Chapter 68: Trouble at the door

Arthur didn’t leave the roof. He was watching the blue sky.

The morning air was refreshing and sweet. But he knew that once the game merged, the entire face of the world would change.

The nuclear-type bosses would produce so much radiation that the outside world would become uninhabitable for normal humans. Even powerful players would struggle to survive in such an environment.

Only inside the fortress cities would people be somewhat safe. But there could be only a handful of such cities.

Countless people would become sewer rats, hiding in underground places. Only the rich and the players would be able to live inside the cities.

Because when the game merged, new people wouldn’t be able to enter the game anymore unless they awakened a class at the age of 18.

And right now, only rich players could become players, as only they could buy gaming pods and enter the game to level up.

Only a handful of people were actually players at the moment, and this ratio wouldn’t change much after the game merged, as only one in tens of thousands of people might awaken a class.

Arthur sighed.

"I wonder if I can buy some artifact or create one which would be able to clear the radiation from the air."

The radiation would mutate the animal kingdom into a monster kingdom. Even humans were no exception. Those without any protection who came into contact with that horrific radiation would become dreadful mutants.

Arthur slowly came down from the roof and called Sebas.

"Ask them to be prepared. We would leave soon. Though the meeting will be held at 10 AM, we need to discuss something with the Arvian government first," Arthur said calmly.

"Young master, they are already prepared," Sebas answered.

Soon, Anastasia also returned after getting ready.

She was now wearing a proper chef’s dress selected by her aunt. It was her identity, after all. The personal chef of Arthur Miller.

"Young master, I am ready," Anastasia smiled.

When Arthur saw her, he fell into a daze for a second, but he immediately controlled his emotions. This girl was just too beautiful. After becoming a player, her beauty seemed to have enhanced by a few notches.

"Let’s go," Arthur said and walked ahead.

Both Sebas and Anastasia followed him.

Sebas took out the car, and Arthur sat in the back passenger seat, where Anastasia sat in the front passenger seat and Sebas drove the car.

.....

Meanwhile, the private jet had landed at the airport of Aurora City long ago.

Five cars were already heading toward the Miller family mansion, the true Miller family estate, not where Arthur lived.

The five cars stopped in front of the huge gate of the Miller family.

Sixteen unknown people stepped out of the five cars. They had solemn looks on their faces and were wearing Chinese kung fu outfits.

All of them were radiating powerful auras.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, the guards stopped them immediately.

The captain was a Gold-rank foundational player.

There were some other Bronze and Silver players as well. It was Arthur who had ordered the guards to become players if they wanted to work here.

"Sir, this is the private property of the Miller family. Unauthorized entry is not allowed. Can you show us your authorization, please?" a guard said politely.

They could tell that these people were bad news. All of them were radiating horrendous auras.

"Hummph!"

A loud snort came out.

Suddenly, one of the newcomers moved in a strange manner and appeared in front of the guard captain.

Boom!

He struck him with a palm strike. The captain flew away like a ragdoll and crashed into the gate.

"Blergh!"

He immediately vomited blood. His eyes were full of terror.

He was a Gold-rank Level 10 warrior, yet he couldn’t take a single blow from that man.

What kind of monsters were these people?

"Attack!" the captain roared, ordering his subordinates, who also came back to their senses.

Boom!

They all charged with their special weapons, and some even fired bullets.

But the sixteen of them dodged the bullets with slight movements.

Even before becoming players, they could all have caught bullets with their bare hands. Now, with Gold and Platinum foundations, they were like walking catastrophes.

Boom!

Boom!

They all shot toward the guards like arrows, and within a few moments, they killed several guards by twisting their necks or cutting their throats.

The entire entrance of the Miller estate became red with blood.

The guards all fell to the ground with unwillingness in their eyes.

The captain had already regained his strength and pressed the emergency button on his special device.

A siren buzzed immediately throughout the Miller estate.

Inside, the ten cousins of Arthur were all waiting for Arthur and Sebas to arrive so they could leave.

Suddenly, they heard the emergency siren.

"Humm? Someone dared to trespass the Miller family estate, and even Captain Denver can’t stop them? Who has so many heads in their neck?" Andrew narrowed his eyes.

Currently,even if we took Arthur out of the equation, the Miller family alone was powerful enough to destroy the country if they went all out. At the very least, Aurora City wouldn’t survive to tell the tale.

And someone had actually barged in.

"Let’s go," Noah stood up, and the ten of them started walking outside.

....

The sixteen people looked at each other.

"We have done it. Now either we die or they die," one force master said in a solemn tone.

"It is too late for regret."

Boom!

The leader kicked the gate, and it flew away.

They looked at the estate like hungry wolves. Though they had initially been ordered to destroy the Evergreen Corporation, they understood that doing so would require them to kill the Miller family.

Just as they were about to rush inside, they saw ten people slowly coming toward them.

Their faces were so calm that it was almost terrifying.

And then, the two groups stood opposite each other.

Noah looked behind them and saw the blood of the guards and several dead bodies lying outside. The gate was broken as well.

After seeing that, he calmly looked at the sixteen Chinese people.

"Did you do that?" he asked softly.

There was not a single trace of anger in his tone, but one could tell it was the calm before a great tsunami.

"Kill!" the leader roared.

He knew this group of ten was formidable, so he didn’t want to take any risks.

Cris smiled at the center of the group.

"It will be a good warm-up before big brother arrives."

He snapped his fingers. Instantly, a complex formation came out from his drawing handbook and became a real formation, surrounding the nearby five-kilometer area.

It boosted the strength of his allies by five times while suppressing the enemies by the same amount.

After his class evolved into the legendary-grade Formation Grandmaster, his power had grown tremendously. However, the time limit was still three minutes with his current mana value.

The sixteen people suddenly felt extreme suppression on their bodies.

"Kill that middle one!" the leader roared.

The two groups clashed.
