"But —"
Suddenly, Number One's words seemed to have changed the topic.
"It's been a while, but it's not entirely true.
"After all these years, the others, including me, have seen each other quite a few times. Old rivals or old friends, we can occasionally get together for a chat.
"You're probably the only one who's been hiding, sneaking around behind the scenes, afraid to show your face."
The words "You damn crow" came out of his mouth.
The legendary warriors in the conference room could not help but feel their eyelids twitch.
Especially those who were the most familiar with No. 1's personality and temper. At that moment, they clearly realized —
This …
Was about to begin.
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Number One smiled at Li Daozai and said, "You're right.
"If you ask me, logically speaking, with F's style of doing things, if he really intended to cause me trouble, he should've come at me with real weapons. He wouldn't have resorted to such a dirty trick like stabbing me in the back, right?"
Li Daozai sneered.
"I didn't know you knew so much about me."
He did not admit it directly.
But he did not deny it either.
No. 1 shrugged with a relaxed expression.
"Don't stand on ceremony with this little compliment, just accept it."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Crow, who was sitting on the sofa at the end of the long table. He still had a smile on his face, but there was only extreme contempt and mockery in his smile.
"So …
"Come to think of it, other than a damned crow like you, there's no one else who could do such a thing."
Bang!
This time, without waiting for Crow to speak, Arrow, who was guarding at the side, slammed the table as if he could not take it anymore.
"001, that's enough."
"What kind of occasion is this? Watch your words and show some respect!"
Ghost, who was leaning against the shadows in the corner, spoke in a hoarse and eerie tone. His voice was like the hissing of a venomous snake, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it, "001, don't think that it's still the same as before. This is no longer your era. None of us here are people that you can casually lecture, so … you better watch your words."
His tone was filled with a menacing aura.
This time, without waiting for Number One to respond, Number Three, who had been leaning against the door with his arms crossed, straightened his body slightly and looked sideways at the shadowy corner of the conference room. His lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Consequences?"
"What consequences?"
"Back then, you were beaten like a dead dog and didn't even dare to make a sound. After so many years, have you forgotten your lesson and become brave again? You still dare to clamor here? If you have the ability, then don't hide in the dark all day. You weren't beaten into submission back then. Why don't you let me play with you again? "
Then, another cold and deep voice could be heard.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. It turns out that it's not just 001. Even 003, your temper is still as bad as before."
J was the one who spoke.
More than half a year ago, in Nightingale's secret battle, a simple move was enough to shock the entire new generation of professional esports, and he was directly recognized as an existence with the strength of one of the Yonkō.
At the same time, he was also the second core member among the five people of the previous generation in Europe, second only to Crow.
At this moment, J raised his head to look at Number Three and slowly said:
"There are some things that you should think about before you speak, otherwise it might cause a misunderstanding."
"Everyone here is also a veteran of the past. Back then, we had fought so many times to find out what the specific situation was. It's probably not enough for you to distort the truth with your words."
"Also —"
"If you really want to fight, don't pick the wrong opponent."
"If you're interested, the two of us can play a little more."
Number Three's eyes narrowed slightly, and gradually turned sharp.
"Sure."
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
"What, do you want to try it out now?"
The atmosphere of gunfire suddenly became extremely thick. At this moment, Number Five finally interrupted helplessly, "Alright you guys, since you want to talk business, then sit down and talk business. Don't let the topic get sidetracked."
While Number Five spoke, M, who was sitting next to Li Daozai, also took the opportunity to help smooth things over.
"Number Five is right."
"No matter what, everyone here is old friends who have known each other for so many years. More or less, even if we fight, we should at least have some friendship."
As he spoke, M's gaze swept across everyone present, and he smiled warmly.
"And putting aside our respective positions, at least after so many years, to have such a chance to gather together again is a very rare thing, isn't it?"
Indeed.
At this moment, everyone present in the conference room was not only the strong players who were active in the world's top competitions in the past, but also the seniors and legends in the hearts of the new generation of esports players in the major divisions.
Almost any one of them had an incomparably frightening status and weight.
Perhaps a light stomp of their feet could shake the entire esports circle.
And any one of them … had such influence.
So now, looking around —
Usually, even one of them would be extremely rare and mysterious legendary figures, but now, all of them were present.
There was Korea's Li Daozai and M.
There was North America's Bullet.
There was Europe's Crow and J, as well as Shield, Ghost and Arrow.
And there were also the five people in the China esports circle led by Number One.
These people.
Even if they were just gathered here.
Even if they were just standing in one place.
It represented the entire legendary era where the gods stood side by side and caused one's mind to surge and sway.
If there were old esports players who saw this scene at this moment, they might even be so excited that they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Following M's words, the atmosphere in the conference room also quieted down for a moment.
But soon after, Bullet's cold voice was heard again:
"Friendship?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't think some people here are worthy of friendship with me."
In one sentence.
In an instant, the harmonious atmosphere that Number Five and M had just tried to create was once again easily broken.
As soon as these words came out, Arrow, who was at the end of the long table, suddenly shouted angrily:
"What do you mean, Bullet!"
"Who are you talking about?"
The corner of Number Three's mouth curled up into a mocking arc. He clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, they haven't even finished speaking, and you're already in such a hurry to take your seat? So you also know if you're worthy or not — "
Bullet's eyes were filled with a condescending and cold attitude as he looked at Arrow:
"Of course I'm talking about you, trash."
"What?"
"You're not convinced?"
"Do you want to try again with me?"
"You!!" Arrow's face was almost livid with anger, but he couldn't open his mouth to directly respond to the opponent's provocation.
Number Three continued to fan the flames, "Yeah, if you're not convinced, then try a few moves. What's the point of being angry —"
Number Five and M could only smile helplessly at each other.
This time … their efforts were in vain.
They should have expected this. With these people gathered together, how could they really sit down and talk peacefully?
