Chapter 950 John's Weird Decision
As things headed down this path, the leading board of the girls\' stand kept changing all the time! Even girls like Ro and Lina, ones who came without much or any backing at all, got a chance to get on top of the ranking at some point!
Time flew fast, and two months passed while William was locking on himself, training without any care of what was going on out there. He didn\'t know that the simple task he entrusted John with took a very drastic turn!
John knew it was impossible for him to recruit anyone to his side. He wasn\'t one of those girls, not taking part in the competition. And in the middle of all the craziness William unleashed, it was impossible to find masters willing to take part in his special mission.
And then it suddenly hit him out of the blue!
"It may be impossible to recruit masters to my aid, but dark masters… They will be willing to help, right?" he knew it was going to be risky if he went out there and tried to recruit dark masters to his side.
First he didn\'t have any dark element to begin with, and then it came down to all the craziness everyone had against dark masters right now. Not to mention he didn\'t know how William would react if he heard about such a thing.
But he got no other solution for this. He tried to recruit normal masters, ending up getting mocked and even chased away by many.
"Traitor!" that was what many shouted at his back. And he understood why they called him this name.
"That William… Why does he always love to stir trouble and send me to do impossible things?" John shook his head, before deciding to take the risk, "what\'s the worst thing that can happen? Getting exposed and chased down by them? If that happens, I\'ll simply run towards the nearest gathering of normal masters and ask for their help…"
He summed up his courage, and decided to do it. Yet he lacked many things. First of all, where he should go, how to find these dark masters, and how he\'d convince them to join him.
The last part was the easiest to solve. He already took part in tons of operations against these despicable masters, and collected tons of their uniforms. All he needed to do was to wear one, imitate how Ibra acted, and everything would go fine for him.
In his eyes, if he had to pick anyone to be a dark master from the gang, it\'d be Ibra for sure. William might be a good candidate, but he rarely spoke to the team unless there was a mission or a hellish training awaiting for them.
He knew Ibra more than he knew William, even if he knew the latter much earlier than the former.
John then thought about places he should go and recruit dark masters. To do this, he listened to the news spreading about the recent updates from the frontlines, even paid to get more exclusive information, detailed intel about battles in places he could easily access using the portals.
"That place looks perfect!" he heard there was a place in the middle of the continent, one that was close to the borders of three different kingdoms. It was filled with tons of dark masters, something that John wanted.
"Let\'s go there," he decided, instantly walking towards the portal area, booking a portal and paying its fees before heading towards that place.
He appeared inside one large capital, one that looked like the Novistic kingdom\'s capital before the attack on it. He went out, headed with swarms of masters who were coming here to support the girl fighting in the region.
The one fighting here was surprisingly the current number one runner in the entire race; Anjie! She was here, fighting with lots of her father\'s elite masters. She selected this place as it was rumoured to be filled with tons of dark masters and monsters.
She wanted to score it big, especially with all the hectic changes happening so far. John moved towards that location, when Anjie heard the news.
"Damn it William! Why did you have to leave your seclusion!" she bitterly smiled, knowing that she was going to suffer the most out of other girls.
She knew William did so to balance the odds. Now it didn\'t matter if one hailed from a royal family or came from a big city, all girls had a shot in winning over him.
"I told you, someone like him won\'t sit down and accept you doing things on his behalf," one of the most trusted elites, one of the royal family, said to her. He was her uncle, and he previously warned her against doing all this behind the man who was in the dead central spot of all this.
"He was away back then, it\'s not our fault he loves to train this hard, tsk!"
"You should learn something from your future man then," the uncle laughed, and she showed a childish and funny expression that she rarely showed to anyone.
"Stop causing trouble and start working," the uncle laughed again, "I\'m sure all of your competitors are eager to take your spot now, hahahaha!"
"Uncle, are you with or against me?" she shouted. And before her uncle would stop laughing and respond, she heard a voice she never expected to hear at this place.
"What the hell are you doing here?!!!" she held John\'s Message Paper and shouted in excitement, "are you here to help me? Hahahaha! I never expected that!"
"No, I\'m here to stop you," John said something she never expected.
"You are kidding, right?"
"No, it\'s the boss \'s orders, what can I possibly do?"
