Chapter 382: The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
As years-long sworn enemies, their argument quickly devolved into exposing each other’s pasts, leaving both of them fuming.
Slamming shut the public channel, Wang Dong was seething with unvented anger.
Just as he was about to smash something to vent, a notification sound rang in his ears.
“Damn it! Who is it?!”
Hearing the message notification, Wang Dong cursed in frustration.
However, the moment his gaze fell upon the sender’s name, his entire expression froze, and his anger subsided somewhat.
The player who was currently messaging him privately was named Zhao Deyu, who, simply put, was the person who had cuckolded Wang Kang.
Some might find it strange, with numerous beautiful women in their own worlds, and even the option of having a harem of 3,000 beauties, why would players still be so fixated on female players, only to end up being cuckolded?
This actually involves a subtle psychological aspect among players, to put it bluntly, a kind of “player sickness.”
They perceive the women in their own worlds as NPCs, and not necessarily real.
Female players, however, are different, they are definitely people like themselves.
It is due to this subtle psychological factor that many players would go to the trouble of buying a house in a neutral zone to serve as their residence, then engage in romantic relationships and cohabitation with other female players, doing intimate things.
Wang Kang was clearly one such player.
The entire affair was simple, Wang Kang was originally very involved with a female player named Zhu Lingling.
However, Zhao Deyu somehow used some trickery.
While cuckolding Wang Kang, he also managed to extract intelligence and inside information about Wang Kang from Zhu Lingling.
He then launched a well-prepared invasion that caught Wang Kang off guard, resulting in significant losses.
After that battle, Wang Kang undoubtedly severed ties with Zhao Deyu and Zhu Lingling.
The fact that Zhao Deyu was still alive proved that he, too, had a powerful backer.
However, Zhao Deyu’s backer was a different big shot, one who had no conflict with the big shot backing Wang Kang.
Thus, it had become a feud between juniors, and both senior figures clearly had no interest in intervening.
Now, with Zhao Deyu suddenly seeking him out, his purpose was obvious.
Upon opening the message, Wang Dong immediately wore a knowing expression.
Embracing the idea that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” Wang Dong naturally wouldn’t refuse Zhao Deyu’s proposal for an alliance.
However, judging from Zhao Deyu’s past actions, this guy was clearly a schemer.
Wang Dong would definitely have to be careful when allying with such a person.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Kang, whose raw nerve had been touched by Wang Dong, was naturally furious.
After a fit of smashing things to vent, his emotions slightly calmed, and he regained some of the composure expected of an alliance leader.
“That Luo Ji, though only a Bronze-tier player, has the ability to take out so many people from Zongheng Tianxia. He must have some strength. Perhaps we should try to win him over.”
Thinking this, Wang Kang decisively searched for the name and sent a private message.
“Brother Luo Ji, hello. I am Wang Kang, the leader of the War King Alliance.”
“I heard that those bastards from Zongheng Tianxia have been bothering you recently.”
“Our War King Alliance and Zongheng Tianxia happen to be sworn enemies.”
“The enemy of Zongheng Tianxia is my friend, Wang Kang.”
“I wonder if Brother Luo Ji is interested in joining our War King Alliance?”
“If those bastards from Zongheng Tianxia invade you again, our brothers in the War King Alliance will definitely support you to the end!”
Reading these messages, Luo Ji, who usually paid little attention to the public channel, was completely bewildered.
He clearly had no idea what was happening.
Why was it so lively today?
Regardless, he had no interest in the War King Alliance.
He simply had to politely decline the offer.
However, to Luo Ji’s surprise, Wang Kang was unexpectedly persistent.
Upon seeing his refusal, he immediately sent another string of messages.
“Brother Luo Ji, if you’re worried about losing your freedom after joining the alliance, then you can rest assured. Our War King Alliance is very free, we just gather to help each other out at critical moments.”
“Besides, Brother, you’ve now offended Zongheng Tianxia. Your future days might not be easy. Joining the War King Alliance would also give you some support.”
Faced with Wang Kang’s persistence, Luo Ji frowned slightly.
However, the other party’s words were very polite, and he didn’t want to casually make enemies over trivial matters.
With this thought, Luo Ji patiently replied again.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Alliance Leader Wang. I am just a small newcomer who only wishes to quietly develop my territory and not get involved in alliance matters.”
“Furthermore, my issue with Zongheng Tianxia has already been resolved. Let’s just let this matter rest.”
At Luo Ji’s uncooperativeness, Wang Kang, whose mood was already sour, undoubtedly showed clear signs of irritation in his eyebrows.
However, he had managed to reach the Silver tier not just by relying on his senior, but he also possessed some capabilities himself.
Therefore, he naturally understood that in this game, making enemies everywhere was tantamount to courting death.
Even if the opponent was a Bronze-tier player, it was still the same.
Since there was no real grudge, there was no need to create another enemy just because of a momentary fit of irritation.
With this thought, Wang Kang took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
He quickly noticed something amiss.
“The matter with Zongheng Tianxia has already been resolved?”
This was too absurd.
As far as he knew, many Bronze-tier players from Zongheng Tianxia had fallen at Luo Ji’s hands.
Given this, even considering Zongheng Tianxia’s reputation, Wang Dong wouldn’t let Luo Ji off so easily.
But Luo Ji’s words didn’t seem like a lie either.
He had already explicitly stated that the War King Alliance was Zongheng Tianxia’s sworn enemy, so there was no point in lying to him.
“Could it be…”
At this moment, Wang Kang undoubtedly thought the same thing as Wang Dong had earlier.
He quickly opened his friends list and sent a message to his senior.
And at this very moment, the snake-man, who had been gloating earlier, nearly bit his own tongue in excitement upon receiving a message from his junior, Wang Kang.
Having no time to cry out in pain or to care about the astonished looks from his alliance partners, the snake-man quickly sent a message back to his junior, urging Wang Kang at the end to absolutely not court death.
Wang Kang, who received an almost instant reply, saw the content of the message and his entire face changed.
His mood, which had been very irritable, suddenly became completely chilled from head to toe.
“Damn it, that Luo Ji is actually someone under His Majesty, the Underworld King?”
