“It’s like this... I assume you know that I’ve created a game. The business has just started and, of course, we need to attract players with something. Isn’t Zi Chuan very well-known? Hence, I was thinking of borrowing his fame.”

Qiao Lian looked up with a snap of her head when she heard his words.

Borrowing Zi Chuan’s fame?

Before she could say anything, the captain frowned and said, “it’s been eight years since Zi Chuan passed away. What do you mean you want to borrow his fame?”

Monochrome sniggered and continued, “Actually, who else besides the few of us know that Zi Chuan is dead?”

The captain narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you mean?”

“What I mean is that I intend to find a gamer to impersonate Zi Chuan and invite this person to play the game, and also to be a caster. It will attract many people.”

At these words, Monochrome pushed forward the wad of banknotes and said, “Yes... so, actually, I hope that you can keep your mouths sealed.”

Then he clasped his fat palms together in a gesture of thanks and said, “I will depend on your help, Brothers.”

Qiao Lian immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at the 100 000.

There were 20-odd people on the table.

If the 100 000 was split evenly among them, everyone would end up with 4000 or 5000.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

To a celebrity this money was nothing, but for most commoners, it was half a month’s salary or more.

Hence...

As Qiao Lian contemplated this, the captain stood up at once and said, “No way!”

Monochrome immediately looked unhappy and turned towards him asking, “Why not?”

“Zi Chuan is dead. If you got someone to impersonate him, it would be a great disrespect to him!”

Monochrome replied with a twitch of his lips, “Captain, stop objecting to this. How would you know that Zi Chuan wouldn’t feel grateful to me? It has been so many years since he died, but now, through the hype that I’m about to create, he will come alive again.”

His tone was filled with disdain for the dead person.

Now everyone, not just the captain, was stirred up.

The captain clenched his fists tightly at those words. “What are you saying?”

Then, he raised his clenched fist with an intention to punch the disgusting man.

Monochrome hurriedly retreated a step and sniggered, as a few of the others stepped up to hold back the captain. “Captain, don’t get worked up. Let’s not start a fight.”

Monochrome added, “That’s right, let’s talk nicely. Why be violent? We are all educated people, I don’t think any one of us wishes to end up in the police station, isn’t that right?”

Monochrome looked at the crowd and continued, “Besides, I’m only here to inform you of this matter. Furthermore, the 5000 are nothing to you since you’re rich, but maybe it matters to some other people.”

He grinned at all of them. “If you have no objections, then take the money and seal your lips, that’s all.”

One by one, the people around started to show an angry expression at those words.

But they knew, as adults, that if they hit him, they could be sued for intended assault.

None of them said anything. After a short while, someone stepped forward and took the 100 000.

Monochrome laughed at once. “Very good, a wise man will go with the situation.”

However, right after he said this, the person who had taken the wad of banknotes extended his hand and threw the money in the fat man’s face.

“We are poor, but we will not betray our own conscience!”

Dazed after being hit by the wad of banknotes, Monochrome retorted angrily, “Let me tell you, don’t push your luck! Even if you won’t help me with this matter, I’ve got help from elsewhere! Xiao Qiao has agreed!!”
