Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Scary Phoenix? It’s him!

So, Scary Phoenix is a real player—not just a myth that has been spread among us!

He is the first player of ‘Swordsman Game’ with his account being the first one to be upgraded to god-tier player, surpassing everyone in this game!

He is the genuine Lord!

Sophia clicked on his ‘additional information’ column with trembling hands and discovered that for the last 10 years since the creation of his account, he had never lost in any battle. On top of that, all his skills and equipment were invincible!

At that moment, her mind turned blank. Oh God, I hope he doesn’t see the comment I made earlier!

However, she didn’t have to worry as her comment had been replaced by others that came flooding in—

the entire comment panel was shocked to see it.

‘Oh God, I’ve seen the actual God!’

‘Lord, do you need to have a son?’

‘Let’s take a picture!’

With someone powerful behind him, Beast was delighted and arrogant as he stood behind Scary Phoenix and whined. ‘Daddy, Sirius233 has bullied me! Take him down!’

Sophia was dumbfounded upon seeing this. Is Beast really the son of Scary Phoenix, the most skilled player in this game?

The comments section suddenly froze as everyone seemed to wait for Scary Phoenix’s response, but only saw his one-word answer. ‘Okay.’

Even though it was only a word, it had carried a lot of weight that shocked the entire server.

Beast is actually the Son of Scary Phoenix!

In that case, Sirius233 will be…

Everyone looked at Sirius233 in horror. He’s doomed. He killed Scary Phoenix’s son and his entire clan.

Apart from that, he even had the guts to claim that he was Scary Phoenix’s husband! I think he’s in trouble. From now onward, I’m afraid Sirius233 will disappear.

Sophia was so scared that her fingers started to tremble. Oh, God, I’m in trouble again!

However, the difference was that no one would stand up for her anymore. No matter how influential Michael was, there were places that he did not have control over—like the virtual world in online games.

She was so frightened that she did not dare to speak. At that same moment, she received continuous notifications that everyone in her clan was leaving. Her wives, children, and disciples also sent notifications to dissolve their relationship in the game.

Now that Sirius233 had offended Scary Phoenix, the most powerful character in the game, she would be the enemy of the entire game. Hence, in an instant, her massive group of supporters were all gone—they either left the clan and dissolved their relationship with her or found excuses to go offline.

Her title of being ‘The Most Handsome and Wealthiest’ in the game had immediately disintegrated.

Sophia thought, This is the reality of the world! How materialistic! The virtual world is even more materialistic than the actual world!

Even though she was so furious that she gritted her teeth in anger, she could not do anything about it.

She thought about going offline and running away, but when she turned, she saw two people behind her —her loyal new son, NateHiro, and a wife whom she had just acquired, Call Me Taylor.

Anyone associated with her in the game had either left or went offline. Only those two people were online and stayed with her.

Sophia looked at Nate, who was also gazing at her in the silence with a look of support.

The incident had started with Beast, who had first attacked Nate. It was because of it that Sirius decided to join the fight as Nate’s parent in the game. Now that Beast’s dad had made his appearance, if Sirius decided to leave at that juncture, how could Nate continue to play the game?

Call Me Taylor ran to Sirius and tearfully hugged him. ‘Dear, let’s concede defeat and leave. I’m afraid that you are not on par with him. Look at the guy—he looks so terrifying and his equipment is so powerful!’

Sophia was beyond touched when she heard that—only both of them stood by her at that moment. It was only during hard times that she could tell who was loyal to her.

Sirius233 consoled: ‘Taylor, don’t worry about me. I already have everything that I want. Thank you for staying by my side. Even if I lose to Scary Phoenix today, I don’t regret anything because I still have you.’

Call Me Taylor replied, ‘Hubby… *sobs*’

Sirius bade farewell to Call Me Taylor and NateHiro before approaching Scary Phoenix and Beast without even turning back. His departing figure that took large strides resembled a warrior who was about to embark on a suicidal mission. Looking at Sirius’s figure, Nate felt that Sophia looked incredibly manly—if he was the one who faced such a situation, he would have already switched off his laptop and ran off.

Sirius233 replied: ‘Scary Phoenix, I’m the one who defeated your son. If you wish to attack now, please do as you see fit. If you’re my opponent, I’ll be satisfied even if I lose. However, I have no regrets in attacking your son!”

Beast chimed in: ‘Oh, this guy is pretty arrogant, isn’t he? Daddy, punch him!’

NateHiro said: ‘All the best, daddy!’

Call Me Taylor wrote: ‘Hubby, you are amazing!’

A lot of people in the crowd replied: ‘Oh, my, Sirius is pretty tough! He dares to speak to Scary Phoenix in this way. He is a true man!’

After a series of comments, everything came to a crashing halt as the crowd looked at Scary Phoenix, who was at the center of attention. They were curious as to how he would resolve this incident.

If he had really attacked Sirius, his prestigious status would fall a few levels because their equipment and attributes were not at the same level as each other. He was a Lord, who ignored the game’s established rules and was not subjected to any restrictions in the system.

In front of him, no matter how strong Sirius was, he was merely a normal person. It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to challenge a Lord in the game.

Shocking Phoenix slowly expressed his thoughts in front of everyone. ‘You guys have to settle your grudges among yourselves. I’m here just to watch the fight.’

“What?” In the hotel room, Harry glared at Michael incredulously with wide eyes. “I even called you ‘daddy’ yet you’re telling me that you are here just to watch the fight?”

Michael attentively looked at the computer screen with his main account being left aside. Instead, he was using his side account to run around in the game. “You’re asking me to fight with a newbie? If you don’t want your reputation, that’s fine, but I still want mine!”

What he additionally mentioned made Harry dumbfounded. “With me around, he does not dare to play any tricks. Both of you can have a fair fight.”

Harry almost threw his laptop away. “You—”

In the game, after Scary Phoenix said his piece, this immediately made everyone excited. Being a Lord is different after all! He is completely on a different level than ordinary people! This is the most correct way to settle this—letting them have a fair fight!

Outside the virtual world, Sophia was also impressed by the Lord’s realm. With a sudden reverence for him rising in her heart, she typed. ‘Thank you, Lord.’

Scary Phoenix slowly retreated without moving. He merely walked around sometimes or typed ‘1’ in the comments section to inform others that he was still paying attention to the battle.

Beast was shocked as he did not expect that his father would retreat easily. On the other hand, Sirius233 had already charged toward him with a huge knife in her hand.

What can I do? I can only continue fighting!

However, Harry knew that he was no match for Sirius because the latter was too skilled. I’m afraid no one on this server can match his skills.

As Sirius launched his attack with a big knife, Harry disconnected from the Internet and cowardly switched off his laptop.

Hence, in the game, the No. 1 Beast of the Server suddenly went offline and disappeared.

‘Haha, Scary Phoenix, your son ran off when the fight was about to begin. You are going to be the laughing stock of the entire server! Haha! Haha!’

In the end, Harry made that decision—one that would barely defeat his opponent and harm his own reputation—and made Michael, who decided not to help him, disgusted. Harry then returned to his room with his laptop to continue sleeping.

Sure enough, everyone booed and criticized him in the game.

‘So, this is Scary Phoenix’s son? Haha, it’s too hilarious! What good did Scary Phoenix see in him? Why did he adopt this person as his son?’

‘Beast’s skills in running away at the most crucial moment is unrivaled by anyone!’

‘I cannot believe that he dares to escape from such a huge event. Hats off to him!’

‘God, Scary Phoenix must be furious. It’s been so long since he last came online yet he has been fooled by his idotic son. This is terrifying! I think I better make a move now. If the Lord suddenly loses his temper, none of us here can escape!’

However, Scary Phoenix stayed still without even walking. Perhaps he was angered by his stupid son’s actions. After all, he was a respected and renowned Lord in the game, but his son fled an important fight!

My reputation is gone now!
