Reign of the Hunters

innocently at the judge. 

 

And after a long moment of consideration, Fleeting Time’s request was granted by the judge. 

 

He was sent to the cell immediately after his sentence was announced. 

 

And he ran into Bai Mo who was ready to leave.
He flashed Bai Mo a confident smile, and it was immediately followed by the impeccable timing of a system announcement announcing his crime. 

 

Before Bai Mo could fully grasp the situation, FLeeting Time was already on his way to Ye Ci’s cell. 

It took Bai Mo quite a while to realise what had transpired.
He let out a hearty laugh. Ahh, it seems that I’ve misjudged that man.
He had a whole new level of respect for Fleeting Time.
He did not expect such a bold move from the man.
It was something that he would never be able nor afford to pull off. 

 

But do you think you can take my sister away that easily? Then you’ve greatly underestimated me, Fleeting Time. 

 

You’ve won the battle, but it does not mean that you’ll win the war. Thought Bai Mo as a smile appeared on his face. 

 

Ye Ci stared at Fleeting Time as if he was the Devil himself. 

 

She had a feeling of unease when she learned of the news of Fleeting Time’s crime from members of her guild.
She had been trying to convince herself that it was all a joke but… 

 

Fleeting Time appeared right before her in the next few minutes. 

 

Fleeting Time noticed Ye Ci’s staring at him with eyes wide open.
Her expression alone was worth his inprisonment. 

 

“H-how did you get in here?” Ye Ci choked back a scream, making no attempts to hide her shock. 

 

“I killed someone in the middle of the streets.” Fleeting Time shrugged as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. 

 

“W-why did you do that…'' Ye Ci pointed at Fleeting Time, “Don’t you know that you’ll be sent to jail for that? Do you not know that it’s very uncomfortable here?” 

 

“Little Gongzi, are you perhaps worried about me?” Fleeting Time snickered. 

 

Ye Ci could feel her face heating up.
She lowered her hand and said, “It’s just that I don’t want to see you here because you’re annoying.
I’ve already hidden myself in prison, how could you shamelessly follow me here?” 

 

“Didn’t I tell you that I’ll be here with you shortly?” Fleeting Time grinned, his good mood not affected at all by Ye Ci’s display of anger. 

 

Ye Ci was at a loss for words.
She pursed her lips, and turned around, “Nobody wants you here.
I want to be as far away as possible from you.” 

 

Just then, she was hit by a sudden realisation, “Hold on, there are so many empty cells, why are you placed here?” 

 

“Must’ve been sent here by the system.” Fleeting Time shrugged with an innocent look on his face. 

 

Ye Ci immediately turned her back towards Fleeting Time.
 

“Fleeting Time!!! Do you want to die!!! Why don’t you just tell me!!! Turn on your Private Message goddamn it!!!” Absalom was roaring in anger in the guild conference room. 

 

Fleeting Time sighed.
The consequence of his action had finally arrived.
He opened the channel, and sent a message to Absalom, “What do you want?” 

 

“What do I want?? That’s all you have to say? Do you have a death wish? If you want to die, don’t you just tell me? I’ll send you on your way you piece of shit!” Absalom had planned to explore a new dungeon later in the day, but the most important member of his party was imprisoned for a murder. 

 

“State your business or I’ll mute you.” Fleeting Time was not at all afraid of Absalom’s anger. 

 

“Y-y-y-y-you! I-I-I…” Absalom was flustered and exasperated, “I’ll set White Fairytale loose on you if you do that!” 

 

Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes, “Fang Congshu, have you finally grown tired of living?” It was rare for Fleeting Time to call him by name in game and in real life, which was why Absalom immediately shivered with fear when he heard the words

 

Some things should never be mentioned, and White Fairytale was the one person that Fleeting Time despised.
He would always react to her name with anger or with indifference, and it was apparent that Absalom was out of luck on that very day. 

 

“Alright, it’s my fault.” Absalom sighed, “I shouldn’t have mentioned her name…” 

 

“What do you want? Tell me now or I’ll mute you.
Your voice annoys me.” Fleeting Time’s good mood was destroyed by the mention of her name. 

 

“No! Don’t do that! But Fleeting Time, now that you’re arrested, what about our dungeon exploration tonight?” 

 

“There are so many elites in Genesis.
I am not needed.” Fleeting Time paid no heed to Absalom’s words. 

 

“But… They might not be enough!” Absalom had a worry of his own. 

 

“Well it’s time to put your abilities to the test, Guild Leader.” replied Fleeting Time as he proceeded to mute his Private Message channel. 

 

Absalom held back the tears in his eyes as he looked at Silent Hymn, “Hey Silent, have I wronged him in my past life? 

 

Silent Hymn apparently wanted nothing to do with the drama between the two friends, “Even a pig can see that nothing good will happen whenever White Fairytale is mentioned in the presence of Fleeting Time! Not to mention in a time like this! You’re dumber than a pig! Do you exist solely to reduce the average IQ of our guild?” 

 

“What sort of situation?” 

 

“Why do you think he killed someone and went to jail?” Silent Hymn rolled his eyes at Absalom.
