Chapter 674 Come in

Liam completed another training cycle and tried to recall what he knew about this particular follower while Alex arrived at the divine city as he instructed her to do.

The thing was, this particular follower was a bit complicated. Unfortunately, this was the only information he had regarding any followers, as only this person was stupid enough to give all the details to the mass public. If only there were more boastful players, his life would have been a lot easier.

"I am here, Liam." Alex heaved, almost racing to the place.

"Good. Now search for a small orphan girl. She could be anywhere in the city. This is all the information I have."

"What? What am I supposed to do with an orphan girl?"

Liam chuckled. This part was actually a bit cliche, and he cringed even as he was explaining. "A divine temple priestess discarded the child. It's her child. If anyone from the temple knew that she was unfaithful, she would be punished, so she threw out her own kid."

"I came to know from an NPC that this kid was very talented, perhaps on the same level as Mia. If you can sweet talk this kid, then she should easily become your follower. She could be a pocket healer to Asura, and together those two would be able to wreck the other side's numbers.

Alex grinned. That indeed sounded amazing. She immediately started looking around busily, on the streets, in alleys, near dumpsters, and on the backroads. She started searching every inch of the city.

Meanwhile, Liam was already working on the other thing on his mind. He contacted a certain someone who was recently conducting trades with his guild regularly.

"Boss! Of course, I will deliver. When you are asking, how can I refuse? I will get to work on it ASAP!" Madan immediately replied back. "Boss, I can also join the guild temporarily and quit after the war?"

Liam chuckled and instantly stopped that train of thought. "That would not be necessary."

After that, the next item on his agenda was once again related to supplies. He opened up the list of newly recruited or rather newly groomed crafting players and started going through their names one after another.

In all honesty, Liam did not expect much from this. It was just a last-ditch attempt to see if there was anything that he could pick up on, any special names that he could recognize.

"Oh, while I am at it. I should just go ahead and check the whole guild rooster." Liam dove into the long list of names and buried his head in the deep end.

At first, his speed was good, but after the first hundred names, everything started to look the same. So he started alternating between training and looking at the names.

Eventually, he gave up because it did not look like it was going to amount to anything. He closed the guild rooster and decided to focus on the last and final trump card he had.

Liam closed the system interface and saw the old elf was not back yet. He then hurriedly logged out of the game. For the last and final trump card, he actually had to step outside of the game.

"Yawn. This is going to be brutal." He stretched his limbs as he stepped out of the game capsule. There was a reason why he did not plan on doing this just yet, but now that things had escalated so much, there was no point holding back.

After getting out of the apartment complex, Liam hailed a cab and went directly to the nearby train station. He then got out after 5 stops at the next city, which was an hour away.

He once again hailed a cab to go to the outskirts of this city, where a small, run-down building was located in the less privileged part of the city.

It was a small building, but it was kept in immaculate condition and had an austere, dignified air about it. "Yup, this is it." Liam nodded.

He stepped inside, and immediately a young woman arrived at the door to greet him. "Brother, the dojo is not open now. The timings are on the notice board outside. Please come back later this evening."

"Ah, my bad." Liam smiled awkwardly, but he did not move. "I am actually not here for the dojo hours. I would like to meet with the elder, please. I have traveled a long way for this."

The hospitable attitude on the young woman's face immediately disappeared, and now there was a slight frown.

"Why? Why do you want to meet with him? Did you watch the movie Kung Fu Panda and come here or what?" Her brows knitted together, and she sternly looked at the young man in front of him.

He had a pale face, and clear skin, almost with no blemishes or imperfections as if he was a model, and his body also looked like he hadn't worked out a single day in his life. Why would someone like this want to meet with the Master?

"Idiot." She mumbled and turned around to leave. "Get out and clear the space. You can't meet the Master. Tch Tch." Nowadays, the wannabe crowd who wanted to learn something just to do a few poses for social media was on the rise, and all the idiots were falling into their dojo.

Hearing her, Liam did not look one bit disheartened. Instead, he revealed a polite smile. "Then in that case, may I challenge you to a dual?"

"What did you say?" The woman's eyes instantly widened in shock. "Are you serious? You are taking this to a whole new level! Why waste everyone's time like this?"

Liam simply continued smiling.

"You know what… this works out too." The annoyed, homely face of the woman turned into a wickedly mocking one as she cracked her knuckles and glared at Liam like a predator.

"Come in. Come in. I will gladly accept your challenge." She sneered and walked away, leading Liam inside.
