"But why? Why?"
The driver shook his head. "I don't know. You know, even the guild is helpless about the boss in the game."
All of them sighed with a defeated looks. They looked at each other and decided it was best not to poke much in the Boss' business.
…
Roan cut the phone and walked to the guards. "You guys, I will wait here for my friends. You do your work."
The guards looked at each other and one of them asked, "Sir your instruction about miss."
Roan looked at them, "is there anything to ask on this? Just pulled out guns that time."
They looked at him with wide eyes, and nodding their head, moved to the party.
Roan leaned on his car and started waiting for those guys. He did not care much about this party instead, his mind was all occupied with the game. He spent his time thinking about his trapped situation in the game.
Time passed and after a few minutes, Aria walked out of the car with a clean face and no makeup. He nodded at her, and she walked beside him and stood there quietly.
Roan scrolled through his mobile and asked her, "Hey Aria, how is the guild preparation going on?"
She stared at him for a moment, then took out her tablet. "Sir, we are planning to support the 7th prince in this war."
"Mmm 7th" he nodded his head. It was the same as his past life, no change here. "What about 8 tier 1 cities? Who are we facing?"
"Sir, as you know guild abandon 4 cities. For the other 4, we found only some low-end guilds targeting them right now. We should not have any problem defending them."
"What about tier 2?"
She paused a little and said, "Sir, those 3 cities were facing much strong competition. Guild predicted that the 5 top guilds will target at least two of our tier 2 cities."
He sighed. He found no change in other cities the guilds had. It was just his city that differed from the future path.
He did not know what was going on with him or with Gazzi City. He looked at the ceiling.
"Sir?"
He glanced at Aria on the side. "mmm "
"Sir, why are you waiting here? "
"Oh, I am waiting for some people"
Trrr Trrrr his phone rang this time. He looked at the caller id, "Look like they are here."
[Hello Roan, where are you, man?]
"Mm, I am waiting for you guys. Where are you?"
[We are at just enter from the front gate. Come here.]
"Mm okay." he walked out of the parking lot while Aria followed a few steps behind him.
He moved to the gate, only to be blocked by guards. Gate guards looked at his clothes and denied his entry. He looked at them, only to find a few familiar guards. Though it looked like they did not recognize him at all.
"Sir, you need to show us the invitation," one gate guard asked him.
He scratched his head and looked back at Aria behind him. "Did those 5 guys tell you about the invitation thing?"
Aria shook his head.
The gate guard said at this time, "Miss you can enter the party?"
Aria looked at them in confusion. "But we are together?"
The guards looked at him again and then nodded, "If so, you can go in."
"Fck." He cursed at them and saw Aria trying not to smirk. Not wanting to spoil his mood, he entered.
This was his first time coming to such an enormous event. He looked around, clueless, as he saw many people moving around.
"Hey, Roan here dude!" He heard a shout, and looking there, he found a group standing there.
He nodded to them and walked to the group.
"What up guys? How are you?" Roan asked with a smile as he found 5 people, 3 boys, and 2 girls.
He found bulky Tayan in a brown suit and Kevin in a blue coat with their girlfriend beside them. While Sam sipping drinks on the side.
Tayan laughed at him, "Haha Roan, you are a man of your word."
Sam clicked his tongue, "Shit, I missed such a good chance to earn."
Kevin laughed at this. "Haha, I told you."
Roan looked at them poker face, "So where are others?"
Tayan smiled, "Hehe, I see you are in -" he paused.
Roan saw them staring at his back. He sighed. Beauty brings trouble! He turned to Aria, who was standing a few feet away from him, avoiding looking at him, but her occasional glance was making this worse.
He sighed, "Aria, come here," and motioned her to come beside him.
Aria stood frozen for a moment, then came next to him. All 5 in front of him stared at her and then at him.
Sam said with envy face, "Oh Roan, you sure go for big my guy. I didn't know you have this beautiful girlfriend."
Kevin and Tayan just looked at each other, not saying anything. He saw Aria blushing red there.
He shook to them, "You guy, she is not my girlfriend."
Sam squinted at him. "I don't believe you."
Roan shook his head, "whatever man." He turned to look at Tayan and saw sweat on his face while his girlfriend moved a little closer to him. The same with Kevin and his girlfriend.
'What the fck going on here? Is standing close to a partner a party norm?' He shook his head.
"Hey, Tayan, where are the others?"
"Oh, we are in Looby right now. Others should be in hall 2."
Roan nodded his head and moved away from them toward the 2nd hall. Aria followed behind him while he found the other 3 staying a distance away from him.
Aria whispered to him, "Sir it's weird why they are staying away from us. There must be some in the hall."
Roan shrugged his shoulder, "Whatever, I don't care. Let's just eat and leave."
Aria nodded her head and swiftly moved a little closer to him.
He spotted hall two and moved toward it. At that time, a worker collided with him.
"Sorry, sir, but it's urgent." He heard a panicked voice.
He nodded at the worker, "No problem," and tried walking away, but felt a touch in his hand. He paused, looking back saw Aria looking at the worker with a concerned look on her face.
He looked at the worker's face and, to his shock, he found it was his guard in disguise.
The guard started picking up the fallen stuff and said in a low tone, "There is a problem, sir."
He looked back at his friend and asked, "Is there something at the party?"
The guard said, "No sir, it is not mainly about the party. Though we found that your ex-do plan to humiliate you but that is not the big thing, sir."
"Mm, then what's the problem then?" He asked in irritation.
Guard picked up everything on the tray and said, "Sir, at the party there is a top member of the Dofy guild. We checked the guest list, but we did not find him there. He was inside there with full protection."
The moment Aria heard that name, she grabbed his arms. "Sir, it's a big problem. You can't go in with no protection.."
Roan looked at her in confusion, "What the fck is this guild? I never heard about them."
She looked at the guard, ignoring him, and said, "Assembled everyone. No need to take risks."
He stared at the situation in shock. What the fck going on? It first time Aria gave direct commands without his consent. He realized whatever this Dofy guild was; it was not a great thing for him.
He sighed and stood there, waiting for the guards to come. He saw his friends looking at him in confusion. Tayan walked toward him and at that moment he saw Aria's hand going inside her purse.
'Fck, she is ready to shoot.' He took a breath. No need to panic.
Tayan walked past him while smiling. He smiled at him and then looked at Aria. "What are you doing right now?"
Aria looked around in panic "Sir, it's for your safety. We can not take a risk here."
Roan knew no point talking to her. He saw her shaking a little. After some time, all 5 guards moved around him. She sighed.
He looked at the guard and asked, "Care to tell me what this Dofy guild is?"
One guard said to him, "Sir, they are not in the Algoma kingdom. There is nothing between Abyss guild and Dofy guild."
Roan rubbed his forehead. "It's gang then."
All of them nodded their head.
He asked them, "But I thought you guys stopped shooting each other after the game, came out."
Aria said to him, "Sir, you are right. There is no open fight between us right now, but it does not convert gang members to saints. They are impulsive, so it is better if we warned them beforehand."
"Fck, tell me you will not start shooting each other."
The guard shook his head. "There would be no problem, sir. "
"fck whatever. You spoiled my ex's plan, though." Nothing going well with him. He saw a relaxed look on guard faces. It was nothing new for them. Some of them even puffed their chest as if they would brag at the party.
'Well, great life lesson, I guess.' this incident sure reminded him he did not know the Abyss gang. He only had limited knowledge about the Abyss guild only.
