Vol 9 Chapter 217: Lost

It was also because of the immense prestige caused by this incident that the command of this attack fell into the hands of Xie Chen. After the soldiers of the army went through the last battle, something happened. There seemed to be a problem internally, so they didn't catch up with this time, and this result happened to be what others expected.

After several trials and difficult strategies, the seventy-fifth floor guarding BOSS skeleton hunter finally fell. However, there were still casualties in this battle, even more than the previous one.

They could only accept this result calmly, but Kirito didn't seem to think so. He looked at Xie Chen who was blocking him, frowned and asked: "Head, why are you stopping me?"

Xie Chen looked calm, looked at the group of people on the road ahead, and slowly said: "You just go over like this, what do you want to do? What do you think you can ask? What's more, if you ask If it doesn't come out, do you want to do it directly?"

Kirito frowned and said, "But Heathcliff killed someone! I saw it with my own eyes. Because of his command, that person will die. Don't you know all this better than you?"

Xie Chen turned around and looked at Tongren. After a while, he said, "I knew it, and then what? I already knew it."

"What?" Kirito opened his eyes wide, surprised, and then frowned more tightly. "Then why don't you go to expose him, find out his true face, and just watch those people die like this?"

Xie Chen chuckled, and then replied: "I regret the death of these people. But can you say that they wouldn't die even without Heathcliff? You know that we are now facing Your boss is getting stronger and stronger, and casualties are inevitable. I don’t remember you being such a naive person."

Kirito lowered his head, then raised his head again. There was a daze and some determination in his expression. He slowly said, "I understand what you said, but these are two different things. Being killed by a boss in the battle and being framed by others. Death, this is different. At the very least, I can't watch the person who killed someone live well and do nothing."

"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Xie Chen asked suddenly. Then Kirito froze for a moment, and then asked: "But Heathcliff..."

Xie Chen laughed and said to Tongren, "Tongren, do you think we are not like a good person? We know that he has a problem but we just watch it like this, but have you ever thought about why we don’t go? Expose him? Do you know the reason for this?"

Kirito opened his mouth, then fell silent, and said, "I..." He looked at the three people standing on the side, Xie Chen looked at him, there seemed to be a trace of disappointment in his eyes, Tiabello wrinkled on the side. Looking at him with her eyebrows, her expression is calm, and the smile that has been hanging on her face is almost invisible, but Asuna did not look at him, her eyes frowned slightly in the distance as if she was thinking deeply.

Then he said: "Maybe I was too impulsive." He smiled bitterly, wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he just stood there silent.

auzw.com The atmosphere was a bit silent for a while, and finally Asuna broke the dull atmosphere. She shook her head and said, "What happened today is actually something we did not expect. For the death of that person , I feel bad, I also want to question Heathcliff and even fight him, but obviously, I can't."

Kirito frowned and asked, "Why?"

Asuna twitched her mouth slightly, smiled bitterly, and replied: "I can't tell you the reason yet, but you know that we, and even Xie Chen who is standing here, your group leader, are temporarily unable to face him. Come on. You will know the reason in the end. Telling you now is not good for you."

Kirito wanted to ask anything more, but was stopped by Tiabello. He said directly: "In short, we have always been wary of Heathcliff. Today he will do something like this and it is our responsibility. , The plan is missed. But as a member of the guild, you have to obey the command of the group leader. Didn’t you tell you to follow the command before? Today you have to go to Heathcliff on your own will, yes Have you forgotten this command?"

"I didn't!" Tongren immediately retorted. He came to Xie Chen because he didn't, but he didn't expect that Xie Chen not only didn't support him, but even blocked his actions.

"Then go back and stay obediently and don't do unnecessary things. This is not something you can manage now. If necessary, we will tell you." Tiabeilu said.

Kirito pursed his mouth, then nodded, and said with a disappointed expression: "Okay, I understand." Then he smiled slightly, looking very bitter, "It seems that I really did something extra. But why?"

Xie Chen looked at Kirito's gaze, his eyes drooping slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "You don't seem to be in a good state now, and now the strategy war is over. Let's take a few days off and rest. Wait until you reply. Come back again when it’s almost done."

With a smile, Tongren seemed to have something to do, and said to Xie Chen, "That's okay." He looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Then I will leave first, and I will come back when I recover. Leader, Ya Head Sina, Head Tiaberu, goodbye." Kirito bowed his head towards them, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Asuna said with some worry: "Nothing will happen."

Xie Chen replied: "Don't worry, it won't." How could it be the original protagonist, how could it be silenced by this incident?

"That's good, in fact, he did nothing wrong, but Heathcliff's identity does not allow him to do it now." Asuna pursed her lips.

Xie Chen smiled and embraced Asuna and said: "Okay, don't think about him anymore, let's think about what to do next."..
