"Retreat!"
"Spread out and get out of here!"
I had already taken notice that Toh was being escorted away by his thirty guards . I was already looking for the timing to make my own retreat and didn't give chase . As soon as he disappeared, the order came for the rest to retreat . They seemed to know that Toh had gone as well, so they scattered as soon as the order came .
I wasn't about to chase after all of them, but decided to clean up whoever was still in front of me .
"Why me…?" I plunged my spear into the closest deva .
"Because you're right there . I'm sorry, but you're just unlucky," I said to the fire mage, staring at her deadpanned .
I sighed . I had the choice to completely avoid fighting, but since I did have a small desire to fight them, I left the choice to Toh and Wanhu . They were more likely to choose to fight .
"Well, I might as well finish what I started . " I wasn't going to just leave Macau the way it was . I planned to make their lives hell in their own home, just like the way the Blood Prince did . "I'll show you how much damage a single worm can do . " I fled the area to where I was sure no one could find me .

After roaming around Macau for about thirty minutes, I found an abandoned building and headed inside .
"Good…not a soul . " I felt no trace of anyone trying to follow me . "It's a good thing I have Stop Watching Me . " It would have been difficult to escape anyone observing me . "I should still set up a failsafe before I begin my guerilla warfare . " I took out two Blank Warp Scrolls and recorded my location . Then I took out a Warp Scroll Ebonene gave me and ripped it .
I felt my body lift up into the air and in an instant I saw the Myth Guild headquarters .
"Oh! Mr . Lee, is that you?"
"Hi, Mr . Edwifu . It's good to see you again . "
"I was beginning to miss you when you left two days ago, but it's good to see you again as well . "
"I'm only back to take care of something . I need to get going again soon . "
"Well, since you're here, you might as well have dinner with us . I'm sure the guild master and vice-master will like to see you again . "
"Sure, that sounds great . "
I came back to Cairo to set up a Respawn Point here . There was every chance that something could go wrong .
The Blood Prince still managed to die at hands of the Myth Guild, even though he used guerilla tactics .
I went up to Shin's office to greet her and Ebonene . Not long after I entered, Naika burst into the room .
"Guild master! Lee Jiwon just fought against the San Tuan Guild in Ma…huh?" Cairo was eight thousand kilometers away from Macau . In less than an hour, news of the battle had already reached here .
"Mr . Lee!" Naika looked at me as if she saw a ghost .
"Hi, Ms . Naika . "
"The information I just received about you and Toh and Wanhu…"
"It's all true . "
"What's going on here?" asked Shin .
"Several days ago, I received an invitation from Toh and Wanhu . It was a bait to lure me into their trap, to use their Swap skill and steal my Stat points . I caught on and went to spring their trap in their faces . "
"So, that was the reason you asked about them?"
"Yes . I needed to know more before going in . "
"Why did you take on such a risk on your own?"
"I was confident . I knew I could foil whatever their plans were . And their bait was…pretty alluring . "
"If we know by now, then the rest of the world will know about your battle against them . "
"But I didn't…"
"Mr . Lee, you defeated the Blood Prince and seven deities on your own . You are now a rising star with no affiliation to any guild or group . I would expect all eyes to be on you . "
"She's right . Your name carries weight now . Had you had fought against a normal deva, the news wouldn't spread like wildfire like this . "
"I…I see . " I began to think I may have gone overboard .
"We already revealed to the rest of the world that the Myth Guild is your ally . If you wish to take the fight to all of the San Tuan Guild, then you have our full support . " The others nodded in agreement with Shin .
"No, that's alright . I'm thankful for the thought, but I can handle it . "
"Then will you cease this dispute with the San Tuan Guild?"
"From my intel, their pretty livid and don't seem ready to give in just yet . "
I smiled at what Naika just said . "I'm not ready to stop yet, either . It won't end until either of us readily gives in . "
"But the San Tuan Guild put Macau on the map . They may not have as many members as other guilds, but they are still a formidable opponent . You'll be alone…" Naika stopped and looked at me dead in the eyes . "You're not thinking…"
"I am . You've dealt with it before, right? A single man caused you quite a bit of grief . Ah, of course, I don't mean I'll do that to you . "
"We're not worried about that . We know full well how much damage that man caused us . The Blood Prince's guerilla tactics were…nothing to scoff at," Shin said, smiling . "Then, are you really planning to employ guerilla warfare in Macau?"
"Yes . As you said, I may be in good faith with the Myth Guild, but I am still a loner . I am their only target . It's game over for them if they can't stop me . They also have a lot to lose, don't you think?"
"True . "
"Besides, I learned a lot about the Blood Prince's tactics in that report you gave me . I might as well put it all to good use . "
Ebonene then spoke up after listening to the conversation . "You remind me of a child who found a fun toy to play with . "
"Who, me?" I was surprised at what he said . Ebonene didn't say anything else, however, and stood to the side, smiling .
There was truth to what he said, though; a truth I never thought was possible .
-In the past…I was so weak…but now I'm having fun toying with Toh and Wanhu, who were legends back then?-
Ebonene had to say it for me to finally realize it . I saw Toh and Wanhu the same way a tiger saw a rabbit . I wanted to prove to everyone how strong I was .
"I'm starting to pity the San Tuan Guild . "
"I see you don't like leaving things undone . " Shin and Ebonene spoke as if the outcome was obvious .
"But, the Blood Prince did so well against large numbers thanks to his Blood Curse . If it's Mr . Lee, I don't think…"
"No . " Ebonene cut Naika off . "I'm sure Mr . Lee will make Toh, Wanhu, and the entire San Tuan Guild learn just who exactly they messed with . I expect that the whole thing won't take longer than a month . All we have to do is kick back and watch a large guild fall . Don't you think so, Mr . Lee?"
" . . . " I couldn't reply right away . Ebonene had a knack for making it seem like he could read people's minds . "Yes . I should finish… what I started," I finally replied, confidently . It felt good having him on my side . "That is why I came back after only two days . I wanted to set up a Respawn Point here, in case thing go south . "
"I understand . We'll help you in any way we can . We're all in this together now . "
After that, we all left for dinner . I returned my quarters that night and took a well-deserved rest . I was going to be very busy from now on .
---
The next morning, I set up a Respawn Point at the Myth Guild's headquarters . Shin was there as well, to see me off .
I took out a Warp Scroll I made yesterday and used it .
"Do you think it's possible?" Rumors about what happened in Macau were buzzing all around Cairo .
"I do . He truly did become stronger after defeating the Blood Prince . I told you, didn't I; that I believe he had something holding him back all this time?"
"You said that when we first met Lee Jiwon, didn't you?"
"Yes, that's right . Whatever it is, it's slowly breaking . I'm curious as to who will be the one to completely break those chains for him," said Ebonene .
"We must have been extremely lucky, then, to share a common enemy . "
"We must have, yes . "
Soon, they all returned to their headquarters . Today, the Myth Guild was going to busy once again, if it wanted to become stronger as well .
---
Back at the abandoned building in Macau, I looked around the surrounding area . "Good, there's no one here . " It was time to put my plan into action .
It was simple . I just had to hit them where it hurt . I had marked the locations of all of Toh and Wanhu's casinos, hotels and nightclubs; their three cash cows . I was going to hit all of them and hit them hard .
I waited in the building until night came . At around 10 PM, I left the building and leisurely headed for Macau's inner city . My first target was the San Tuan Guild's largest casino, the Tihwa Casino .
