Chapter 381: Operation Sparrow (I)

Harmless Sparrow is asking for help and I can feel in her voice her desperation. Her desperation to escape and be free on her own decisions. I am not well knowledgeable about her guildmates in Blue Sky but if we are talking about the vice president of the guild then it is another story.

So why can't Harmless Sparrow escape the guild by herself? It was because she is not the one who controls it. She might be the president but the one who freely controls the guild is the Vice President. What if she leaves the guild? She can do that but from the looks of it, the guy must have used something to prevent Harmless Sparrow from leaving, like some blackmail material.

In the past timeline, she left the guild, and a few months later, the guild disbanded. I also heard that she didn't join any guild after that and she was eventually forgotten. However, she left the guild on her own. Perhaps in those past years, she managed to find a way to counter whatever is keeping her from leaving her guild. But since it was still very early and the year she left her guild is still a year away, perhaps she still has no way of fighting against it.

However, perhaps the reason she wanted to ask for help now is that she cannot handle it anymore. She might have endured everything in the past timeline because she has no friends she can ask for help with especially if they are in the guild themselves or they don't play the game. Now that she managed to forge a small connection to us who are not affiliated to her guild in any way, she decided to give in and ask for the help she needed the most.

"Tell me what is happening. You need to be more specific on how I can help you."

"I may sound selfish but I want to get out of here, on the cage that everyone made for me. I wanted to be free. I wanted to be able to do my own decisions without being threatened or being treated like a piece of crap."

"So you are saying you want us to destroy the guild just  so you can get out from this mess? Is that it?"

"No. Although I am desperate, I don't want to endanger my friends too. I am just asking for help to help my plans in bringing down this guild. I can't afford to keep it running under someone tyrant and dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

"My current fiancee, although I don't agree to be her fiancee snce it was a forced bethrothal, is a manipulative bastard who keeps my father on a leash. If my father says no, betray his orders or even defy his goals, he won't hesitate to drag my father and my family to the mush. One word from him and the business that my father built from scratch will disappear."

"I know it was a dire situation for you, but... what's in it for me and for everyone else?"

"Huh?"

"This might sound rude, but is there any benefits from us that we will get from helping you?"

"I..." Harmless Sparrow can't say anything.

"You indeed wanted to go and escape out there, but this plan of yours is pretty dangerous, even for me, it wouldn't be something I wanted to even do as we are going to face someone with power using money. Seeing that he can grab your father's collar and keep him in a leash, means he has money to spare and can easily fork them out to do anything. We are just ordinary players, Sparrow. Even if this is a game, but seeing how serious they were, I can easily say that they will be capable of putting a person to harm easily. Do you want anyone from the group to be like that in real life too?"

"..." Harmless Sparrow can only stay quiet. 

"I apologize but even if you are in trouble right now, I can't endanger everyone on your problem."

Harmless Sparrow didn't respond for a while before she sighed on the other side of the line.

"I apologize for my impulsiveness, Bladeheart. I didn't think too much and just decided to think for myself. I didn't even think about the consequences like what you said. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for hearing me out."

When I heard what she just said to me, I grinned before I stop her from cutting the call.

"Well, it seems you passed, Sparrow. Well done."

"...Huh?" Harmless Sparrow is confused on what I am saying.

"Although I said those harsh words earlier, I am just testing you if you are trustworthy enough."

"What do you mean?"

"You decided to stop asking for help from others as you are afraid that you will be endangering the life of your friends right? If you have continued to keep begging for help earlier when I said those words earlier, you might not have a chance of getting any aid from me or anyone else. After all, we are going to face someone who has some influence. I only tested whether you would be willing to sacrifice others for your safety or to disregard your own safety for the sake of others. You have answered something I approve and therefore, I will aid you in this plan of yours."

"You...you will really help me? But you just said..."

"Ha, I also have my ways. Now, tell me what is your real intention to free yourself. Is it just to free yourself from the grasp of a tyrant or to break the group that this tyrant is trying to build?"

"Of course, I want the guild to disappear!"

...

...

After she said that she wanted the Blue Sky Guild to disappear, she decided to tell me what is the purpose for her to break the Blue Sky Guild and stop its operations. In the public, Blue Sky Guild is a decent guild for players but behind the scenes, the guild is a tremendous scam as they make newer players become cannon fodders. They have the same way of process of my last guild in the past timeline. It seems the guild in my past timeline might have some connection to the Blue Sky Guild due to this method. I don't know if my speculation is true but there is indeed a big possibility.

That reason alone is enough for me to activate my inner drive to get rid of the guild immediately. Since that was the case, I proposed a plan for the guild to lose face and get Harmless Sparrow out of the cage that is called the Blue Sky Guild.

"Let's call this operation, "Operation Sparrow" for the sake of getting you out of that sh*tty guild. Also, prepare for your own ways to make your fiancee lose everything too. They invested in the guild too much right? Then it is time to reap and harvest what they sow."

"I don't know why but you have indeed some weird ideas, Bladeheart."

"Hey, I am already helping you, why are you even criticizing my naming sense?"

"Haha, no no. Nothing like that. Anyways, I really appreciate it. I will be waiting for the good news."

After that, our call was cut off and I stood up from the chair I was sitting on and started stretching.

"It's still pretty early and I can guess there are lots of people in the streets right now. This is going to be fun," I grinned as I started to gear up.

...

In front of the Blue Sky Guild. 

Comparing to the guilds I have seen so far in this current timeline and in the past timeline, the guild building is too developed indeed. It is a sign that money has been already poured into it as an investment. Joining a guild like this would give you tons of benefits and beginner players would indeed be attracted to this offer but to think they are using this glamour to mask the evil intentions they have, it was quite unexpected. No wonder the moment Harmless Sparrow left the guild in the past timeline, it didn't take long for the guild to disband. It was already clear that it was in its final straws before it collapsed.

Since in this timeline, it is still being built in foundation, I decided that it is time to chip away the foundation of what they are trying to do.

Seeing that there are still a lot of players walking and discussing things in front of the guild, I decided it is the right time to strike and give everyone a good show.

Using my quick footsteps, I scaled the walls of the guild house and went to the top of the building, where the Blue Sky flag is waving. Without any hesitation, I slice the flag in half, causing an announcement to blare around the guild that caused the surrounding players to take notice of what I did.

Then, an announcement panel appeared before me.

[You have destroyed the guild flag of Blue Sky Guild. The Blue Sky Guild has been challenged to a guild war! Do you want to publicly announce the challenge?"

Yes/No

I didn't even hesitate and click yes and grinned.

[Announcement to all Guild Members of Blue Sky Guild! Player Bladeheart has issued a challenge to the Blue Sky Guild! The Guild will receive a 24 hours of preparation before the guild war will begin! Please prepare accordingly!]
