Re: Evolution Online

"Heyo!" A bright smiling face greeted Lan Deming from a distance. The first thing that the assassin noticed was the bright smile, followed by the shiny bow on this person's back.

His own daggers were an ancestral heirloom and hence were of high quality, but the bow looked even more amazing. Just what sort of materials was it crafted from? Who was this person? Who were these people?

While he was standing utterly bewildered, the other party actually started running towards him. "I am Rey." He introduced himself.

Lan Deming was shocked to see that he was actually a foreigner. "Hello. I am Lan Deming. Please to meet you." He politely bowed back in response.

Rey gave him another one of his trademark happy smiles and then, without bothering to beat around the bush, directly asked, "Are you guys headed out somewhere?"

"Is this guy bothering you? Hi, I am Alex." From behind, another foreigner popped up. 

This time it was a beautiful red-haired foreigner. She had an aura about her that made Lan Deming keep wanting to look at her.

Ahem. Lan Fen had to remind him to cut it out. "Hello, I am Lan Fen. Pleased to meet you." She also introduced herself, jabbing her brother from the side. "Ah. Hi. Hi." Lan Deming awkwardly blurted out. The others standing around also vaguely murmured some greeting.

Alex first smiled and bowed slightly to return their gesture and then tossed a bomb at them. "I hope you don't mind. We decided to settle around here for a bit."

She adjusted her flowing red hair, tying it up into a ponytail. "Since the dungeon is close to this area, it will save us a lot of time if we temporarily lived near here."

Dungeon? Immediately the group became silent. What the hell was happening today? First, it was that person and now all these people? Where is everyone coming from?

Lan Fen was the first one to realize the obvious, and she parted her trembling lips to speak the obvious. "By any chance, do you happen to know Mr Liam?"

Before Alex could say anything, Rey jumped the gun first. "Yup. That's my big brother." He proudly announced. "He is the one who sent us all here!"

Alex pulled him back and shook her head. "Anyway, we have taken up enough of your time. So we will be leaving now. I hope we can continue to live together peacefully in this area."

The duo waved their hands politely as they walked away, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded men. 

Only just now, they had made several plans to secure their future, but someone had already thrown a wrench into the whole set-up. 

What were they supposed to do?

"Let's go back and report it to father." Lan Deming wryly smiled and turned around.

A couple of hours passed by, and soon it was nightfall. 

However, absolutely nothing had changed at all. More and more people were settling in on the street in empty houses and wherever they could find spots.

A while later, a huge group of people started moving, and the direction in which they were headed left little to the imagination.

"Father, it looks like they really want to just use the dungeon like they said." Lan Deming let out a sigh. The entire day they were on pins and needles, but nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Lan Fen did not want to deal with this anymore. She just wanted to head out for their own dungeon run. "While we are sitting around, the opponent is only becoming stronger." She reminded everyone.

"It's not that simple." Lan Ganjie looked out his window at the calm and peaceful road. By now, they had more information about everything and had even found out about the guild Crimson Abyss.

"Father, I really don't think their intention is to exploit us. Maybe Liam just wants peaceful cooperation."

"Hmmm. In that case, shouldn't he have led with that?"

"Maybe they were also sceptical like us?"

Lan Ganjie shook his head. "It doesn't matter. He has the strength here. If push comes to shove, we have no other choice but to obey his orders."

Unable to reach any conclusion, in the end, the group decided to send only half the members for their usual dungeon run, leaving behind the other half to guard the area. Not that it mattered.

Lan Ganjie already knew too well that no matter what they did, it was all useless. At this point, they really were at the whim of that single person.

If he indeed only wants them to cooperate with him, then it would be their lucky day.

The middle-aged man continued to look out the window, wondering what was going to happen tomorrow. He wanted to strategize and plan for the future, but what could he do?

As Lan Ganjie turned around and decided to get some shut-eye for an hour or so, a few figures moved under the shadow of the night. 

These figures had incredible agility and superhuman strength as they positioned themselves on several tall buildings spread across the city.

One of them specifically was stronger and faster than the others.

"Is everyone here?" She licked her lips and asked, her tongue forked at the end.

"Yes, boss. Everyone is here." Another figure standing next to her answered.

"Perfect." The woman nodded her head.

"Here I thought that it would be a waste of my time and talent to just deal with these few people but… Ha Ha Ha… somehow I see a lot more juicy blood bags."

"It's our luck that today several fat sheep have transported themselves right to our doorstep. Ha Ha Ha. Let's have a good hunt!"

The woman lifted the sunglasses that she was wearing, revealing a pair of dark crimson eyes. 

Under the glow of the moonlight, these eyes glimmered like shining, beautiful jewels. If one looked at them, they would probably be lost within them.
