Chapter 375: Keep the Change Part III

“Now, it’s all done.”

A tall man with orange hair said, before blowing his mouth. He was standing among the blue army players who were standing around the Nemesis, outside the barrier.

“Chief Bhira, we’ve sent players to take over the mine now. Should they start casting the spell on the area right away?”

Suddenly, there was a man walking in to ask with an emotionless face, making the orange head turn to glance at him from the corners of his eyes. Then he nodded slowly in confirmation.

“Do what you have to do.”

He paused after speaking, before staring at the players from the red army that they had just captured in the barrier in front of him. He started counting approximately and believed that there were about 40 of them.

Seeing that, the man let out a long sigh.

“I remember telling you guys to capture them alive, didn’t I? The man named Bhira asked in a serious voice. His eyes glanced at his guildmates around, before continuing briefly. “Why are there very few of them left? Who told you to kill, hm?”

Getting scolded with that cold voice, many of them flinch. And seeing that, the man named ‘Bhira’ held his hand up to scratch the nape of his neck.

“You guys really don’t know how to hold back. For god’s sake, and I’m the one getting the blame, aren’t I?” He threw another complaint, then sighed out of his nose harshly. “By the way, which one is their chief? I think I told you to find them for me ages ago, too, right?”

“He’s here, chief Bhira.”

Who he was asking for suddenly arrived. Two blue side players had detained a man to him. The man had deep brown hair and a face that did not show any emotion, not even looking panicked or angry.

“A face like this, you’re Tunwa, field unit’s chief, right?”

Bhira said slowly, before signaling the two players to bring the important war prisoner closer.

“I see. You did some research.” Tunwa smiled softly, even though his hands were tied behind his back with a magic rope. Moreover, there was a large sword pointing at his neck as well. “But I’m sorry that I don’t know you at all. I hope you don’t mind that I lack social connection.”

Hearing that, Bhira raised his eyebrows like he was surprised.

It was surprising that in a situation like this, this guy was still making a cheeky face.

Did this guy not know fear, or did he lose his mind already?

But something for sure, the look in his eyes had not given up yet.

After thinking about that, Bhira curled up a soft smile, before walking toward Tunwa to meet him halfway.

“I got to admit that you’ve got quite a smart mouth.” Bhira complimented the other man honestly. “You look like a smart person, so you probably understand the situation right now, don’t you?”

“...”

Tunwa did not say anything in reply. He chose to look at his men who were blinking confusedly in the enemies’ barrier.

They lost.

From the very first battle, they got all screwed up so badly.

Thinking about this, Tunwa clenched his jaws, before turning back to stare at the enemy in front of him. Meanwhile, there were many pairs of eyes staring at him as well, not only from his guildmates but also from hundreds of enemies right here.

“Using those noobs as a decoy, as you all hid yourselves all along. Should I call that a brilliant plan, or a cowardly tactic? It sounds cool, but seeing it makes me want to throw up.”

Tunwa purposely and openly annoyed them. He spread a soft smile out wide like he was not bothered at all, which was remarkably effective on the enemies’ nerves.

“Still talking, even though he’s about to die, huh, this guy.”

“Should we deal with him now, chief?”

“It’s useless bringing him back to the base anyway, let’s finish him here.”

“That’s right. A sucker who fell for our simple trick and still got bold to call us cowards, he’ll just be using up the space in our prison for nothing, let’s kill him!”

With just a few provoking words from Tunwa, chaos started growing among them so easily. There was probably Bhira only, who did not go along with his words. He knew that Tunwa’s intention was to get them to kill him, so he did not have to be a war prisoner.

This one was the smart one, huh...

He acted like a low-ranked thug, but he was quite tricky.

After thinking about that, Bhira smiled knowingly, making Tunwa pause.

“Yeah, sorry that our plan was a bit too cowardly.” He said, shrugging. “But the cowardly plan always works, you know. So, from now on, please stay humbly and quietly as you follow us back to our base, will you?”

It did not work...

Tunwa ground his teeth. This guy knew what he was up to. If this was some kind of those slow brains, they would bite his bait after he annoyed them with a few more words. He had a face that was asking for the other’s kicks anyway.

Yeah, he got to admit that this Bhira guy was better than those.

He was the first one that Tunwa could not get on his nerves!

“Take our guest to sit and rest nicely. Looks like this prisoner is quite important. I heard that he’s close to Vincent, too.”

“Yes, chief.”

The players who were detaining Tunwa accepted easily, before pushing the brown-haired man’s back to walk back with dissatisfied faces.

After seeing the big mouth was taken to another corner, Bhira curled up a smile, looking pleased about it. He would have to wait until the effect of the com-jammer faded for a while before he could reach his main base to send some couriers in to carry these prisoners back.

Then Bhira started looking around like he was waiting for someone.

“Where’s Jade?” He spoke up softly. “Has anyone seen Jade? Where’s that guy messing around now? Why isn’t he working?”

He asked, gazing at his guildmates for the answer, but each of them kept shaking their heads in response, just like he was expecting.

“I’m here now. Can’t we part longer than a minute, Mister freaking Bhi?”

Suddenly, there was an annoying voice speaking up from outside the circle of the blue players. The rows they were standing in were parted, revealing a man with silver hair and indigo-blue eyes.

“Where have you been, Jade? We’ve handled the area already and you just showed up? Just you wait. I’ll report this to boss.”

“Yuh, yuh.” Jade waved his hand like he could not care less. “You tell boss on everyone about everything. I’m really curious if you tell him when you have a problem peeing, pooping, too.”

“Good one, you grizzled dog.”

Bhira talked back with a deadpan face, making the one who was implied to be ‘barking’ flinch and gaze at the other one with the same title intensely!

“Who are you calling a dog, huh? Also, my hair is not grizzled, but silver.”

“Yeah? From what I see, it is just grizzled hair. Wait, or could it be dog hair? It makes sense, there’re white dogs.”

Something in Jade’s brain snapped. He managed to walk toward the other chief like he was ready to fight anytime. His rough hand grabbed Bhira’s collar, not even trying to cover his emotion up.

“You wanna fight, grumpy face?” Jade shouted.
