Chapter 86: Dangers
"Why are you so excited?" Erika asked seeing her sister's blissful expression.
"Nothing, come on." Maria was happy, not because Erika said Michael was different, but because her sister might have some feelings towards him. She wants her sister to be happy, but also have a good relationship with the other sex. Even if they could be just friends, she will be more than happy.
"Well..." Erika walked around the small sitting room. "I don't really know. When I first saw him in a game, the only thing in my head is to kill him, and nothing more. I even tried to--"
"--Thanks heavens you failed."
"I didn't fail, he just caught my Arrow. If I had used my explosive Arrows he would be dead by now." She sat down close to Maria. "What I am saying is... When he got the chance to kill me, he didn't... I thought he'll ask for my body or any other unthinkable thing to spare me, but he only said I should use my life card."
"How did he know you have Life card?"
"I don't know. He also said he's the richest player in VRG, I don't really believe that, he might just be bluffing."
"Is that all?" Maria asked, her word filled with urgency to know more.
"At the fine star restaurant, when I walked up to him. He didn't make fun of me or even look at me with lust as other men do, and his eyes are..."
"-- captivating?"
"What?! Forget all that." She stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Let me prepare something to eat, then we--"
BEEP!!
"A Guild War?" Erika was momentarily surprised. "Why would AI announce a Guild war?."
DING!!
Erika turned to Maria upon hearing her phone. Maria picked up the phone beside her and checked the message, Moment next; her eyes widened.
"Erika..." She looked up at Erika. "What's Michael's In-game name?" She asked.
"Supreme." Erika answered, not knowing why she asked, She walked back to Maria.
"Supreme is a member of The Conquerors." Maria passed the phone to her.
Erika took the phone, seeing the message on it. She looked up at Maria. "Why will the Viper Guild agree on a Guild War?" She remembered Supreme facing off against 10 Lv10 monsters, one even submitted to him. The Viper Guild will lose this battle.
"Should we go and watch?" Maria asked. "The message said, in one week from now, In the Stadium."
"If that is what you want, we'll go." Erika tossed the phone to the couch, and walked towards the kitchen.
Maria smiled and continued knitting the sweater in her hand.

SECOND CITY: LUNCHEON
DAMON'S HOUSE.
"Vice Guild master, you sent for me?"
Damon raised his head from the documents he was reviewing. "Any news from the Investigator, Mika?"
"Nothing at the moment, Vice Guild master."
Damon frowned slightly. Mika took a step back. "Don't worry, Vice--"
"What happened, that result to you sending an investigator?"
The two turned their heads to the door, A beautiful middle-age woman with long curly brown hair and silver eyes walked in slowly, she was putting on a long Navy blue trench coat. A black Queen cobra was on her shoulder staring at the two in the sitting room.
Damon stood up instantly, while Mika quickly greeted.
"Welcome, Guild master Venom."
"How are you doing, Mika?" She walked up to Damon, and gave him a kiss.
Mika just lowered her head not saying anything, everyone knew these two were lovers, even though she is 10 years older than him.
"What is wrong, My Love? You look furious." She asked, after separating from the kiss.
"I don't want to trouble you with my prob--"
"--Shhh" she placed her index finger on his lip. "Leave us."
Mika nodded. Without hesitation, she quickly left the house, technically... She ran out.
Only those closest to Venom knows how dangerous this woman was. To top it all, she is also a Diamond medal 3-stars holder.
"Now tell me."
Damon sighed. "My twin sister is dead, Rebecca. I was about to leave and investigate myself, but you sent these frustrating Documents for me to review. So I'd to send someone else."
"Oh my poor boy." She placed her smooth hand on his cheek. "Why didn't you tell me from the start? I would have let you go, or better; go with you."
Damon looked at her silver eyes, a little stunned. "Really?"
Rebecca smiled. "I would do anything for you, Watch." She raised her Diamond bracelet and said to AI. "AI, use my special Card and tell me who killed Sara Makion."
The two frowned deeply.
Damon: "Supreme? But how?"
"It's ok My Love, I will--"
BEEP!!
The Queen cobra got off her neck and slithered to the couch. It curl its body and close its eyes, going to sleep.
"Fufufufufu..." She chuckled.
"What is it?" Damon asked in mild confusion, he stared at the Cobra, then at her.
Why was she laughing after hearing the announcement?
"I have been keeping an eye on Supreme, he pushed me down on the ranking board placing me in top three." She stared at Damon's eyes.
"Change of plan, keep your anger in check. One week from now, we and the 10 elders will visit Amerisa, and see what this Supreme is capable of."
Damon nodded. "Thank you, but your special Card? That is the strongest Card in VRG, And you used it for me--"
"--Shhh... If you want to thank me, you know what I want."
Damon grinned. He raised his hand, slowly unstrapping her coat; after that he pulled it off her. Seeing the sexy thong underneath his grin widened.
He slowly pushed her down on the couch, then lowered his body on her; his eyes filled with lust.
"Kiss me, Damon"
He closed her lip with his, kissing her with both hunger and tenderness.

THIRD CITY: CAROTON.
In a huge mansion, two people sat on two opposite sofas, eating cookies and drinking juice, which was placed on the small center table between them.
"So daughter, Who injured Fifner?"
"Supreme, his pet Dragon's fire is too strong."
"Hmm, Fifner is a Stage 2 evolved, how can a Non evolved pet injury it so badly?" The man asked.
Nia placed the glass down. "I don't care about that, Father. I'm here to ask if you could use a card to track him?"
"I might be holding top 12 on the ranking board, but as a Father, I'll advise you... Leave Supreme alone."
"Never!!" She smashed her hand on the sofa hand rest. "He hurt Fifner, Father! I will make him pay for that!!"
"But Fifner is not dead, it can heal back."
"No--"
"Huh?" Nia was stunned.
DING!!
She brought out her phone. Seeing the message, she stood up. "Hahaha!! I don't need your help anymore, Father. He is in Amerisa. I will see you later." She quickly walked out.
"This girl."

FOURTH CITY: VALERIA.
Valeria is the fourth-strongest city ruled by three players, known as Senators to the world. These Senators were all Diamond medal players, holding top 5–7 on the leader ranking board.
SENATORS' COURTROOM.
The three sat on a round table, silently staring at each other. Around the room stood 30 red clad figures, all armed with samurai swords.
"What is the plan? Go to Amerisa to watch the Guild war, or stay here?" An Asian woman with long black hair asked the two men sitting with her.
"I say we go, but who'll look after the city?" An old man with long white beard stated his worries. This old man was the first senator.
"Two of you should go, I'll stay back." The third man looking his late 40s who was also Asian said.
The two looked at him In suspicion.
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."
Hearing his word, the two nodded.
"It's decided then, Yomi and I will be leaving after two days." The first senator stood up, instead to walk, he flew towards the exit.
"Yes, senator Rhodes." Yomi nodded. She turned her head to the third Senator. "What are you planning, Yang?" She asked coldly.
"Why are you always suspecting me?" Yang stood up. "And second, My plans don't concern you." He turned around and walked out of the room.
Yomi moved her gaze around the 30 men in the room and heaved a sigh.

FIFTH CITY: CASMIA.
Casmia, the fifth-strongest city. The smallest out of the five, this city was located deep in the mountains, ruled by a King.
Yes! A King! A diamond medal Holder. Top 8th on the ranking board.
THRONE HALL.
"My king--"
"I know what you are about to say general, Supreme is just another new player who won't last long." A middle-age man sitting on a golden throne with a crown on his head said to the blue hair man in Silver armor. A long sword handing on the man's waist.
"Aren't you curious about the first player who gained the highest score in VRG?" The general asked politely.
"Telling you the truth, I don't care." He said with a blank expression.
"What about our children? They have been talking nonstop about this Supreme." A woman in a red gown, with a crown on her head slowly walked inside the hall.
"Won't you fulfill their wish?" She added with a smile.
"Those two are always after something new." He sighed in annoyance. Seeing the stern look he was receiving from his wife, he sighed again.
"General, take 20 knights with you, make sure to protect the prince and princess."
"Yes my King." The general nodded, then bowed to the Queen. He quickly walked out of the throne hall.
The Queen walked towards her husband and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, Love."
"This is your idea, right?" The King heaved a sigh.
"Fufufufu... Nope, it's our children's."
