Chapter 214: New Trial, New Enemies (1)
While Adrian was preoccupied with isolation training, the world was in an uproar. The news of the White Tiger’s defeat by a mystery man had taken everyone by surprise.
Even though the White Tigers weren’t in the top ten guilds, it was only because they rarely did things like a proper guild. They were only interested in fighting strong individuals and often sought bounties for the same reason.
Obviously, there were no records of their ’Bounty’ business, but everyone working in the field knew about their underhanded dealings and their extraordinary success rate.
That’s why it came as a surprise when a little over fifty members of their clan were nearly beaten to death by a certain individual whose name no one seemed to recall.
While the media debated who the individual could be, James had never been so tense in his life because he knew who was behind all the mess.
’...I should have known something like this would happen,’ James sighed, taking out a cigarette from his pocket.
After having given up smoking for over three years, Adrian had brought James on the verge of starting it again. But James crushed it before heading back inside.
James didn’t know if Adrian’s actions were intentional, but he knew it was only a matter of time before the media put two and two together and realised Adrian could have done it.
’The problem isn’t the media, but the guilds who’ll see the news and start hounding us for his details. Hm... It’s going to get a lot busier here.’
