Strategists Reincarnation Death Match 103 Meng Tian's Update

(BQ) "Humph, I'm not eating here with scrubs like you. You three can stay if you want, but I'm leaving." Bai Qi said as he turned around to leave.

(MT) "Heh, shouldn't you show your superiors a little bit of respect? Just leaving without even greeting us?" Meng Tian said poking fun of Bai Qi.

(BQ) "You got lucky is all, if you had even one less element of your plan to take me down missing, then I would have been the victor." He was halfway out the door when Meng Tian interrupted him one last time.

(MT) "You should know better than most that it doesn't really matter about what ifs. All that matters is the result, and the result is that you lost to us."

Bai Qi said nothing and left before he exploded with anger.

(MT) "Well, he sure took that well."

(LM) "You shouldn't tease him like that. I get it, he is a really hard person to be around, in fact I dare say that there are only a handful of people in this community that hates his guts as much as I do. His actions are deplorable and some of the most bloodthirsty campaigns are under his name. However, he is still one of the 4 co-leaders of the third highest ranked faction here. You should not let us lose face like this, and especially not like what you did before executing him like that back in the sim." Li Mu lectured him.

(MT) "Though I am courteous, I feel like having no remorse on this planet is the best response to people like him who just don't know when to quit. Senior Li Mu."

(LP) "Haha, I haven't seen Bai Qi defeated in such a long time, I was wondering when he was going to get his reckoning. Let's stop this discussion before we have to fight each other over who said what." Lian Po said trying to deescalate the situation.

(BM) "I think that is enough, Meng Tian. Picking a fight with them is not in our best interest at the moment. I'm sure it is hard enough for us now that we have killed one of their figureheads. Should we provoke them any further, I'm not too sure we have any chance of winning the faction selection tournament." Baron whispered into Meng Tian's ears.

(MT) "Very well, this is a time for celebration, we have won a pretty decent award, and you, well you won an entire portion of the tournament. Let us all just sit down and keep to ourselves. What do you say? Save the work talk for later." Meng Tian announced.

(LP) "Sounds good to me. Let's go sit over there."

With that awkward meeting out of the way, Baron's group continued to their talk about their futures. Out of the corner of his eyes, Baron saw that Lian Po had set a rather peculiar device on their table and it emitted a sort of bluish tinge around them almost enveloping them in a sort of way.

(BM) "Hey guys, do you know what that device is for? I mean other than emitted some blue light?"

(GY) "It's a pretty rare object around these parts. Through my dealings with the other higher ranked elders, I have found out that it is actually a device that encases a person or group and doesn't let sound get out from that bubble of blue light." Guan Yu said proudly.

(YF) "I have only heard of a few rumours of such a device, I had no idea that it was actually real." Yue Fei marvelled.

(MY) "Is that really what that was for? I have been wondering what that was for." Meng Yi said with furrowed brows.

(MT) "Hmm? When have you seen it before?"

(MY) "Well, after I was killed by Bai Qi in that simulation, I was watching very intently on the screen that showed what was happening inside the sim. Bai Qi was the person I put most of my attention towards. When you guys launched that all out attack he also pulled out a similar device."

(BM) "Come to think of it, that device would be pretty handy in wars. If we could talk while making sure that no one could hear us, that could make or break our run. I wonder if this is one of the blueprints that the Sun Alliance faction keeps inside their treasury."

(GY) "I think if it is, one of us should surely use our chance to take it. There are no shortage of ways that this could benefit us."

(BM) "Agreed."

(MT) "Baron, I hope you haven't forgotten our deal."

(BM) "I haven't don't worry. You and your brother are set to leave after you help us achieve our goal of becoming an official faction. Why? Are you planning on staying after all?"

(MT) "That isn't it, I have got some rather bad news. I received a message from my father recently and it seems that me and my little brother will not be able to help you out if we fail the faction selection tournament the first time."

(BM) "Oh I see, before you could help us if we failed the first time, right? Now you can only help us for the coming faction selection tournament… that's fine, we just have to win the first time around is all." Baron said with a confident grin on his face.
