The Ryan Hotel was located on the outskirts of Manchester, not far from the Milton Arena that was about to host the S6 World Finals, and across from the Hilton Hotel that had almost been chosen as the official hotel.
Walking through the lobby, he came to the elevator under the respectful and polite greeting of the doorman. He took the elevator all the way to the top of the 16th floor, walked through the long corridor to the end, and pressed the doorbell in front of the door.
A moment later, the door was opened from the inside.
The man stepped in.
He walked into the incomparably spacious and even luxurious presidential suite.
The area of the suite was perhaps one hundred and fifty or sixty square meters. The living room was dimly lit, and only the lights from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows could vaguely reflect the outline of the decoration in the living room.
The person who had just come to open the door had also walked back at this time.
So the man looked up, and saw five figures standing or sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Although they seemed to be just standing there casually, the aura emitted by these figures seemed to carry a formless and terrifying pressure that caused one's heart to palpitate as it slowly spread out.
The man's pupils contracted subconsciously, and his eyes flashed with a bit of sharpness and sharpness like the edge of a blade.
It was not fear.
Because looking at the entire world of professional e-sports, from the previous generation to the current new generation, even including "that person", no one was qualified to make him feel the so-called fear.
It was just that at this moment, it was a kind of subconscious instinctive vigilance in the face of a dangerous enemy.
Yes.
With the man's status or strength, there were almost no opponents in the world of e-sports who were qualified to pose a threat to him.
But at this moment, the five figures in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room of the presidential suite …
Could definitely be counted as one.
Li Daozai laughed coldly, "Pretending … Since you're already in Manchester, why don't you dare to book a room in the Hilton Hotel? Instead, you sneak to this place."
…
The man was Li Daozai.
He was the number one player in the Korean e-sports circle in the previous generation.
He was the founder of the F family's legacy.
He was also a legend who could be regarded as a top player in the previous generation.
It was clear that he and M were responsible for personally leading the team, leading the members of the three club teams in the Korean LCK division to Manchester. Perhaps it was to coordinate and take charge of the decision-making matters for this year's world finals —
At least that was the speculation of most outside media and people.
But it seemed that everyone was wrong.
When the members of the three Korean clubs in the LCK division went to Milton Stadium to check out the venue, Lee Daozai, who was supposed to be the highest decision maker and person in charge of the LCK division, unexpectedly came to this place.
They arrived at the presidential suite of such a hotel.
He had a secret meeting with these five mysterious existences whose faces he couldn't even see clearly.
Old friend?
But from Li Daozai's sneering and mocking tone, it seemed like the relationship between the two of them wasn't very harmonious.
When Li Daozai's mocking voice rang out, the five people in the living room of the suite were silent for a moment. After a long while, they heard an equally cold and indifferent voice slowly ring out.
"We're not you. Our current identities are somewhat inconvenient. It's always good to be careful."
"Besides —"
"We need to keep this a secret."
"Including you, Li Daozai, I don't think anyone would want to take the risk of information being leaked … by that person."
Even in the previous generation, there were very few people who dared or were qualified to speak to Lee Dao-jae in such a tone. However, at this moment, the voice was calm and steady, and the cold tone revealed that it was as if the legendary number one person in the previous generation of South Korea would not budge an inch.
The voice came from the second seat on the left of the five people by the floor-to-ceiling window.
With a height of more than 1.8 meters, although he could not be considered burly, he was extremely tall and slender. The aura that he faintly exuded was as deep and piercingly cold as the abyss and the mountains, almost making people unable to breathe.
And this man indeed had the right to speak like this.
Because he was J.
Even among the five figures in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he ranked second in terms of status and strength.
He was also the first of the five European legends from the previous generation to truly "enter the world". He had revealed a bit of his strength in the new generation of professional esports, and had already caused a stir in the world esports circle. He was even directly confirmed to be a terrifying powerhouse whose strength was at the level of the Yonko.
Li Daozai's gaze also looked towards him, and the coldness in the depths of his pupils was slightly sharp. But when he opened his mouth, he let out a faint sneer.
"After saying so much …"
"Aren't you admitting that you're afraid?"
His words finally caused the other existences in the living room to become angry.
A brown-haired man with a pair of long and narrow eyes, who was relatively smaller than his companions, shouted angrily.
"Li Daozai, you should be more respectful!"
Next to him was a man who was also over 1.8 meters tall, but was so much more muscular and majestic than J. His voice was muffled, but it was as if it was ringing in people's ears.
"Even if it's you, you don't have the right to criticize us like this."
The figure standing in the shadow of the corner seemed to be almost hidden, but he laughed with a sinister and eerie voice that made people's teeth ache and hearts palpitate.
"How strong can your South Korea be? The great Li Daozai still lost to that guy — "
His tone was eerie and piercing, but in comparison, the content of his words was sharper and more vicious.
Li Daozai's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and the chill in his voice deepened.
"I was wondering who it was."
"So it's you, Ghost. Back then, you were beaten up by 004 until you became a wandering ghost. That's a good match for your ID."
When these words came out of his mouth, he replied with the same eerie and cold tone. It was as if his words had hit the vitals of the existence in the shadow, and his voice suddenly became shrill.
"What did you say?!"
Seeing that the atmosphere of the topic seemed to be getting out of hand, at this moment, a voice rang out.
"Enough."
It was just two simple words.
Even the tone of his voice was calm and indifferent, devoid of any other emotions.
However, it was this one sentence that had a hint of coldness in it. The players from Ghost, who had just been angered by Li Daozai, suddenly fell silent.
This also made Li Daozai's cold gaze subside slightly, and for the first time, his gaze flickered as he looked at the figure sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Among the five of them, there was only one person who could make a decision with a single sentence, and had such prestige and authority.
Apart from that person in China, Li Daozai was the only person he was truly wary of.
If Li Daozai's status in the Korean esports circle was compared to that person in China's China esports circle, then the crow in front of him … was the number one person in the European esports circle who had been hiding behind the scenes for two generations.
