The Great Thief

In the current top four round of the competitive season, it was now Ruling Sword’s home match against Gale Legion after Drizzle Court’s home match against Glory Capital.

Gale Legion was different from Peerless City.

Peerless City was an ally of Ruling Sword. Although everyone were competitors, they were still on good terms. Even if they couldn’t have a great time together, they weren’t at odds with one another.

Gale Legion on the other hand…

Lu Li had once stolen one of their Wild Bosses – Queen Silith. He had even taken the items, which made Gale Legion furious.

There was another time when Lu Li had infiltrated the Horde to complete a quest. That time, he had the orb Deception Orb and met Gaze. The two of them had fought for a while, but due to their circumstances, they had to finish the battle in another time.

Later on, they fought each other a number of times in matches and on the battlefield.

Gale Legion and Peerless City had taken wins and losses when fighting each other, but Gale Legion had never won against Ruling Sword.

On the plane from Shudu to Jiangnan City, most of the Gale Legion players weren’t saying much. They had some small talk at the start, but they mostly fell silent after some time. Unconsciously, this game had cast a shadow over them.

“Hey, do you guys really think that March Rain is a newcomer?” Wendelian looked confused.

When the topic shifted onto a beautiful woman, everyone became a little more energetic.

Flowing Wind had his eyes closed, but he propped up when he heard March Rain’s name.

“She should be. I remember a special interview done with her, and she said that she had barely played games before Dawn.”

“How do you know what she said is true?” Wendelian questioned deliberately.

She knew that Flowing Wind liked March Rain. After all, March Rain was quite a strong player and fit into Flowing Wind’s image of a goddess. The reason she asked that question was to bring some energy into the environment. They were about to compete and if they kept going like this, they would probably lose 10-0.

“Why would she lie? Does she look like a liar to you?” Flowing Wind couldn’t sit still.

He was a Paladin and he aimed to be a pure damage dealer. Currently, he had not yet reached the tipping point in his build where he was able to achieve the feared Paladin damage.

Although his potential didn’t seem as great as a newcomer like Kitty Likes Meat, the gaming circle was generally optimistic about him. After all, he was very young at 18 years old.

“Who knows? Maybe she deliberately said that she was a novice. Novices do get extra attention after all,” Wendelian retorted which annoyed Flowing Wind to no end. If she wasn’t their party leader, then he probably would have gotten into an all-out argument with her.

That’s right – Wendelian had become the party leader of the Gale Legion club because of her excellent commanding ability.

She had once served in Glory Capital and had learned from Sorrowless’ commanding tactics. She used to be Sorrowless’ Healer, but was later replaced by White Westhill. It was said that she was actually quite a good commander, but she existed completely in Sorrowless’ shadow.

Later, when she felt like she would never truly grow in Glory Capital, she left to Gale Legion.

Now, she had become the party leader of the Gale Legion club, which was what she wanted. Even if they lost to Ruling Sword in these matches, her position wouldn’t be affected. After all, she had made it into the final four, which was better than Blood Red War Flag.

However, Wendelian wasn’t ready to admit defeat and was still finding a way for them to win. This was one of the necessary traits of a Party Leader.

After discussing March Rain for a while, they asked Gaze to talk about the veterans. He shared some stories about Moonlight the God and everyone’s nervousness began to fade.

By the time they got to gossiping about Lu Li and Water Fairy, the atmosphere had reached its peak.

They first talked about what each party saw in each other. After all, Water Fairy had been infamous in the public eye for being very cold. No one was brave enough to ever confess to her in the last few years.

Lu Li had shown amazing game talent and was now the boss of a major club, but he had come from a very poor family. Water Fairy’s family on the other hand was completely out of his league. It was like putting a flower into a pile of dung; how much nutrition could the flower really get out of it?

There was also some talk about how much progress they had made together.

Wendelian mysteriously said that she had a friend who saw Water Fairy in Jiangnan City, where Lu Li probably would be. Perhaps they were not only dating but were already living together?

“Gr, I have to kill him!” Torrent’s eyes were red.

If Lu Li was in front of him, he definitely would have tried to beat him up. Everyone else was filled with a similar indignation. Even Flowing Wind, who didn’t like Water Fairy, bore this grudge against Lu Li.

Wendelian smiled as she looked upon this scene; she was laughing in her heart.

In fact, she hadn’t done anything but stroke their hatred of Lu Li. Now, the morale among Gale Legion was high and there was a good chance that they would play well.

“It’s a pity I didn’t kill him last time. What a waste,” Cloudy Leaf sighed.

When she heard this, Wendelian quickly added, “Killing Lu Li doesn’t actually do much. You can see that Peerless City hasn’t killed Lu Li, but it hasn’t affected their position. I think if we are able to defeat Ruling Sword as a whole, that would be a real blow.”

“Yeah, if we can defeat Ruling Sword, then Lu Li would definitely be ashamed. They are a new guild, but they are making it seem like Glory Capital is the only threat to them. Who do they think they are?” Gaze agreed.

He was the most expensive star player on Gale Legion, but he was similar to Moonlight in that he didn’t like to participate in management activities. As such, he gave up the position of Party Leader to Wendelian. He could immediately see what Wendelian was trying to do, and so he quickly followed suit.

As such, on Gale Legion’s plane, a heated discussion began.

As the host, Lu Li had to come forward to receive them. He personally went to pick them up from the plane. They had run into a reporter from a news outlet and had no choice but to accept their demand for an interview.

This news outlet was a normal news company that generally reported on political news, or anything major happening in science or technology.

When he saw this media outlet in front of them, Lu Li’s first thought was that this was a fake reporter.
