Chapter 432: East Exit Gate
Chapter 432: East Exit Gate
Shortly after leaving the others in the dust at the Vanguard Hotel, Xu Feng swiftly made his way to the East Exit Gate.
Having arrived there, he was quickly greeted by someone with an uncanny manner once again.
Your next journey awaits at empire
"Hoho, isn't that my idol and guild leader?" The person laughed heartily as he turned to his companion, clad in tight leather clothes suited for an assassin.
"Catherine— I meant Crystal, did you see my Guild Leader?"
"Just choose one to call me and decide on that," His companion facepalmed.
"Eh, it's really hard to choose, Crystal— I meant Catherine."
"Why even bother correcting yourself over and over again?" Xu Feng suddenly chimed in as he felt helpless at him, who was none other than Ning Yi.
"If someone told you to call them by one alias, then make sure to stick to that and not have a slip of the tongue." He scolded and gave him a quick, hard smack.
Ning Yi was one of the few who knew his identity as Lin Feng since he was a trustworthy individual.
The only problem was that sometimes he would get flustered, so Xu Feng needed to give him a painful lesson to remind him not to do it again.
After punishing Ning Yi, otherwise known as Stylish Shooter in the Divine World, he turned to Catherine.
"Do you prefer me to call you Catherine or Crystal?" He calmly asked, feigning ignorance of knowing her.
Though it wasn't that far from the truth either since he only met with Catherine once during the time when he was buying some clothes while hoping to encounter Ning Yi.
Thankfully, Ning Yi wasn't gullible enough to seriously blabber everything out, even if he had a crush on Catherine. Therefore, Catherine didn't know she had already met and interacted with him before.
"Uhh, just call me Catherine. I doubt anyone would prefer calling me Crystal anyway." Catherine smiled awkwardly, and side glanced at Ning Yi.
And she continued, "But are you sure I don't need to join your guild to partake in the raid? I've heard from Stylish Shooter that your guild is very amazing."
"Indeed, you don't. Just remember to pay close attention when I give any instruction." Xu Feng nodded and warned politely.
Catherine's body stiffened up a bit, having felt an overwhelming pressure all of a sudden.
"What happens if I fail to follow it in time, Sir?" She asked nervously, addressing him as Sir rather than Guild Leader.
After all, she was not in his guild nor in any other guilds to be precise. She merely tagged along due to the insistence of Ning Yi.
"Relax, I won't bite at someone who was invited by one of my members." Xu Feng chuckled softly. For someone who was invited by him or his members, he naturally wouldn't expect much from them. Even if they were to mess up, the only fault he would find was those who invited them and not the invitee.
"Then thank you for letting me join." Catherine quickly bowed, behaving quite reservedly.
"Haha, Catherine, you don't have to worry too much." Ning Yi suddenly laughed and patted her shoulder lightly. "Guild Leader isn't someone unreasonable, and even if he must blame, I'm the one at fault."
Catherine merely gave an awkward laugh, clearly unsure of Ning Yi's promise.
Sometime later, more and more people arrived at the East Exit.
Xu Feng naturally wouldn't greet them all personally and be friendly compared to Catherine.
Instead, he simply delegated the task to OneManMedia to deal with them alone.
He was of a guild leader status after all.
Why should he do everything personally when he has his members or subordinates around?
As he was idling around, three people went toward him and bowed in reverence.
"Greetings Guild Leader." They greeted him respectfully.
"Hmm, you are…" It took a few seconds for Xu Feng to recall. "Oh, you're Lightning Blade, Skyfire Mist, and… who are you?"
Xu Feng recognized those two mainly because he had a chance encounter with them during the bounty hunt of the Reaver Guild. He assisted them briefly when they failed to find enough Reaver Guild members to kill due to their members going into hiding and offline.
"Reporting to Guild Leader, I'm FreeLancer, a Knight Lancer class." FreeLancer introduced himself and how he managed to earn a slot through an internal competition that Xu Feng impromptu held to fill in the empty slot.
After all, he had 10 slots in total counting him, so there would be 9 people remaining. Since Crimson Heart was occupied, Xu Feng had an extra 3 slots available, which were taken by these three.
The remaining 6 slots were taken by Carmen, her friend Veronica, Zhao Kai, OneManMedia, Ning Yi, and his crush, Catherine.
"I see, FreeLancer, right. I expect to see some good things in today's raid." Xu Feng lightly nodded, nearly mistaking his name as freeloader instead of freelancer.
"Guild Leader, where is Lunar Wraith?" Zhao Kai, otherwise known as Shadow Blade, inquired when he hadn't seen her yet. He had been immensely curious ever since he noticed there was another member with the same guild rank as him.
"What? Are you that eager to meet with our second Guild Commander?" Xu Feng teased him, taking the opportunity to relax a little bit. He doubted he could relax once the large-scale raid officially commenced. The scale of this raid was far more difficult than the Scorched Caverns.
In fact, when comparing the raid dungeon he was planning to do, the Scorched Caverns looked no different than a toddler.
"Oh come on, stop being so stingy and tell me when they will arrive." Zhao Kai frowned and glared at him.
"It will look extremely bad if our members are the last ones to arrive." He added, trying to add some pressure to cause him to be concerned.
"I wouldn't be worried about us looking bad because I'm sure they will make it in time. You are just being impatient." Xu Feng snickered and discreetly flashed him a middle finger
Infuriated, Zhao Kai's face turned beet red, and wanted nothing more than to give Xu Feng a punch to the face. "Has anyone ever told you that your face is very punchable?"
"Sorry, I'm wearing a mask, so how could anyone see my face?"
"You—" Speechless, Zhao Kai could only grumpily sit next to Xu Feng and wait.
