Chapter 131: Robbed
Shua!
Aldric jumped up to leave as he began to sense some people approaching, obviously wanting to investigate what was happening.
He went to Heaven Valley City, walking while looking at the scenery just to ease his mind.
Something caught his attention when he arrived in front of the Heaven Valley Alchemy Shop where he learned alchemy from Anna.
In front of the shop, there were several people gathered.
Besides Anna, Aldric saw Ramsey as well as his most powerful grandson, Luca, and some neat-looking middle-aged men, accompanied by young men or women who might be their children.
They were discussing, seemingly in a bad mood.
From afar, although he could sense their presence without looking, he could not hear their conversation.
However, he guessed they were having some serious problems. Probably a problem in business.
(Do you need help, it seems like you're having trouble?)
Aldric sent a message to Anna.
After all, the woman did not mind helping him. He naturally didn't mind helping her back.
Anna seemed to read his message right away, which made her somewhat surprised.
Her eyes then looked around as she suspected he was around.
Quickly, she found him.
When she saw him, she immediately waved her hand to him, asking him to come closer.
Soon he stepped towards her, which earned him the gaze of Ramsey and the others.
Ramsey instantly knitted his brows as his impression of him had gone bad ever since he refused his request.
"Lady Anna!" Aldric was casual in front of the men and simply greeted Anna.
The other middle-aged men should also be players.
Since they were joining Anna and Ramsey, they must also be wealthy people who probably did business with them.
"Aldric, what a coincidence that you're here, can you help us?" Anna didn't mince words, saying right away that she and the others needed help.
Ramsey might not like Aldric, but he had seen his power and found his help useful, so he remained silent.
"Lady Anna, what help do you need?" Aldric asked with a thin, friendly smile.
It made people feel at ease with him, especially the young girls who were with their father, their eyes instantly shining.
"Who is he? Is he a model or an idol? Why haven't I seen him before?" The girls discussed in low voices.
"It shouldn't be because I've never seen him. He's probably just an ordinary person."
"True, but look, isn't he very handsome and dashing? I think he's the most handsome man I've ever seen."
"His name is Aldric, I wish I could be his girlfriend."
"Hey, I want to too..."
"Hmph, I'm afraid he already has a beautiful girlfriend."
"So what if he already has a girlfriend? I can snatch him away from his girlfriend. Any man would want a new beautiful woman."
"..."
Actually, Aldric still heard their conversation even though they were speaking very quietly.
It could not escape his hearing.
His face almost twitched from hearing such things from the daughters of the rich, making him think that girls were increasingly not knowing decency.
He didn't bother with them, just stared at Anna, waiting for her to explain.
"Aldric, the problem is like this," the woman said.
"Our West Gate Merchant Alliance headquarters was robbed and we lost a lot of treasure. Most of it is treasure we bought from other players with real money."
"What?" Aldric was stunned to hear that.
The West Gate Merchant Alliance was the richest alliance in the Eldorn Region, they controlled a lot of trade and Aldric knew that players were starting to almost control all of the merchant alliance's shares.
They used a lot of real money to get it all, but their headquarters was robbed, it was hard to estimate how much they lost.
The problem was that it was their headquarters that was robbed.
Who was so brave?
"This was done by players from Southeast Asia. They are a mafia network there and in this game, they still use their ways in the real world," Anna added, making Aldric even more dumbfounded.
From Southeast Asia, isn't that too far away? After all, this game has region divisions based on the player's origin.
While it was fine to cross regions, it was too far.
After all, between southeast Asia and the UK were the east and west ends.
In this game world, the region distances are also spaced like that and much farther apart because this game world is larger than the earth.
Since those players dare to rob, they must be highly skilled. Not only were they difficult to deal with, they were probably hard to find.
"Aldric, I know you have great strength, if you manage to help us get back our things, we will definitely pay you well," Anna said again.
"Lady Anna, how can I help, do you know their location?" he asked.
If the other party had already left, he was worried that the difficulty level of searching for them would become impossible.
"They've left, but we were able to keep track of their location with the help of some guilds. Right now they're in the Morlorn Region. Only, there they spread out into three groups and we don't know which group of them is carrying the treasures they stole. And we're not quite capable of dividing into three groups because the strength of these raiders is far above us. They were a really big group. Even when compared to us in the real world, they were much richer." Anna explained.
"Ohhh..." Aldric had not expected that the group would be so powerful.
This naturally made things difficult.
If the West Gate Merchant Alliance pursued them by splitting into three groups, the end result might be that each group would be defeated by the raiders.
With Aldric's help, one group would become stronger, but what if he was in a group that happened to encounter a group of robbers that didn't carry the stolen treasures? Your adventure continues at empire
However, this problem wasn't really complicated since Aldric had three bodies.
It was just that, if he pointed that out, Ramsey would probably go berserk first.
Except, each of the clones is disguised as someone else.
