Why don't you shoot a message to your leader? I don't have anything to do right this second. I can wait with you for their reply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Liam. I am grateful that you gave us this second chance.\" Derek did not continue to wallow on the sore topic and quickly sent a message to their group leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could somehow form an alliance with this powerful person, it would be tremendously helpful for the growth of their guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sent the message but as for the reply…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of minutes passed as the two men sat in silence and enjoyed the gentle breeze of the verdant plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still no reply?\" Liam smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah. I think they might be busy.\" Derek tried to explain. Though inwardly, he was panicking. He wasn't even sure whether this message was seen yet or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even normally, the party leader had a habit of ignoring him, and now that they were running for their lives, the chance of him getting an immediate reply was unfortunately a big fat zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm. I think things might be a bit tricky right now. Can I get in touch with you later?\" Derek winced and muttered, afraid to meet Liam's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He very badly hoped that Liam would agree and not take it as a sign of disrespect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because later on, if things did not turn out well, he would be the person everyone would blame once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already tried his best but it wouldn't matter. They would blame it all on him and make him pay some sort of fine irrespectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek sighed. He had been in this situation so many times that he was now used to this treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his strained expressions, Liam smiled and did not beat around the bush anymore. He got straight to his point. \"You can leave, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Derek was shocked. Weren't they talking about business deals right now? What is this about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am saying you can leave that guild,\" Liam repeated his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Derek himself did not know and his teammates did not know was that he was one of the top players in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also, later on, became the main General for the Guardians guild, one of the top guilds after his current guild was disbanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the other Generals were all long-term guild members who had been there with the Guardians guild from the beginning, Derek was a newcomer and yet rose to that position unanimously without any opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just that skilled. However, what Liam admired about him and was more interested in was his honesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was treated like a doormat by his guild because he urgently needed fees for his mother's treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made him a dog and tortured him, all because the other tank in the guild was jealous of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not want to let him leave as even they knew he was a top-tier player but since he had a calm and submissive personality, they made use of it and treated him like trash until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam did not know what changed in the future that made his character drastically change from whom he was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the person in front of him was still that calm, patient, and submissive person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if he did not use this opportunity and try and obtain him as an ally, he would be a complete fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a major problem when dealing with people like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam valued him for his loyalty and honesty but these would be the very same qualities that would prevent him from breaking away from his current team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you not have any money with you, even a few silver coins to exchange for a health potion? Are you in need of some money?\" Liam lightly treaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek, who was already reeling from shock from Liam's previous words, now was even more flabbergasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was some sort of mind reader? How does he know everything? He stared at Liam dumbly, unable to answer any of his questions or respond to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you looking at me like that? I am just asking as a friend and as a future business collaborator. If you need some money, I can loan it to you.\" Liam paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then as if he could read the other person's thoughts, he further added. \"It doesn't matter how much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. That…\" Derek hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you need? 100,000? 500,000? 1 million?\" Liam continued, not giving him a chance to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each word he said, the other person became even more speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look here. I already know that you are in need of some money. And your so-called friends are probably not going to help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They might have promised you but I doubt that it is going to happen anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam looked at the person and with an unwavering gaze, he continued. \"I am ready to help you now.\" He slowly spoke, enunciating his every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How… How do you know?\" Derek stuttered. He had never met this person before in his life and yet he was able to obtain every last detail about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it really matter how I know? How did you guys find out about my identity? See, there are many secrets in this game and many ways to know about many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's not confuse ourselves with those inconsequential details.\" Liam purposefully diverted the topic and brought it back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only question that matters is… do you want my help or not? Within three days I can guarantee to give you that amount that you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So do you want it or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek gulped. He had no idea what to say and only dumbly stared at Liam. His earnest sincere expression made Liam shake his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not going to lie to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not doing this for you. I am doing this for me.. Just like those guys, I also plan to exploit you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.730Z",1,"novelbin.me","97bb8a6a39fb1b0aa4790588cef9f1781c61dd9d3c2a6e1705f0a040a3d6acad","re-evolution-online-chapter-229","re-evolution-online-chapter-176",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
