Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Some people in the stands were still holding banners of support for Team Daemons. Since Team Skycrown was down a player, many assumed that their match would not be worth watching, and started to make their way towards the exit.

Despite the huge number of people, things were unexpectedly running smoothly. It seemed that Tencent was well prepared to accommodate the larger than usual crowd.

Just as people started to move, a young man dressed in casual clothes with his head bowed appeared at the entrance of the stage!

Bao Jun hurried to make an announcement as he watched him walk up, “Oh, it looks like Team Skycrown has a substitute coming on stage after all. This young man looks oddly familiar…”

A commentator needed to maintain the atmosphere of the venue, and this one sentence from him was definitely able to pull back the majority of the people who had been ready to leave.

Sure enough, people were turning their heads to look at the brightly lit stage and watch as the young man walked in, still keeping his head down.

When he reached the halfway mark, the youth lifted his head to look at the four members of Team Skycrown. As though he noticed something, he suddenly halted in his steps and headed backstage again.

“Er, it looks like this player has forgotten something, everyone please stay calm,” said Bao Jun feeling embarrassed on behalf of the player and wanting to help him out a little.

This was the LPL competition, it was broadcasted live to the entire country. Generally, all the players who came on stage were always well prepared. When would you ever see this kind of thing—a player walking up halfway then turning around as though he forgot something?

Unsure of what Team Skycrown was up to, the crowd started to boo them. But not long after, the youth once again emerged from backstage.

When he appeared on the screen, you could see that he was holding a white cloth in his hand. As he walked to join his teammates, he tied it around his head…

He wasn’t in uniform, but he was wearing the same white strip of cloth across his forehead, just like the other members of Team Skycrown!

“Hey, hey! You’re going the wrong way, that’s Team Sky!” said Bao Jun in an oddly amused voice as he watched Yu Luocheng walk towards Team Sky.

The crowd in the stands started laughing slightly, wondering how a player could be so confused as to walk towards the opponent’s section instead.

The staff kept shouting that he was going the wrong way, but Yu Luocheng was not deterred in the slightest. He continued to walk towards Team Sky, pulling the white strip of cloth on his forehead tighter and glaring fiercely at all the members.

The referee quickly warned him, “Don’t provoke your opponents or you’ll be disqualified!”

Yu Luocheng’s antics were causing a commotion in the stands. Why was this player from Team Skycrown standing directly in front of his opponent’s stage? Was he going to cause trouble?

Yu Luocheng spared a glance at the referee, before turning his gaze back to the members of Team Sky. He spoke to them in a tone dripping with contempt, “I hope you guys don’t surrender.”

He also threw a cold look in the direction of the waiting room, knowing that Xu Pingyang was sitting in there watching everything. Standing there filled with determination in front of all the cameras, Yu Luocheng pointed a finger at the white cloth stretched across his forehead!

“Who is he?” asked Mr. Wang, his eyes narrowing in suspicion as he noticed Xu Pingyang’s panicked reaction.

The owner of Sky Club’s face had gone drastically pale. He had in fact already known about Xiao Bei’s death. Someone from the Public Security Bureau had been dispatched to interrogate his uncle.

Xu Pingyang had instructed Lian Guan to not bring up anything about tampering with Xiao Bei’s identification registration, so that it wouldn’t lead back to him.

Only, Xu Pingyang hadn’t expected that Yu Luocheng would not only appear here at the competition, but also publicly warn him like this!

That little sh*t’s suicide had nothing to do with him at all! You can’t put the blame for this on him!

When Xu Pingyang found out about Xiao Bei’s suicide, he called up the local police to ensure that the case would be closed as a suicide, in order to avoid them digging up more information.

At the same time, he also used his connections to delay the news from reaching the organizers…

He didn’t have an identity anyway, and they couldn’t even verify his details, so he wouldn’t be considered as an LPL player!

***

In the arena, Yu Luocheng’s cold eyes were still focused on the bald head of Xu Pingyang.

Xiao Bei’s heart was so pure, he wouldn’t have survived in the filthy, cutthroat world of e-sports.

Suicide?

The police’s conclusion was not wrong, the facts of the case were as such. But who would investigate Xiao Bei’s mental health?

E-sports was Xiao Bei’s life, so when Xu Pingyang used such underhanded methods to rob him of his dream, it was as good as killing him!

This was murder!

And the police didn’t know that the culprit who shattered Xiao Bei’s dreams and caused him to take such drastic measures was now sitting in the VIP waiting room.

Yu Luocheng had to make Xu Pingyang pay for Xiao Bei’s life, he had to thoroughly expose this sh*t’s revolting behaviour to the world!

Money could be used to cover up many things, from making sure the media doesn’t report on the death of an e-sports player like Xiao Bei, to covering up all your shameless behaviour.

So let’s see how you’re going to use money to cover this up, just go ahead and try to cover up the storm that Yu Luocheng was about to bring!

All he said to the five members of Team Sky was that he hoped they would not surrender…

He didn’t bother finishing his sentence. They would soon know that if they didn’t surrender, the raging storm that was building in Yu Luocheng’s heart would soon be unleashed on them!

Defeat Team Sky?

How was that enough?!

A laughable victory would be nowhere near enough to let the whole industry know that a child with so much love for e-sports had paid for his passion with his life.

Everyone had to know exactly what kind of a dirty person had cunningly murdered him!

There was only one way to rock the entire e-sports industry—a kill count dripping with blood!

At the end of the game, accompanying the declaration of Team Skycrown’s victory, would be the announcement that it had cost their enemies a hundred of their lives!

***

Turning around, he walked towards his own stage with determination…

Yu Luocheng’s silhouette then fell out of everyone’s sight.

To the audience present and the countless people around the country who were tuning in to the live broadcast, he was just a casually-dressed youth with a white cloth around his head walking towards his seat.

But there were a few who knew, that this was a player who had once been at the very top of the e-sports industry, the place where no one could even dream of reaching. He had once been the greatest e-sports emperor!

And now…

This fallen emperor was once again stepping into the competition grounds, bringing his wounds and tears with him… and also…

Anger and passion were flowing through his veins!
