Sword Among Us

Creeaaakk!!

A dull sound rose, and Wandering Know-it-all’s door opened loudly.

At that moment, Dream Clouds and the others practically had their gazes fixed at the same time on the door crack that was gradually widening. They still looked very aggressive when they saw that familiar face that terrified and angered them.

That person stood behind the door without moving, and as the door opened, he slowly looked up, and a bone-chilling cold glare shot out of his eyes.

When the five people’s eyes met that person’s gaze, they felt as if they had been electrified. A cold basin of water poured over their heads, and the imposing mannerism they had in wanting to condemn Happy of his actions instantly disappeared by a large degree.

This brutal person drenched an entire Class One Hall branch in blood, but his eyes were still so fierce. Could it be that he intended to fight in the city?

Dream Clouds and the others were all affected by the fiendish air about Happy, and aside from the expression of the man with Bamboo Hat, which could not be seen, the rest had their expressions turn solemn.

The door was completely opened.

Happy swept his gaze over the five people before he walked through the entrance. “It has been half a year, and now we meet again in Beijing, Hall Master Dream.”

His voice was neither cold nor cordial, and it was delivered at a moderate pace.

Dream Clouds said nothing. Her gaze darkened.

Her mood had been horrible since the beginning, and she was trying her best to make herself seem imposing again so that she can denounce Happy. She did not expect Happy to pour salt over a wound that had not healed right from the start, and her mood instantly became even worse.

The first time Happy came to Beijing, he left behind a memory Class One Hall cannot forget, along with a huge blow on them that they could not recover from for as long as half a year. There was no way Dream Clouds will forget about it. In fact, there was no way anyone in Class One Hall will be able to forget it easily.

Dream Clouds’ tone became dark when she spoke angrily, “There is no way I will forget that lesson… At that time, nearly one thousand of my people died in you and your subordinates’ hands. This time, when you came over, you killed another three hundred of my people in a branch. I hope that you will give me an explanation for this, otherwise, it will not be easy for me to explain matters to my people who died. The tens of thousands of Class One Hall members will not leave matters as it is!”

She gradually regained her rhythm, and her voice became fierce and sharp.

“That is that, and this is this. Hall Master Dream, I will tell you everything one by one. I’m rather slow-witted, and when I have to attend to so many matters at once, it will be difficult for me to take care of them.” As he spoke, Happy arrived at the top of the stairs and stopped. He stared into Dream Clouds’ eyes from that spot and changed his tone. “The last time I came to Beijing, you treated me very well, and I have always remembered it, but that has already been a long time since it happened, and I don’t intend to look into it anymore. This time, I came to Beijing with the main goal of Barren Murderer coming to Mu Clan’s branch, killing my friends, and also provoking us.”

His gaze turned to Barren Murderer, and he curled his lips slightly. “Vice Hall Master Barren, did you come along with the others to apologize for your mistakes?”

That one sentence alone made Dream Clouds nearly explode in rage.

Barren Murderer only killed a few members who served as guards in Mu Clan, but when Happy went to their branch, he killed more than three hundred Class One Hall elites.

And yet, now, he was saying that Barren Murderer was there to apologize for his mistakes. Not only did Dream Clouds become so angry that she was practically fuming, Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows’ gazes on Happy also became much fiercer.

‘Even if you want to bully someone, that’s not the way to do it!’

“Vice Hall Master Barren can apologize for what he did to Mu Clan’s branch, but Happy, don’t you think that you should also apologize for what you did?”

“Oh? And what did I do to offend Class One Hall?”

“Don’t act the fool. More than three hundred people in the branch in my town were killed because of you, and all of it happened less than one hour ago. Are you trying to deny it? You’re the strongest player in the Chinese server, are you saying that you can’t admit to your doings?”

Dream Clouds glared at Happy coldly.

It was not easy for her to take action in the city, but since they had already arrived at the agreement to negotiate matters, she wanted to see how Happy will round things up for this matter.

But against her expectations, once he heard Dream Clouds’ accusations, Happy furrowed his eyebrows in shock.

“I did indeed kill a lot of people today, and there was nearly four hundred of people, but that’s strange, what do they have to do with Class One Hall…?”

They were struck dumb.

“When I was drinking with Wandering Know-it-all, I got to learn through sheer coincidence that the Dragon Sect elites who helped Towering Palace and worked together with them were hidden near Beijing. You should know as well that these non Chinese players came from America, and they have ulterior motives within them. Not only did they kill many of Mu Clan’s members, they also killed Wandering Know-it-all’s disciple, Wind Chimes. Due to official business and private matters, there is no way I can just watch them being in Beijing and staying in the Chinese plains, which is why I chased after them in a moment of righteous indignation.”

When he heard this, Dream Clouds and the others were all flabbergasted, and they had the vague feeling that Happy was twisting the truth.

And just as they expected, once Happy said those words, he suddenly threw a question back at them. “During my chase, their leader, Teacher, ran into a sect’s branch, so naturally, I slaughtered my way into it without holding back. Could it be that the branch has something to do with Class One Hall?”

He stopped talking for a moment, and his voice turned cold. “Are you telling me that the group of American assassins are controlled by Class One Hall, or are you telling me that you are protecting Mu Clan’s enemies?”

Dream Clouds, Barren Murderer, Evil Monk, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows said nothing, but they were looking at Happy’s actions with great disdain at that moment.

No matter what they expected, they did not expect that Happy would actually use Dragon Sect as his excuse to play the fool and pretend to not know that Dragon Sect’s members had already joined Class One Hall. They also did not expect that he would pretend to not know that the place was Class One Hall’s branch, and once he killed all the people in the branch, he would play the victim instead! He had completely cast aside the reason behind why he attacked Class One Hall because of Barren Murderer’s actions.

Dream Clouds immediately found it hard to do anything in this situation!

Happy had completely cast aside Barren Murderer as his reason for attacking the branch and said that he was chasing after Teacher, which was why he killed all the people in Class One Hall’s branch, causing all the things she prepared to say to be completely useless.

She originally thought that once Happy killed Teacher and his group, he was taking revenge on Class One Hall by killing more than three hundred people, and it was an act of provocation and intimidation.

She did not expect this…

Happy could already tell from Dream Clouds’ face that she had grossly miscalculated how things would progress.

Happy did not give Dream Clouds a chance to recover. His gaze turned sharp, and he walked down slowly from the stairs. His qi swiftly rose as well. “Hall Master Dream, so, you are working with foreign forces and Mu Clan’s enemies…”

Dream Clouds had already lost control of the situation a little, and she found herself losing her composure as well.

At that moment, the man with the Bamboo Hat took a step forward calmly to stand beside Dream Clouds in order to fight against the aggressive presence from Happy. A familiar voice rose into the air.

“We don’t know the Teacher that you speak of clearly. If that truly happened and such a person really did join Class One Hall, we will definitely chase him out, but Happy, you said that you don’t know Class One Hall’s branch, and with that sentence alone, you killed more than three hundred of our people. Isn’t that reason a little too far-fetched?”

When that person spoke, Happy recognized him, and when his gaze landed on him, realization shone in his eyes. “And I was wondering who you were. I see, so it’s you, Zhou Yu.

“But if you say that my reason is far-fetched, don’t you think that your reason is equally far-fetched? Teacher led more than thirty Dragon Sect members during the battle at Yangzhou, and this matter has long since shocked all the people in the entire game. If you say that you didn’t realize it’s him and claim that you don’t know him, don’t you think you’re just brushing me off?”

Happy rudely used Zhou Yu’s tone to throw what he said to Happy back at his face.
