Chapter 167: Ruthless Character
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Chen Mo? Why is he here?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm pondered for a while before saying, “Tell him that we’re not doing business today.”
“He’s not here to eat, he’s looking for someone.”
“For who?”
“Dark Wing.”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm paused for a bit again before she shifted her gaze toward Li Yi.
“Dark Wing, do you and Chen Mo know each other?”
Li Yi shook his head. “Chen Mo? I don’t know him. I don’t have any friends in the capital.”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm waved her hand at the staff member and said, “Go then, do as I said.”
The staff member left again but came back after a short while.
“Chen Mo asked Guild Master Dark Wing to come out for a while to talk about certain matters from one guild master to another.”
A flash of anger appeared across Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s face before she said, “This person is so annoying, just ignore him and tend to the other guests instead.”
“Hold on, did you just say Chen Mo? Where is he?” Li Yi moved closer.
“In the car outside.” The staff member pointed.
Li Yi made a brief noise that indicated realization before briskly walking outside.
“I thought they didn’t know each other?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm rubbed her aching forehead.
Chen Mo and Li Yi had never actually met so he obviously did not recognize him. However, he was very familiar with Chen Mo’s In-Game Name in King of Pantheon. Chen Mo was no other than the Guild Master of the Savage Tribe, Milk Dipper Solitary.
When Hua Feihua’s numerous scandals were revealed in the previous life, information regarding her husband, Milk Dipper Solitary was dug up as well. Thus, Li Yi remembered Chen Mo’s name from that time.
Ever since the previous incident when the “savage withdrew from intimidation”, Milk Dipper Solitary disappeared from the public eye while the Savage Tribe halted all of its activities and laid low as if they were about to disband soon.
One should not judge the Savage Tribe as weak simply because they were not famous now. Because in the near future that organization’s reputation would surpass even that of the three great guilds. Frankly, if it was not so much trouble, Li Yi would have considered forming a similar mercenary group as well.
When Hua Feihua’s affairs were fully exposed, Milk Dipper Solitary chose to peacefully break up with her. However, Hua Feihua’s arms and legs were quietly broken by someone not long after, which forced her to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Meanwhile, Yang Xingchen, the other leading character of this incident did not get a happy ending either. Once, when he was secretly meeting with his new girlfriend, his new girlfriend’s husband “unexpectedly” ran into them and cut his balls off on the spot. According to gossip and rumors, this incident was single-handedly planned by Milk Dipper Solitary. However, no one knew if the authenticity of the rumors was true because nobody dared went to investigate deeper into them...
Milk Dipper Solitary knew that it would not look suspicious for him to come to the capital. During such a large gathering, he would be able to blend in as long as he was slightly more cautious of his surroundings.
A luxurious Lamborghini Reventon convertible sports car was parked beside the road while Milk Dipper Solitary patiently waited inside while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
When Li Yi walked out, Milk Dipper Solitary smiled faintly. He flicked his hand towards Li Yi and said, “Get in the car.”
Without hesitation, Li Yi opened the car door and sat inside.
“Screech, screech, screech–”
The Lamborghini circled the ground on the spot before speeding off and leaving a trail of dust.
...
The expensive Lamborghini was parked beside the road while Milk Dipper Solitary and Li Yi sat in front of a roadside stall that sold mung bean milk. Each of them held a cup and drank while facing each other.
“Tell me why you’re looking for me,” said Li Yi in a straightforward manner.
“Could we move somewhere else? This place...” Milk Dipper Solitary furrowed his eyebrows.
“This mung bean milk is good.” Li Yi gulped down more than half a cup in one mouthful, causing Milk Dipper Solitary’s eyebrows to tightly knit together as he watched.
Milk Dipper Solitary pondered for a bit before saying, “I’ve already investigated that incident, many thanks to you.”
“You’re welcome. It was a piece of cake.”
“I called you out this time merely because I wanted to ask, why did you help me?”
Li Yi laughed. “Did I help you? When we were engaging in PK at that time, would you have retreated if I hadn’t done that?”
“You’re right.” Milk Dipper Solitary laughed as well.
“Yang Xingchen was also a friend whom I knew ever since I was young until now. Unfortunately, I misjudged him.” Milk Dipper Solitary angrily clenched his fist while his eyes gave off a heavy ominous glint.
Li Yi said, “Time reveals a person’s true heart, both the good and the bad will become clear in the end after undergoing the test of time.”
“That makes sense.” Milk Dipper Solitary raised his mung bean milk and vigorously downed a big gulp before he suddenly wrinkled his mouth from the sourness.
“What are you planning to do next?” asked Li Yi.
Milk Dipper Solitary stared at the cup of mung bean milk in his hands and faintly smiled before saying, “I’m just going to wait first.”
Li Yi was stunned.
Milk Dipper Solitary forced a smile and said, “Although the evidence I’d collected had already indicated that Huahua did not merely have an affair with Yang Xingchen but even had a questionable relationship with another person, I haven’t seen anything yet with my own eyes. Thus, I’m giving them a chance.”
“...” Li Yi was speechless.
From the situation that he was aware of in the previous life, Milk Dipper Solitary was a ruthless person. Hua Feihua’s limbs would not be broken by someone for no reason. Other than him, who else would have done such a thing? As for Yang Xingchen, that individual was not only very famous in the game world, but was also a wealthy pampered son in reality. Hence, would a normal person dare to do anything to him?
“... Then what would happen if you’ve see it with your own eyes?” asked Li Yi again.
Milk Dipper Solitary briefly laughed and drank the remaining half of his mung bean milk in one gulp before viciously declaring, “I’d make them suffer for the rest of their lives!”
These were definitely not merely empty words because Milk Dipper Solitary had indeed done that in the previous life.
Li Yi shook his empty cup and asked, “Do you want some more?”
“Yes, another cup!”
“Haha...”
...
An hour later, Li Yi and Milk Dipper Solitary burped once they were full before driving back to Century Aristocracy. However, Milk Dipper Solitary still did not go inside. This was because the gathering inside had nothing to do with him.
“Remember to call me the next time you come to the capital.”
“Of course.”
Milk Dipper Solitary started the engine and drove off.
“Dark Wing, how do you and Chen Mo know each other?”
When he returned to the hall, Little Elf from the Magical Realm was slightly more surprised when she saw Li Yi’s expression.
“From the King of Pantheon game. His in-game Name is Milk Dipper Solitary, didn’t you know that?”
“I didn’t know. I’ve never told anyone that I played this game either. Moreover, my relationship with Young Master Mo could merely be considered as professional.”
Li Yi smiled and said, “Is Chen Mo very famous in the capital?”
“He’s actually the second generation of the four masters of the capital who’s currently becoming popular so you’d think that he’d be pretty famous, right?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm respectfully raised her glass towards Li Yi.
“Cheers! Li Yi raised his glass as well and clinked it against her’s before he emptied it in one gulp.
“Burp...”
Due to drinking too much mung bean milk earlier, Li Yi burped continuously the moment the alcohol entered his stomach.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm faintly smiled and said, “It seems like Guild Master Dark Wing’s alcohol tolerance is inadequate.”
“What? Does Director Yang want to PK me now?” snorted Li Yi.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm clapped her hands once and said, “Alright, why don’t we bet 10,000 Guild Points to see who can drink more?”
Li Yi sweated profusely before saying, “100,000 Guild Points would be fine too. If you want it, I can just give them to you directly.”
“That’s unacceptable, public and private matters are separate. I earn my Guild Points solely by relying on my capabilities. Come, come, come, let’s drink and play morra 1 !”
Little Elf from the Magical Realm yelled and instantly caused the gazes of the others to shift toward her. People came forward and started to encourage Li Yi and Little Elf from the Magical Realm to drink and play morra.
“Don’t we drink for the sake of getting drunk?” Li Yi had shed all his inhibitions as well. Since he was in a pretty good mood today, he naturally wanted to happily enjoy himself properly.
“Two little bees flew into the flowers. Flying, flying...”
Both of them moved their hands while the others joyfully cheered as the atmosphere in the hall turned lively at once.
While they played morra and drank, both parties won and lost. Since Li Yi’s alcohol capacity had always been good, he downed more than ten glasses in the blink of an eye. He was completely fine but Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s eyes was already hazy because she was slightly drunk.
“Mom, mom, stop drinking. Uncle, uncle, don’t drink with my mom anymore.”
“What’s wrong, Lil Momo?” Under the influence of the alcohol, Li Yi gently pinched Momo’s little nose.
Momo sighed, “Mom’ll cry once she’s had too much to drink. It’s so scary.”
“Aunty Zhang, take Momo out to play.” Whenever Little Elf from the Magical Realm was displeased with Momo, she called the maid over to remove her out of the room.
“Come on.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm boldly raised her glass towards Li Yi but he did not stir.
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”
Li Yi said, “I’m afraid that you’ll cry.”
“If you can’t drink anymore, just say so.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm resentfully groaned. She held her wine glass and walked shakily towards Lil Man’s side before hugging her around her neck and sitting down.
“Sister Lil Man, let’s drink one each.”
“I don’t drink alcohol.” Lil Man frantically waved her hand.
“Aren’t you going to eat?” asked Li Yi. This young lady did not remove her mask or sunglasses the whole time she sat at the table as if she was worried that someone would recognize her.
“I’m really not going to.” Lil Man was slightly anxious.
“Then Sister will give you something to drink.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm raised her head and emptied her glass. A series of enthusiastic claps immediately echoed throughout the ballroom, encouraging Little Elf from the Magical Realm again.
Li Yi’s table was merrily drinking while Chen Yang who sat at another table had already drunk a lot while being surrounded by a group of Orc girls. His tongue was already twisted while his speech had become somewhat stuttered as well.
“Come... Come... Come, let’s drink... I... I can still drink.”
Chen Yang held a wine glass and raised his head before he poured the entire glass down his nose. He coughed a few times before lowering his head on the table in deep sleep.
The group of Orc girls was kind. They came forward one after another and carried him back to his room to rest.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm shouted into the microphone and said, “We’re not going home before we get drunk tonight. Relax, everyone. If you can’t leave today, you can just stay here.”
“Leader Lil Man, aren’t you hot?” Li Yi sat beside Lil Man.
“I’m not hot.” Lil Man wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead.
“Then why are you dressed like this? Are you worried that someone will recognize you? Or are you related to Lord Bao’s family 2 ?”
“Lord Bao?”
“You look dark.”
“You...” Lil Man was so furious that she had nearly stood up and hit the table with her fist.
Li Yi moved his head closer and whispered, “Look, everyone is playing around so happily today so why don’t you show it off?”
“Show what off?” Lil Man cocked her head to one side and looked curiously at Li Yi.
“Get up on stage and sing a song for everyone, like ‘Mermaid Princess’ or something.”
Without waiting for Lil Man to answer, Li Yi stood up and walked up to Little Elf from the Magical Realm and took her microphone before yelling, “Quieten down, everyone. Miss Lil Man, the leader of Platinum Hand, would like to sing a song for everyone. Would everyone like that?”
“Yeah–”
The guild members in the hall roared altogether.
