However, she spotted a particularly evil comment from the public chat room.
‘Disgusting gay people. Just go home and let your top f*ck you! Don’t embarrass yourself here!’
F*ck! As expected, this comment infuriated a lot of people. Sophia took out Sirius’ sword and dashed forward without hesitation, but someone was still faster than her. At this moment, Sophia could only see a sword flashing before her, then the evil comment’s owner was lying in a pool of blood.
When Sophia sheathed Sirius’ sword, she was shocked to find that the man who suddenly showed up and had a shining golden aura around him was actually Scary Phoenix! Why did the Lord show up suddenly?
Scary Phoenix killed a player without hesitation upon showing up. Then, he slowly kept his sword and remained unmoving. The audiences who had been making sarcastic remarks were quiet now. At this moment, they were thinking about whether they had made any rude comments earlier.
‘Hubby! Hubby!’ Call Me Taylor went to Sirius excitedly. ‘You’re awesome, Hubby!’
Sophia did not dare to speak a word as she felt weird with her ‘wife’ and ‘husband’ standing at each of her sides.
After a moment of silence, Dragon Fox sent an announcement to all servers. ‘Scary Phoenix has joined Dragon Fox.’
This news astounded the whole server and even the whole community of the game. Now that Scary Phoenix had joined Dragon Fox, who could possibly defeat them? No one could even hope to win now!
Sophia was shocked. When she was about to log out, Snow Fox informed her, ‘From tomorrow onward, be online everyday at 7 p.m. You aren’t allowed to be late unless you inform me in advance! Give me
your contact number as soon as possible so that we can contact you through phone if there’s any emergency.’
After replying ‘okay’, Sophia hurriedly scrammed. She was scared to join the championship after seeing Scary Phoenix joining. However, she had no reason to quit now! This championship could be called the Olympics of the esports world! It was the world’s largest esports tournament!
On the next day, Sophia went to get herself a new phone and a new number. Then, she gave Snow Fox her new contact number. After a while, Stanley called and said fiercely, “I don’t care who you are in real life. Now that you’re a member of Dragon Fox, I’ve got countless ways to kill you if you dare to run away!”
Sophia regretted joining this championship, but she had no way to leave now. If she really ran away, Stanley would definitely not let her off. Since this guy has said about killing me, he must have the capability to do so. Even though he probably doesn’t mean this literally, it’ll still be awkward once he knows my real identity! Not daring to speak, she waited until Stanley hung up on her.
Among the eight team members, four of them were professional esports players and were online 24/7. Meanwhile, Sirius, Scary Phoenix and both team leaders were part time players. Hence, they could only show up daily after 7 p.m. Every day, Sophia logged into the game on time to train herself and communicate with the other team members, coming out with strategies and providing assistance. Hence, showing up at 7 p.m. and resting at 11 p.m. had been her routine for a long while.
During that period of time, she would either be in the gym or prepare for her courses for the next semester in daytime. At night, she would either go home or go to the cybercafe to play games. Luckily, Scary Phoenix did not frequently show up as his skills did not need further training anymore. However, he would still appear sometimes to provide guidance. In contrast, Beast always showed up and called Sirius ‘Daddy’ whenever he met Sophia’s character. This made everyone feel rather awkward.
As The Imperial did not have any cybercafe nearby, Sophia could only get to the cybercafe across two streets on her motorbike. She felt more comfortable to play games in a cybercafe. Recently, she heard that The Luxurious 16—a real estate that was an imitation of The Imperial—already had people moving in.
It was a new residential area built by the Harper Real Estates and was quite near to The Imperial. Despite being just a copycat real estate and not as valuable as the properties in The Imperial, a lot of wealthy families still bought properties there to be neighbors with those in The Imperial. This was because residents in The Imperial were not common people!
Whenever Sophia went out to play games, she needed to pass by the entrance to The Luxurious 16, so she would peek inside curiously. She was wondering who would stay here. When she passed by The Luxurious 16 on this day, she peeked inside again after being stopped by the traffic lights. Little did she know that she would run into someone whom she disliked.
“Hey! Isn’t this Sophia?” A BMW stopped before Sophia at this moment. When its window was rolled down, Sophia could see Richard in the driver seat, whereas Xyla was in the passenger seat.
Xyla deliberately rolled down the window to talk to her. Meanwhile, Richard seemed to be in a bad mood and he did not say anything. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Xyla seemed very interested in talking with Sophia. “Why haven’t you gone home, Sophia? It’s the winter break now! Are you working part time as a delivery man now?”
Sophia simply ignored her as she waited for the signal to change.
Seeing this, Xyla said on purpose, “Which restaurant are you working for? Richard has just moved into The Luxurious 16 and is staying in the best villa there, Villa No.8 now. We’ll definitely order food from you in the future.”
Sophia despised Xyla in her heart. So, the Harpers are staying in this copycat estate themselves to bask in the reflected glory of those of The Imperial huh? Where did they even find the courage to be so proud of themselves? Hmph!
The moment the traffic lights turned green, Sophia rode her motorbike away, while Richard drove into the garage of Villa No.8. After the car was parked, Richard and Xyla got out of the car and Kayla also got out from the backseat expressionlessly. Kayla was limping on her crutches before them and she refused Richard’s offer for help.
“Richard, just go and do your stuff. I’ll look after Kayla.” Xyla stuck her tongue out and helped Kayla to her new room.
Recently, Kayla had more mood swings than before and she would smash things frequently. The kind Xyla was the only one who could speak to her now. When Xyla closed Kayla’s new room door, she heard Kayla saying coldly, “Xyla, can you lend me 5 million?”
Xyla was startled and immediately asked, “Why do you need so much money?”
Kayla sneered and said, “I’ve contacted Phantom Wolf and his price for killing a person is 30 million. I still can’t get enough money after withdrawing all of my money and selling all my jewelries. 5 million is all I need now.”
Xyla was startled to find that Kayla didn’t care about the consequences anymore. Hence, she was influenced as well, and she nodded. “Sure. I can lend you 5 million.”
It was the New Year in the blink of an eye, and New Year shopping had been done as well. Michael also returned before New Year’s Eve and fetched Nathan from the Fletchers too.
During the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, Sophia and Nathan were asked not to enter the living room. When Sophia took a glance downstairs, she saw people being busy in the kitchen and the living room,
and she could also smell incense burning.
In the living room, Michael had prepared a feast and respectfully put three black and white photos on the table. Then, he poured three cups of wine and kneeled down before each of the photos. The whole atmosphere was tense and serious.
Sophia could not hold back her curiosity, so she whispered to Nathan, “What’s your daddy doing now?”
Nathan had a serious expression too. “He’s worshipping the ancestors.”
