"What? What did you say?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, several Army players immediately strode over and glared at him viciously. The Army was the largest player guild in Starting Town—yet someone actually dared to oppose them?
"You dare speak to us like that? Are you trying to interfere with our mission? Come on, you're coming to headquarters with us for a little talk!"
As he said that, the man in the lead revealed a sinister smile.
"Or would you rather talk outside? Huh? Outside!!"
As he spoke, he demonstratively fiddled with the weapon in his hand. Yet in the face of the players' threats, Fang Zheng merely stood there, quietly watching them.
Then he spoke.
"Either is fine."
"You... what do you mean?"
Fang Zheng's answer left the people before him stunned. In the past, a simple threat from them would make others obediently comply. But this man was strange. He neither knelt down and begged for mercy like everyone else nor backed away. Instead, he simply stood there, looking at them as though... he were watching a pack of idiots.
"I said either is fine. Whether we go to your so-called headquarters or outside."
Fang Zheng smiled faintly.
"I'd like to see what you stray dogs are capable of."
"You bastard!! Come on, brothers, take him to headquarters!!"
Hearing that, the leading man immediately roared. With a wave of his hand, the others surrounded Fang Zheng, grinning savagely at him.
"Very good, very good. You've got the nerve to oppose the Army, huh? Then we'll show you what happens to anyone who goes against us! Move!"
In response to the Army players' furious shouts, Fang Zheng merely raised an eyebrow before following them away.
"Those bastards!!"
Seeing this, Asuna grabbed her rapier and wanted to rush over to help.
