Chapter 541: Where Remorseless Warrior Lies

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Gold Digger Babe voiced her concerns, Violet Orchid nodded with a smile.

“That was exactly Remorseless Warrior’s condition to join our league. He said: If Qin Ruo could escape the Underworld before he creates his own league, he and The Executors will have to pledge their allegiance to us. They will become the fourth clan that will join our league.” As she spoke, her lovely eyes were looking directly at Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo, on the other hand, was pondering hard with a frown right across his brow. He knew Violet Orchid had hoped that he would contact Remorseless Warrior without blowing his cover...

As long as he was able to meet Remorseless Warrior, the formidable MVP clan and the Executors would undoubtedly become their allies.

However, Qin Ruo did not entirely agree to the plan of inducting them into their league.

The Executors were no pushovers, a case made obvious in their previous encounters with them in the Aricus Underground Ruins. Besides, Remorseless Warrior was a proud man; even planning to establish his own league. Indeed, The Executors were a formidable bunch, with a commendable potential. If they could recruit them into their ranks, it would turn their league into a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, Qin Ruo felt something was wrong. He felt it inappropriate to draft them in.

“Sis Violet, why them? Why The Executors?”

Qin Ruo looked at Violet Orchid inquisitively.

Brother Da and Dinosaurcerer were also curious. “Yeah. That Remorseless Warrior doesn’t seem like someone who would simply bow to anyone. He is by all accounts, a formidable prideful warrior, who takes no shit from anyone. What if in the future, he doesn’t see eye to eye with us? ”

“I understand your concern...”

Apparently knowing that they would be worried, Violet Orchid explained, “You are hoping that the other two clans act like they are family, like how we three clans are right now. I have to say that it just isn’t practical. Even back then, the Five Leagues were not as united as you thought. There were no clans that resembled us too—they just refuse to sit down and talk things out or to take on different responsibilities and to share their resources.”

“The Five Leagues had some internal conflicts. They were all different organizations in the first place. Naturally, you can’t expect the other clans to be loyal to us or obey our orders... this is indeed unwise and impractical.”

“This is what we should do: Find out what the other two clans can bring to the table and in turn, what we could provide them. It’s like a deal or a trade, but not necessarily a merger. We can’t simply expect them to be like us, or to act like family.”

As she was explaining, Violet Orchid drew five lines on the coffee table.

“It doesn’t matter if they decide to act independently. As long as everyone’s on the same page and they would come to our aid when our league gets threatened, that’s good enough for me.”

After hearing Violet Orchid’s words, Qin Ruo and the others finally began to understand how a “league” worked...

Slayer’s Heart then continued, “Violet’s right. The three of us established our clans during the fall of Moonrise City, and we were all formed from the same Party. That’s why we know, trust and rely on each other a lot. We’re like a family. Nevertheless, this is a rare occurrence. You don’t usually see this in H&G... What if we were to draft in two other clans into our league and expect them to be like us? That’s not going to happen.”

“We just need to make sure that there are no dead-weights amongst our ranks... and we should also be vigilant of the enemy’s spies and double-crossers. Otherwise, if the other clans fit the bill and their clan leaders are smart enough to handle their own men, I suppose that’s good enough for me.”

Slayer’s Heart then pounded on the coffee table heavily and continued, “The Executors are powerful. There is however, no bad blood between us and them. Besides, they’ve got over one hundred fifty thousand Honor Points. That would make them a great addition to our league.”

After hearing all these, Qin Ruo finally nodded.

“Okay.”

If the Executors and they were to be on the same page and would aid each other in dire situations, there was certainly no reason to exclude them out. There was no need to have too much contact with them too for it was all just business. Besides, if things did ever go south, the Fallen Angels, Bauhinia, and Violent Army Clan were capable of handling things on their own.

“I’ll contact him.”

Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart threw a glance at each other, feeling relieved.

If Qin Ruo agrees, then Remorseless Warrior was now officially inducted into their league. Now, all that was left was to decide was who to draft in for their final slot...

“Sis Violet, could you get in contact with the clan leader of the Ascendant Saber?” said Qin Ruo who immediately recommended Ascendant Saber before Violet Orchid could bring out her suggestion.

Realizing everyone’s suspicion of this sudden proposal, Qin Ruo took to explaining frankly:

“The Ascendant Saber has been looking after one of my little friends. They seem nice. And therefore, I think they’d make a good fit for our league.”

“Right. Ascendant Saber it is then.”

As there was no valid reason to refuse the Ascendant Saber, Violet Orchid agreed almost immediately. Next, Violet Orchid continued on to the final agenda of the meeting. “Now, as for the clan that’ll be the League Master of our league... After much discussion with Slayer’s Heart, we have decided this should be given to the Fallen Angels. Your clan has surpassed us in fame and reputation, and you are quite a celebrity yourself. Therefore, it’s only natural that the Fallen Angels be the League Master.”

This time, Qin Ruo did not reject the idea. Not even was he slightly surprised that Violet Orchid made this decision.

The Bauhinia League and The Fallen Angels League. The former carried the glory of the past while the latter was the one that symbolizes the future of the Angel Faction—one that provided hope and vibrance for the faction’s prosperous growth. Violet Orchid must have had thought this over through and through.

However, Qin Ruo cared nothing about this “League Master” thing. To him, the duty of a League Master was probably not unlike his duty as his clan’s leader—just delegating responsibilities to his men. That was all. Not that it was even a hard thing to do...

***

Remorseless Warrior’s mood had been unstable as of late.

As he watched the leaderboard for the Honor Points, his mood was got grimmer and grimmer by the minute. “Leagues” was now the trending word that popped up in almost every casual conversation at Moonrise City. Since it’s fall, no one had mentioned this word.

A “League”: The super war machine that surpassed any form of organization in the game.

The League Master! That would be the highest form of honor for a player.

This was also the dream that every player worked day and night to realize.

Similar was the situation of Remorseless Warrior...

Yet, he was a smart individual. And a smart person would always calculate and consider his own assets and future. The Executors were definitely formidable, rising quickly to be one of the Top Three new MVP clans.

They were, however, not ready yet if they wanted to contest to be part of a League... To begin, The Executors lacked experience. They did not have many Tier 5 veteran champions. They needed more experienced veterans like Netherclaw, Scarlet Bauhinia or Winter Demon, making this was the biggest obstacle for The Executors to become a League.

They had no Tier 5 veterans of their own and even if they drafted other clans to be part of their league, they would not be able to collaborate well with the clans they drafted in. Each clan within the league would fight among themselves, like the Twelve Zodiacs from the Demon Faction.

Remorseless Warrior would not allow his clan to be torn by these jokers.

However, he could also not bring himself to join the other existing powerful clans.

Indeed was the fact that Netherspirit’s Claw had thousands of Tier 5 Champions and three Tier 5 veterans. They were undoubtedly the most powerful clan in the Angel Faction, and joining them was the most logical option. Yet, he could not accept Netherspirit’s Claw’s conceited attitude towards everyone. He would rather die than to be ordered around by these snobs.

And so, all that remained was... the Scarlet Dynasty, Hall of Heroes, Fallen Angels, and Black Prison...

The only clans that caught Remorseless Warrior’s eyes were these four clans. There were, however, some...”imperfections” in each of these clans.

Remorseless Warrior was also quick to dismiss the idea of joining Black Prison.

The only thing noteworthy and unique about this clan was their clan leader—Black God. Otherwise, Black Prison was nothing but a bunch of losers. They would not be able to do anything if Netherspirit’s Claw stepped on their heads.

As for Scarlet Dynasty? Scarlet Dynasty was still as powerful and as influential as ever, even after Homme Fatale had left them. Not to mention they still had several allies that were on their side too. Nonetheless, it’s still nothing but a mere shell of the now defunct Scarlet Bauhinia League. Remorseless Warrior was not about to allow his Executors to join a dying league.

Then, there was the Hall of Heroes. Indeed, they too were formidable—so strong that they could hold off Netherspirit’s Claw. Majestic Hero, the League Master, was also a wise and honorable leader. Unfortunately, the Hall of Heroes had already decided on who’s to join their league—there were no extra slots for The Executors to slide in.

And finally... the Fallen Angels.

This was the clan that he initially thought was just all talk but then turned out to be a force to be reckoned with. If it was not due to Qin Ruo who was their clan leader being trapped in the Underworld at the moment, would have approached them for an alliance.

The Fallen Angels were also a newly established clan. this would enable them to be merged into the same league and still be on equal footing and no one would boss around one another. He could also see that Qin Ruo was not one to just sit on his throne and boss people around. Rather than just sending his men to settle things, he was the type who wasn’t afraid to dirty his own hands—this made apparent in his decision to enter the Underworld all alone.

Besides, the Fallen Angels seemed like a magnet that attracted new and very powerful champions.

The clan leader “Winter Demon” was naturally extremely powerful. And then, was that “Netherspirit’s Menace” showing his hand by defeating Dark Dragon with relative ease. Besides that, they also had a “Gravity Master” Black Rock and the overpowered “Sword of Ignis” Subjugator.

Furthermore, they also had a powerful ally— Violent Army Clan. This clan had two powerful monstrous players in their ranks too: the famous Homme Fatale and the enigmatic Summoner Dinosaurcerer.

It was a shame that he could not join forces with this new generation of demigods, fighting battles with them hand in hand.

Remorseless Warrior could not help but recall the ‘condition’ that he raised when Bauhinia’s Clan Leader approached him. He then shook his head in regret...

If it was not for the other huge clans also urging him to make a stand, he was hoping to give it a longer time. this was to see if that darn fellow would miraculously escape the Underworld.

And it was then that a miracle happened.

A familiar voice rang in Remorseless Warrior’s ears, “Remorseless Warrior, how’s it going? You wanna meet up?”

Remorseless Warrior was overjoyed to hear this voice, and excitedly blurted out a name.

“Qin Ruo?!”
