Chapter 1281: Chapter 1190: The Million Deal (2-in-1)_2
"If you had been this straightforward earlier, wouldn’t that have been easier? Boss Xiaoyao is generous. It’s a deal!"
Su Ran’s coldness in her eyes melted away in an instant, and she grinned, controlling her Undead pet to step back a few paces, looking at Overturning Water with bright eyes and a very gentle voice, "I’ll give you the account, transfer the money, and once it’s in, we can talk about anything!"
Seeing Su Ran’s mercenary smirk, Overturning Water couldn’t help but feel irritated. If only he had known it would be like this, he would have offered less!
Never would he have imagined, a director of the mighty Wei Corporation, that he would be duped by an unknown gamer; this was a humiliation in his career!
But, on second thought, considering the immense benefits he’d reap after winning, this million might not seem like much. His father would surely be happy with his brilliant decision!
It would not be difficult to imagine the surge in the Wei Corporation’s fame due to his own influence, and that this would be an important chip in becoming the heir to the group!
Of all the Earthly Fiend Group, the only one he couldn’t handle was this Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, but if he could remove this obstacle, the championship of the Earthly Fiend Group would be his for the taking!
Billions of players would look at him in a new light, and the thought alone was thrilling!
"Brother Overturning, you’ll be happy with your choice. This one million RMB will be enough for you to do a lot of things!"
Overturning Water memorized Su Ran’s account and transferred the million over with great generosity, not even bothering to swear an oath or showing any hesitation. He believed that, in this live broadcast, the kid wouldn’t dare to play any tricks, or else public opinion alone would drown him!
"Boss Xiaoyao sure is straightforward. Don’t forget about me next time there’s a good deal like this!"
Having pocketed a cool million, Su Ran was in a great mood. After all, it was a surefire deal with no losses, since the opportunity to withdraw was a system giveaway and wouldn’t affect her championship chance. Most importantly, her mother had mentioned before that the more than ten million in the bank might not be enough to get her father back—adding this million should be enough, right?
"No problem, next time I’ll still give you a million for letting me win once more!"
Seeing that the Undead pets that were attacking her had all been recalled and the tense atmosphere had dissipated, Overturning Water was in a very good mood, speaking with great magnanimity, "No matter how many times you resurrect, if we meet again, I continue to offer a million!"
"One million? Is that all my life is worth? Dream on!"
Su Ran snorted with disdain and chose not to engage any further with him, promptly opting to forfeit and leave the arena.
"Acting all high and mighty just because you’ve got some skills!"
Overturning Water snorted coldly. Su Ran’s actions were like playing the saint after sinning, only inviting disdain!
This match was doomed to be tumultuous; in fact, Su Ran was already well aware that her withdrawal would cause a sensation. Those who disliked her would seize this opportunity to stir up trouble, with no small impact. But she didn’t care; one who doesn’t take free money is a fool—do what they will!
Let them talk; she would walk her own path!
As it turned out, Su Ran’s hunch was correct. The comments section on the live streaming platform erupted with a barrage of negative reactions. These detractors left no nasty comment unsaid, and some even took screenshots and started new threads, doing everything in their power to tarnish Su Ran’s reputation.
Just then, a troop of hired commentators joined the fray, almost all of them promoting Overturning Water’s narrative like a prairie fire, overshadowing Su Ran’s popularity.
No doubt, this was the work of Overturning Water paying good money to boost his reputation, laying the groundwork for the championship to follow.
What could she do? Money talks!
For a time, the forum was in an uproar, and not even Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’s true fans were willing to speak up; Su Ran’s choice this time had broken many hearts.
To bend for money and forsake dignity was despicable to everyone; they couldn’t grasp why, at such heights, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained would still care so much about money. Couldn’t she just sell some rare equipment or help with a few quests for cash?
Now, having taken the one million in cash, everyone was eager to see how Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained would wind up!
However.
Just as the forum debate heated up, a dramatic turn occurred.
Overturning Water stood on the arena as the victor, waiting for the next challenger to appear, but about three minutes later, a fluctuation appeared, a white light flashed, and the familiar figure of a player in a black robe and mask appeared before him.
"Eh? Met again so soon? What a coincidence!"
Surprised, Su Ran looked at Overturning Water, shaking her head and lamenting this million cash that seemingly died for a mere few minutes of peace, wondering if the guy would regret his decision.
"It is indeed a coincidence. Brother Overturning, it’s been a long... a short while, and you seem much more spirited. Youth is so full of energy! At my age, I just don’t have that much energy anymore, alas, time spares no one!"
Overturning Water said, unfazed, and from his expression and tone, there was no sign of frustration, showing how deep his strategizing ran.
"Brother Overturning, what about it? My previous offer still stands; let me win just once, and a million will be immediately transferred. I mean my word!"
