The meal was very quiet until Water Fairy finished eating and stopped.
"I'm not a person who easily lowers his head, but …" Soul Eater said with difficulty, "I was wrong in this matter. I have to admit that I've betrayed your trust in me. I hope you can forgive me, considering that I've been with you for so long."
Lowering one's head was a very embarrassing thing to do. Lowering his head in front of the enemy made Soul Eater's life worse than death.
This was the worst meal he had ever eaten. He tasted nothing from beginning to end.
"You want me to forgive you." Water Fairy asked softly, "If your plan succeeds, will you still come to me to ask for forgiveness?"
"Uh …" Soul Eater was speechless.
"Actually, it's useless to say anything now. You've done something you shouldn't have done …" Water Fairy said decisively, "When you made the decision, you've already chosen to accept the consequences of failure."
"This shouldn't be done, that shouldn't be done. So what should I do?" Soul Eater asked in a low voice, "Am I supposed to just watch the two of you flaunt your love, and then continue to work like a horse for you, not even daring to fart? I'm a man. I have a temper. "
"When did we flaunt our love?" Lu Li was dumbfounded when he was suddenly shot.
"…" Water Fairy and Soul Eater were both speechless.
"Alright, you guys continue. Just pretend that I don't exist." As a winner, Lu Li decided to be a little more magnanimous — it would have been more convincing if he didn't look so smug.
"I hope you can give us a way out," Soul Eater said. He knew that he couldn't reason with Lu Li today. With Lu Li around, he had no choice but to go straight to the point. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get to the point even if he talked until it was dark.
"Pfft!" Lu Li almost spat out the tea he had drunk.
Damn, what's wrong with this b * tch? Why doesn't she just die? Soul Eater wanted to smash this guy to death with a stool.
"What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, then say it. It's not like I'm not allowing you to speak," Water Fairy angrily said as she glared at Lu Li. Why did her boyfriend have to laugh at such a serious occasion? She had asked him to accompany her for safety reasons, as well as to add some momentum.
"I'm sorry." Lu Li leaned a little closer and whispered, "I thought he was here to issue a challenge. I didn't expect him to come here to beg for mercy. This gap is too big."
'Endure, I must endure,' Soul Eater said to himself. He could only pretend that he did not hear what Lu Li said, even though Lu Li's whisper could probably be heard by the guests at the neighboring tables.
"It's not impossible for me to give you a way out." Water Fairy ignored Lu Li and said sternly, "If you leave the gaming circle, I won't hold you responsible for anything."
"F * ck, you call this giving me a way out?" Soul Eater was furious.
"Don't forget, your bank account is still frozen, and it might continue to be frozen in the future." Water Fairy's legal team had gathered a bunch of so-called evidence to accuse Soul Eater of a number of crimes, so the commercial crime investigation department directly froze Soul Eater's bank account.
"I've worked hard all these years, even if I didn't make any contributions. Tell me, how did Peerless City get to where it is today …" Soul Eater was discouraged.
"Yes, you've contributed greatly to Peerless City, but I haven't mistreated you either. As for whether Peerless City would be where it is today without you, such hypothetical questions are completely meaningless. Originally, I didn't have to kill you all," Water Fairy paused for a moment before continuing, "But your methods were simply too despicable."
"I admit that what I did to the elite team was not kind, but I just wanted to have a good foundation," Soul Eater said weakly.
"You're too greedy. This isn't about the foundation at all. You're breaking the foundation of Peerless City," Water Fairy said. "Let's not talk about this for now. Even if you really took away more than a thousand elite team players, I'm not forcing you to leave the gaming circle. You shouldn't have deliberately lost the stronghold to Wings of Dawn …"
"Wait, what do you mean I deliberately lost the stronghold to Wings of Dawn!" Soul Eater immediately panicked.
The elite team could still argue, but if the crime of deliberately losing the stronghold to Wings of Dawn was confirmed, not only would Soul Eater's reputation be tarnished, but he would also have to face commercial fraud charges. When that happened, his bank account would not just be temporarily frozen.
"Elevenless said everything," Lu Li muttered at the side.
"F * ck his sister!" Soul Eater was furious. He thought that he had done it flawlessly. Peerless City did not hold back at all in defending the stronghold, including Soul Eater himself. The entire Peerless City, including Soul Eater himself, did their best. The only thing Soul Eater did was inform Wings of Dawn of Peerless City's various arrangements in advance.
Wings of Dawn and Peerless City were equal in strength, and they also knew their opponent's arrangements in advance, so they were able to take down the Tanaris Stronghold.
Therefore, when he first heard this news from Water Fairy, Soul Eater, who was flustered, did not doubt the authenticity of Lu Li's information. Moreover, Lu Li and Elevenless had interacted in public many times, and they had a very good relationship …
"Now, what else do you want to say?" Water Fairy was only suspicious at first, but now she finally confirmed that there was something fishy about the loss of the stronghold. She said coldly, "You know the value of the stronghold, and you know what kind of losses your despicable actions have caused the club. Now, do you still think that I'm not giving you a way out?"
"I've worked hard in the gaming circle for so long, and now you're asking me to leave …" Soul Eater could not continue.
He went for wool and came home shorn. He originally wanted to take advantage of Water Fairy's weakness of being easily softhearted to gain some development opportunities. He didn't expect that it would end up like this. Making him disappear from the gaming circle was worse than killing him.
"You can think about it," Water Fairy said as she stood up. "From now on, you're no longer the guild leader of Peerless City."
Soul Eater watched as the girl he liked spoke coldly, and watched as she turned around and left. Finally, accompanied by Lu Li, she disappeared around the corner of the restaurant. He sat there until the waiter came over and asked if he needed anything.
"He won't leave the gaming circle," Lu Li said from the passenger seat.
"I know, but he's not a threat. What I need to do now is to rebuild Peerless City." Water Fairy would always flip when she drove in Survival and Escape, but in reality, she was a very good driver. On the other hand, Lu Li did not even have a driver's license.
"The losses this time are a little big," Lu Li sighed.
The two of them seemed to have won a big battle, but in fact, they both knew that they had lost this game.
Not only did Soul Eater's plan completely fail, but he also had to face a lawsuit. On the other hand, Water Fairy's losses were even greater. A stronghold had been taken away, and all the investments she had made during this period had been wasted. The people of Peerless City were shaken, and it was likely that they would be stagnant for a long time.
Water Fairy had also lost an important right-hand man.
