Faced with Plain Face's aggressive attitude, the High Priest girl Love at First Sight looked only at her boyfriend, South Wind Yet to Rise, and said in grief and anger, "Chen Feng!"
"We've been together for seven years!"
"When you were at your lowest, I stayed by your side! I never abandoned you!"
"When your mom got sick, I worked part-time to earn money for her treatment!"
"When you couldn't find a job for six months, I supported you the whole time and kept encouraging you!"
"Even the company you're working at now, I had to ask friends and call in favors just to get you the chance to work there!"
"Didn't we agree that we'd go to Sanya next month for our wedding photos, and get married at the end of the year?"
"Why? Why are you treating me like this?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Chen Feng! Tell me! What did I do wrong?"
More and more people gathered to watch.
Even the crowd thought South Wind Yet to Rise would be embarrassed and ashamed in a situation like this.
But to everyone's surprise, South Wind Yet to Rise confidently pulled Plain Face into his arms and said to Love at First Sight, "Since you've already seen it, I'll just tell you the truth."
"Xia Xin, you've treated me well, but you can't stop me from choosing someone better."
"Chu Yan's father is the deputy manager of a publicly listed company. Her family is a thousand times better off than yours. Besides, Ah Yan and I are in love."
"I met Ah Yan in Divine Oracle, and we've been together for a month already. If it weren't for the fact that you have an A-rank talent in Divine Oracle and still have some potential that could help Ah Yan and me develop in the future, I would've broken up with you a long time ago."
Xia Xin stared at Chen Feng in utter disbelief.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
At that moment, the other woman, Chu Yan, became even more aggressive.
Pointing at Xia Xin, she said to Chen Feng beside her, "Brother Chen Feng, I want you to kill her yourself!"
"That's the only way to prove I'm the only one in your heart!"
Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before drawing his dagger, "Okay."
The next moment, dagger in hand, Chen Feng walked toward Xia Xin.
Overcome with despair and grief, Xia Xin had already broken down in tears.
Just as she gave up resisting and prepared to let the man she loved kill her, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Chen Feng, who had been approaching with his dagger, stopped.
Looking at the High Priest standing before Xia Xin, dressed in a crimson cloak that gave off an air of mystery, with the unmistakable presence of a powerful expert, Chen Feng found himself intimidated by the man's aura.
"Who are you?"
Nether raised his head.
Beneath the crimson cloak, his perfectly sculpted features and icy expression made many nearby players' hearts skip a beat.
"Who is that guy? He's so handsome!"
"Seriously! Way better-looking than South Wind Yet to Rise!"
"If he were my boyfriend, I'd gladly do it seven times a night!"
Nether looked coldly at Chen Feng, "If my wife helps me reach the clouds, I'll repay her with ten thousand taels of gold."
"Even if you've never heard that saying, you still shouldn't hurt someone who treated you with genuine sincerity."
"The hell are you talking about?", Chen Feng snapped impatiently, "Who the fuck are you? What's it got to do with you?"
At that moment, Chu Yan walked over beside Chen Feng and pointed at Nether, "Move aside! Otherwise I'll have Brother Chen Feng kill you too!"
As Chu Yan clapped her hands...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large group of players with Dream as the prefix in their IDs rushed out from all directions among the spectators.
In an instant, they completely surrounded Nether.
The onlookers were startled by the scene.
Person A: "Isn't that the Dream Guild?"
Person B: "You know them?"
Person C: "They're a third-rate guild in Inferno City. Don't underestimate them, they've got over a hundred members."
Person D: "So this Plain Face isn't just the daughter of a deputy manager at a publicly listed company in real life, she's also the guild leader of a third-rate guild in Divine Oracle?"
Person E: "No wonder South Wind Yet to Rise dumped his girlfriend of seven years for Plain Face. Her background is way better. There's no comparison!"
Person F: "Am I the only one worried about that High Priest who stepped in? He looks like he's in real danger."
As the crowd continued discussing, on the battlefield, faced with the encirclement by the Dream Guild, Nether showed not the slightest fear.
Instead, he said to Chu Yan, "I don't want to fight you."
"If you leave now, it's not too late."
With her arms folded across her chest, Chu Yan looked at Nether arrogantly.
"I hate men like you the most. No ability, but always pretending."
"Who are you to lecture my Brother Chen Feng?"
"Get him! Teach them a lesson!"
At Chu Yan's command, the Dream Guild players around them all drew their weapons and charged at Nether.
Nether remained where he stood.
A trace of killing intent appeared in his otherwise calm eyes.
Whoosh!
The moment the Dream Guild players entered his attack range, a golden book materialized in his left hand.
As he cast his spell...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of golden light flew out from the book, landing on the ground around him and transforming into more than a dozen level 61 Skeleton Warriors.
A-rank Talent: Undead Summoning!
Immediately afterward, Nether continued casting.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Three consecutive A-rank talent auras burst from the golden book, granting every Skeleton Warrior on the field the ultimate enhancement to attack, defense, and health.
Then the Skeleton Warriors charged into the crowd with their massive blades.
The hundred Dream Guild players engaged them in battle.
But the gap in strength between the two sides was overwhelming.
Even with their huge advantage in numbers, the Dream Guild players were hacked down by the Skeleton Warriors in moments.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of white beams shot into the sky.
Over two-thirds of the Dream Guild's hundred-plus players present were killed instantly.
Seeing this, Chen Feng and Chu Yan, standing in the rear, were stunned.
"H-How can a High Priest use summoning magic?"
"And why are the skeletons he summoned so strong?"
At first, they were only shocked by the skeletons' strength.
Then, in the next second, the red ID that was displayed above the opponent's head left them even more horrified.
[Talent Prodigy · Nether (Level 61 Third-Turn Judge · Rank 3 Heavenly Rankings)!]
"R-Rank Three on the Heavenly Rankings!"
"He's got a hidden class!"
"Holy shit! I thought he was just some poser! Turns out he's actually a top-tier expert pretending to be ordinary!"
In an instant, even the spectators, who had been worried about Nether just moments ago, were completely stunned.
Only then did Chen Feng and Chu Yan realize they had offended someone they couldn't afford to provoke.
Their faces turned pale, and neither of them dared say another word.
The few dozen remaining Dream Guild players were so frightened that none of them dared make another move.
Nether paid them no further attention.
Instead, he turned around and looked at the person he had come to Gloom City for, Love at First Sight, the target whose talent he had come to seize.
Facing Love at First Sight, Nether raised the golden book in his left hand...
