BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69: Are You Worthy?
"COME ON THEN!!!" Rick yelled gripping his weapons tightly.
"Come and get m..."
Whoosh!!!
".....?!"
"....."
Rick froze instantly as Jennifer slowly materialized behind him, blood dipping from her Scythe.
With horror written all of his face his light barrier shattered into countless pieces.
Rick\'s body then broke into different parts falling into a heap of gruesome pile.
"I said your rare-class skill can\'t protect you from me." She slowly turned around.
Michael blinked thrice, staring at Jennifer like she has grown two heads.
Jennifer turned to him.
"Don\'t worry Micky, I\'m not after you. You should be grateful to me." Her Scythe disintegrated into light particles as she walked towards him.
"What do you mean?" Michael asked in mild confusion.
Jennifer stopped in front of him, she stared deep in his eyes.
"Don\'t think you are the strongest for having a Legendary weapon. Tell you the truth, those In top 3 to 20 on the ranking board all has Legendary weapons, you are still safe because they don\'t know your location. If they do..."
She smirked.
"I will protect Mira. Just think about getting stronger so you can protect her too." She walked towards Donny after saying that.
Michael stood still for a while, her word replaying in his head. "Why would they be after me? I\'d done nothing to them."
Jennifer Scoffed.
"You took their ranking position, pushing them downward. AI gave you that 1st position for a reason, let\'s see; Maybe to see if you are really worthy of it."
She looked at him over her shoulder.
"You aren\'t ready."
Michael frowned deeply hearing her. In Virtual reality game, he could be invincible because of the cheating system, but here...
\'I need to get stronger.\'
"Don\'t worry, I will help. If you need my help that is." She stopped in front of Donny. "You have one task love; Set this building on fire, and shoot yourself when you are done."
Donny nodded mindlessly, then walked away to carry out her order.
"Can we go Micky?"
She turned to Michael who still stood on the same spot. His thoughts wandering.
\'What if players stronger than Jennifer appears? What if this Joker I have been hearing about choose to attack? Can I really protect Mira with my strength?\' He looked at the daggers in his hand.
\'I can\'t even think of winning Jennifer. And she isn\'t the only gold medal holder on the ranking board! Should I be angry on AI or myself?!\' He sighed.
\'After I was revived, should I have leave VRG? Maybe our lives will be more peaceful then... No!!\' He turned to Jennifer who was staring at him with a smile.
\'If I haven\'t joined VRG, Mira and I won\'t have survived against that guy sent by the Assassin\' Guild. The only way to protect my Sister is to get stronger. Much stronger.\'
"What can you teach me?" He asked Jennifer.
She smiled and walked towards him again. "First of all; how to use your weapon, Then speed."
Michael nodded. "We\'ll start after I am done with all the pests."
"How many are we talking here?"
Jennifer was a little confused, she thought the Shadow Guild were the last Guild to destroy.
"After the Shadow Guild, I will deal with the Vipers. We have some unfinished business."
"Oh Micky, do you know how powerful the Vipers are? They are holding top 90 on the Guild ranking board, this guild you destroy are holding Top 200."
Michael just nodded at her and walked towards the entrance.
"I\'m not joking Micky! Their Guild master is a Platinum medal player 3-stars! A step to enter Gold medal. You can\'t win."
"Thanks for the pep talk, we\'ll deal with them after our training."
He wants his revenge, not his death. He could face Huntress because he\'s in a game and most of all; she was alone.
Fighting a whole Guild with his current strength is only a death wish.
"Good." Jennifer nodded following behind him.
-
Donny was busy pouring Petroleum all over the building. Moments later; He brought out a match stick and lit it up, throwing it on the heap of bodies before him. Flames caught instantly.
He then brought out a gun and raised it to the side of his head.
-
Michael and Jennifer calmly walked out the building. They stared at the cars and passer-by for a moment then walked towards Jennifer\'s Lincoln.
"Let\'s get out from here before the fire alarmed anyone."
She got in the driver\'s seat while Michael sat in the back, His head somewhere else.
"Are you OK?" Jennifer turned to him seeing his thoughtful expression.
"Yes, but I have a question."
Jennifer started the car. "What is it?" She asked looking ahead.
"Why are you here? You never visited us. Not even ones after 5 years."
"You also didn\'t--"
"--I don\'t Even know where you are--"
"--I know that." She looked ahead, driving towards the Shadow Guild\'s building which was 10 miles away.
"I was upset that when my parents died none of you showed up. So I decided to keep a distance, My initial reason for visiting is to give you an invitation card. Glen is hosting a class gathering party for all of us. But after knowing you two had no idea about my Parents\' death I felt so stupid and ashamed."
"Glen?" Michael\'s face turned cold, he paid no attention to the other things she said.
"Yes. He wants everyone to come, including you... That surprised me because both of you are like Fire-and-water."
"It\'ll be good to see him again." Michael smirked. "When and where?"
"A week from now, Mega Super Hotel." Jennifer answered.
"I have a present for him."
She remained silent, not saying anything.
"My condolences."
Jennifer looked at him through the rearview mirror with a stunned gaze, she then nodded slowly not saying anything.
Michael stared at her for a moment, then relaxed on the seat.
\'Shadow Guild next.\'
