Chapter 28
Chapter 28 To Drive a Wedge between the Husband and Wife
[Team] Bitter Tea: Boss, I don’t think that Flowing Light will promise to marry into our gang.
Just as she expected, Flowing Light rejected the offer from Sacred TempleメCloud Top by sending out a Nearby message.
[Nearby] Flowing Light: You’d better just kill me here. I’m not that stupid to believe such a thing.
[Nearby] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: But Shallow Sleep doesn’t want you dead. We can’t kill you. Well, let’s go.
[Team] Bitter Tea: Are you sure, boss? We just let her off so easily?
Bitter Tea was a little reluctant, since it would be difficult for them to capture Flowing Light if Bluegreen-Clad was online.
[Team Captain] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Uhm, Empty City and I will leave first. Bitter Tea, you follow us but remember not to kill her.
[Team] Bitter Tea: But she hasn’t promised us anything.
[Team Captain] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: We don’t need her to promise us anything now. Her teammates, the four members of the League of Strong Families, see we release her and know that Shallow Sleep wants to marry her. That’s enough. I believe that once they tell this to their fellow gang members, Flowing Light will have a hard time,
While saying this, Sacred TempleメCloud Top thought, “They’d better make a fuss about this thing and manage to get their gang boss Bluegreen-Clad divorce Flowing Light. My gang will benefit from the conflict between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families.”
[Team] Bitter Tea: Boss, are you sure that Shallow Sleep will marry Flowing Light after she divorces Bluegreen-Clad?
Sacred TempleメCloud Top remained silent for a while as he thought, “Now it’s my friend Sacred TempleメEmpty City who is using the ID Shallow Sleep. Once Shallow Sleep himself logs onto the game and finds what we’ve done, things surely will be awkward.
“But I have no choice now. I never expected that the Matchless and the League of Strong Families would suddenly form an alliance. The gang boss of the Matchless even married her younger sister Flowing Light off to Bluegreen-Clad, gang boss of the League of Strong Families.
“Every time I think of their alliance, I’ll get a headache. Whenever we want to siege a city or start a gang war, the Sacred Temple has to fight against the other two big gangs. If I knew this earlier, I would try every means to marry that Flowing Light!”
In order to undermine the alliance between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families, Sacred TempleメCloud Top had once tried to ask his deputy gang boss Sacred TempleメEmpty City to seduce Flowing Light but gotten refused directly.
Sacred TempleメEmpty City: I can’t do that. I’m not interested in that Flowing Light at all.
Sacred TempleメCloud Top: That’s not important. You’re still single. Why not sacrifice yourself to help our gang win the Matchless over?
Sacred TempleメCloud Top would have tried to compete with Bluegreen-Clad by himself, if he had not been married to Saori.
Sacred TempleメEmpty City: Bro, I really want to help you out, but I’m chasing after Bitter Tea now. I really don’t have time to do that for you.
Sacred TempleメEmpty City had refused the request from his gang boss as he did not want Bitter Tea to misunderstand him.
Sacred TempleメClod Top had always planned to rope in the female summoner Bitter Tea, as she was a powerful player and an old member of his gang. As such, after being rejected by Sacred TempleメEmpty City, he shifted his gaze to Shallow Sleep.
Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Shallow Sleep, do you remember the girl who killed you for three times back in the siege battle? It’s said that she’s Blooming Pear Tree’s younger sister. When Blooming Pear Tree allied himself with the League of Strong Families, he married her off to the League of Strong Families. Are you interested in her?
Sacred TempleメCloud Top and Shallow Sleep had first met and become friends in Watery South of Shiny Sky Online. Shallow Sleep was a man of few words but a highly skillful assassin. No assassin could compete with him in the entire Watery South. As such, he was considered to be one of the strongest players in the Sacred Temple.
Shallow Sleep: …
Sacred TempleメCloud Top had once sent his wife’s female disciple Catalpa Tree to hit on Shallow Sleep, trying to invite him into his inner circle and increase his loyalty to the gang. Nevertheless, as this Shallow Sleep only liked to slay enemies, PK with other players and gain levels, he bored Catalpa Tree to death.
Because of that failed attempt, Sacred TempleメCloud Top always considered Shallow Sleep to be a professional player. Although he really wanted Shallow Sleep to seduce Flowing Light, he did not have high hopes for this plan.
Sacred TempleメCloud Top: If you’re not interested, forget about it. I was just curious.
After knowing that Shallow Sleep was not interested in Flowing Light, he did not mention that thing to Shallow Sleep again, as he did not want to irritate the assassin. Once in a while, he would complain. “How come that Flowing Light suddenly married Bluegreen-Clad?”
Once when Saori heard about his complaints, she felt upset and asked him whether he began to regret marrying her because she did not have a big brother who could top the PK list of the game.
In fact, Sacred TempleメCloud Top never regretted marrying Saori, as she was such a lovely and pretty girl and even promised to meet him offline in the near future.
He just did not want the Sacred Temple to be put at a disadvantage.
Therefore, he led his team to set up Flowing Light today. He planned to drive a wedge between her and her husband before she gained a firm footing in the League of Strong Families. With this in mind, he replied to Bitter Tea.
[Team Captain] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: That’s not a big problem. We just need to destroy the alliance between the League of Strong Families and the Matchless. Once we achieve that goal, it’s not necessary for him to marry that Flowing Light.
In the meantime, he thought, “Yes, that’s what I want. I can’t let Bluegreen-Clad stay married to Flowing Light, even if she refuses to marry into the Sacred Temple. I want the three big gangs to become isolated from one another again just like before.”
[Team] Sacred TempleメEmpty City: Cloud Top, do you think whether Shallow Sleep will get upset after knowing what we’ve done today?
Sacred TempleメEmpty City felt somewhat worried, since it was he who sneakingly logged into Shallow Sleep’s account, albeit at the behest of their gang boss.
[Team Captain] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Don’t worry. When he gets online, I’ll explain everything to him.
‘No guy cares about being involved in such ‘gossips’,’ thought Sacred TempleメCloud Top.
