Chapter 230: - Meeting the Shadow Wolves



"Shadow Wolves?" Broken repeated the name of the guild the mage had mentioned.

It was a guild currently on the opposing side of the Ass Guild. They had two Gluttony champions and were intent on summoning a named demon to seize the crown from the rightful heir, Princess Alora.

"What do you want from me?" he asked quietly.

"Sorry, sorry for the sudden approach," Subaru said, lowering his head with a light laugh. "I assure you, I come with good intentions." He raised his head again, smiling brightly. "Please, I'm doing my best to show you there's no ill will." He then grinned wider. "Can't you tell how friendly I am?"

Broken gave Subaru a more serious look. "Tell me what you want, or I'll leave."

"Ah, haha," Subaru laughed nervously. "Okay, okay."

He continued, "Alright... I apologize if my presence is too abrupt, but I would like to extend an invitation on behalf of our Guild Master, Paul. He wants to discuss something with you. I understand if you have some doubts, but I can guarantee with my life that you're in no danger. Even though Shadow Wolves and the Ass Guild are on opposing sides, you're not part of that guild, so we really have no serious problem with you."

"What does he want from me? What kind of topic does he want to discuss?" Broken asked, his curiosity piqued.

Subaru tried to hold back his laughter and responded in a calmer tone. "He mentioned that he has a really good offer for you, something big, and it won't take much of your time—just about 30 minutes, no! Only 10 minutes. Are you interested?"

"An offer?"

Sensing Broken's hesitation, Subaru quickly reassured him. He then pulled out a magic staff from his inventory and handed it to Broken.

"This is my level 200 magic staff, my main weapon as a mage. You can hold this as a guarantee that I'm serious about this discussion. Does this convince you? But please, return it once the discussion is over, okay?" he said with a hesitant smile.

Broken examined the Epic-grade magic staff carefully. He weighed the invitation in his mind, wondering if meeting with the Shadow Wolves would be considered a breach of agreement with the Ass Guild. But after all, it was just an invitation, and he had no idea what they might be offering him. There was no harm in at least hearing them out, and it could be a good opportunity to get to know the potential enemy better.

Plus, this would be his first encounter with another Divine Champions, especially one from the Gluttony faction.

"Alright," he finally said, looking up at Subaru. "I'll hear what your Guild Master has to say. But I'm keeping this magic staff until the meeting is over."

Subaru's face lit up. "Great! Follow me. It won't take long," he said eagerly, leading the way.

Subaru chatted away several times with his peculiar, fidgety style. "I saw you in the competition with the Legendary-grade spear... hehe," he said awkwardly.

Marlene cautiously asked, "Would you mind if I ask you some questions until Paul arrives?"

"Yeah, but I can't promise I'll answer all of them," Broken replied.

Marlene smiled and nodded slowly. "I'm sure you're a remarkable person, given the recognition and achievements you've accumulated in such a short time. Could you tell me

what you hope to gain from playing this game?"

Broken paused for a moment, considering the seemingly casual question. What kind of question is that? He thought it was too random, but he tried to figure out where Marlene was heading with this conversation.

He replied, "I thought playing Immortal Legacy was a way to escape from reality," he said

slowly.

He continued, "But, over time, I've realized it has become my second world—one that has enriched and improved my life in the real world. This game has become my life, and I am looking to gain pleasure and achieve great heights-something I will strive for with all my effort and determination."

Marlene smiled warmly. "You must be very determined and hardworking," she said. "It seems like we have a lot in common-we both want to make the most out of this game and

strive for greatness."

"That's good to hear," he replied. "I think there are many people out there who have made Immortal Legacy their second world."

Marlene spoke slowly, her tone measured. "Am I right to assume that you will do whatever it takes to make yourself happy and to feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Broken began to feel wary, sensing that Marlene was trying to steer him toward a specific line of thinking or had an agenda she wanted to push.

"Your statement is quite absurd. I want to be happy... No, not happy-more like content. But I don't think of doing anything without considering the freedom of others around me, except if they come first and try to disturb my peace. I believe those are two different things."

Broken lifted his head, now meeting her gaze directly. "But," he continued, "care to enlighten me on where you're headed with this, Marlene? I know you're trying to lead me to a topic of discussion, and I prefer straightforward conversations." Marlene chuckled softly and looked into his eyes with a relaxed yet intense expression. "I'd

like to hear what you think about Princess Alora as the crowned princess who will soon become the ruler of the Dissidia Kingdom. I assume you've interacted with her directly,

right?"

"What kind of answer are you looking for?" he asked, pressing further. "Please be specific."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
