Chapter 1503: Hidden Information

Tang Shaoyang met someone he did not expect right outside Madaki's building. Ira was standing three steps away from the porch. Her eyes immediately focused on Tang Shaoyang, proving that she was here waiting for him.

There were many scenarios played in his head, possibilities of why she came to him. But the first thing that came up in his mind was that she came to capture him. She was ordered by the four Administrators to drag him back to them.

"Don't worry. I come on my own, not under Amos or other administrators' order," Sensing Tang Shaoyang's aura slowly rising, Ira immediately explained.

"There's something I want to talk about with you. Do you have time?"

"We can talk here!" He felt like there was nothing to talk about between them. There was no way he would not be suspicious of Ira. Especially with her assignment in this trial as an Administration Helper.

Ira let out a sigh, "How to make you trust me? Do you mind if we talk in Oby's place?"

She proposed Oby's lodging because she noticed that Tang Shaoyang was close to Oby. He trusted Oby more than her.

Tang Shaoyang did not immediately say yes. However, he indeed trusted Oby more than Ira, and he felt more comfortable with Oby than the others. After a while, he responded with a nod, "Let's go."

As they arrived at Oby's place, the burly cook was more welcoming than Tang Shaoyang expected. Not only did he welcome them, but he also provided a private room for them after Ira told Oby about what happened in the Administrator's Office.

The burly cook grinned widely as he looked at Tang Shaoyang. He looked happy about what happened between Tang Shaoyang and the administrator.

"Why do you look so happy?" Ira could not help but ask, wondering why the burly cook was happy.

"Nothing," Oby shook his head, his eyes stayed on Tang Shaoyang, "You are doing the right thing to ignore them. However, the last threat is unnecessary."

Tang Shaoyang just shrugged, not regretting what he said to Amos. He was genuinely angry because what happened was so similar to his past. What Amos did to him reminded him of his past before The Game. It was the time when he had to bow his head even though he was being treated unfairly.

The reason for his hunger for power was not to repeat what happened in the past. He would not let others step on his dignity anymore. He would fight back against whoever tried to trample him with their authority, even if it meant that he would get disqualified. Of course, he did not bother to explain his reason and his past to Ira and Oby.

"What do you want to talk about? Is it okay for Oby to stay here?" He glanced at Oby.

The burly cook waved his hand at Tang Shaoyang, "Ay, don't worry. My lip is tight. No words from this room will come out of my mouth."

"Why didn't you just accept your punishment?" Ira questioned Tang Shaoyang's decision. It would not become a big issue if he stayed silent and accepted the punishment.

"I know it's unfair for you, but it's not too late to have your revenge later in the future. It's not too late even after you win the trial."

Ira in fact felt bad deep inside. She felt like it was her mistake that led to this situation. If she intervened earlier, the situation would not have reached this point. She was there when the Sorc Clan blocked Tang Shaoyang's path. There would be no problem if she came earlier. The guilt was what pushed her to come to meet Tang Shaoyang.

"Is that all? If so, then I have other matters to attend to." His intonation was polite and distant. It was clear that he did not look at Ira the same anymore as before.

Ira was also aware of that. She understood why he did so. It was natural for him to think that she was on the administrator's side.

"No. That's not what I want to talk about. I want to know what you are going to do now? Amos won't stay still after you threaten him. He will use authority as Administrator to get rid of you, even though that means he will lose his Administrator Class. "He took a risk of losing his class just to throw the bait for you, and you ate the bait," Ira furrowed her brow, showing her dislike for what Amos did. Then she added at the end, "I come to warn and also help you."

Ira was sincere with her words, "If you doubt me, then I can tell you the reason. I feel guilty because you are in trouble because of me. If only I had come out earlier last night, then you would not lose your point. So, I will help you as long as it's within my capability... And of course, I will not help you fight the administrator."

"You can trust her with that. Of course, if you also trust me and my judgment," Oby spoke out before Tang Shaoyang could respond, "But are you really going to fight Amos?"

From his tone, Oby sounded interested in a fight between Tang Shaoyang and Amos.

Tang Shaoyang stayed silent for a while. He observed Ira for a moment, then he turned toward Oby who looked entertained by the news of his conflict with Amos.

"I will trust Oby once more."

"What do you mean once more?" Oby sat straight when he heard the 'once more' as if he had betrayed Tang Shaoyang before.

"Tortoine Steak!" Tang Shaoyang reminded Oby. Without waiting Oby, he met Ira's eyes, "You don't need to do anything for me but just answer three of my questions."

"What's the consequence for killing an Administrator in this trial?"

If a fight really broke out against Amos, he wanted to know the aftermath so he could be prepared. One of the implications is a war between his faction and Amos's faction. That was something he expected, but he wanted to know if the System would punish him as well. If that was the case then he must avoid killing Amos if a fight broke out.

Oby grinned ear to ear after hearing the question. Not waiting for Ira to respond, Oby answered the question, "Do you know an interesting fact about this trial?"

Tang Shaoyang turned toward Oby, not expecting an answer from Oby.

"Killing an Administrator will give you the same point as Unique Rank Calamity. And I have to say, killing them is far easier than killing a Unique Rank Calamity. Just usually the Administrator will not come out from their cage. Even if they go out of the city, they will not let others notice them. You can kill the Administrator, not only you will not be punished but you will be rewarded. Of course, there's a condition, and that is you can't kill them inside the city. You must kill them outside the city or you will face System's wrath."

Tang Shaoyang was surprised by the new information. He glanced at Ira, she did not say anything about this. It was indeed an interesting rule for the trial. Depending on the location, he would be punished or rewarded.
