Legacy of the Betelgeuse

(At the Supremacist Clan base)

Kingstar and Queenstar are listening to Ivonna's explanation of the reason behind Trevor's actions. They both are listening so seriously and understand the situation on what's happening from who's Jariel, the reason why Avriel is with Trevor, the Headless Cult, Aspen is a part of the cult, killing of NPCs in Fjel town, killing NPCs of the Headless Cult, and lastly the reason why Aspen is the one who behind all the rumors.

Kingstar is humming with understanding.

"That makes sense, but why would he go that far just because of the death of the Headless Cult members? Sure, if I'm Aspen, I would be very pissed but to drag all the community to hate Trevor is just because of that? It's unbelievable. You can say that I was the same toward you all back then, but I never persuade other players to hate you all."

Queenstar is raising her eyebrows.

"The most reasonable answer is that he's jealous of Trevor and his achievement."

Kingstar is scoffing then laughs.

"Jealousy? He's jealous of what Trevor is capable of? If he's jealous in a game that treats all the players the same and it's all based on knowledge, hard work, and a bit of luck, then he's f*cking coward if he did this just because of jealousy. I think he did this because of something more than jealousy. He wants revenge and makes sure Trevor gets what he deserves for what he did."

Ivonna is nodding in agreement.

"That's what I thought as well. Also, Aspen became the disciple of one of the Wanderers. I have no idea about who's his mentor is, but my mentor was asking me about Aspen and she seemed worried and suspicious about Aspen, so I think there must be something that made her concerned about Aspen's decision to go outside the tower and find the Wanderers."

Kingstar is humming and nodding.

"Now that you mentioned it, do you remember what he said about the Wanderers? The way he explained it to us and how interested he was in them made me realize that something is off with him. I don't know how to say it, but it feels like he has a screw loose in his head. But again, I already disliked him from the first time we met."

Ivonna is about to open her mouth but then a VoW appears in front of everyone.

[Voice of the World]

[Warning! Hero [Trevor] has killed Hero [Aspen]! As punishment for Hero [Trevor] for killing another Hero, Hero [Trevor]'s EXP will go down to 0%, Hero [Trevor]'s [Fame] is reduced by 5.000, Hero [Trevor] will not be able to gain EXP, Drop Items for the next 3 days in real-time!]

They're all looking at the VoW and then look at each other. Kingstar is chuckling and then starts laughing.

"You know.... the more I look at Trevor from a different perspective, the more interesting this guy is. I used to hate him because of how arrogant and how cocky this guy is, but now I think he's just someone who loves challenges and playing with fire. I don't dislike him nor like him, he's just someone that took my interest."

Ivonna is looking at Kingstar and sighs.

"Do you know what this means?"

Kingstar scoffs and nods.

"Of course! This means war, but as you said. I will not be a part of it and I would love to enjoy the view this time."

Emma looks at Ivonna while furrowing her forehead.

"What do you mean it's war?"

Ivonna looks at Emma.

"Let's say since you're Trevor's Apostle, what would you do when you saw a VoW that someone killed Trevor?"

Emma raises her eyebrow.

"I would kill the person who killed Trevor, of course."

Ivonna nods.

"But this time, since Aspen is a hero, he has Apostles and Pursuivants, remember? Right now, or at least the data that I know about Aspen's Pursuivants are at least more than 10 million. Now imagine what would 10 million players would do when they see their Hero is getting killed by someone? They would hunt the killer, and in this case, Trevor will be hunted by 10 million players or more since he's blacklisted in the community."

Queenstar is looking at Emma.

"This means, Trevor could be hunted by billions of players for what he did now."

Francesca looks at Ivonna while resting her head on her fist.

"This isn't just a coincidence, isn't it?"

Ivonna shakes her head while taking a deep breath and exhaling deeply.

"No, I don't think this is just a coincidence and I believe Aspen already planned something similar, but the unexpected VoW made it perfect for his plan. Now all the players know and I don't think there's something we can do to help him. He's on his own now."

Chelsea scoffs and stands up.

"No, he's not alone. I'm going to help him."

Ivonna and the others are looking at Chelsea with disbelief. Ivonna is covering her eyes with her hand while sighing.

"Chessi... please... don't we all agree on this?"

Chelsea smiles and shakes her head.

"I changed my mind. If you have a problem with my decision..."

Chelsea spread her arms and raises her eyebrows.

"Come and stop me then."

Emma stands up and walks toward Chelsea, then she looks at Ivonna.

"I'm coming with Chelsea since we are both his Apostles. Even if we can't help him directly, at least there's something that we both can do for him. I don't want to just sit here and do nothing when the world is turning its back at him."

Emma and Chelsea then leave the room to meet Trevor. Ivonna sighs and leans on the chair. Kingstar is looking at her and then pointing his finger at the door.

"She's your younger sister, right? I like her."

Queenstar is raising her eyebrow while staring at Kingstar.

"You what?"

Kingstar turns his head immediately and looks at Queenstar.

"Nothing, I mean that I like her guts better than Ivonna."

Francesca is chuckling mischievously while staring at Kingstar.

"Have fun with the cold treatment."

Kingstar clears his throat and fixes his sitting.

"So, we are going to see 3 players against the world, huh?"

Michael is looking at Ivonna and raises his eyebrows.

"Are you sure you're going to let them go like that?"

Ivonna is looking at Michael from the corner of her eyes.

"I hate to admit but there's nothing I can do to stop her, really. She's just too stubborn to listen to anyone."

Hans nods up while looking at Ivonna.

"And? What's your plan? Are we really going to do nothing? I mean, I don't mind, but now that Chelsea is about to get involved in Trevor's mess, there's no way you would let her on her own, right?"

Ivonna is massaging her eyebrows while thinking. Francesca tilts her head and looks at Ivonna.

"You want me to look after the ladies, Ivonna?"

Ivonna shakes her head.

"No, don't. I need you right now."

Leonardo is crossing his arms and looks at Ivonna.

"So, what's the plan?"

Ivonna is looking at Kingstar and Queenstar.

"Can you promise us that you won't be a part of this?"

Kingstar scoffs.

"We won't. We are not stupid enough to fight him again and to be honest, I would rather stay being neutral now after the humiliations that he did to me. I don't want to make the same mistake again and now it's not just about me and the clan members, but this could involve the sponsors I received from the investors. I can no longer make the decision on my own, and I have to at least meet with them to discuss this if I want to take part in it, and truthfully, I don't want to waste my time attending a meeting just for something that's not my concern."

Ivonna keeps looking at them both.

"What if they want you to take a part in this mess?"

Kingstar and Queenstar look at each other and then Kingstar shakes his head.

"Then I will not attend the meeting and tell them it's bothersome. You can take my word, but of course, since you're proposing this to us, there should be a reward if I agreed with it, right?"

Francesca sighs loudly and stares at Kingstar with a blank expression. Ivonna nods in agreement.

"Of course. There's a reward for it. I will help you clear the dungeon that we found a few days ago."

Kingstar raises his eyebrow.

"Oh, the Lost Dynasty, Mauron Empire was it? Now we are talking. Alright, the Supremacist Clan will not take part in this mess, and not just that. We will convince Boschwell and his clan to not take a part in this, and if we are lucky, the other big clans that are our alliance will also not take a part in this as well. I will tell them that there's something far more important than just this child play."

Ivonna smiles.

"Thanks, Kingstar, Queenstar."

Kingstar scoffs and waves his hand while shaking his head.

"No problem. Maybe you should persuade Diamond and the others from the Eluna Empire's clans. They might be interested more about the dungeon than this."

Ivonna nods in agreement.

"Yes, I think I will."

Ivonna looks at Francesca and the others.

"You guys know what to do, right? Tell all the big clans leaders from the Eluna Empire to meet with us because I want to propose the same proposal to them."

Francesca and the others are nodding with understanding. Kingstar and Queenstar are looking at each other and nod. Kingstar stands up and looks at Ivonna.

"Well then, I will tell Boschwell and the others about this as well. So where are we going to meet? At your house?"

Ivonna looks at Kingstar.

"Yes."

Ivonna looks at Francesca and the others. They all nod then Ivonna looks at Kingstar.

"Yes, meet us at the house."
