MMORPG: The Almighty Ring

Chapter 466: Phoenix, ReunitedTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

'Tsk! Who would want to look for trouble with me?' thought Jiang Fei to himself after 0541 delivered its warning report. Seven enemies, four of which were Level 4 and three Level 3. It was a fight that he could not win!

The only advantage Jiang Fei had was the girls. There were so many witnesses then and even if the Metahumans were strong, they dared not show up and fight in public. All they could do was to wait until Jiang Fei wandered into an empty street and jump on him.

'Going to the city would not be a good idea. I need to return to Manda Square!' thought Jiang Fei. There were so many people living in Manda Square. No matter who the Metahuman was, they would not show themselves in public eyes. If a fight broke out, there was no way they could cover it up. The secrets of the Metahuman society would leak out. All members of the society would not take such a crime lightly.

Just as Jiang Fei wanted to call out to the twins, 0541 called out again, louder this time.

"WARNING! Omega Being in close proximity! Combat preparation is advised!"

Jiang Fei froze. The only type of enemy that 0541 would consider as an Omega Being was a Level 5 Metahuman.

Jiang Fei tightened his fists and was ready to strike preemptively before the enemy could, hoping that he could at least defend himself. However, when the Omega Being finally showed up, Jiang Fei relaxed and sucked in his breath.

She was a young girl. A tall girl with long blonde hair that grew all the way to her shoulder. She wore a long one-piece white dress and a pair of sunglass that was so large that it looked like it was a mask. Even so, Jiang Fei could recognize who she was.

"Hello," said Phoenix in perfectly fluent Mandarin.

When Jiang Fei realized that Yang Po and Yang Qing did not know who she was, he played dumb.

"What a coincidence!"

To be honest, Jiang Fei and Phoenix shared a moment together, which led Phoenix to owe Jiang Fei two deeds. With her being there, Jiang Fei would not be scared of any of those incoming Level 4 and Level 3 enemies.

"Brother Jiang Fei, who is she?" asked Yang Qing as she hugged Jiang Fei's left arm tightly.

"Hoho. She's an old friend. Her name is Phoenix," said Jiang Fei calmly. He turned to Phoenix, smiled and said, "This is Yang Po and the one on my left arm is Yang Qing."

"Hi there!" said Yang Po as she bowed politely. Even though she did not know who the woman was, it was best to show courtesy since she was, as Jiang Fei introduced, an old friend.

"I'll cut to the chase. I need your help, Jiang Fei."

Phoenix completely ignored Yang Qing and Yang Po and spoke to Jiang Fei.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? You showed up suddenly and demand his help? Who are you?" said Yang Qing. She was slow. Even so, she did not want Jiang Fei to just leave her and go with another woman.

Jiang Fei could feel a sudden surge of power surrounding Phoenix. Even though she was wearing dark sunglasses, Jiang Fei could clearly see Phoenix's eyes glowing white.

"Stupid fool! Why are you being so rude?" Jiang Fei immediately freed his arm from Yang Qing's hold and pulled her behind him.

"There are people whom you should never anger!" said Jiang Fei quietly to Yang Qing before turning back to Phoenix. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. After being close together for more than a week, Jiang Fei had grown on the girls and did not wish to see them being vaporized.

"Your answer?" asked Phoenix as she glared at Yang Qing. She understood that Yang Qing did not know who she was and what she could do. Puny humans like her never learn to understand power. It was only common for ants to mistake gods as one of them!

"Yeah. I'll help you," said Jiang Fei bitterly. He needed to protect Yang Qing at this moment. Naturally, he would agree to what Phoenix said, even if it meant to lick her boots.

There was something that had bugged Jiang Fei the moment Phoenix asked for his help. No matter who it was, no one could possibly stand against Phoenix. Hence, the problem must not be something about fighting. Knowing that, Jiang Fei was slightly relaxed about helping Phoenix. It was also a good chance to spend more time with Phoenix to garner her interest.

"Alright. Come with me," said Phoenix as she turned and began to walk quickly.

Jiang Fei followed her quickly, leaving both Yang Po and Yang Qing alone. He hoped that the girls understood the situation and would just quietly leave them. However, the girls followed along since an unknown woman had suddenly shown up and dragged their man away.

Phoenix stopped abruptly. Without even turning around, she said, "I only need Jiang Fei's help."

Jiang Fei turned around and saw that the girls were tailing him from afar. He then ran toward them and pleaded them to return home.

"Please go back. Tell my mother that I'm attending some competition and would not be coming home tonight."

"Brother Jiang Fei…" cried Yang Qing as she did not want Jiang Fei to leave.

"I understand Brother Jiang Fei. We will handle this," said Yang Po as she held her sister. Being the quiet one, she was always on the alert and observing things happening around her. When Phoenix approached them, Yang Po could sense something unnatural about her. When she noticed how Jiang Fei, a Level 4 fighter, acted when she talked to him, Yang Po understood that the woman must be something else.

From the looks of it, it seemed that Phoenix was rather close with Jiang Fei. The way she talked to Jiang Fei was straight and direct. Especially when she asked for Jiang Fei's help. Jiang Fei had even agreed to help her without asking for details. That only explained how much trust Jiang Fei had for that woman.

Yang Po did not know that Phoenix was the product of a major bio-experiment. The expression on her face was gone. Only a cold, emotionless stare remained. However, would a Level 5 Omega level being need to smile to others?

Only when Jiang Fei was sure that the girls had returned to Manda Square did he sigh in relief. Phoenix said nothing all the way. The two hailed a cab and went out of the city.

"Young master, what should we do?" asked a man dressed in black when he saw Jiang Fei and a beautiful girl entering a cab.

"Follow them," said Ye Zhangfa.

"Yes sir!" said the group in unison. They then got into two separate cars and started to drive.

Ye Zhangfa and a few of his men were chasing after Jiang Fei, not knowing that there was a Level 5 Omega level being with him.

"Young master, are you sure you want to do this? If this got out, we would surely be punished severely!" said one of the Level 4 fighters of the Soaring Cloud Sect. Jiang Fei was the disciple of a Level 5 master. Hurting him would surely invite the wrath of the Level 5 god-like fighter!

"Are you daft? Just kill him silently without anyone knowing about it! Make him literally disappear from this world. If you're regretting this now, I'll reveal the secret about you killing your fellow female apprentice to my uncle!" said Ye Zhangfa.

"Urgh… Whatever you say, young master! I will follow your orders!" said the man when Ye Zhangfa threatened him with his own secrets.

Those who were chasing after Jiang Fei were Ye Zhangfa's blackmailed henchmen, besides the Level 4 Vampire.

To attack and assassinate a Level 5's apprentice was a heavenly crime that would surely result in a death sentence if discovered. However, if they did not carry out Ye Zhangfa's order, it was also a death sentence. The Level 4 Vampire was different. He was there only to obtain Jiang Fei's blood. The blood of a Level 4 fighter was precious to them. Of course, he did not know who Jiang Fei really was.
