The famous "Bensway" was an entertainment area in Floating Mech City. You could find anything you wanted here. There were several Elysian Pavilions in the city.
Almost everyone on the street was smiling.
However, Pride walked out of a small building at the corner of the street with a gloomy expression.
Standing in front of the small building, he let out a deep sigh and turned around to look at the building that wasn't too tall. When he saw the magic neon sign that read "Sky of Truth" at the top of the building, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
If nothing changed, he would be kicked out of his position by Mister Vonsman in a few days.
Once he lost his position, his girlfriend, Jolene, would probably leave him, and he would never have enough money to buy the Potion of Austere Night again.
In other words, he, Pride, would have to live as an ordinary mortal for the rest of his life.
His father and brother might be able to help him survive in Floating Mech City, but they were only apprentices. One day, they would leave Floating Mech City. Who could he rely on then?
In this man-eating world, it was unreliable to rely on others. Only by relying on oneself could one be worry-free.
But how could he rely on himself? He had to become a supernatural himself! His spiritual power level was 9. As long as he could buy the Potion of Austere Night, he would have a chance to become a supernatural.
But he needed money to buy it!
Pride lowered his head dejectedly and slowly walked away from the Bensway Curve Building.
Along the way, Pride kept thinking about how he had to keep his position as the chief editor if he wanted to make money, and the next issue of Sky of Truth had to sell well.
But to do that, he needed something that would make him famous.
But where was he supposed to find something?
Pride walked past the entrance of a Blissful House that was illuminated by rainbows. Two male apprentices staggered out of the house.
"I heard that 'Son of Ocean' Jebra has broken through the tenth level of Tower of Infinity, and he's a genius we can't hope to match."
"By the way, I heard Jebra has an old enemy. Is he going to participate in the Rising Star Competition?" "Mister Padt? How? Did you drink too much? How could you forget about this? Mister Padt is already a member of the R&D department. There's no way he'd lower himself to participate in the Rising Star Competition … "
The two male apprentices walked away with their arms around each other's shoulders. Pride listened to their conversation, and his eyes dimmed.
Two years ago, he was promoted to chief editor because he reported about Angor's discovery of Mystery items in Dark Castle and Isabelle's return to the south.
Now, he had to step down from his position because of Angor.
His reputation was growing day by day. Especially after he became a member of the research department, he was now the brightest star of the future.
As long as they could report more about Angor, the magazine's income would increase.
However, the Sky of Truth was just a small magazine. It didn't have many connections, and its news was outdated. How could there be any breaking news? For this reason, Sky of Truth didn't sell many copies even though it was still about Angor.
Sir Vonseman was already very angry after the consecutive failures of the first few issues. He had just ordered that if Pride did not improve in the next issue, he would fire him from the position of chief editor!
But how could he make the magazine look better?
Should he use the strategy given by his girlfriend, Jolene?
Jolene's strategy was to write about Angor from the opposite side. Because of the deep-rooted bad habits of humans, the thing they liked to see the most was the appearance of the person who was praised the higher they were, the more they would fall from the altar.
Angor was one of those people who was held in high regard.
If they analyzed Angor's flaws and described him as an example of someone who was bound to be overpraised, Angor might actually be able to find a way out of this mess.
Jolene's strategy was a good one, but Pride was hesitant.
He didn't want to use this method.
It was not that he was a righteous man. In fact, he had used similar methods to write about other people before. It was just that he did not want to write about Angor like this, simply because … Angor was his benefactor. After all, he relied on Angor's information to get Pride the position of chief editor.
If he did this now, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.
Besides, Angor was now a member of the R&D department. If he wrote about Angor like this, he would offend the department as well.
But if he didn't use this method, what else could he do to bring Truth's Sky back to life?
Pride's face was gloomy as he walked forward. He returned to his residence with a sad look on his face. It was a small cubicle between two buildings.
The room was small, but if he lost his chief editor, he might not even be able to afford it.
Pride sighed and opened the door tiredly. He wanted to go back and take a shower before thinking of other ways to deal with the situation.
As he was about to enter his room, he saw the mailbox in front of his door.
A corner of a white envelope was peeking out from the dark green leather mailbox.
"Who would leave a letter for themselves?" Pride walked to the mailbox, puzzled. He used the key to open the mailbox and took out the letter lying quietly inside.
Pride looked at the cover of the envelope curiously.
It was a simple white envelope without any words. What made Pride feel strange was that the pattern on the wax seal was usually the emblem of an individual or an organization, but this wax seal was actually a paw print.
It looked like the footprint of some kind of bird.
"Who sent this?" Pride returned home with the envelope in his hand.
He went to take a shower first. When he came out of the bathroom, he was still thinking about how to make the next issue of his magazine a hit. But he still couldn't find anything.
He saw the envelope on the table. After thinking for a while, he decided to read the contents of the envelope.
He guessed that it was from his father and brother. Maybe they had something to tell him.
When he took out the oily yellow letter, he suddenly froze.
"This handwriting … looks familiar." Pride didn't read the contents of the letter. Instead, he quickly glanced at the bottom of the letter. When Pride saw the signature, he was stunned.
"Your Grandpa Stone?"
It was actually a letter from him!
Pride's face was full of surprise. Don't be fooled by the name 'Your Grandpa Stone', it was because of 'Your Grandpa Stone's' contributions that Pride was able to become the chief editor of 'The Sky of Truth'.
"Your Grandpa Stone" was the one who sent the news about Angor and Isabelle's return to the southern wizarding region.
At first, Pride hoped that "Your Grandpa Stone" could stay in Truth's Sky and create a column for him so that he could become a professional writer. However, "Your Grandpa Stone" never submitted any more articles, which made Pride feel quite disappointed.
Now, "Your Grandpa Stone" sent him another letter. Was it another new article?
Back then, his submission had made Pride the editor-in-chief. This time, would "your Grandpa Stone" save his life again?
With this in mind, Pride began to read the letter in excitement.
When Pride was halfway through reading, the fat on his body began to tremble … He was excited.
His eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he couldn't help but jump up from the sofa. "Great! Great! Your Grandpa Stone means you're my grandpa! "
He didn't expect that in his most desperate moment, "Your Grandpa Stone" would come to his rescue again!
Pride quickly picked up his robe and rushed out of the door with the envelope in hand. He didn't even wait to put it on.
Once the information in the envelope was published in Truth's Sky, it would definitely sell out!
Pride was sure that as long as he could publish this article exclusively, his position as chief editor would be secured! After all, the information in the envelope was about "Angor", who was currently a hot topic. It would definitely reignite the prairie fire in the already calm public opinion! And Truth's Sky was the one who would ignite the fire!
Pride quickly ran back to the magazine office and used the communicator to call the staff back one by one.
A moment later, everyone stood in the lobby of Truth's Sky with dissatisfaction and confusion.
"Pride, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you yelling in the middle of the night? If you don't explain yourself, I'm not going to let you go! " It was a young staff member who spoke. In terms of social status, he was definitely lower than Pride. However, he was a talent. Even if he spoke disrespectfully, no one would dare to refute him, including Pride.
Pride's current girlfriend, Jolene, was also confused. "Pride, did you call us here because you've decided to use that method?"
Jolene knew that Pride must have an idea. That was why he called everyone here. Jolene did not think that Pride could get any explosive news in such a short time. She assumed that he would use the method she mentioned.
The others all looked at Pride, waiting for his explanation.
Pride took out the envelope and spoke to everyone excitedly, "I just received a big piece of news. Tomorrow … No, today, we'll rush through the night and try to have the new magazine published by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"In such a hurry? What kind of news is it? "Jolene frowned and asked.
"Yeah, you can't keep your position as chief editor. Don't drag us down with you!" Someone mocked.
Pride didn't care about their sarcasm. That was the reality. Talented people had a greater right to speak than a mere mortal like him. The fact that these talented people were willing to come to the magazine in the middle of the night was already giving him a lot of face.
Pride put the envelope in the middle of everyone. "Read for yourselves. With this news, Truth's Sky will definitely make a beautiful comeback this time!"
Everyone looked at the letter in confusion. The more they read, the more shocked they became.
The young man who had mocked Pride said in an incredulous tone, "Is what's written here true? Mister Padt really became a wizard … and not far from becoming a truth-finder? "
Pride nodded. "The author is' Your Grandpa Stone '. You should know him well. It can't be fake."
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
Pride was a mortal, so he did not know how terrifying news about Angor becoming a wizard was.
However, as talents, they knew the value of such news. Once the news spread, the entire Floating Mech City … no, half of the southern wizarding region would be shocked!
Jolene looked at the shocked faces of the people in the magazine, then at Pride. She grinned. It seemed that Pride could keep his position as chief editor.
Jolene was also a mortal, so she did not react much. She even had the time to think about the evil content of the letter.
"By the way, don't you think the last sentence of 'Your Grandpa Stone' is a bit strange?"
Everyone followed the voice and saw the last paragraph of the letter.
"Please write more words of praise for Angor. That's the main point, and the only thing I asked for when I submitted the letter to you! Oh, and remember to mark my name. It's best if Angor can see it, or I'm doomed! "
Everyone looked at each other. What did "Your Grandpa Stone" mean?
Someone spoke up, "Maybe 'Your Grandpa Stone' offended Angor in the past and wants to use this method to beg for forgiveness?"
