Chapter 294: Bounty order
"Waldo, you should have never, under any circumstances, provoked our Alliance of Gods! You are powerful, but in front of the Alliance of Gods, you are nothing. Originally, by all accounts, after you sank three of our warships, we should have made you and everyone on the Dawn pay the price."
However, our leader has decided to be lenient with you. As long as you surrender unconditionally, we can spare everyone except you. But, Waldo, as the mastermind, you must pay for your crimes with your life!
The leader’s voice was sharp and arrogant.
It seemed like they didn’t regard Waldo at all, even though they were on Waldo’s ship. There was no restraint whatsoever.
As the envoy of the Alliance of Gods within the Seven Major Alliances, they were undisputed overlords with a very extensive and far-reaching influence.
They didn’t need to care about the Dawn, which had no significant background.
The leader was confident that Waldo wouldn’t dare to do anything to them. Being part of the Seven Major Alliances, their backing was solid. If anyone dared to lift a finger against them, the consequences would be severe.
That was the basis of their arrogance.
However, unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and underestimated Waldo.
Upon hearing the leader’s words, Waldo was momentarily stunned.
"When did I provoke the Alliance of Gods?"
However, he didn’t care.
No matter how this had come about, it was impossible to reconcile when this person was threatening them.
Waldo looked at the person speaking as if they were a fool.
He didn’t understand where this person’s confidence was coming from.
"Did they think he had lived for too long?"
"I didn’t want trouble, but it seems like you’ve invited trouble onto yourselves. Very well, since you’re coming to seek death one by one, I’ll oblige."
Waldo sneered inwardly.
Although his power might be far inferior to that of the Alliance of Gods, in terms of scale, there was no comparison.
Yet, Waldo was not afraid at all.
Because the Alliance of Gods couldn’t do anything to him either.
Under normal circumstances, Waldo wouldn’t easily provoke the Seven Major Alliances, including the Alliance of Gods.
However, if the other party wanted to turn the tables and bully him, then don’t blame him for not recognizing them!
When did the Alliance of Gods dare to threaten me, Waldo? It’s ridiculous! They want me to surrender unconditionally? I must be living in a dream!
Calvert, kill these people and send the photos to the Alliance of Gods, let them deal with it themselves!
With Waldo’s command, Calvert and the warriors, who had been prepared for a long time, angrily raised their weapons and aimed at the envoys of the Alliance of Gods.
They were also quite furious.
When they heard the other side’s arrogant words, they were almost about to explode in anger.
They were just waiting for Waldo’s order to kill these fools who didn’t know any better.
In an instant, the people from the Alliance of Gods changed their expressions drastically.
They shouted, "Waldo! What do you intend to do?!"
"I warn you, we are from the Alliance of Gods. Our alliance has hundreds of various-sized warships, aircraft carriers, and dozens of carrier-based planes. As long as you dare to move even a finger against us, you will face utter destruction!"
"Waldo, you better call them off! Are you sure you want to be enemies with the Alliance of Gods? At that time, everyone on the Dawn is as good as dead!"
"If you want to die, go ahead, but don’t drag others down with you. It’s none of their business!"
The people from the Alliance of Gods were finally a little afraid.
At this moment, they suddenly remembered that Waldo was, in fact, a ruthless killer who feared nothing.
Provoking him might lead to dire consequences.
Thus, they had to bring up the Alliance of Gods.
Moreover, when they threatened, they kept instigating discord.
Any discerning person could tell that the last sentence was clearly trying to sow discord between Waldo and the others.
"I’ve made it clear. Only Waldo will die for sure! As long as the others don’t lay a hand on the Alliance of Gods, they won’t have to die! This way, those under Waldo won’t dare to touch us easily."
"Maybe, I can further sow discord. In the end, they will turn against each other. Perhaps I can even take down Waldo ahead of time and achieve great merit!"
His thoughts were quite idealistic.
However, he had no idea that after hearing these words, Calvert and the others were even more furious and eager to kill him!
They had been loyal to Waldo for a long time.
Betrayal was out of the question.
Upon hearing these words, Waldo couldn’t help but laugh.
Waldo asked, "Alright, I can spare you temporarily. However, I have a question I’d like to ask you."
"What is it?" The envoy of the Alliance of Gods relaxed slightly, feeling a bit relieved. It seemed that while Waldo was formidable, he still didn’t dare to harm them easily!
"Just ask your question. As long as you cooperate a little and surrender unconditionally, there might be a chance for you to stay alive. Of course, it depends on how you perform."
To keep Waldo in check, he had to say this.
Waldo coldly snorted inwardly, thinking, "You’re already dead."
However, he maintained a calm exterior.
"What I want to know is, how did I provoke the Alliance of Gods?"
"Don’t you know?"
"I don’t."
The envoy of the Alliance of Gods was a bit speechless and said, "Several days ago, you sank three warships of the Dawn fleet. Don’t you remember this incident?"
"Let me tell you, the Dawn is one of the members of our Alliance of Gods. While you killed Dwayne, the controller of the Dawn, his brother Hadden informed our alliance leader about this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Waldo nodded in sudden realization. "Hadden, right?"
"Yes!"
"Where is he now?"
"On the aircraft carrier ’Allfather.’"
"Then, who proposed to kill me?"
The envoy of the Alliance of Gods grew somewhat impatient.
"Why do you ask so much? It wasn’t anyone who wanted to kill you. It was the result of a discussion among all the controllers and was ultimately ordered by our leader!"
Waldo pretended not to see the impatience written on the envoy’s face and asked again, "So, where do your leader and those controllers usually stay?"
"Of course, it’s on the aircraft carrier. That’s the core of the alliance."
The envoy sneered, saying, "Why are you asking so much?"
"Instead of wasting time, you should surrender now. By tomorrow, you might not even have a chance for your last breath!"
"A chance for my last breath?"
Little did they know, Waldo suddenly chuckled coldly.
"Sorry, I don’t need that!"
"You can all die now!"
Waldo suddenly looked at these people and activated his ability, [Petrification].
In an instant, the envoys of the Alliance of Gods turned into stone statues!
At this moment, on the aircraft carrier of the Alliance of Gods.
The leader, Justin, was in a meeting with other controllers.
The Alliance of Gods is a vast organization with numerous affairs, requiring frequent meetings to discuss various matters.
"Not long ago, our long-range ship had a conflict with a vessel from the Victory Alliance, and their ship was damaged. Now, representatives from the Victory Alliance are coming, seeking an explanation. What do you think we should do?" Justin said.
"What should we do? Can’t possibly hand over the long-range ship! Besides, the fault isn’t ours; they brought this upon themselves, it’s not our concern. If they want trouble, let them have it. I’d like to see what they’re up to!"
"I think we need to deliberate on this matter for the long term and not make hasty decisions. It’s simple; the Victory Alliance is known as the leader of the Seven Alliances. We certainly can’t easily offend them. However, they won’t dare to provoke us either. But if this conflict escalates, it won’t be good for both parties."
"Indeed. We should consider the situation carefully. We must remember that the other major alliances seem to be subtly aligning themselves. We’re in close proximity to the Victory Alliance, and if the situation worsens, they could be our best ally. Therefore, we need to maintain good relations now!"
The discussion continued, analyzing the current situation and predicting future trends, making appropriate analyses of the relationship between the two major powers.
However...
At this moment, Justin’s face suddenly changed.
He angrily slammed the table.
"Unbelievable! This is outrageous!"
Others were startled by his sudden outburst and looked at Justin in surprise.
They didn’t know what had happened to make this powerful leader of the Alliance of Gods so furious.
Fuming with anger, Justin gritted his teeth and said, "Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! The audacity of that insignificant Waldo! Not only did he refuse to surrender, but he also attacked the people I sent out!"
"Do you think this is still your era? Your time has passed! How dare he be so brazen! He’s digging his own grave!"
Justin was seething with uncontrollable rage.
Because just now, he received news that made him furious.
The envoy he had sent was killed directly by Waldo.
What audacity! He even dares to kill a member of our Alliance of Gods! If that’s the case, then be prepared to face the boundless wrath of the Alliance of Gods!
Justin gritted his teeth.
The other controllers witnessed this scene.
Immediately, hushed discussions broke out.
"Waldo? Ridiculous, just a insignificant figure! I might have feared him before, but this is the era of alliances. He’s nothing more than a clown."
"Indeed, anyone who dares to kill us is just asking for death. Previously, we considered sparing the others on the Dawn, but now it seems unnecessary! Just kill them all!"
"Agreed!"
The other controllers present sneered.
Though individually they were of average strength and would not be a match for Waldo one on one, they were now part of the Alliance of Gods, a formidable force. They might be wary of the equally powerful Victory Alliance, but they would not fear Waldo.
"Waldo? He disappeared for a long time. I didn’t expect that as soon as he reappears, he’s desperate for a death wish. If he dies, it’s his own fault!"
Somebody sneered.
He had once been from the GMT+8 time zone and had known Waldo for a long time.
Now, he was almost overjoyed.
Soon, the group began to discuss how to deal with Waldo.
For matters like this, they followed a certain process.
In the end, the decision rested solely with Justin.
Ultimately, Justin slammed the table and declared, "Waldo completely disregards our Alliance of Gods, is arrogant and wicked. Not killing him would not quell the anger of the masses! Therefore, Waldo must die!"
"Starting from now, a death warrant is issued for Waldo!"
"Anyone associated with Waldo must die!"
"No faction, no individual is allowed to provide any form of assistance to Waldo! Otherwise, they will be considered enemies of the Alliance of Gods, and we, the Alliance of Gods, will spare no effort to eliminate them!"
Soon, the Alliance of Gods issued a bounty notice on the chat channel, declaring a hunt for Waldo.
"Anyone providing information or leads about Waldo will receive experience point rewards ranging from one thousand to one hundred thousand. If you manage to kill Waldo, you will receive a one-time reward of five hundred thousand experience points and one thousand evolution points!"
As soon as this bounty notice was released, the system’s chat channels and major forums exploded with activity.
