The Great Thief - Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471: 1471

They peacefully ate their meal . Everyone waited until Water Fairy finished .

“I am not someone who gives in easily, but …” Soul Eater began speaking with great difficulty, then continued, “I really made a mistake here . I have to admit, I betrayed your trust . I hope you can forgive me – if only because I have followed and supported you for such a long time . ”

For Soul Eater, the act of speaking with a lowered head was a somewhat awkward act . To bow his head before an enemy made him feel as if dying might had been a better option .

This meal was one of the most difficult meals of his life . Everything he ate tasted bland .

“You want me to forgive you . If your plan had succeeded, would you have come here to ask for my forgiveness?” Water Fairy replied softly .

“Yes, of course …” Soul Eater responded with uncertainty . He was lost for words .

“To be honest, nothing you say can change what has already occurred . You have done something you should have never done . The moment you made the choice was the moment you accepted the consequences of failure,” Water Fair responded firmly .

“I shouldn’t do this . I shouldn’t have done that . What should I do then?” Soul Eater responded with a low and monotone voice . “Do you want me to watch you two in love from afar, and then continue being your slave, without the right to speak? I am a man – and I definitely have a temper . ”

The suddenness of the remark from Soul Eater caused Lu Li to have a forced expression .

“When did we ever publicly display our love?”

“…” Both Water Fairy and Soul Eater were speechless .

“Okay then, you two continue . Just imagine that I don’t exist . ”

Being a victor, Lu Li decided to show a greater degree of tolerance . However, his mannerism was not persuasive because he had a desolate expression .

“I hope you can give me a way out,” Soul Easter said .

“Pa!”

Lu Li nearly spat out the tea he had just sipped .

Why wasn’t this idiot dead yet?! Soul Eater thought of using a chair to smash Lu Li to death . ”

What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it . It’s not as if I’m stopping you from asserting yourself . ”

Water Fairy angrily stared at Lu Li . During such a serious conversation, she was confused as to why her boyfriend was smiling . The reason why she had asked him to come along was for safety purposes, and to add an additional sense of loftiness to her remarks .

“Sorry about that,” Lu Li apologized, then shuffled ever so slightly to the side and lowered his voice, saying, “I misinterpreted him as coming to challenge me . I didn’t expect him to come and beg for forgiveness . The difference in expectations is way too dramatic . ”

“Endure, you must endure,” Soul Eater said to himself . He had to pretend as if he did not hear what Lu Li said, even though Lu Li’s ‘whisper’ was so loud that the table nearby could clearly decipher every word .

“The prospect of me giving you a way out is not an impossible one,” Water Fairy said, ignoring Lu Li, then continued seriously, “If you retire from the gaming world, then I will no longer hold you responsible for your actions . ”

“Hey, you call this a way out?” Soul Eater cried out with rage .

“Don’t forget, your finances are currently frozen . Who is to say they will not continue to be frozen?” Water Fairy’s lawyers had gathered an assortment of so-called ‘evidence’ . They had managed to level several criminal violations against Soul Easter’s name . For this reason, the Criminal Trade Unit had directly frozen his assets .

“Over all these years, even though I haven’t managed to achieve much in terms of results, I have put in a lot of effort . How do you think Peerless City managed to reach its current heights?” Soul Eater said in a despairing tone .

“Yes, it is true that Peerless City’s development is partially due to your efforts, but it’s not as if you haven’t been fairly compensated . As for the question of whether Peerless City could reach what it is today without your presence, such a hypothetical question has absolutely no value or purpose . I never intended to kill,” Water Fairy paused for a moment before continuing, “But your method and actions were truly despicable . ”

“I admit that what I did to the Elite Group was unethical, but I only wanted a good foundation,” Soul Easter protested, but to no avail .

“You are way too greedy . This is not a question of foundations . You tried to destroy Peerless City,” Water Fair shot back . “Even if you were to steal 1000 Elite Group players, I would never have considered forcing you out of the gaming sphere . You should have never, ever, deliberately lost a Stronghold to Wings of Dawn . ”

“Hang on, wait a second . What do you mean I deliberately lost to Wings of Dawn?!” Soul Eater responded in a panicked manner .

He could still wrangle over the Elite Group accusation, but if he was successfully accused of deliberately losing to Wings of Dawn, then his reputation would be severely damaged . This would open him to litigation for deceptive conduct from sellers . If that were to occur, his financial accounts might become frozen for an even longer period .

“He even brought up what Elevenless lacked,” Lu Li mumbled in a low tone .

“Damn woman!”

Soul Eater was outraged . He thought that what he did was flawless; Peerless City’s defense of the Stronghold seemed watertight . Soul Eater, along with everyone else in Peerless City, had used all their effort and might . The only thing that Soul Easter had done was that he had given Wings of Dawn the numerous layouts of Peerless City before the actual battle itself .

Wings of Dawn and Peerless City possessed similar degrees of strength . Giving a forewarning to the opponent allowed them to take down the Tanaris Stronghold .

As such, when he heard such information emerge from Water Fairy’s mouth, Soul Eater lost his bearings – he never doubted the authenticity and reliability of Lu Li’s source . This was especially so since Lu Li and Elevenless often interacted with each other in public, and had developed a strong friendship over time…

Water Fairy finally had her suspicions confirmed – there was indeed something fishy about their loss of a stronghold .

“What else do you want to say now? You clearly knew the value of a Stronghold . You knew, in your heart of hearts, the damage your despicable actions would cause to the club . Do you really think I am going to give you a way out now?” she coldly remarked .

“I have spent so much time battling in the gaming world, and now you want me to exit it …” Soul Eater muttered, struggling to continue speaking . He had tried to gain an advantage but had ended up in a worse-off position . He initially wanted to use the assumption that Water Fairy, by virtue of being a girl, was more likely to have the flaw of being soft and forgiving . He never anticipated the outcome to be like this – they wanted him to disappear from the game completely . This was more awful and more difficult to accept than death itself .

“You can take some time to consider it,” Water Fairy said as she stood up, then added, “From now on, you are no longer Peerless City’s President anymore . ”

Soul Eater watched on as the girl he loved coldly turned around and disappeared with Lu Li’s company around the corner of a restaurant . He kept sitting in the same spot, until a waiter came along to ask if he needed anything else .

“He won’t leave the gaming sphere, you know,” Lu Li said . He was sitting in the spare driver’s seat .

“I know, but it isn’t enough to scare him . What I need to do now is to re-establish Peerless City . ”

Water Fairy, within the gaming world of Survival and Escape, was bound to flip the car . But in reality, she was a well-seasoned driver, while Lu Li didn’t even have a driver’s license at all .

“We have lost significantly more than usual this time around,” Lu Li said despondently .

It appeared as if the two had just succeeded in a huge battle, but they both knew that everyone was a loser this time . Soul Eater not only caused the entire plan to unravel, but he was also about to face a series of court cases that would follow him for years . However, Water Fairy’s loss was perhaps greater – a Stronghold had been taken . All the effort they had invested was now lost, and Peerless City’s morale was shaken . She suspected that it would be a while before it could stabilise .

Water Fairy had also lost an important ally .

“I have seen and experienced all forms of catastrophic events . What happened here is nothing, plus… I’m really happy that you’re by my side,” Water Fairy said quietly .
