Soul Eater rushed back to the Peerless City HQ in Qiantang City and found out that the few people he had left behind to manage the situation were all in trouble.
Some of them were still in the police station.
It wasn't easy to get everyone together. Only then did he know what had happened. They had started planning a few months ago and started working two months ago. They had worked hard for dozens of days, but it only took Water Fairy two days to completely solve the problem.
"It's all over," Soul Eater said as he looked at the expectant eyes of his trusted aides. He could only fall back into his chair.
"Boss, think of another way," Haze said with a pale face. He couldn't believe that the glory and splendor that he was about to obtain had gone to waste. He was originally the leader of a large club guild and had the hope of stepping onto the stage of a professional player. But now, he was told that not only were the professional players of Peerless City refusing to cooperate, but the 1000 elite players that they had agreed on had also disappeared.
With just the few of them, what could they do with a hundred or two hundred elites?
"What else can I think of? I don't have any authority over Peerless City anymore. Even my bank account has been frozen," Soul Eater said as he trembled. He didn't know what he was going to face, but it definitely wasn't looking good.
"You and Miss Shen have been friends for many years. Maybe she can be magnanimous," an assistant suggested weakly.
"If you were Miss Shen, would you let a traitor go?" Soul Eater retorted angrily. Asking him to beg Water Fairy, asking him to lower his head to a woman? Wouldn't all his efforts be a joke?
"Boss, have you ever thought about what we'll be facing if this situation continues to worsen?" the assistant asked impatiently.
In fact, in his opinion, Soul Eater was a bit ridiculous.
Some people were constantly showing off their affection, provoking Soul Eater into wanting to set up his own guild. He also wanted to do something that didn't belong to Ruling Sword.
But if you really had the guts, you could just leave the guild without anything. After all, you were just an employee. At most, you could be considered a high-level employee. Why did you have to think about taking back your belongings? Wasn't it just for the sake of a good foundation? If you had more than a thousand elite players and a few professional players, as long as you had money, you could immediately establish a sizable club.
Now that the plan had failed, he was terrified.
"She'll always remember old friendships. I've worked hard all these years, even if I didn't make any contributions. She won't go so far as to kill me," Soul Eater said confidently.
"Then let's just break up like this, right? You can just hide in the corner and be a cowardly loser while we find another way to survive," Misty Shadow said unwillingly. "But don't you feel wronged? You've worked so hard for so many years, only to end up as a loser? Do you want to continue watching that cheating couple kiss each other? Do you want to watch as Lu Li devours the Drizzle Court and Peerless City? He wants to devour all of your years of hard work?"
No, I can't just let it go like this.
For the sake of this plan, Soul Eater did not dare to use too much of the club's funds. After all, the Drizzle Court had always been in control of the financial movements of its subordinate branches. Therefore, part of the money spent was Soul Eater's savings over the years, as well as a sum of money raised by the few of them to join the club.
The money had already been spent, but they were going to give up halfway?
"Do you think begging her will work?!" Soul Eater roared angrily.
"But how do you know it won't work if you don't try? Besides, aren't you curious about how she'll treat you? Will she let you off this time for the sake of our past friendship?" Misty Shadow was selfish. For his own benefit, he was willing to use his brain to maximize his own benefits.
Did she even have the slightest bit of feelings for him?
It seemed like every man who had fallen out of love would unwillingly struggle with this question. This question had successfully seized Soul Eater's heart.
His heart began to stir again.
And so, he started his luxurious car and quickly drove towards the city where Water Fairy was.
The Smoky Wave Restaurant was a very famous restaurant located in the suburbs of Jiangnan City. Half of it was built on the shore, while the other half extended out of the lake. From the restaurant, one could see the green mountains in the distance. The mountains overlapped each other, and the lake was clear and spotless. The green trees reflected off the lake, and the scenery of the mountains and lake was extremely picturesque.
Soul Eater had invited Water Fairy to eat fish here. He knew that Water Fairy loved to eat fish the most.
He sent a message to Water Fairy, then chose a place to quietly wait for Water Fairy's arrival. He did not know if Water Fairy would still come to see him, the traitor, but he decided to wait like this.
After such a long time, he had already gotten used to waiting.
Now that he thought about it, sometimes waiting was also a kind of happiness. Unfortunately, he did not even have the right to wait this time.
It was all because of Lu Li!
As he looked around, Soul Eater saw a familiar figure. Water Fairy appeared in his field of vision.
She had tied up her black hair, which was rare for her, revealing her jade-white neck. She was dressed in plain white clothes, and she looked as relaxed as if she were at home.
"Over here." Soul Eater stood up and waved his hand, indicating to Water Fairy his position.
And then he saw the person he did not want to see the most.
Lu Li, dressed in black!
One black and one white, but surprisingly harmonious.
"Long time no see," Lu Li raised his hand to greet Soul Eater, as if Soul Eater's greeting was directed at him.
Soul Eater looked at his white teeth and suddenly felt that all the good things had disappeared like bubbles. Water Fairy had agreed to keep the appointment, but she had brought Lu Li with her. If Soul Eater still lied to him like this, then he was really too stupid.
"I haven't been here for long. We even had a drink together last time." Soul Eater forced a smile.
"The things here are really expensive. I've heard people talk about it before," Lu Li said as he tilted his head and looked at the people eating in this restaurant. They were all dressed in fancy clothes and looked like they were a cut above the rest. People like him seemed to be even more ordinary here.
"The fish here is very good. Next time you can bring Lu Xin here to eat," Water Fairy replied very seriously, as if she did not think that Lu Li's words were low.
"This meal is on me. You guys order whatever you want." Soul Eater could not help but interrupt the interaction between the two.
"No need. Lu Li is from Jiangnan. It's better to let him treat us." Water Fairy refused to let him treat her to a meal. She asked impolitely, "What do you want to say to me in person?"
"I …" Soul Eater opened his mouth with difficulty, not knowing where to start.
If Lu Li did not follow and he faced Water Fairy alone, he might be able to sensationalize her by talking about the difficulties of starting a business and indirectly show his role in the process.
Now, in front of his rival in love, he could not open his mouth.
