Breeze looked at Ye Ci and said, "I hope that Gongzi You will consider my offer. After all, this is something that will benefit both of us." His voice was very soft, with a hint of pleading, but between the lines, it was full of the arrogance of someone who was high up and above the dust.
This was Golden Era. This was Breeze.
Ye Ci thought that someone like Breeze, who had been in the gaming world for so many years, was probably someone with a lot of prestige in both the real world and the game. A person like him had probably forgotten what it felt like to be humble. Even when he was begging for help, his tone was as cold as ice, as if it was an order. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she felt a chill. Did he think that this fate belonged to him alone? Does he think that I, Gongzi You, am just an insignificant player that can be bullied by anyone?
"Is this why you're here?" Ye Ci smiled. She was someone who rarely smiled. Even when she did, her expression was as sharp as a dagger, which made her smile even more glaring. However, this smile was different. Her eyebrows were smiling, her eyes were smiling, and her mouth was smiling. It was as if her entire body was smiling. Her smile and the name 'Gongzi You' did not match at all.
Breeze did not understand Gongzi You's sudden change, but he still nodded cautiously, "That's right. That's the only thing."
Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief, "Alright then. To tell you the truth, Guild Leader Breeze, you came here for nothing."
Breeze was not displeased by Ye Ci's rejection. It was as if he had already predicted this outcome. His expression did not change at all as he continued, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to reconsider? "
Ye Ci snorted, "That's right. I don't want to reconsider. However, I wonder how Guild Leader Breeze is going to deal with me? Will they surround me and kill me in Red Lake City, or will they continue to send assassins after me? However, you have to know that no matter what method you use, as long as I don't agree to give you the Quest Lock, even if you kill me to Level 0, the Quest Lock will still be in my hands. " She smirked, "But I wonder if there's anyone in Golden Era who can kill me?" "Of course, I'm not sure if there's anyone in Guild Leader Breeze's Golden Era who can kill me.
Breeze sighed as he looked at Ye Ci with sincerity, "Gongzi You, you are indeed a top player. You have a lot of things that you can do for yourself. However, have you ever heard of the saying 'Pride is the beginning of destruction'?"
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes. "Ah, ah, this sentence sounds really familiar. It's just that … "She suddenly bent down and lifted Breeze's chin with her right index finger. Her face was so close that it was almost touching his face. Her gaze was sharp, and her lips were cold, "If I were to say that I only want to lose, would you be disgusted?"
Qingfeng stared at the face in front of him. Her breath smelled like orchids, but her gentle voice was filled with murderous intent. Gongzi You's facial features were not exactly beautiful, but she had a deadly charm that made it impossible for others to look away. Breeze could not help but think that this was what they called charisma. Just like now, such a frivolous and flirtatious action was done by her, but it didn't feel vulgar at all. Instead, it made people feel a chill down their spines. Just like now, although she was smiling, the viciousness in her eyes made people want to lean on her unconsciously. What a mysterious power. Perhaps this was Gongzi You, fierce and vicious, but not hateful.
However, it would make others hate her to the core.
"Gongzi You, with your current strength, you don't have the ability to defend the Mithril ore vein in the Southern Continent. Rather than letting it dry up, why not sell it for a good price?" Even though their actions seemed ambiguous to outsiders, the conversation between Breeze and Gongzi You could not be any more innocent. It was a conflict of interest between businessmen, which made their actions seem a little dangerous. "If you sell it, I can give you 10% of the Mithril ore produced in the Southern Continent to Up Everyday."
Ye Ci's eyes narrowed even further. She lifted Breeze's chin with her index finger, "So you're saying that you want to form an alliance with us?" She retracted her hand and rested it on her knee, "So you're saying that you want to form an alliance with us?"
"Why? Can't I do that? "Breeze raised an eyebrow.
"I remember …" Ye Ci spoke slowly, "Golden Era is our enemy."
"There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world, but there are eternal interests." Breeze stared into Ye Ci's amber eyes with a victorious smile on his face. He believed that he would be able to convince this woman.
Ye Ci chuckled. Her voice was cold, but it was strangely infectious. However, she soon stopped smiling, "That's all the more reason why I can't agree to it."
Breeze frowned. Things didn't go according to his plan, and this made him a little unhappy. "Is there a reason?"
"Didn't you just say it? There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world, but there are eternal interests. You're right. Right now, Up Everyday is too far away from the Mithril ore vein in the Southern Continent. But if I sell the ore vein to you, I'll be handing my life over to you in the long run. " The smile on Ye Ci's face disappeared, "Breeze, Golden Era is a powerful enemy. Without the Mithril ore vein, there aren't many people in Fate who can go against you. If I give the ore vein to you, no one in Fate will be able to go against you. By then, Up Everyday will be nothing. "
"I know what you're worried about." Breeze seemed to have predicted Ye Ci's thoughts, "We can sign a contract. No matter what happens, Golden Era will not infringe upon Up Everyday's interests, and will not do anything against Up Everyday. That should be enough for you."
"That's still not enough." Ye Ci shook her head.
This time, even Breeze was surprised, "Why?"
"Breeze, you seem to have forgotten something." Ye Ci stood up and bent over to look at Breeze, "You did not enter this game willingly. You were hired to do so. If I'm not mistaken, the boss behind this game is Heaven and Earth Corporation. Your goal here is to pull all of you out of Fate at the right time. Be it in terms of economy or social relations, you'll completely destroy the game. "
The relaxed expression on Breeze's face disappeared. He pursed his lips tightly. Even though no one could tell what he was thinking, the expression on his face showed that he was very unhappy. This kind of thing was extremely secretive. Even the higher-ups of Glory World did not know who the boss behind the scenes was. How did this woman find out about it?
Unlike Ye Ci, Breeze did not try to hide the truth from her. He stared at Gongzi You's cold expression for a long time before speaking up, "How did you find out about this?"
This time, it was Ye Ci's turn to laugh. She glanced at Breeze's face, then straightened her back, and said indifferently, "Breeze, you have your ways, and I have mine. If you can find out that the quest lock is in my hands, how can I not know that the boss behind this game is Heaven and Earth Corporation? Isn't there a saying like that? It's impolite not to reciprocate. I'm just doing what I'm told. Why do you have to look at me like that? This is how the world is. Didn't you already know that? "
Breeze fell silent. He knew that Gongzi You would never hand over the Mithril ore vein to him. He was not trying to think of a way to convince Ye Ci, but he knew that Gongzi You would never hand the Mithril ore vein to him. Although he was certain of this, he couldn't help but fight for it. After all, the probability of the word 'failure' appearing in Breeze's dictionary was too small. He didn't want Breeze to be smug about this matter. He stood up and looked at Gongzi You in the eye, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
Ye Ci shook her head, "Of course. We're in a different position, and that's why our decisions are different. If you want it, it will be the icing on the cake, and in the end, it will completely destroy this game. If I don't give it to you, it will be to protect my long-term efforts. I don't want my footsteps to stop at this place, and the result of stopping is because of you. This is the reason. " Ye Ci did not say another word. She stood there with an indifferent expression on her face. It was as if she did not know him at all.
Breeze looked at Ye Ci in silence. After a long time, he finally nodded. "I understand." Breeze sighed. He took one last look at Ye Ci and turned to leave, "Gongzi You, let's fight to the death the next time we meet."
Ye Ci looked at Breeze's back as he walked away. Her lips slowly curled into a smile. Then, her smile froze. She pulled out the dagger from her waist, twirled it in her hand, and sheathed it. Then, she turned around and walked into the arena.
Fight to the death. What an interesting phrase.
