crimson Hounds to fall apart. This is a chance we have awaited for so long."

"So, we are sending our mercenaries to tenth floor." Arunn said, "Shall I accompany them? Just in case."

"No, you fool." Aaron pinched his glabella in annoyance. "We can't send our core forces. Digby is a master of Kiryoku; he'll immediately find out if we send anyone from Beyonder and above.

"We'll have to also send our bottom team. Their strength and aura are so low that they'll fly under Digby's and other powerhouses's radars.

"Another reason why we won't send our best fighters is because if the Mercenary Guild finds out, then the Council of Mercenaries finds out, and it will be only a matter of time before Digby's father finds out.

"We are not only losing all our hard-earned respect in the mercenary circle, we might be eliminated!"

"Yeah, I understand, but this is risky." Arunn said with a frown. "I heard Adam is a difficult opponent. He defeated that guy from the Crescent Serpents. It doesn't matter if he didn't go all-out; it was still an impressive feat.

"He is also an S-ranker. We can't afford to underestimate those monsters."

"I know, and I have already thought ahead."

Aaron said with a smirk and pulled out some kind of cubicle box. It looked like it was made out of branches, leaves, and vines twisted together.

"That's..." Arunn whispered in shock.

As Aaron opened it, a bright light enveloped the room. It was dazzling and bright.

Slowly, the light got sucked back inside the box, and there was a black ball with a fuse sticking out of it, lying on a soft cushion.

It looked like a bomb.

"You are giving this to them?" Arunn gulped. "A little overboard, no?"

"A last resort." Aaron said with a cold voice. "I am giving this to Rae. If she deems that the fight has been lost, she will use this to kill everyone."

"Even ours...?"

"We can always get more members if necessary." Aaron said. "The same cannot be said for Crimson Hounds. When a word goes out that they lost a S-ranker, who in the world would want to join them?

"They'll slowly dwindle and die~"

"One thing is bothering me." Arunn said. "Won't Adam just respawn after dying and just return to Crimson Hounds? He is only Mercenaryman, and he can start from scratch without

losing anything."

"S-rankers have egos the size of the moon," Aaron said with a laugh. "When he dies, he'll realize just how feeble he really is. He will want to get protection from much stronger guilds. "He'll abandon Crimson Hounds in a heartbeat and join one of the elite guilds." "What if he finds out that it was our guild that did this?" Arunn asked. "He'll seek revenge, no?"

"He won't find out, and if he does, it will take years for him to reach a power level high enough to threaten us. He might've already forgotten about us by then."

"Risky, very risky..." Arunn said with a frown. "I think we should have another plan in place."

"And what's that?"

"If he ends up returning to Dawnwatch, we'll snatch him up and lock him up in our little

prison~"

"Hmm..." Aaron thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Very well."

"When shall we send them?" Arunn asked. "I am sure Crimson Hounds has an eye on this place and will notice when we send someone out. They'll definitely recognize our youngest

mercenaries."

"I am already ahead on that." Aaron said with a smug look. "A few days ago, I relocated them to an inn near the dungeon just in case. They are ready to move to the dungeon in a

heartbeat."

"Hahaha, I see~" Arunn giggled like a child. "You expected this?"

"Not really," Aaron said. "But it is a welcoming surprise. It has been a very troubling month ever since we learned that Crimson Hounds got an S-rank in their midst, but I feel like a light

is finally shining on us.

"Us, Ameryn Brothers, will destroy Crimson Hounds and avenge what we lost!"

"I would pay a fortune to see Digby's expression when he finds out." Arunn laughed.

"Heh." Aaron chuckled as well and then turned to the low-hooded figure. "Send the message

to Rae and the rest. Tell them that the operation will begin at dawn tomorrow.

"Also, give this to Rae..."

The low-hooded figure carefully accepted the cubicle box with the bomb inside and hurriedly left the room, disappearing into the shadows.
