Legacy of the Betelgeuse

We all are looking at Yoona who is nervously looking at Cho Ahn. I wonder why is she doing that in the first place. If it\'s just to make the Black Shadow Clan looks bad in the community, that\'s a bit too extreme and if it backfired at her, she will not be the only one who will look bad in the community, but also Cho Ahn and his clan. The only thing that comes to mind is that Yoona might have a grudge with Ken or someone from his raid teams.

Yoona shakes her head repeatedly.

"I still believe with what I saw that day!"

Cho Ahn looks at Yoona.

"Are you sure? You\'re not making things up, aren\'t you?"

Yoona changes her expression as soon as she heard what Cho Ahn said. She glares at Cho Ahn.

"Oh, wow. You\'re doubting me now even though you never did before? I see you don\'t want to lose face and now pointing your finger at me as well."

Yoona stands up and looks at Ivonna.

"You want me to defend myself? Knowing that all of you are already pointing your damn fingers at me? F*ck that! It\'s useless to defend myself if I have nobody on my side!"

Yoona glares at Cho Ahn one last time and then leaves the forest. We are all watching Yoona leave the forest and then she\'s followed by her clan members leaving this area. Francesca and Ivonna are looking at each other and smile while shaking their heads.

Cho Ahn stands up and looks at Ken.

"It seems that everything is just a misunderstanding."

Ken is glaring at him.

"That doesn\'t mean that you are forgiven. You slander us as a traitor and thanks to that woman, you all indirectly defaming the Black Shadow Clan because of that. Do you think just saying it was all just a misunderstanding will solve all the problems?"

Francesca looks at Ivonna and then puts her hand on Ivonna\'s shoulder.

"Let\'s move asides, this is no longer our business. Anything else that is happening right here and right now is all depend on those two parties\' decision."

Ivonna nods and then they both walk toward me. Ken is still glaring at Cho Ahn. We all can tell by Ken\'s expression that he will remember this moment and puts it deep down into his heart. A grudge against Cho Ahn until the rest of his life.

Cho Ahn bows down at Ken.

"We will make our apologies video and we will publish it to the world. We will also tell the truth about this misunderstanding and about Yoona\'s wrongdoings."

Ken shakes his head.

"We are hurt from what you did to us and we have a grudge against you and your clan, but we are not that kind of person of wanting another person to suffer if it\'s not by our hands. Just tell them that everything is just a misunderstanding, but don\'t expose the whole truth about that woman\'s wrongdoings because we will do it in our own way."

Cho Ahn is glaring at Ken. The atmosphere is intensified again. Aspen is chuckling and smiling.

"That\'s badass..."

Michael is shaking his head while putting his hand on Aspen\'s shoulder.

"Dude, don\'t encourage them like that."

Aspen is just smiling at him. I sigh and turn around.

"Well, they can do whatever they want as long as other innocent players are not getting involved by their action. But I think that won\'t be a problem since they both are aware of that. Honestly, it\'s such a waste for both of them to be enemies. They could achieve a lot of things if they can work together."

Leonardo nods in agreement.

"Yeah, it\'s none of our business after all. You\'re right about that as well, they both seem to be good players, but unfortunately, they had to be on each other\'s bad sides."

Francesca then looks at us.

"Alright, since our job is done, let\'s get out from here. I want to watch Kingstar and the others."

We all nod and then leave the forest. I look back once more and they both are still glaring at each other and being sarcastic with each other. Thankfully that it\'s only us in here, if those players from both clans were listening to all that, everything might have gotten worse.

We are watching Kingstar and Queenstar. They both already defeated the Hecatomb Arachnes, and now they\'re attacking Garrison Arachne. It seems that they\'re doing the same strat as we did back then. Since their levels are higher than us from back then, their damages are quite high even though their [Berserk] stack got reset every hour. Diamond, Lothair, Boschwell with their men are attacking the other mini-bosses while Alec and the other commanders are luring Queen Arachne away from Kingstar and Queenstar.

We are having fun watching Kingstar and the others fighting Queen Arachne and her mini-bosses, but then the troublemaker is back. Aksevel and all his clan members are messing with the players again. Those guys just don\'t learn from what just happened to them earlier. Aksevel is summoning his minions again and starts to disturb Alec and the others.

Ivonna sighs.

"Should we take care of them this time?"

Francesca is humming in agreement.

"Yeah, let\'s do that."

Aspen is approaching Ivonna while smiling.

"We would love to help you with that."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Thanks."

Everyone is running toward Aksevel\'s clan members while I\'m on my own sitting under the tree while enjoying the view. Then I hear a rustling sound coming from far behind me. I look around and there\'s a long white-haired player sneaking towards me. As soon as he sees me staring at him, he raises his hands and smiles.

"Hello!"

I furrow my forehead and keep staring at him. I know who is this player is. I smirk and chuckle.

"You almost got me there. That new look suits you very well, Becker."

Becker clicks his tongue and scratches his head.

"How can you tell?! I tried my best to look nothing like myself! I spent hours just to make this and you can tell in just a few seconds that I\'m Becker is quite saddening."

I chuckle and shake my head.

"I know your body posture and how you stand. But, the most obvious one is your voice. You should have changed your voice as well, that might fool me."

Becker is humming with understanding. He sits next to me while looking at Kingstar and he\'s smiling happily to see all the players working together to defeat the world boss. But then he\'s furrowing his forehead with disbelief. He looks at me while pointing at Ivonna and the others fighting with other players.

"What the hell is going on over there?!"

I sigh and shake my head.

"I guess I have to explain it to you from the beginning."

I tell him the story from where I meet Aksevel in real life, to the PvP event, then to the Skirmish event and the auction. I tell him that Aksevel got the Septia\'s Grimoire and what he has achieved from just using that weapon. Then I continue to talk about his and his clan members\' behaviors because of that. Becker is nodding with understanding.

"Wow... I thought those kinds of people only exist in novels..."

I smirk and look at Becker.

"You have no idea what kind of people exist outside your shell, Becker. Those kinds of people are a lot in real life and there are a few more people that are worse than those guys."

Becker is looking at them and then looks at me.

"Should I implement a new system that players would get punished heavily for PK-ing other players? This game is like a second life like you said to me earlier. People would want to enjoy the game and just have some fun, but those people will be ruining their experience in this game and slowly it will affect the game."

I tilt my head.

"Well, if you can do that without decreasing the population of the players in the game, that would be great. I bet those players are just pouring their stress from real life by doing so, and some are just pure trolling those players and make them mad for fun. You should discuss about it with Sev, and then she will propose it to Jason and the higher-ups."

Becker nods with understanding.

We are about to discuss implementing a new system, but then Emma and William come back and look at Becker. It surprises both of us and we both look at Aksevel and his clan members, there\'s nobody else but Aksevel over there, and he\'s surrounded by Ivonna and the others. It seems that Ivonna is having a conversation with Aksevel.

Becker stands up and waves at them. Emma and William are smiling at him. Emma is pointing at Becker while looking at me.

"Who is he? Your friend, Trev?"

Becker nods and smiles.

"Yeah! It\'s nice to finally be able to meet you both. My name is Maxwell!"
