While walking down the street with her, he noticed the stunning glances of pedestrians, and hearing Xia You speaking to others beside him, a voice burst forth in his heart: "Take her away, don’t let her talk to those irrelevant people. She is Minghang’s Xia You." Those childish words washed over his reason. Eventually, childish impulsiveness overcame years of upbringing, and he grabbed Xia You, running wild, away from those irrelevant people.
"Minghang, let go first," Xia You said, pounding Minghang with her fists. Listening to her soft, chiming voice, Minghang released her, and continued to giggle foolishly alone.
"Klaao was right, a little change in appearance really does provoke a better reaction from men," Xia You knew, winning Minghang’s unwavering devotion was just the first step, the next targets were the members of the Ren Family for tonight’s main event.
The car left Qianze Street, sunlight hit the car body, reflecting a dazzling light. Simon stood dejectedly at a corner of the street. He saw Xia You getting into Minghang’s car, saw a Xia You he had never seen before. As the car drove away, he felt Xia You was leaving his world at an unprecedented speed.
"Damn it, they all deserve to die," Simon roared, the darkest period of his life. Xia You found a lover, while he, because of the Cai Hai affair, was in and out of the police station. He’s released now, but no power dared to harbor a person once targeted by both the military and the police. He refused to stay in the Xia Family, watching Xia You fall into the arms of another man, but he couldn’t always struggle between drowning and surviving like a sewer rat.
"Who can help me, who can help me," Simon embraced a nearby utility pole.
"I can help you, but before that, you have to swear, to dedicate both body and soul to me, to our great organization," a man, completely out of place on the dilapidated and poor Qianze Street, stood before Simon.
"Who are you?" Simon, also a good fighter, noticed the man appeared almost silently, a sign of superior ability.
"You don’t need to know who I am, you just need to remember that from now on you are a person of G8. As long you remain loyal to G8, you can have everything, including that girl who just left with the young man from the Ren Family, and endless wealth and status," Simon was skeptical, but the man before him seemed to possess a magical charm.
When he spoke of wealth and status, he did so with disdain, but his demeanor compelled Simon to follow him.
"So, what should I do?" Simon’s thoughts and words seemed controlled by the man. He felt a maelstrom ahead likely to sweep him in, yet amid the chaos, Xia You was smiling, waving at him.
"Have you heard of ’Military Road’?" Seeing Simon hesitate and then shake his head, the man wasn’t disappointed.
Next came a directive, "It doesn’t matter, walk out of this alley, at the street corner, there is a Maybach sedan with the plate number Ba C78789, the keys hanging on the car door. The car’s navigational radar has been set to your new villa location, just follow the route. The car is yours to use, it also contains a military computer and a military ID.
Using the military ID, log into the game called ’Military Road’. All you need to do then is train yourself to become a killing maniac in ’Military Road’, leveling up indefinitely. I will contact you at an appropriate time."
Simon was clearly dissatisfied with the man’s instructions; the man promised endless wealth and power, and... Xia You, yet all he had to do was play a game.
"I forgot to mention, ’Military Road’ is a very realistic game, and your ’sister’ Xia You is also playing ’Military Road,’ her in-game name is ’0’," after hearing this, Simon didn’t say more and immediately walked out of the alley.
The unfamiliar man watched Simon walk away, murmuring to himself, "Ni Si, I’m starting my revenge. This might involve some innocent people, I hope you won’t hate me."
After leaving the alley, Simon, following the man’s directions, indeed found a car. He was shocked when he saw the Maybach.
Seeing such a luxury car given to him so casually by the man left Simon astounded.
His previous anxiety and hesitation vanished. Simon got into the car, feeling the steering wheel and the brand-new car interior.
Besides the car, on the right driver’s seat, there was a light gray military computer marked "Exclusive for Rand."
Simon took a deep breath, turned on the car navigation. The navigation was very sensitive; barely touching it, the red and blue electronic map showed a destination. "?" Wasn’t that near the suburbs of Qinyang City? Could people still live there? Simon didn’t think further; he was a penniless, desperate man. If indeed it was a trap, at most his life would be at stake.
But if he could turn his fate around because of this man, the rewards would be the entire world he long sought for. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
