It was 7:30 pm, the first match of the Soaring Swords Competition Finale had begun!
The audience immediately noticed the situation and started chattering among themselves! Would a guild master and party leader simply not show up at such an important event? Did he get cold feet? Was he lost in some paradise of his own?
The rules of the competition, only the five players who registered for the competition can enter the competition. If anything led to the shortage of one person or so, they would have to make do!
There came a wave of ‘Boo’ from the audience!
Since the beginning of the quarterfinals, those parties who went up against Imperial Sky all seemed to suffer some misfortune! During the quarterfinal match, the spellcaster from the Radiance was acting silly; during the semifinals, the thief from the Yellow Flame was floating about like an idiot; and now, someone was completely missing!
Everyone could connect the dots at this rate!
Even if Han Ying Xue and the others unleashed 120% of their real strength, they were outnumbered and mismatched from the start. Furthermore, One Sword Stroke was the number one tanker in Zhang Yang’s previous life, and was a powerful player in his own right! With his coordinated control between his {Sacrifice}, {Vanguard’s Aggression}, {Blast Wave} and {Thunder Strike}, and some additional outstanding tactical commands, the ‘girl-team’ had to swallow down the first trace of defeat ever since they debuted!
"I’m so mad now!" Han Ying Xue crossed her arms with a violent, sudden jerk, causing her massive, outstanding pair of jugs to jiggle in shock as they were momentarily crushed, before spilling over her arms, as she surveyed the area with her bewitching eyes.
"Why isn’t the noob tank here yet?!" Wei Yan Er was positively wailing now, her tough facade completely shattered! They now saw clearly, the importance of a Guardian. Although Guardians definitely lacked offensive power, they were an irreplaceable class in the arena. They provided massive support to their allies, while controlling the movements of the enemy!
"This is bad, the second round of the match will begin in 10 minutes time..." Daffodil Daydream almost looked nauseous.
It was not that they were sore losers, but to be defeated under circumstances was laughable!
Without a word, Sun Xin Yu took out her cellphone. The girls could only hear something about "cutting the power" and "I shall take full responsibility". They could not help but to look at each other in the face. What sort of woman possessed such power?
This is Shang Hai City! In an internationally recognized financial metropolis, how much influence would it take to cut the power supply of a large hotel?
Liu Wei laid back against his seat, smirking contentedly.
The rich would always control the world! He would only need to sit back while setting his grunts to work! What good would the skills and combat prowess of Zhang Yang be when he could just make him disappear like that! This was just the beginning, since Zhang Yang had insulted him time and again, he intended to slowly ‘take care’ of him! First, he would buy over the core members of Lone Desert Smoke, and after hollowing out their ‘backbone’, he would leave Zhang Yang as a general without an army!
In an online game, what can one person do? Give a player a full set of Yellow-Gold equipment, and have the player triumph over tens of thousands of players?
After securing the championship of the Soaring Swords competition, Imperial Sky would rise to fame, while under the lead of One Sword Stroke and his leadership, Imperial Sky shall become the strongest guild in the whole of China! When that time comes, their ‘backbone’ too, shall be hollowed out. After ousting One Sword Stroke from the guild, he could finally write his own myth of ‘Liu Wei’!
That’s right, myth! And after that, his guild shall be named after as ‘The Myth’!
"All contestants please log in, the second round of the match is beginning shortly!" the voice of the hostess, Liu Wan Fei began to echo.
Victory was almost at hand! The smile on Liu Wei’s face only grew wider with each passing moment!
Pak! Pak! Pak!
The lights of the showcase hall went out of a sudden, and the crowd rose in uproar and shrill screams. Soon after, people started turning on their cellphone flashlights. They started muttering unhappily.
"What’s with this power failure!"
"A big hotel like this having power outage? Where’s the backup generator?"
"Time for some touchy touchy in the dark!"
"Argh! Pervert!"
"Someone touched my butt!"
"Beat him!"
A brawl instantly broke out!
"Everyone, remain calm, the hotel management is doing all that they can, the power will be restored shortly!" the hotel staff shouted over the din.
Liu Wei was stumped, he had not considered power outage, out of all things! But... power failure was just a power failure, Zhang Yang was still sitting in the jail, this would only be a short delay to his great uprising!
"Sister Sun, you are really something, you know that, did you really do this?" Wei Yan Er looked at Sun Xin Yu in admiration.
Sun Xin Yi only smiled knowingly for an instant.
Even after 10 minutes, there was no sign of power being restored, and the crowd was getting hot and furious, trapped in warm, stale air, and darkness.
Sun Xin Yu’s phone rang and after listening to the other end, she simply said, "Let’s give them back power!"
Pak! Pak! Pak!
The hall was instantly lit up again.
Liu Wan Fei was shaking her round butt to left and right as she catwalked up to the center stage. Those with sharp eyes immediately spotted a trickle of white, milky liquid at the edge of her lips. There was only red wine on her table, there was no milk on it!
At that instant, countless pairs of murderous eyes swiveled around to burn holes in the straight faces of the two officials sitting close to the back of the stage.
"Alright, the power has been restored back to normal, let us now move back on to the match between Lone Desert Smoke First Party VS Imperial Sky, the second round of the match shall carry on immediate---"
"Wait!" the voice of Zhang Yang suddenly echoed through, as he bounded towards the stage, "Hahaha, can you believe it I actually overslept! My bad, my bad!"
Wow!
The audience lost their minds. The very air shook with their cheers and screams, as if the messiah himself has arrived!
"Hehe, guildmaster Zhan Yu’s timing couldn’t have been any better! Your party has already lost one round, things were really looking back for them!" Liu Wan Fei pointed her finger towards the location of Han Ying Xue and the party, and then her tone got more serious, "Guildmaster Zhan Yu, please make ready, the competition is about to start!"
Liu Wei’s eyes almost popped out of his sockets then!
What was going on? Didn’t he already ‘notify’ them to keep Zhang Yang in a 24-hour custody? They couldn’t even handle such an easy task?
"Are you Liu Wei?"
Just as Liu Wei was scratching his head, wondering about the incomprehensive situation, two policemen in uniforms went up to his side, flashing their badges. The two bodyguards of Liu Wei immediately stood up, with the ‘I dare you to make a move’ expression on their faces.
Liu Wei quickly reached his hands out, hinting the two bodyguard not to act rashly! This is Shang Hai, not Ling Hai, and he could not flaunt his prowess without knowing what is in these waters! He spoke calmly, "I am Liu Wei, so what brings you two officers here?"
"We suspect that you are connected to a murder case, please come with us!" One of the policemen took out a pair of handcuffs and dangled it in front of Liu Wei, "Please cooperate!"
The blackout was unfortunate, and the sudden appearance of Zhang Yang was unprecedented. They could have been dismissed as unfortunate coincidences, ridiculous as they seemed. But now, something was really wrong here! He could not help but go numb with shock!
Anyone with a fair bit of connection could easily arrange for Zhang Yang’s release. But to cut the power supply of the entire hotel, and for as long as ten minutes, required serious power! What sort of influence did this guy possess, or rather, who was it who had this man’s back?
