Chapter 238: Fulfilling a promise
Osmond may have been strong, and in the 28th city, he could be considered the top player. However, when compared to Waldo, the gap was quite apparent. It wasn’t just a crushing defeat for a level 60 against a level 50.
What was more important was that Waldo was different from ordinary people, possessing a total of six abilities! Three of these abilities had been raised to the second level, while the other three had even reached the third level. Being instantly defeated by Waldo wasn’t all that surprising.
In this moment, Osmond’s lover was terrified. Her once exquisite face turned as pale as paper.
"Please, don’t kill me! I haven’t done anything; it was all Osmond’s doing!" The woman repeatedly shook her head, tears streaming down, pleading with Waldo.
Seeing Waldo’s cold expression, she even lowered her clothing neckline, revealing a large expanse of fair skin. Obviously, she was attempting to seduce him. She did have some skills in that department - a delicate face, smooth, fair skin, and, after all, she was still young.
However, Waldo already had Alanna and Helen in his life. In terms of looks alone, she couldn’t compare, not to mention that she had been played with by Osmond and many others before. Waldo had absolutely no interest in her!
"As for you two, Osmond is already dead, and you can join him now!" In the next moment, Waldo acted directly. His speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to react to. The woman’s eyes widened in extreme fear and dread.
"Osmond and his Tiger group deliberately opposed me, and they even resorted to murder. Therefore, he got what he deserved," Waldo said coldly. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and it didn’t sound like he was talking to himself.
These words were meant for Ivor and the others to hear, as well as for the others hiding in the darkness. Even though some of them were well hidden, Waldo could still sense their presence. It was because they hadn’t made a move that today’s events hadn’t escalated further.
At this moment, Ivor and the others finally reacted and rushed forward.
"Waldo, hello! I’m your fan! Thank you so much for stepping in and saving our lives. We are incredibly grateful! I always knew you wouldn’t abandon us; you would definitely come to our rescue!" The group of people eagerly spoke.
Waldo waved his hand repeatedly to calm them down. "This time, I want to give special thanks to all of you for safeguarding and protecting this ticket! If it weren’t for your determination to guard it with your lives, this first-level ticket would probably have fallen into someone else’s hands by now," Waldo sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Unlike ordinary items, the ticket couldn’t be traded through the system or transferred directly through the system. If it weren’t for Ivor and the others risking their lives to protect it, no matter how fast Waldo was, someone else would have claimed this first-level ticket after his arrival.
"It’s really nothing, just a small effort!"
"We’re honored to assist you, Waldo!"
"Yeah, we didn’t do much, and you came to our rescue!"
The group responded enthusiastically, their faces still showing a mix of fear and awe. Waldo’s behavior had taken them by surprise. They hadn’t expected him to be so affable.
Compared to the cold and ruthless killing machine from moments ago, he seemed like a completely different person. In an instant, their impression of Waldo had improved significantly.
Waldo noticed their reactions but didn’t dwell on it. "Since your task is complete, and you’ve helped me obtain the first-class ticket successfully, it’s time for me to fulfill my promise. Rest assured, I will help you secure the tickets. The tickets don’t all appear at once. Tickets of different levels appear at different times."
The information about the tickets shown on the map earlier was just the locations where the tickets were going to refresh but hadn’t actually appeared yet. The first to appear was Waldo’s first-class ticket. Afterward, the second-level tickets appeared.
Only after all the second-level tickets had been claimed did the third-level tickets refresh. Following the third-level tickets, the lowest-tier fourth-level tickets would appear.
So, after Waldo obtained the only first-class ticket, many second-level tickets refreshed in their designated locations.
"Let’s go! There are fifteen second-level tickets available in City 28, and we can still make it," Waldo declared.
He was determined to keep his word about helping them secure the tickets without any compromise.
At the same time, Waldo informed Alanna and Helen, the two women.
"No need to rush over right away. I’ve already obtained a first-level ticket, so I can take you directly to the ship when the time comes. It’s a privilege of the first-level ticket, so you won’t need extra tickets."
"Really? That’s great!"
"We can take it easy on the road and enjoy the scenery."
Upon hearing this, the two women were delighted.
"Sure, it’s up to you. Just stay safe," Waldo replied.
"Of course, don’t worry."
The two women nodded in agreement.
Then, Waldo ended the communication. He had previously disembarked from his vehicle midway to fly directly to the location, while the two women were still en route. However, both women had reached level fifty and had upgraded their abilities to the second level, making them quite formidable, so safety wasn’t a major concern.
Over the next few hours, Waldo ruthlessly went after the tickets, leaving others with a bitter taste in their mouths. By daybreak, Waldo had finally helped Ivor and the others each secure a second-level ticket, fulfilling his promise.
At that moment, Alanna and Helen finally arrived in City 28.
"You couldn’t have timed it better. I just finished up, and here you are!" Waldo couldn’t help but comment with a hint of exasperation.
"Haha, you’ve worked hard, you’ve worked hard!" The two women suddenly burst into laughter.
But as soon as they spoke, the ground began to shake violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
