Eagle Snipe indeed came over to Hundred Ghost's office to gloat at his misery.
Why wouldn't he?
They might be from the same branch, but they were also competitors.
Since either one of them could have been the one to receive such a tragic fate, Eagle Snipe was pleased that the unlucky one wasn't him.
Nevertheless, his satisfaction was fleeting as his expression gradually turned cold.
"Although I'm happy about your misery, that player disrespected the Reaver Guild." Eagle Snipe said coldly. "Anyone that disrespected us should be dreaming if they think they can survive in the Divine World."
Suppressing his emotion, Hundred Ghost also nodded his head in agreement.
They were competitors, but that didn't mean some Tom, Dick, and Harry could mess around with them.
"I lost all my equipment, but this debt, I'll repay it back tenfold," Hundred Ghost declared, flames flickering in his eyes. "Set a bounty of 10 silver coins for Lin Feng's death. And if anyone can offer any information of his whereabouts, they can receive 50 copper coins."
Silver coins were still immensely scarce and valuable, so to offer a value of 10 silver coins, goes to show how infuriated Hundred Ghost was.
Meanwhile, Eagle Snipe didn't bother teasing the latter and nodded in agreement.

Riverwood Town
"Alright, I guess this is where we split off." Xu Feng calmly said once they arrived at the town.
"You're not going to follow me?" Carmen inquired.
Given that her mission was completed mainly because of Xu Feng's contribution, she felt a bit guilty to hog all the rewards for herself. Not to mention, she got his Superior Uncommon cloak and all the rewards dropped by the Ironhide Behemoths.
"I still have something to do, plus I already gained a lot." Xu Feng calmly responded, feeling gleeful that his stagnated level had risen tremendously. He was now level 10 after the repeated death of Hundred Ghost.
Although the killer was Jeff, he assisted by reviving the latter and since Jeff was an NPC, most of the experience points were delegated to him. As for Carmen, she didn't receive anything because she didn't assist in the fight.
"I guessed we split off here then," Carmen nodded.
"I'll take my leave as well," Jeff announced. His commission was completed, so it was time to split off from the team. After all, he was just a hired mercenary.
Just like that, the trio who had been partying went their separate ways, with Xu Feng heading to the Town Hall.
'It's really surprising.' He thought, glancing at his mission being completed and needing to head to Receptionist Sandy to confirm it.
During the time he spent with Carmen, the other players weren't idle.
In fact, they were extremely active in raiding all the Hideout locations, with some even managing to kill the ringleader.
Unfortunately for them, none of them are getting the real benefits aside from him.
Sure, they might have some amazing equipment, with the ringleader actually dropping a rare piece of equipment, but it was still not worth the time and effort.
As Xu Feng arrived at the Town Hall, Sandy's face lit up.
However, she seemed to have realized Xu Feng preferred to stay lowkey so she simply pointed at the upper floor.
Nodding his head, Xu Feng began walking upstairs, astonishing the other players in the lobby.
"Look, he can actually head upstairs."
"Could he be that mysterious player?"
"Hmm, that's hard to say… his appearance doesn't match. Not to mention, we are almost qualified to become citizens in the town anyway. So it's not rare to see anyone heading upstairs."
"You're right. It's been said that Guild Leader Gentle Wind already became a town noble and received the privilege."
While Xu Feng was minding his business, he was surprised by the conversation. 'Gentle Wind is a noble huh. It seems like I really need to act fast.'
Shortly after, Xu Feng arrived at the corridor of the 2nd floor, patiently waiting for Sandy.
While waiting, Xu Feng was browsing the forum page, and as expected, someone had placed a bounty on him.
10 Silver Coins for whoever kills Lin Feng with proof, and 50 copper coins for whoever has information regarding Lin Feng's whereabouts!
The bounty post garnered quite the attention, especially with the juicy payment for the current streams of players. 1 silver coin to them was considered a luxury, not to mention 10 silver coins.
Of course, when compared to him, that kind of money was pathetically low.
"Well, two can play at that game." Xu Feng mused, reading through the comment section.
Wow, Hundred Ghost is actually posting a bounty on a player!
Heh, that's the Reaver Guild for you. They are overbearing, but they have the capability to back it up!
Indeed, Reaver Guild is a First Rate Guild, close to reaching the status of Super Guild. Their financial assets are unreal, and their members are all experts.
Reading them, Xu Feng silently posted a video, along with the caption "Reaver Guild? Are they strong?" in the forum.
The moment his post went public, the players who were camping on the forum, clearly taking a rest after their grind, were shocked.
"What the heck? Player Lin Feng actually responded to the bounty." One of the players sitting by the bar, spat their drinks out upon noticing a new post.
After all, Hundred Ghost had just posted a bounty on Lin Feng in the forum, and Lin Feng instantly hit back, along with a video.
However, what astonished the player more was the video required a fee of 1 silver coin, and if players who bought the video wanted to share it must pay a fee of 50 copper coins.
"This is a scam!" The player stood up and shouted.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Look at the forum and see the post that player Lin Feng posted."
At first, the people in the bar were confused, however, when they checked on the post and saw the exorbitant price of the viewing fee, they were astonished.
"What's wrong with this Lin Feng?"
Despite saying so, one person gritted their teeth and decided to pay the viewing fee.
A few minutes later, his face turned ashen gray, "No wonder Hundred Ghost was so adamant in wanting Lin Feng's head."
