The cold and indifferent voice that seemed to be devoid of any emotion finally suppressed the restlessness of the other four.
In the dim light, Crow could still be seen slowly raising his head to reveal his thin and indifferent face. The gaze in his eyes was so cold and sharp that no one dared to look him in the eye.
"Don't forget.
"Why did we come back.
"If we lose our pride and courage when we mention that guy, then what right do we have to claim that we will rise to the top again in this new era?"
The other four were quiet. After a while, Shield's deep and powerful voice rose again.
"But that guy … will still be our most terrifying obstacle."
Indeed.
The five of them reunited in this new era. Their goal was to return to the top and pick up the glory that belonged to them in the past. With their strength, even if they were to fight their way to the S-Series World Finals, they would be able to look down on all their opponents of the new era.
But only that man.
If the other party really returned and stood in their way again, then even the five of them might not have the slightest chance of winning.
Crow was silent. After a while, he slowly spoke again.
"Yes, if that guy is still around, he will indeed be the most troublesome obstacle."
Even someone as proud as him and as strong as he was had to admit that even the true King of Esports in Korea, Lee Daozai, lost to that man countless times. Crow and Li Daozai were at most on par with each other, but there was always a gap between them and that man.
Even the so-called leader of the Four Kings in the new era of esports, Lee Daozai's descendant, Han Shihao, was infinitely close to or even equal to the top players of the previous era. But if he were to compare himself to that man in the past …
He was still one step away.
That man was truly invincible.
But …
Fortunately.
Crow's indifferent and deep gaze slowly swept past his companions. "There is one thing we can be thankful for. Because that guy … will not appear in this new era."
As soon as he said that, the other four people's bodies trembled at the same time.
Shield suddenly raised his head and stared at Crow. He asked in a deep voice, "What you said … is it true?!"
The other three's gazes were also fixed on Crow. Crow's tone returned to indifference. He nodded slightly.
"That's right.
"I can give you a promise for my words."
Perhaps it was because Crow's promises had never failed him, and were always effective, the other four instantly heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Crow's words. However, J's brows furrowed tightly as he questioned again.
"But … why?"
"That guy should already know about us."
As old rivals from the previous generation, they indeed understood that person's personality and temper. Perhaps after retiring, he would indeed choose a more leisurely and undisciplined lifestyle, but since he already knew of their plans to return, there was absolutely no reason for him to sit back and do nothing.
This was the most important reason why they couldn't sit still.
J, for example, was considered to be on par with Ghost in terms of strength, second only to the core leader, Crow. He was also one of the Yonko, but he still could not help but feel fear whenever 'that person' was mentioned. It was enough to show how much pressure that person exerted on people from the previous generation.
Crow fell silent again. After a while, he said in a low voice,
"Yes, that guy should know of our existence."
"But he has a principle —"
"That guy once said something like this before he retired. 'Everything of the previous generation belongs to the previous generation, and the future belongs to the new generation. There is no need for the old man of the past to intervene in the battlefield of the new generation.'"
His tone was indifferent and deep, as if he was repeating someone's words without the slightest emotion.
At the same time, the other four were silent. They could imagine the scene of that man making that announcement to the world back then. They could even imagine his expression and tone.
Indeed …
This was that person's style.
"So —"
Crow continued to speak indifferently, "Even if he knows of our existence, that guy will not do it himself."
He paused for a moment before he added with a blank expression, "That's right.
"He has also trained a disciple."
"Everything will probably be handed over to that disciple of his."
Such a sentence was like a boulder falling into the water, causing a ripple. It shocked the other four European top powerhouses of the previous generation.
"His … disciple?"
J suddenly came back to his senses, but his face suddenly darkened, "Are you talking about the CN 006 that we met in the European server?"
Crow narrowed his eyes, a deep and cold light flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"It's also the Lin from Nightingale (Nightingale's Dark Battle)."
"Maybe … it's the CN Hook2 that appeared in the King of Korea Group later on."
J's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.
"Does he think he can stop our plan with just a junior of the new generation? Isn't that fellow a little too arrogant and overconfident? "
Arrow and Shield also had the same expression on their faces.
"What right does a kid have to do that?"
"Even if it's that guy, he shouldn't underestimate us!"
Ghost's sinister sneer sounded, sending chills down their spines, "That guy made such a stupid decision. This time, he must pay the price —"
Crow's expression remained indifferent to the reaction of his companions. He just swept his gaze over them one by one.
"So, there's nothing to worry about.
"Everything will be carried out according to our own plan.
"As for that guy's disciple …"
He paused for a moment, as if he was suddenly reminded of the dozen or so consecutive matches he had with a certain someone in the European server's King's Group, as well as the last match. A strange light flashed in the depths of Crow's eyes, but it quickly turned into a cold and indifferent one.
"If we really meet him —"
"Just let me take care of him."
…
Magic City, Shanghai.
KG Team Club Training Base in Zhabei District.
The atmosphere in the training room was still as quiet as ever. The surrounding KG players who were watching the match were all tongue-tied. They did not get to see the specific situation of the solo kill in the middle lane, but such an outcome was enough to surprise everyone.
Clockwork …
Single-killed by Ice Bird.
Although Ice Bird's equipment development at this time was stronger than Clockwork's, Clockwork was not that bad either.
Under normal circumstances, in a random game, or even in a professional match, a cautious Clockwork would not be killed by Ice Bird before the opponent's jungler arrived, right?
"Is it … a technical error?"
One of KG's substitutes mumbled subconsciously.
Demon Ghost's face was dark and he did not say a word. Deep down, he was inclined to believe that was the case. Otherwise, he would not be able to accept the fact that he was killed purely because of his strength.
But —
In fact, it was really a matter of strength.
On the blue team's side, Lin Feng lowered his head in front of his computer screen and did not say a word. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the mouse in his hand.
On the opposite side, on the purple team, No. 1 was also in front of his computer screen. His expression did not change as he looked at Clockwork's corpse not far away. He only shook his head slightly and sighed regretfully.
"Still …"
"Just a little bit more."
