Shortly after the league ended, Mascherano threatened his teammates, who wanted to rest, and accessed Arena.
‘Today, we will break through.’
He didn’t know how Alley Leader did it, but in order for Red Bull America to move to the next area, they needed to kill the monsters called the purple ogres.
“Today, we will kill them using any means,” Mascherano declared in a solemn voice. However, he only received cold gazes and criticism in return.
“You previously guaranteed our rest time. This is a garbage dealer.”
“It is your fault that we can’t kill them, Mascherano.”
“You really don’t have a video of this monster among the ones Alley Leader sent you?”
The other professional gamers of Red Bull America were furious with Mascherano who limited their rest.
“Why are you doing this? We watched all the videos together. In any case, we have to kill them before we can move onto the next area. It has already been three days. Aren’t we gamers for Red Bull? Didn’t the New York idiots kill them? Shouldn’t we keep up?” As always, Mascherano deflected the accusations of his team members with a soft attitude, then he cleverly changed the topic.
“They’ve already moved onto the next area?”
“We can’t lose to the idiots of New York.”
Red Bull America competed against the New York Warriors. The reason for that was simple. They were part of the same American League, and the two teams were first and second respectively in the league.
The New York Warriors were number one of course.

“Everyone, I’m going to follow them now. Of course, I’m not going to stab them in the back. I just want to let you know how scary this place is.”
Hyeonu was watching the dozens of Red Bull professional gamers, including Mascherano, as they walked.
-Yes, I don’t believe it.
-He is still dreaming of fishing. We won’t get caught anymore.
-Give it up and reveal the true level here.
“Everyone, if you don’t believe me, then believe them—Red Bull America. Yes? Don’t you know? They are Red Bull, one of the leading teams of the United States.”
The perspective of the stream had changed. The display of Hyeonu’s surroundings was synchronized with his vision, and the viewers could see what Hyeonu saw.
-Is it the real Red Bull?
-Isn’t that Mascherano?
-Guys, are we being cheated once again?
-He even invited Red Bull? Are they all trying to deceive us?
The viewers who saw Red Bull America decided they were being deceived once more. They wondered if Alley Leader had invited Red Bull America, one of the best teams in the world.
‘I’m going to have to talk to Mascherano.’
It was the minimum courtesy. Mascherano was someone Hyeonu knew, but politeness should still be maintained.
-From Mascherano: Huh? Me?
Mascherano instinctively turned his head at the whisper he abruptly received.
-To Mascherano: Stop. Don’t look for me!! I am streaming. Please pretend you don’t know. I have my reasons for this.
When he heard Alley Leader’s urgent whisper, Mascherano managed to prevent himself from turning back, stopping his head to look at the colleague next to him instead.
“What are you looking at? If you have time to watch me, why not try doing a simulation against those monsters? If we are destroyed like last time, we will be sleeping in a coffin today, not a bed.”
It was Alley Leader’s secret yet Mascherano was forced to hear such spiteful words.
“Sigh...” Hyeonu sighed with relief as he saw it from a distance.
His stream would’ve become a mess if Mascherano made contact with him.
-From Mascherano: I understand. Now I’m on my way to hunt the purple ogre. Please help me if it becomes dangerous.
‘Help him?’ Hyeonu shook his head at Mascherano, who asked something so natural. Hyeonu was currently streaming, so it was undoubtedly impossible for him to just pass by if Mascherano was in a crisis. After all, more than 10 million viewers were watching.
-To Mascherano: Absolutely. I’ll show up at a dangerous moment.
Mascherano smiled as he received Hyeonu’s answer. “We will unconditionally kill it today. No, it isn’t unconditional. It is certain.”
After Mascherano’s confirmation, his fellow players looked at Mascherano like he was crazy.
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“What is this confidence? Did you get a sudden realization?”
“He seems to have received a whisper. Who is helping? Is it Alley Leader?”
Mascherano nodded with a face full of confidence. The other players cocked their heads at the same time.
“Did you learn that Alley Leader is coming?”
“Alley Leader is behind us.”
“What?”
Mascherano’s players tried to turn their heads, so Mascherano quickly opened his arms and wrapped them around the neck of the two players standing on both sides of him. The gazes that were aimed at the surroundings naturally turned back to Mascherano.
“Alley Leader is streaming. He discovered us by coincidence and is now following sneakily. He must have his reasons for doing so. Just think of it as having an invincible bodyguard. Don’t worry about it too much.”
Everyone nodded. An invincible bodyguard—there were no other appropriate words to describe Alley Leader in the current situation. They had nothing to be afraid of with him behind them.
‘This is an opportunity.’
