There are about a hundred players surrounding us. Should we run or fight?\" Mia asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that she was afraid, but theirs was a newly formed guild, and without knowing who this enemy was, it wouldn't be wise to engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, she was no longer the person at the top. When Liam was around, it was best to consult him before acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Mia clutched the staff in her hand and asked him while simultaneously gauging the strength of the people surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liam unexpectedly remained silent instead of answering her immediately. His eyes were fixated on the small emblem on the nearest player's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emblem of the Gu family guild!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. You are right. There are indeed a lot of people here.\" Liam couldn't help but laugh as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a hundred or more people were standing around them, blocking their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the looks of it, they should have prepared some sort of item to keep these many players hidden and suddenly ambush in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guild Leader Mia!\" A chubby young man sat atop a black panther and shouted, slowly walking out. \"Fancy meeting you here. This must be fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed loudly and walked with confidence in his strides. His two eyes arrogantly looked at the measly 25 players in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Liam was also equally amused. It was definitely fate! He knew it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu family's Jade Mountain was one of the top guilds in the Gresh Kingdom. So as soon as he created a guild of his own, this confrontation was something that Liam expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not think that it would come this soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia was about to answer the person when suddenly Liam stopped her by raising his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, young master. Good to meet you. I wonder what business Jade Mountain has with our guild?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes at the same time tried to gauge the strength of the people surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their levels and their stats might be hidden but if one observed closely, these things could always be determined by the worth of the equipment they were wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what Liam could see, this was nothing much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to take them out with just this much? With these numbers and this equipment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Business? Who said I came to do business? I am here to give you my first and final warning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surrender now and sign our guild contract. I will let you all live. If not… your equipment might not be the only thing you lose today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph! He snorted haughtily giving a glance to either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred players dressed in dazzling silver equipment all gave a collective cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked as if they were ready to march into battle and tear everything apart at the snap of his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole scene might have looked more fear-inducing if not for the fact that the panther under the fat boss currently had a pitiful look on its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy's weight was clearly too much for the beast to handle, yet the person had black-heartedly forced it to carry him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! How can you be so heartless?\" Not able to stand it any longer, Mei Mei stepped forward and shouted back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He He. Unfortunately, this game is indeed heartless. You kill or be-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you talking about? Shut the hell up and get down at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What are you talking about? What get down?\" Gu Donghai was slightly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here he was threatening them with death, and this woman was asking him to get down? Who the hell was this crazy woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not goddess Mia's voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother! This guy is too stupid! I don't even want to waste time talking with him. Let's just kill him and save the panther.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gu Donghai was now even more confused. What the hell was going on here! Why wasn't anyone treating him seriously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was this about saving the panther? Which panther are they talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially hearing the word stupid, he was completely triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam on the other side was rubbing his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slut! Pay attention when I am talking to you! You dare call someone from the Gu family stupid? I am going to end you today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Men Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When dealing with idiots, it's better to talk with fists first and words later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will kill them a few times, and then we will-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your words. Not mine.\" Liam did not want to waste any more time with this bunch of idiots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Donghai could even finish his sentence, the person who was standing in front of him and talking, was no longer there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, his head was already detached and falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AEK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Donghai screeched before the rest of his dead body also fell to the ground and disintegrated into light dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"LEADER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KILL THEM ALL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the ones at the front realized what happened and shouted. The ones at the back did not even understand what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some still in a trance, and some took a step back hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the head cut off, the group of hundred suddenly looked extremely unsure of themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam smirked. Should he spare them all because they had nothing to do with him in the grand scheme of things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that was not how the world worked. He did not stop there and swung his sword wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jumping off of his back, the white fox dashed around and took care of her share of carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something bright and shiny dropped with every person who died, so Luna absolutely did not hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright reddish-orange bursts of flame popped up here and there amidst the crumbling army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was chaos and uproar everywhere and no one knew what to do. \"This is the perfect lesson for having numbers without any structure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam typed in the group chat while killing yet another opponent. The others also did not stand idly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek crushed whoever was in his path. Alex slaughtered her way through. Mia dealt damage seeing that no one needed any sort of healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a matter of a few minutes, all the hundred players were completely decimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few players at the back tried to escape and run away, but Liam did not allow a single one to leave and took care of every last person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only some thieves and assassins probably escaped because of their [Stealth] skill and Liam did not bother chasing after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though even most of these players were exposed to friendly fire because of the complete and utter disorder in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only being that was still remaining, the last one standing was unexpectedly the pitiful black panther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Mei had saved the beast right from the get-go and protected it all throughout the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liam noticed her, she quickly and shamelessly brought out her adorable puppy dog eyes. \"Please, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing next to her, the panther also had the same expression for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching these two, what else could Liam do? He helplessly shook his head. \"Do whatever you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did not have the heart to break it to her. Beasts once tamed and bound to a player cannot be tamed again by another player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because the beast's soul was typically branded when a contract was formed. If one tried to forcefully erase this contract, then the beast would only perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liam knew that Mei Mei was probably not going to do anything extreme like that. After a few tries, he expected her to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stretching his hands, he relaxed his body and prepared to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unexpectedly, Mei Mei did not try to tame it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis Yue, quick, give me something you cooked. Meatballs or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Shen Yue was confused, but she hurriedly took some grub from her inventory and handed it to the young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, Liam, and also the rest of the group, curiously watched as Mei Mei fed the meatballs to the panther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to become my pet cutie?\" she lovingly patted the panther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\" Liam was shocked. The others were also equally shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the others quickly recovered as they did not expect anything less from the sister of their genius leader!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like brother like sister!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Shen Yue and Liam who knew the truth watched the little girl in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both watched the girl coax the panther. Will this even work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several played had tried the same method and beasts typically did not submit to niceties like this. They usually eat the food and then still remain hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… surprisingly… just after a couple of meatballs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panther was licking Mei Mei like a dog?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two meatballs were enough? It shifted its loyalty so soon? Even Mei Mei was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have obtained a new pet. Do you wish to name this pet?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yayyyy! Yippee!\" Mei Mei jumped up and down in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not use any skill, did not hatch any egg or use any other contract, and just like that, she received a pet! This was simply too awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. what happened?\" Liam asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, I got my first pet!\" Mei Mei stuck her tongue out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam opened and closed his mouth speechlessly. \"Just what meatballs did you give? Give me some?\" He asked Shen Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… nothing special.\" She really did not feed the beast anything special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue embarrassedly showed Liam the meatballs and only after he confirmed it with his own eyes he believed her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meatballs were not anything special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you really manage to tame the beast?\" He asked Mei Mei again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Yes. See, I named him Plum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1719,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","60849d35b1b0bd794e90ef5081366f226d45124deb7fb067628c3756bb174081","re-evolution-online-chapter-346","re-evolution-online-chapter-344",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
