It was just like a famous skit about "selling crutches" a long time ago.
The honest-looking fatty was so confused by the bluff that he called out a price in a moment of desperation. Following that, the Great Hoodwinker immediately agreed and said, "Deal."
The situation was very similar to what was happening in the booth in the coffee shop at the moment.
A moment ago, Bullet became more and more annoyed and distressed as he watched the video files. Coupled with the fiancée and fiancée opposite him echoing each other, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "If you guys don't care about it, I'll take care of it."
The next second, No. 1 did not hesitate at all. He immediately smiled and said, "If you guys don't care about it, I'll take care of it."
There was not even half a second of pause in the middle.
He quickly followed up.
He did not give anyone time to react at all.
Bullet could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he realized something. His eyes became sharp again as he looked coldly at No. 1 sitting across from him.
"Good plan."
"I've fallen into your trap again."
"You're flattering me." No. 1 waved his hand politely and humbly. "Let's just take what we need."
Bullet's expression returned to being cold and indifferent.
"So … this girl is from China?"
No. 1 laughed. "Of course. What else did you think?"
Bullet shook his head nonchalantly as if he had already guessed that this would be the answer. He had a mocking look on his face.
"You and Li Daozai are the same. Your hearts are dirtier than the other."
At this time, he was well aware of the current situation. Even if he took over the girl in the video he had just watched as his successor, he would never have absolute control over her like he did over Blade. Even if he put in a lot of effort to train this girl, there was still a high chance that he would not be able to keep her around in the end.
In other words, it would benefit the damn guy sitting across from him.
Or rather, it would benefit China's LPL division.
He did not expect to be able to force this girl to stay in their North American division because the guy sitting across from him would never let that happen.
In other words …
He was going to make a wedding dress for someone else.
"You can't say that."
Number One straightened his back and put on a serious expression. "At most, we're just taking what we need. Besides, I don't think you're losing anything, are you?"
Bullet sneered, "Oh? When the time comes, I'll just give you a Yonkō from the LPL region. Wouldn't that be a loss for me? "
The mockery in his tone was not concealed at all.
The information revealed in his words was equally frightening.
Giving away a Yonkō …
What he meant was that as long as Tang Bingyao was under his tutelage, she would definitely be able to reach the heights that all professional esports players dreamed of.
Number One shrugged.
"But, you've earned a successor."
"What could be more important than this?"
It was as if he was shamelessly quibbling, because it was clear that the other party was the only one who had to put in the effort, and the one who would benefit in the end was his side. Yet, he was still able to speak these words so eloquently.
However, these words seemed to have hit the nail on the head.
Bullet was silent.
After a while, the cold aura on his body slowly disappeared and returned to normal. He looked at Number One and said calmly,
"Before I agree, I have one condition."
Number One straightened his posture and looked calm.
"Of course, speak."
Bullet said, "I need to see her with my own eyes."
It was a very reasonable request.
In fact, at this point, the legendary existence of the previous generation in North America had basically made up his mind. He just needed one last confirmation.
So, Number One smiled when he heard this.
"No problem."
"She'll arrive in England tonight. Tomorrow at the latest, I'll bring her to see you."
…
Now that the serious matter was settled, there was no need to waste any more time. The careful and thoughtful Number Five left the table and went to the counter to pay the bill. Before leaving, Bullet turned his head and looked at Number One again.
"So, you really have a plan."
"For this new generation."
Perhaps others would not think too much about it, but for Bullet, it was enough for him to vaguely guess the outline of Number One's plan in this short period of time.
An ADC who was brought up by Bullet and was at least one of the Seven Kings or even one of the Four Emperors.
It was impossible for him to be brought up by a random team. Otherwise, it would be a waste of God's gift.
There must be a more meticulous plan.
Number One smiled and admitted calmly without hiding anything.
"Yes."
"Thanks to you, we should be able to fill in the core C position of the team."
Bullet raised his eyebrows. "What about the other C position? If I remember correctly, the kid called Maple that you brought up was defeated by Li Daozai's successor."
There was still a hint of mockery in Bullet's tone.
After all, this was very rare.
After all, in their generation, almost no one could really defeat the man in front of them.
"Li Daozai didn't win against you. I didn't expect his successor to beat your disciple."
Speaking of this, Bullet's tone had a rare hint of maliciousness and schadenfreude.
Number One shrugged.
"Don't say it too early."
"We'll see who's going to beat who."
Even though Bullet's tone was light, it made Bullet narrow his eyes slightly. "That kid … is coming back?"
Number One smiled. "He lost his reputation back then, so of course he has to get it back."
Bullet nodded slowly, but then shook his head.
"It might not be so easy this time."
"That Han brat has almost reached the same height as us in the past. Of course, he might still be a little weaker than you, but as long as he's given a little more time, this new generation might be his."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Number One.
"I heard that next year … is going to be a very important year for you guys?"
"But a lot of old bastards are coming out."
"Very soon, it will be time for the demons to run wild."
"With the many grudges you made in the circle in the past, I believe that there will be a lot of old bastards who will come to stir things up with ill intentions. After all, if they can ruin your plan in 'that matter', it will be the most satisfying revenge for them."
Number One's expression was still calm. He just smiled.
"Let them come."
"Grudges in eSports should be settled in the arena. I have no opinion on using strength to determine who is better."
"But —"
"It's only limited to fair duels in the arena."
"If someone wants to do something behind my back … I don't mind playing with them."
When he said the last sentence, the man who stood at the top of the world for two generations still had a calm smile on his face, but his smile was filled with a cold murderous aura that even Bullet, who was standing in front of him, could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
