Sword Among Us Chapter 533 – Silver Wolf Owns Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news of Happy defeating Song Qingshu spread like wildfire, but it was clearly not as shocking as the news of Silver Wolf fighting against One Emperor in the hero filled Hero’s Mountain Villa!

Happy spread the letter and looked at the contents inside. Then, the delight on his face which had come from him completing Song Qingshu’s quest vanished, and his expression gradually turned solemn.

Silver Wolf’s words were very simple.

He told Happy that he had just fought against One Emperor. He lost from the fourth slash, and One Emperor clearly had the intention to fight against Happy. Silver Wolf also said that there was a battle replay in his hands, which could be considered to be the most detailed first-hand data about One Emperor.

He asked Happy to immediately log off to receive it.

‘Even Silver Wolf couldn’t withstand the fourth slash?’ Happy’s expression was solemn. He stared at the words on the letter while his emotions surged. They did not calm down even after a long time had passed.

Silver Wolf’s Red Flame Palm did not lose to a normal ultimate technique once it reached Grandmaster Realm, and he also had a full Golden Armor Set at the fourth echelon, along with fourth-echelon Golden Gloves. It could be said that he was the most powerful fighter in all of Mu Clan, and he was second only to Happy. But not by much.

Such a quick loss on Silver Wolf’s part shocked Happy, and he became even warier of One Emperor’s strength.

When he put away the letter though, he had already calmed down. He turned his head to look at Song Yuanqiao.

“Great Swordsman Song, since Young Swordsman Song has already agreed to return to Wudang Sect, I will be considered to have completed one of the requests Reverend Zhang asked of me. Please send my regards to him when you go back. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll have to leave first.”

“I have caused you trouble, Young Swordsman Happy!”

His words were as expected of Song Yuanqiao, the leader of the Seven Heroes of Wudang Sect. His son might have lost to Happy, but he was still very polite, and his tone was sincere. It was no wonder then why Song Yuanqiao was the step-in sect leader every single time Zhang Sanfeng went into isolated training. He had extraordinary bearing.

Happy wrapped his fist in his palm politely and went into a restaurant nearby. He rented a room there and walked inside.

The martial arts tournament would last for forty-eight hours in Hero’s Mountain Villa. During that period of time, even if the players logged off, their characters would not leave. Their progress would also not vanish.

Happy left the game and called Silver Wolf straight away.

Right after the first ring, the call was connected, and a young, sonorous, and powerful voice traveled into his ears.

“Happy.” Silver Wolf had been waiting by his phone since a long time ago. “I’ve already edited the battle replay and sent it to your email, but I think that I should talk to you in detail about One Emperor’s strength.”

Silver Wolf went straight to the main topic. Happy did not interrupt him and just waited quietly in front of his computer.

“One Emperor’s sword will is as you said. It’s very strong indeed. But the first slash is rather similar to your Emperor Shocks World, in fact, it’s not that much different. You’ll have no problem avoiding it.”

Happy nodded silently. All things came from the same source. It was not impossible for the profound secrets between sword techniques to be similar.

“But it’s rather troublesome starting from the second slash.” After saying that, Silver Wolf’s tone sank slightly. “The sword glare of the second slash is like a whip, and I couldn’t avoid it…”

As he spoke, he told Happy every single detail about how he was nearly cut open by One Emperor.

At that moment, Happy opened the mail box and found a battle replay he just received. He searched for a playback software released by the official developers and opened it.

The fight was very short. The first and second slashes released a very clear sword whine from the sound system, and it brought with it a strange charm. Happy repeatedly watched the black whip and frowned tightly.

He had seen the first slash before, in a battle replay about One Emperor in Spirit Snake Island. At that time, he had already sensed a hair-rising threat. He did not think that the sword will of the second slash would be even more agile, and that One Emperor could change its trajectory at will.

The subsequent attacks were even more mysterious.

But it was very difficult for the battle replay to show the sword will One Emperor released.

Once Happy finished watching the battle replay, he was silent for half a minute.

“How is it?”

Silver Wolf sent a rather somber question from his side. Clearly, he was also rather worried that Happy would not be able to withstand One Emperor’s attacks.

Right then, Mu Clan’s reputation was as great as a mountain, and it was showing signs of overtaking Class One Hall, Chivalry Sect, and Towering Palace to become the greatest sect in the game.

But if Happy was defeated by One Emperor, even though it would not cause a direct financial loss, it would have a great impact on Mu Clan’s reputation, which would fall drastically.

And there was a possibility that the people in the game would get to know Happy’s full strength.

Since the early days, Happy had been unfathomably strong in the eyes of the people in the game, and Silver Wolf would do everything he could to maintain Happy’s image, which was why he was willing to stall his progress in the game and allow Happy to have a better understanding toward One Emperor as well as make some preparations.

After all, One Emperor and Happy’s fight could not be avoided!

“Wait.” Happy thought about it for a moment. When he spoke again, he did so quickly, and he spoke in unequivocal terms. “I can’t sense what you did at that moment, and I can’t decipher One Emperor’s strength and sword will’s essence. How about this? I’ll make a phone call, and I’ll have your battle replay uploaded to the pay-to-view system.”

“Pay-to-view system?” Silver Wolf was stunned when he heard Happy’s resolute words by his ears.

“Yes! At that time, I’ll be able to enter the pay-to-view system and carefully understand One Emperor’s sword will and get familiar with it as well as its weaknesses. I might even be able to find a way to counter him.”

“What should I do?”

Silver Wolf felt that the view count for that pay-to-view video would be low, but he soon understood that Happy’s goal was not money. He wanted to understand what he experienced and sense One Emperor’s sword will and strength at that time. It was the best way for him to understand the other.

Silver Wolf was secretly impressed by how quick Happy’s mind worked. He had actually thought about using such a method to understand One Emperor!

“Wait for my phone call and the money.”

Happy originally wanted to end things once Silver Wolf provided the battle replay, but when he thought about how Silver Wolf had once nearly left World of Martial Arts because of five million, his tone changed.

“You might have lost against One Emperor, but there are definitely quite a lot of great players in the game who will pay for your battle replay. Perhaps it’ll be even more popular than my fight at Common Reed Bank!”

He stopped talking for a while, then said jokingly, “But I’m rather worried right now. What if when you get rich and your value exceeds one hundred million, you will just throw five million at me and stop working for me?”

Silver Wolf said nothing. He was silent for a few seconds before he said, “I’ve already made a promise to you, and I won’t change it. I’ll work for you for five years. Even if my value exceeds one billion or ten billion, it’ll still be the same.

“After all, if I really get that amount of money, it’ll all be because of you. I’ll never forget that. I might even bring my brothers here to protect you.”

“Bring them over? What do you mean?”

Happy was stunned for a moment.

Silver Wolf was silent for a long time before he used a very strangely pleased tone to say, “Didn’t I tell you? Oh, I forgot to tell you, huh?

“Well, around four months ago, I rented the house next to yours, and I also set up a complete security system for you.”

Happy was incredibly shocked.

“I mean, you’re my boss. When I did other bodyguard work before, we’ve always had this standard for each person we protected. So, don’t worry,” Silver Wolf said in a very relaxed voice.
