Chapter 240 The Head Crushing Machine and Fatale

Once Scarlet Bauhinia’s voice was heard through the channel, the group of people who were chit-chatting excitedly a while ago suddenly went mute. The hilarious topic of conversation initiated by Violet Orchid’s humorous activity thread instantly turned serious too!

But the timing was just right. Violet Orchid was concerned that the ever going jokes would delay the plan to save Xiaoxiao. She could not be more relieved that the channel had now gone quiet. She quickly elaborated, “I’m in Bailey Town now. There’s no need for you to come over, Clan Leader. It’ll be too bullish for you to get involved in this as the targets are just a bunch of players from a timid clan, plus a few others from the Holy Clan.”

“Bailey Town?” Scarlet Bauhinia sounded slightly surprised, but he did not seem to be too bothered. He was a little disappointed after Violet Orchid’s explanation and complied. “Alright then. You can bring along anyone you like.” He paused for a while, then continued, “Violet Orchid, bring along a Field Commander. Steel Dude, go along with her and give them a scare. Remember, there’s no need to hesitate just because your opponent’s from the Holy Clan or Netherspirit’s Claw. Kill whoever dares to lay a finger on our Clan. Those who have a bad mouth, take care of them too.”

Scarlet Bauhinia was truly the No.1 figure of the Bauhinia League. He kept his ruthlessness even when his opponents were from the Netherspirit’s Claw League…

Given the permission to kill, Steel Dude was overjoyed. He was more than willing to do the dirty work, thus he accepted the order happily.

Nevertheless, he wondered what the Leader meant by “go and give them a scare”. ‘Does my face look that frightening?’ (Steel Dude was actually the one who “specializes” in crushing Killer Bees’ heads in Killer Bee Valley)

Violet Orchid was satisfied with the personnel designated by Scarlet Bauhinia. Steel Dude was one of the Field Commanders of Bauhinia Clan. Although his ranking was rather low, he was well celebrated among the League members and was popularly known as the Head Crushing Machine!

As the name suggested, he was a combination of head-crushing and machine.

He was given such a nickname because firstly, he loved to crush his opponent’s head, be it a monster or a player’s. Secondly, he fought like a machine in any sort of battle. He was best known for his aggressiveness and brutal fight style. In Violet Orchid’s opinion, Steel Dude was the most suitable candidate who could effectively terrorize those Holy Clan members in Killer Bee Valley.

Subsequently, Violet Orchid selected several other accomplices that she known well and fought along before. Soon, these people appeared out of the Bailey Town’s warp portal one after another and walked up to her with warm greetings. Moreover, more than ten of those that arrived actually showed up without being asked. They must be either having hormonal disorders or too much time to spare.

Passersby near the warp portal were startled to see such a crowded scene—a crowd fully of Gold and Dark Gold Equipment owners. Besides, all of them were wearing the Bauhinia Clan insignia on their chest. This Bailey Town, best known for mining, was indeed visited frequently by many Master Players, but the sudden presence of so many powerful personnel from a single League still attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the attention of those from the Holy Clan. Their instincts told them that such a sudden appearance of a party from the more glamorous Bauhinia League in this remote town most probably had something to do with their Clan.

***

The Ron Couple got the news first hand, and both of them were utterly shocked!

Based on their observation in the past few days, they could roughly tell that Slayer’s Heart and Qin Ruo’s relationship was purely that of teammates, hence Qin Ruo was probably not a Bauhinia League member.

Furthermore, when they successively sent out two batches of people to intimidate Qin Ruo before this, he never called for backup. So obviously, Qin Ruo did not intend to make Slayer’s Heart his protector.

That was why they dared to act so recklessly in hunting Qin Ruo by using an inescapable plot.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Ruo was red-tagged, these powerhouses directly under the Bauhinia Clan, including Field Commanders and several better-known players, immediately came to Qin Ruo’s rescue…

The Ron Couple could not help but feel anxious about their arrival…

However, as Ron thought about Qin Ruo’s current red-tag status, a sense of cruelty flashed past his eye! He swiftly commanded every single Bandit near the town to set out and spread all over the corners, which could be potential hiding spots around Killer Bee Valley. He was certain that no matter how boastful the Bauhinia Clan was; they would not dare defend a red-tagged player under their watch! On top of that, Qin Ruo was not even a Bauhinia Clan member!

As long as they avoided a head-on conflict with Bauhinia, he did not think the latter would dare to provoke them. In case they did, he would then have the concrete evidence on their mischief, and could hence request the other four clans under Netherspirit’s Claw to declare war against the arrogant Bauhinia Clan by sending out the League Hunters!

***

Looking at the more than thirty outstanding comrades who arrived in front of her, Violet Orchid quickly briefed them about Qin Ruo’s situation. She also emphasized that this was simply a personal dispute. Those who were willing to stay would need to charge into Killer Bee Valley with her, while those who were reluctant to do so could turn back immediately.

But obviously, no one was going to leave!

While Violet Orchid was busy assigning the players into separate teams, a familiar voice was heard behind her, “Can I join the raid?”

A group of Bauhinia Clan members swiftly turned their heads following the familiar voice. They looked at the man who walked out from the warp portal and could not be more surprised, not even if the man was Scarlet Bauhinia…

“Why are you here?”

The gracious Violet Orchid was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the unexpected guest. The newcomer was the famous Field Commander who might not even answer to the Clan Leader’s order—the current No 1. Field Commander of the Bauhinia Clan, Homme Fatale!

Homme Fatale ignored everyone else’s shocked, dumbfounded expressions and shrugged while he walked over. “Am I not welcomed?”

“Well… no, of course not! You’re most welcome to join us! Let’s team up!”

“Shoo, shoo. Hi Fatale, please team up with me. After we help Sister Violet to settle the matter, let’s meet up at Moonlit Restaurant. What do you say? Don’t forget, you still owe me a date.”

Within the party, several girls called out to him with shining bright eyes. However, none of them dared to take the initiative and approach him. It was widely known that several obsessive girls had been chased away by him in the past simply because they were too clingy and annoying. Those girls, being heartbroken, were unable to recover from it for more than half a month. They were not going to be such a nuisance (although they were not too far from it)…

***

Violet Orchid felt ashamed by her friends’ comments and quickly walked over to drag Homme Fatale away from them. She asked him with a frown, “Why are you here?” She was definitely not one of those girls who were easily fascinated by Homme Fatale’s charm. The other girls would also never regard her as their imaginary love rival. The reason was actually rather simple.

Homme Fatale answered her question with a bright smile, “Because I missed you dearly, sister.”

Sister Violet Orchid was Homme Fatale’s biological sister. Hence, the other girls from the League would never envy their intimacy.

Violet Orchid rolled her eyes and glared at him. She ignored his smoldering eyes and rebuked him, “Darn kid, when have you ever been so kind to me? You better be honest, or else I’ll tell your fans about your bedwetting habit when you were still a child…”

Homme Fatale could no longer hold his cool once Violet Orchid revealed her trump card. He sighed pitifully and thought, ‘What else can I say when I have such a sister who doesn’t care about her brother’s dignity?’

“This matter… Is it related to that Tier 4 Aquamancer, Qin Ruo?” Homme Fatale answered his sister with a mysterious and thoughtful look.

Violet Orchid looked back at him suspiciously. “Who told you that?”

“No one. A few days ago, Scarlet and I were farming for the Evil Frost Tiger in Killer Bee Valley. Qin Ruo’s girlfriend, Xiaoxiao, also trains there every day. So, Scarlet immediately realized what probably happened when you mentioned Killer Bee Valley.”

“I see…” Violet Orchid frowned again. She then threw her brother a weird look. “But why do you have anything to do with this? Are you fond of other people’s girlfriends?”

Homme Fatale almost choked from his sister accusation. He returned her question with a speechless glare. ‘Why would I do such a thing? Me, Homme Fatale, robbing another’s loved one? Are you kidding me?!’

“If not, why are you so passionate about another person’s business all of a sudden?” Violet Orchid gazed at her brother closely. He was usually a grim and uncaring person.

Seeing that Violet Orchid was not going to let him dodge easily unless she was given a reasonable explanation, Homme Fatale admitted defeat and told her about the previous encounter he long felt ashamed of. He purposely lowered his voice and spoke softly, “Don’t tell other people about this. Qin Ruo’s girlfriend, the Tier 3 Aquamancer named Xiaoxiao, rejected an invitation from me and Scarlet to join our League not long ago…”

“Ahhh!” Despite being prepared to learn the big secret, the news still greatly surprised her, and she exclaimed unbelievably.

‘Scarlet Bauhinia and Homme Fatale invited Qin Ruo’s girlfriend to join the Bauhinia Clan?!

‘What’s even more shocking is, someone in this H&G world actually rejected Scarlet Bauhinia’s invitation! Moreover, she could be the first girl that didn’t fall for my brother’s charming outlook, thus rejecting his invitation too…

‘Also, she’s just a Tier 3 Aquamancer!’

Violet Orchid suddenly felt that she had just gained a better trump card than her brother’s bedwetting story! ‘Hehe!’

She suddenly harbored a great curiosity toward this mysterious girlfriend of Qin Ruo’s…

‘Xiaoxiao… What kind of girl is she? How did she manage to attract Qin Ruo, who’s almost immune against pretty girls… She even dared to reject both Scarlet Bauhinia and Homme Fatale. Today’s truly a remarkable day.’
