"William asked you to stop… Me?!!!" she got shaken from deep inside, felt like she fell from the seventh heaven into the deepest abyss and hell.
"Not you, but against everyone," John saved her from the torture she just experienced for few seconds, "he wanted me to help in balancing out things. And here I am…"
"Why are you contacting me then?" she icily said, and then she heard his idea. When she heard about what he intended to do, she first cursed him out loud, called him a crazy person, infected with William perhaps. Yet when he explained further, she started to grow silent and calm.
"Brilliant! I like that idea of yours, hahahaha!" she finally got why he contacted her, "but you do know that boss won't be happy about this, right?"
"Who is the person you are calling boss?" her uncle asked, teasing her even if he knew who she meant by her words.
She looked at her uncle, rolled her eyes, before returning to speak with John who just said:
"You don't know the boss that much yet, but his most hated enemies are those dark masters. Even if I acted against his orders, he won't get that mad when he knows what we did here and at other places…"
"Other places? No, you are going to stick by my side for as long as this contest lasts!"
"This…"
"If you dared to walk away, I'll order my men to capture and imprison you, hahahahaha!"
"I now know you are the one who is going to win…" John bitterly said, and she laughed while taking his words in the wrong meaning.
"I'm a genius, right?"
"You are brutal, merciless, the same breed as boss…" but what he said made her freeze in place for a few seconds.
"You… Great! I swear if you dared to go away, I'll hunt you down even if Willy tried to stop me!"
"Who is Willy?" both John and her uncle asked at the same breath, making her evilly chuckle.
"William is mine, and I decided to call him Willy from now onwards," she laughed, while the two of them didn't know what they should respond with!
"Now, let's get down to business… When are you going to start?" she asked, and John told her all the specifics about what he intended to do from now onwards.
He had such a great idea when he came here. He saw tons of dark masters fighting against normal masters literally everywhere in the forest. So he started to consider this as a main fort of the dark forces. And he was quite right in his guess.
This place was considered one of the few main forts which would control the entire dark forces in the entire continent. It was filled with tons of strong dark masters, formidable monsters, and tons of dark masters and monsters lying everywhere around.
Trying to take this place down was the long dream of masters living anywhere close to here. And yet this wasn't something that could happen, even if the three kingdoms united their forces together to take these dark masters down.
And so John had such an idea, a crazy idea actually. He wanted to be the Trojan horse in all this, infiltrate the dark master forces, lure them towards places where deadly ambushes were. At the same time, he would arrange things with Anjie, letting her reap lots of credit for taking down these despicable masters.
It might seem great and such, but it was still quite hard to execute, very dangerous actually. Yet he was willing to take the risk. He also agreed with her that at any given time, if he sent a distress signal, she had to respond and come to extricate and save him.
"I'm curious, how will you convince them about your identity as a dark master?" she finally asked, and he laughed as he explained how he learnt all this from.
"You didn't meet Ibra for long, hahahaha! He is someone who uses the darkness element, very cold and arrogant. I bet if you met him in a place away from your boss, you would instantly suspect he is a dark master in disguise!"
"Oh, your team has a darkness element master? That's interesting…"
"What? Don't tell me you don't know!"
"Know what?"
"Hahahaha! Your Willy is also a darkness element master, hahaha!"
"..." she froze this time for an entire minute, before adding in doubt and confusion, "he used lightning elements, how come he has a darkness element as well?!!!"
"That's how he is, hahahaha! Isn't it interesting?"
"It… Is…" she was still finding it hard for a single master to have two opposing and extremely hostile elements like that. And on top of that, he was someone who kept doing miracles all the time.
"Are we going to do it or what?" John asked, and she got jolted awake at once.
"Sure, I'll deploy masters to always be near you. If you feel any danger, then just inform me first and you'll get saved in one hour."
"Deal!" John stored away her Message Paper, then went to a secluded area, changed his outfit, before headed directly deeper into the forest.
The moment he spotted movement, he started to run, acting as if he was in distress.
"Who is chasing you?" The moment he did that, a group of dark masters appeared. They were all wearing cloaks, hiding their faces and appearances. They didn't ask about his identity, or which dark force or family he belonged to. They took him as one of them thanks to his outfit, blood covering him, and the way he ran when they spotted him.
They took him as one of their people, running for his life in the middle of all this mess like everyone else.
"There… There is a small group of masters who ambushed me…" he faked being out of breath, pointed towards a direction while leaning on his knees, as if he was resting.
