Chapter 1035: Who Did This?
Chapter 1035: Who Did This?
As Natasha held a prideful grin expression, she was clueless that Xu Feng had already taken multiple pictures of her.
The picture depicted how she came out of the training hall chamber refreshed.
With such a great angle picture, Xu Feng decided to reveal bits of truth to Natasha. She was going to learn about how much of a sensational she had become, so he might as well spill the beans.
"I didn’t know you hailed from the Illuminati, Natasha. It was a good thing that you weren’t petty, otherwise, I really fear for my life." Xu Feng exclaimed loudly.
Initially, Natasha was still basking in the fact that her combat experience and perception had improved by leaps. But after hearing Xu Feng’s exclamation, especially the part where her affiliation was revealed, her expression quickly took a sharp turn.
"Who are you, Nathan?" Her eyes turned fierce as she glared at Xu Feng. Her affiliation was a secret, and she made sure to not slip up at all. So to suddenly hear him exposing her was equivalent to an undercover police officer being exposed by the target she was investigating.
It was hard to not think that someone might have betrayed her or that the person in front of her was dangerous.
"Geez, what’s with the fierce glare?" Contrary to her reaction, Xu Feng remained the same and said, "Your affiliation is exposed in the Game Forum, and thanks to you, I also became a person of interest."
"The Game Forum?" Confused, Natasha hurriedly opened the Game Forum to check what was going on.
In less than a few minutes, her expression turned complicated.
"Damn it, who was the one that snapped these pictures?" Natasha stomped the ground angrily and realized her inbox was filled with many messages. To prevent any distractions and ensure her concentration was high, she turned off notifications.
Moreover, doing so would make the immersion greater than ever. After all, every training usually meant turning off any sort of distraction.
Yet who could have imagined that this action resulted in such a huge mess?
Not to mention, based on the angles of the pictures taken, Natasha was certain it was discreetly snapped and the culprit wasn’t Kailey or Nathan.
However, she still couldn’t voice out all doubts that they might have a hand in this post. It was just that she refused to believe her identity was exposed and learned by the Vanguard Guild from the start when she kept her journey hidden.
If anything, Natasha suspected a mole in the Reaver Guild instead.
’That useless heir is really trashy. A top secretive meeting and he can have some traitors inside it.’ Her displeasure with Gao Zhong only increased further the more she thought about this possibility.
Given Gao Zhong’s track record of repeated failures, it was hard for her to not be prejudiced and think of the former as a useless heir. One that shouldn’t even be in control of anything significant.
Be not afraid of a strong enemy, but definitely be afraid of having a pig teammate.𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
And right now, Natasha was prone to believe Gao Zhong was precisely a pig teammate who would only drag her and the Illuminati down.𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Of course, this still stemmed from the fact that Natasha needed a scapegoat to shift the blame over. As if she would accept any punishment because of these ridiculous posts.
In the blink of an eye, Natasha replied to her superior that her identity was most likely leaked by people in the Reaver Guild. To further emphasize her point, she listed everyone who was present in the meeting room.
Her superior, despite feeling frustrated that their affiliation and deep plan were exposed, still chose to side with Natasha. After all, Natasha’s track record had always been flawless.
It was hard to imagine that she would suddenly be so careless and allow others to investigate her background so extensively unless one of their recent takeovers was incompetent.
And who else but the Reaver Guild was the most incompetent one ever since it had an heir leading it?
Once that was done, Natasha turned to Kailey and demanded, "I hope the Vanguard Guild can give me an explanation for this series of screenshots made. How can anyone be allowed to take candid photos of players in your town and spread malicious false rumors?"
Upon hearing that, Kailey nearly called her shameless on the spot. What malicious false rumors?
Nearly everything was confirmed by other players, but Natasha still claimed to be innocent. Not to mention, she was definitely a spy who came to infiltrate their town.
How could she still behave as if she was in the right?
Luckily for Kailey though, she didn’t need to suppress her anger when Xu Feng took the lead.
"Wow, you sure are shameless." Xu Feng exclaimed loudly. "I thought I was shameless enough, but you topped it off. The post mentioned that the Illuminati was behind Reave Town which specifically targets Haven Wind Town. And you are from the Illuminati.
"So what?" Natasha shrugged and stated, "Just because I’m from an organization, I’m automatically alienated? I was impressed with the Haven Wind Town’s facility and even paid upfront to use them."
"Ah, you mean keeping a tab and being on a high interest rate?"
"Shush, that’s not the point!"
Knowing that Xu Feng was just trying to rile her up, Natasha ultimately ignored him and glanced at Kailey.
"Did the Vanguard Guild place a ban on Illuminati people? Or did the Vanguard Guild declare that Illuminati people can’t come to the town or join their chamber of commerce?" She raised a series of questions.
"No, we didn’t." Kailey shook her head.
"Then shouldn’t there be some compensation for the damages done to me"
"Unfortunately, we can’t possibly restrict a player’s ability to take pictures in public space. Since the Illuminati owns a town as well, then I’m sure you know such features are simply impossible."
"..."
Instantly, Natasha’s face darkened as she realized Kailey’s words were logical. ’Damn it, I really lost a lot today! Whoever did this will suffer my wrath!’
