Chapter 1499: Confrontation With The Sorc Clan
Tang Shaoyang walked back to the lodging. Walking through the street absentmindedly, thinking about the city defense. The city defense would be chaotic for sure. The participants were not just the guards who prioritized protecting the city, but also rivals who would not hesitate to do something extreme for the high-ranking position in the trial.
The main problem would be the kill steal. Stealing the killing of the dying Calamity from the other participants. That was what would most likely happen. If it would end with just that, then that should be fine. However, it might become a bigger problem, a fight between the participants during the city defense. That would be a nightmare, and there was a possibility that they would fail to defend the city.
"What will happen to the trial if we lose the city?" He did not ask Madaki.
What if a swarm of Unique Calamity invaded the city and got all Administrators?
"Will I be trapped in this world?" That was a nightmare if that was what would happen if they failed in the city defense. With his ability, there was no way he could return to Earth.
"I should ask Oby..." He muttered in a low voice, picking up his face.
Tang Shaoyang found the group that was not supposed to be in front of his lodging. The group of bear folk, four of them, standing in front of the building. It was clear that they were waiting for him.
He let out a chuckle, shaking his head. The Sorc Clan went this far just for him. At this point, he found it funny. He took nothing from them, and he did not even kill one of them. Yet they kept going for him for almost a week.
They were not allowed to fight inside the city, so he was not concerned even if they waited for him. As he found them, they also discovered him. The three bear folks were leaning against the wall. Now they stood straight, looking him in the eyes.
Tang Shaoyang ignored them and tried to enter his assigned lodging. However, the three bear folks immediately blocked the entrance.
"What should I do? Can I hit them if they are unreasonable like this?" He talked by himself, not the bear folk.
"Is the Tortoine really that precious for you guys to go this far?" He blurted out the question, purely curious why The Sorc Clan had to go this far for just Rank 1 Calamity. The meat might be expensive, and the shell was also material that was sought for. However, it was not like he took all Tortoines and left them nothing.
"It's not about the Tortoine! It's about the Sorc Clan's dignity! You are challenging The Sorc Clan by not listening to the warning!" The bear folk in the middle answered in a solemn and deep tone.
Tang Shaoyang chuckled, shaking his head, 'Are you guys expecting all people will listen to you guys wherever you guys go?' That was what was in his head, but he did not say it out loud. It was as if this Sorc Clan was a big faction.
'Are they bigger than Nirvana Alliance?'
Nirvana Alliance comprises seven big factions in the God Realm. For the bear folk to be this arrogant, they must be on the same level as the Nirvana Alliance. He knew nothing about them and did not want to escalate the situation further.
"So what does The Sorc Clan want from me?"
The three bear folks exchanged glances, not expecting Tang Shaoyang to relent so easily like this. After a moment, the bear folk in the middle replied, "Give everything you have gotten, including the money, items, and points you have to our temporary leader! That's the price you must pay for challenging The Sorc Clan!"
It was ridiculous to the point that he almost laughed. He held his laugh as his smile disappeared, looking at the bear folk in the middle. He did not know if there was a way to transfer the points he gained, but he would not ask these people even if he was curious.
"I am familiar with people like you guys. Just because I am trying to make up things with The Sorc Clan, you think that I am afraid of you guys!" He shook his head, "Since you don't want to make peace, then so be it. Move before I move you three!"
"If you refuse to pay up, The Sorc Clan will hunt you down during the remaining trial. We don't care if we get nothing from the trial. We will not stop until we take what is supposed to be ours!" The bear folk in the middle said it out aloud. His voice was so loud that people started to gather on the street, watching how the situation would unfold. These people expected a fight for sure.
Tang Shaoyang forced his way, bumped into the taller bear folk, and pushed them away. They were not expecting Tang Shaoyang to use such strength to push them. Two bear folks reacted, reaching Tang Shaoyang's shoulders to hold him.
Without hesitation, Tang Shaoyang grabbed their hands and twisted their hands. The cracking sounds were heard and followed by the two bear folks's pained shriek. He did not keep holding the hand and pushed the two bear folks.
The bear folk in the middle were not expecting Tang Shaoyang to be so daring. He gathered his energy in his right and was about to strike Tang Shaoyang's head. However, a hand held his hand, putting his hand to a stop.
He was surprised that someone stopped him and looked at the person who stopped him. It was the Admin Helper, but he did not back down. He had the justification, "He attacked my friends first!" He pointed at Tang Shaoyang.
"I saw everything. The matter ends here. If you have a dispute outside, then resolve the dispute outside the city. If you or your clan try to do something inside the city, then it will not end with just disqualification. The Administrator will come to your clan!"
Ira stepped up. She had been watching how Tang Shaoyang would solve the problem. However, she did not expect him to twist their arms.
"It applies to you too, Tang Shaoyang!"
Tang Shaoyang just shrugged and entered the lodging. The bear folk were dumbfounded that Tang Shaoyang got away just like that.
"You are not doing your duty! He should be punished for attacking my friends!" The bear folk looked into Ira, "The Sorc Clan will file a complaint to the Administrator for not doing your duty. This is favoritism. Just because you know him, you don't punish him!"
Ira smiled, "You can file a complaint, but make sure not to hide what you did as well. The Sorc Clan might have a big influence in your worlds, but that name is nothing here!"
