   "Oh, no problem. I'm glad you like my gift."

Reus put his widest smile on Rosevince, making the man so angry.

Rosevince desperately wants to go inside the prison and beat Reus with his own hands, but he realizes it's not time for that. Rosevince took a series of breaths and exhaled before looking at Reus.

   "I have a good offer for you and your friend."

   "Offer?"

Reus's eyebrows shot up upon hearing that, he could see Rosevince putting aside his grudges and resentment towards Reus and appearing to seriously discuss the offer in question.

Rosevince explained that Gaia's Tree intended to recruit Reus and Ikshan as members, they would also be given certain positions if they accepted.

Reus' powers make no sense to a solo player. Although it was only a branch Legion though, not many players could do as Reus did other than the Hundred Best Player.

Although there were still many strong players capable of taking out an intermediate Legion branch like Gaia's Tree as Reus did, almost all of them had already entered into the Great Legion.

Ikshan's ability is no less deadly than Reus. Although not so highlighted because most of the attention is diverted to Reus, Gaia's Tree players who fight Ikshan in the back region witness that Ikshan is one of the dangerous players unknown so far.

Of course Gaia's Tree doesn't want to miss the opportunity to sign two promising players like Reus and Ikshan.

As a payment, Gaia's Tree promised to release both of them from the death penalty which would be carried out in about a week.

   "Hows it? Not a bad offer, is it?"

Rosevince grinned at the feeling Reus and Ikshan were already within his grasp. He clearly understands no player wants to lose his account, especially after trying to get to this point.

Reus replied that Rosevince had a meaningful smile, of course he suspected that this kind of offer would come out of the mouth of a Gaia's Tree. The Legion is in a war against another Legion, they will need every help available, including foreigners but high-powered like Reus and Ikshan.

   "There are no consequences? After what we did to the Legion?"

   "Of course there are, you must be killed until you lose a minimum of ten levels first before becoming part of the Legion. Ten levels is no big deal for you guys who are level 200s and above, right?"

After Rosevince finished speaking with a confident smile, Reus and Ikshan looked at each other for a moment before laughing out loud. Reus laughed the loudest until the guards were not far from there on standby.

   "Ah sorry, we just laughed at your stupidity."

Ikshan had stopped laughing first so he raised his voice while wiping his tears that seeped slightly, while Reus still had difficulty controlling his laughter. It was an upset mixed with wonder in Rosevince.

Rosevince hit the prison cell hard not to bear with Reus who was still laughing.

   "What's so funny?!"

Ikshan laughed again at Rosevince's response but not as loud as before, Reus himself who had calmed down also spouted his laughter once again. This time it took longer for the two to calm down, making Rosevince's anger peak but he remained patient for the sake of his Legion.

   "Haaah, I haven't laughed in a long time."

   "So did I."

   "Baji-ngan! You guys playing me?!"

Rosevince's patience limit was almost broken when the two players behind bars spoke as if ignoring him so Rosevince once again hit the cell venting his anger.

   "Why are you so angry? Didn't my friend tell you why we laughed because of your stupidity? What's your problem?"

Rosevince choked on his own breath hearing Reus' words. His eyes glared so much that they almost went off looking at Reus full of anger, and even veins could be seen on his temples.

Rosevince turned around and approached the guard in charge of the prison lock.

   "Give me the key to the cell, I'll have to get in to kill the wedge a few times."

The guard nearly fell to his knees when Rosevince glared at him with a murderous lust. He could only surrender while handing over the keys he held with trembling hands.

The reaction of the guard was not to blame, most ordinary soldiers in the kingdom like Lavore Kingdom did not have high levels. Probably about 150 and below, while soldiers leveled 200 and above were elite soldiers who were selected into certain special units.

Without hesitation Rosevince walked towards the cell door and unlocked it, he was about to enter along with the great sword on his back intending to cut Reus' body to dozens of pieces, but the intention vanished when his gaze found Reus was taking a run.

   "This is why we laugh so hard. Dragon Powers! Dragon Spirits! Sprint!"

In one footing Reus was able to approach Rosevince while giving a sharp elbow attack on the upper part of the heart to throw the big-bodied man hit the wall and cause a loud noise.

   "I did use a sword, but I never said I wasn't able to use my own body to attack."

Reus looked at Rosevince who was stiff without awareness thanks to his powerful lunge while rubbing his painful elbow.

   "By the way, this hurts too."

Currently Reus was not wearing any Equip so his HP was reduced quite a lot thanks to the attack just now. Fortunately he was able to access the Inventory after exiting the cell so that Reus could drink the HP Potion to recover the lost HP.

   "Ah, it tastes better than the drinking water provided. My throat's getting fresher."

Reus' face seemed so carefree after spending one bottle of Potion in a few gulps, it was understandable considering all this time he and Ikshan were always given dirty water as drinking water.

Indeed, as players both Reus and Ikshan can consume their own urine to meet their water needs without any side effects, but it is very unethical.

   "They're out of the cell!"

   "Don't let them go!"

The guards standing not far from there immediately acted, they took up arms and pointed them at Reus while threatening.

   "Back to your cell! Otherwise we'll be rude!"

Reus smiled sinisterly at the guards before raising his left hand and throwing them all over the wall using Telekinesis. The sound of collisions of armor and walls was so loud that the echo in the prison was quite loud.

   "Ikshan, it's your turn."

   "I know, you don't have to remind me."

Ikshan sighed as he went through the prison door, then fired the Jamming Ball at the guards who were trying to get up from the floor. When the Jamming Ball touched one of them, all the guards fell back without power.

Reus threw the Energy Potion at Ikshan before taking out a similar Potion and consuming it. His energy was quite drained thanks to using Dragon Power and Dragon Spirit at the same time, not to mention Telekinesis on several different objects.

Jamming Ball owned by Ikshan also spent a lot of energy. Given that there was a chance that a large number of guards would arrive after hearing the commotion here, the faster the Energy recovered then the higher their survival capabilities as well.

While consuming the Energy Potion, Ikshan interrogated the guards regarding where their weapons and equipment were secured. At first no one was willing to answer, but Ikshan whispered some things he could do to get the information he wanted.

   "You don't want me to do that, do you?"

The guards were about to shake their heads but their bodies could not move thanks to Ikshan's skill. In the end they told him where the weapons and equipment of the prisoners were kept.

   "Are we going straight there?"

Ikshan looked at Reus who was still busy drinking the umpteenth Energy Potion bottle in the last few minutes in surprise.

   "Wait a minute."

Reus took one of the weapons lying on the floor and then doubled himself using the Body Clone, he created three clones using 70% of the Energy he had. Two clones have 10% of their total status, while the other one has 50% of the original Reus.

   "What are you planning?"

Ikshan raised his eyebrows in astonishment with Reus' actions which he had not predicted before.

   "Well, you'll see."

Reus gave a meaningful smile without explaining further.
