It wasn't that hard to guess who the young man was anymore. He must be some heir from a prominent family trying to throw his influence around in the game. The handsome young man continued, "To be honest, I thought you were someone with great potential when I first saw you being so much ahead of everyone else. But it seems you haven't realized how much real-world benefits your in-game dominance could bring you." Aiden remained silent. Yeah. Here we go again. "But you still have that opportunity." The handsome youth smiled. "You rule the game while I… Well, I've got resources in the real world too. You can have everything if we work together. That's all I'll say. I don't like many empty promises. Money, status, women. Just say the word. I can give them to you." He stressed, "Right now even." "Not interested." Aiden signed softly. He had thought of meeting someone like this, but the reality of it was still a bit too much for him. He wasn't even this speechless when he was taken away by the dragon. Even with Piper… Forget it. I don't want to think about that woman."I can see you're very resistant." The young man chuckled. "Let me guess. You think I'm so arrogant that it's irritating." Aiden nodded. "You aren't as dumb as you seem to be." "Perhaps." He shrugged nonchalantly. "I tried being humble once, you know. Everyone praised me for my manners, but it was pointless. That kind of humility is meaningless. I'm only speaking the truth. It's just that most mediocre people can't accept reality. "I was destined for greatness when I was born. Being humble brings me nothing." He suddenly looked nostalgic. When did I realize this? Probably when I casually brought up a pretty actress I saw on TV as a teenager, and she showed up with a bright smile to accompany me on the same day. "So, let's put aside our biases and talk." He smiled. "I know many find me annoying, but I'm not that bad. At least everyone around me says so. Those who work for me are doing very well, too. All they have to do is listen to my orders. It's a fair trade, isn't it?" "You're surprisingly self-aware." Aiden was taken aback. He wasn't as brainless as he seemed. Yes, he was arrogant, but he had the resources to act like that. Unfortunately, everything would unravel when the in-game abilities manifested in the real world. Those resources of his would be nothing but castles in the air. "Well then, make your choice. I look forward to working with you." The youth smiled. Aiden pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "I'm happy you chose to invite me. It proves you acknowledge my strength, boy." "Good, you understand." The youth's eyes lit up. He thought Aiden had agreed and completely ignored the way Aiden called him a boy. However, Aiden interrupted him before his smile broadened. "But I don't like your pretentious face. So I'm sending you to the respawn point to cool off." The young man's face darkened in an instant. "You're going to attack me?" Aiden snorted. "What? You didn't consider this possibility before coming to me?" "I don't mind. Dying once isn't a big deal." The young man sneered. "But think carefully about the consequences. There are some people you never want to cross."Swiftwind was just like you at first. Look at him now. He still ended up obeying me. My methods are far beyond what you—" A rapidly growing ball of fire reflected in his pupils before he finished his threat. Boom! 'You've lost 3346 Health.' A fireball was what it took to wipe his health out. He didn't even have time to react before his body shattered into fragments of light and disappeared. Only his equipment and marks clattered onto the ground. Aiden curled his lip. "Idiot." "Huh?" "Wait…" "He really killed him? One fireball, and he's gone!" "Nighthale's insane!" The crowd was dumbfounded. No one expected Nighthale to act so decisively. He didn't care for the youth's pride at all. "We're in the central hub. Killing is strictly forbidden here. Isn't he afraid of being exiled? Or does he already have a countermeasure?" "He probably does. But the real issue is that the officials just released a new regulation forbidding players from attacking each other in Doomsday. Killing in the game is now equivalent to committing a real-world crime!"
