"There are two queens!" Liam abruptly sat up, shouting loudly as soon as he woke up from his sleep.
Shockingly, he came face to face with about a dozen members of the Crimson Abyss main team. All of them were staring at him with odd expressions on their faces.
"Brother, are you fine?" Mei Mei was the first one to rush toward Liam and give him a hug.
Shen Yue silently walked up to him and gave him a set of fresh clothes as he was currently naked, with only a blanket covering the lower half of his body.
Seeing all the familiar faces, Liam was fully awake and became calm.
"I will be out in a minute." He received the clothes from Shen Yue and nodded at the audience.
Everyone got the hint and started walking out to give Liam some privacy. Now that he was awake, they were no longer worried about him. Mei Mei and Shen Yue also walked out along with the others.
Only one person hung back, fidgeting uncomfortably. "How are you feeling? Are you fine? Does it still hurt anywhere?" Alex's face matched her hair as she looked fully flushed from face to neck.
Just one look at her and anyone could tell that she had done something that she shouldn't have. Liam frowned as he noticed this odd development.
"Did something happen?" He coincidentally rubbed his lips as he did so.
Alex instantly became even more conscious and jumped back like a frightened cat. "What do you mean? What are you talking about? What would I do to you? I am just… I just healed you. Fucking… ungrateful…"
She continued murmuring something inaudible and rushed out of the room before the other party could even say anything. Liam stared in a daze at the redhead's new type of behavior.
"What did I even say?" He was very much confused. He shook it off and got down from the bed, quickly dressing up. This crazy woman had to wait. There were more things he needed to take care of now.
Liam glanced at Luna, who was still sleeping very soundly, and then began to rush out of the room, already planning in his head what to do next.
However, just as he took a step forward, he felt a sudden sharp pain somewhere in the depth of his body, which made him convulse and fall down.
The pain was only transient, but just that Liam was completely caught off guard by the sudden onset of the attack. He soon managed to get a grip on things and slowly stood up again.
"What was that?" Liam took a deep breath and closed his eyes to probe the condition of his body.
All the bloody bruises and ghastly injuries were completely healed on the outside, but perhaps things were not quite that simple on the inside?
Hmmm… Liam stood silently in the same spot for a few good minutes, observing and analyzing his body. He rotated mana through his veins and tried to tease out where the pain came from.
But to his surprise, nothing was yielding any result. He was still a bit exhausted, physically and mentally. However, that shouldn't result in stabbing pain .
He walked out thinking about this to meet everyone.
"Brother! Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Guild leader! How are you feeling now?"
"Liam, you are not injured, right?"
Liam abruptly stopped in his tracks. He blinked in confusion and then looked at himself from top to bottom.
He took a minute and properly observed his body. But no matter where he checked, he really seemed to be fine. So why were these guys asking him these questions, that too so seriously?
"I am completely fine. Why are you guys worried?" He asked the crowd.
Everyone remained oddly silent, and some even let out sighs of relief. Seeing this, Liam was even more confused.
"How long was I sleeping for?"
"Not too long. But there is something you should know." Alex stood up. "Let's go to the magic shop. Everything will be clear then."
They were currently right next to the magic shop, so the group simply walked out and went into the building next door. Alex directly led Liam to the guild affairs desk, where she pulled open the guild interface for him to see.
"See the stupid chat. Then you will understand."
What the hell happened? Liam's gaze hurriedly ran through the bunch of messages, and his eyes widened in shock the next second.
"Crimson Abyss guild leader is injured!"
"Ya, I heard it too. His name is Liam, it seems. Half-Asian and Half-White."
"Damn! Serves him right! He totally got what he deserved!"
"Right? Leave it to the Chinese to claim credit for what doesn't belong to them!"
"Ba ha ha ha! This bitch is hilarious! He thought that because Crimson Abyss was an S-Rank guild inside the game, the same would translate to the world too?"
"Did you know back in the game he was the top-ranked player, it seems!"
"Whatever. He is now just an idiot who tried to bite more than he could chew. Isn't the government systematically dealing with all these hives? All our guilds are sitting tight and observing from the sidelines, but this idiot wanted to show off and got what he was asking for!"
"Ha Ha Ha! If you don't seek death, you won't find it!"
"Common sense is too uncommon!"
"I wonder what injury he received?"
"I hope he got crippled! That bitch definitely deserves it! How difficult is it to just stay quiet and let others do their job? No, he had to interfere! The idiot!"
"It's working, isn't it? Aren't we all talking about Liam and Crimson Abyss right now?"
"Ba ha ha ha! Right! Right! We are talking about them, and while we are doing that, who wants to challenge Crimson Abyss to a guild fight? Should be easy pickings without this bastard! Ha ha ha!"
"It won't be that easy. Aren't the two goddesses still in that guild?"
"Who knows, maybe they are also injured?"
