“I’ll never forgive you and we shall never speak again. You tread your path and I’ll tread mine!” Jiaojiao opened the door and scolded Li Yi while pointing at him.

Li Yi did not give Jiaojiao’s fit of rage much attention and instead bit her finger…

“Ouch ouch ouch…” Jiaojiao’s domineering aura faded as her lips curled up from the pain and tears were on the verge of flowing out from her eyes.

The moment Li Yi loosened his bite, Jiaojiao raised her leg and tried to kick him. However, Li Yi moved to the side and held onto her thigh.

“You… You dare!” Jiaojiao blushed as she recalled the incident from before.

“Let’s hear it out. Why have you decided to not be on speaking terms with me?”

“You lied to me!”

“What do you mean I lied to you?”

Jiaojiao responded angrily. “You told me previously that you couldn’t find Maylia’s Ring of Windstorms but I saw you using it earlier. You and your smooth words and sly smile. You’re definitely not a good person!”

“Uhm…”

“I didn’t think that Lil Snow would lie to me as well. Ahhhh you cheaters, cheaters! I hate people who lie to me the most!”

Jiaojiao yanked her leg back, pushed Li Yi out and slammed the door hard.

“Slam!”

Li Yi was confounded.

“Jiaojiao, the ring is a new one. It’s a game, there are many similar things.”

“Go to hell!”

“You can ask Lil Snow if you don’t believe me…”

“Get lost! Lil Snow and you are on the same boat.”

Fine. She was trying to make a scene out of it…

“It’s your choice to believe it or not!”

Li Yi acted as though he was angry as he went back downstairs.

This was nothing to worry about as Li Yi understood Jiaojiao very well. It would take at most 3 hours before everything settled down.

He was spot on. As Li Yi finished the Dragon’s Feast and had logged off shortly after, Jiaojiao walked into his room with a pouty face. She sat on the sofa rudely and scoffed. “You’ll accompany me to a negotiation the day after tomorrow and I’ll forgive you for what you’ve done.”

“The day after tomorrow?” Li Yi was stunned and immediately shook his head. “Did you forget that the day after tomorrow is Xu Man’s concert?”

“I know but I can’t go because things came up. Ah, this is annoying. You can’t go if I can’t go. You have to accompany me or else we will not be on speaking terms anymore.” Jiaojiao was serious.

“What time is it at?”

“From morning till night.”

“I don’t have time for that.” Li Yi was straightforward. The superstar Xu Man was about to jump off a building and if he did not interfere, then the result would be the same as his past life.

Jiaojiao took a deep breath. “Come again?”

“Unless…” Li Yi glanced at Jiaojiao a few times and said. “You know what I want.”

“I don’t get you. Don’t come looking for me next time and we’re not on speaking terms anymore!” Jiaojiao stormed out of the room.

“Oh please, you’re the one who came looking for me, okay?”

“F*ck off…” Jiaojiao’s response could be heard from outside.

Jiaojiao’s incident was nothing at all and it did not matter if Li Yi accompanied her. However, the same could not be said about Xu Man’s suicide, history would repeat itself and it was something Li Yi did not wish to see.

Some say that superstars are the product of an unspoken rule, but Li Yi felt that Xu Man was different. Regardless if it was the past or present life, he had yet to hear any rumors about her. She was like a fairy maiden descending down to the mortal realm. She could wave her hands and leaving a lasting impression of her before returning back to her realm empty-handed.

Xu Man grew up in a military family. Her father, mother, and brother had committed their lives to the army plus her father and brother were the commander-in-chief and major general respectively… Xu Man was protected and blessed by this background when she decided to take on entertainment. Did she still need to play by the unspoken rule with such a family backing her? Her life would be much more exciting if not for this incident.

The Shattered Frost City entered the repairing phase after the great war. Since the siege was unsuccessful, they did not lose much other than a minimal drop in the democracy rate. However, the democracy rate increased back as Li Yi ordered everyone in the city to fix everything together.

Li Yi was still ranked number one in the Blade Peak’s Arena. His spot was firm as long as he maintained it and there was no need for him to go and collect more points.

Li Yi did not loiter around as he waited for the concert day to arrive. He was grinding every day, not on land but in water. Not only was his grinding rate extremely fast, but the Mermaid Princess’ Affinity towards him had skyrocketed as well.

A man who was at his lowest had sent him a private message the day before the concert arrived.

“Are you selling the Blood Lord Helmet? Offer me a price.” His voice sounded tired and he did not bother hiding his name at all. He was none other than the best main tank from the Star Fire Guild, Unending Unmatched.

“2,000,000 Gold Coins.” Li Yi smiled as he gave his price.

The present was much different from the past as the Gold Coin to Cash ratio was 1 to 1 now. 2,000,000 Gold Coins was no longer considered cheap 1 .

Unending Unmatched hesitated for a long time. “Can you sell it to me for 500,000 Gold Coins? That’s all I have.”

Li Yi laughed. “How much do you think I can sell this for if I were to put it on the Auction House?”

Unending Unmatched was silent for a long time before responding back. “At least 3,000,000 Gold Coins.”

“Then why should I sell it to you for a mere 500,000 Gold Coins? Are you my guild member? Are we friends?”

“None of the above.”

“Hehe.”

“Can you reserve it for me for some time? I’ll collect the money in a month’s time.”

“Although a month is not a long time, have you considered that the price of this item could increase or decrease?”

Unending Unmatched was speechless.

“I can give you the helmet for free so that you can return it back to Yang Xingchen. However, I want you to quit your guild and join Little Drunk Cat.”

“… I’ll consider your offer.”

“Alright. I’ll give you 3 hours to consider the offer. I believe that you’ll try to borrow some money from Yang Xingchen but the latter will force a contract onto you where you’re forbidden to quit the Star Fire Guild for at least five years. Then, you’ll have to pay him money as a penalty if you were to break the contract hahaha…”

“That’s impossible. Yang Xingchen isn’t that kind of a person.” Unending Unmatched was determined.

Li Yi ignored him as he sat in his house listening to Princess Sif’s melodious voice while he crafted more arrows after the intense siege.

It did not take 3 hours. In fact, it did not even take half an hour before Unending Unmatched responded back.

“You’re right. Yang Xingchen wanted me to sign a contract where I have to work for the Star Fire Guild for free for as long as 5 years…” He sounded extremely disappointed.

“You’ve got the skills but you lack the talent in choosing a leader.”

“Is there any contract if I were to join the Little Drunk Cat?”

“You’re free to quit after joining the Little Drunk Cat. In fact, I don’t care if you immediately return back to the Star Fire Guild.”

“Huh?”

Li Yi sent the Blood Lord Helmet to him.

Although Unending Unmatched was a very stubborn person, he was extremely faithful and would return his gratitude to the person he owed. Li Yi had heard of his most classic story where a player had given him a wooden sword that he could not use when he was still a newbie. That player did not put it on his heart but Unending Unmatched did. Later in the game when the player was being chased by other players, Unending Unmatched rushed to his aid without a second thought and not only did this baffle the pursuer, he had also confused the player as well because he no longer remembered that he had helped Unending Unmatched back then.

“Thank you!” Unending Unmatched was so emotional that his voice trembled.

It would be impossible for Li Yi to be at a loss as he had exchanged an extremely powerful MT with an item that he had picked up. How could one compare an item to a person, to begin with? Although the Little Drunk Cat had many main tanks, none of them were really strong. The guild’s overall strength would be pushed to a greater height with Unending Unmatched joining the ranks. The profits that would generate later would be much greater in the future.

However, Li Yi knew very well that it would not be that easy for Unending Unmatched to quit the guild just like that. Yang Xingchen was not a stupid man as he had been playing online games for decades. He knew who was a fool and who was not. Did one really think he would let Unending Unmatched off the hook that easily?

Definitely not!

“Although you’ve returned us the equipment, don’t you dare forget the amount of effort the guild had put into nurturing you. We’ve prioritized all the equipment to you first and even I the guild master had no say in it. And you want to leave just like that? What do you take the guild for? Your toy?” Ying Xingchen sneered at Unending Unmatched.

“I don’t owe the guild anything. Despite the guild nurturing me, I have done my part to the guild as well. In which Instance Dungeon run was I not at the front? In which Instance Dungeon did I not die the least? Has anyone helped me grind back my level after that? In the end, it was just me alone grinding it back, no?”

“I don’t want to hear any of that. You’re free to leave but you’ve to sign a contract saying that you owe Star Fire Guild 10,000,000 Gold Coins and you’ll return us the money via installment.”

“Fine. It’s only 10,000,000 Gold Coins right?” I’ll sign it!”

Unending Unmatched had officially quit Star Fire Guild and joined the Little Drunk Cat.

“Welcome new friend!”

“Here comes a powerful tank! Everybody welcome him. Do you know any chicks? Come on introduce them to us.”

“A very powerful player and I’ve heard of him a long time ago. This guy is able to solo the Molten Furnace’s final boss…”

“Both his skill and equipment are unrivaled. He’s my idol.”

The Little Drunk Cat’s Guild Channel became active as they had long heard of the infamous Unending Unmatched. As no one had expected him to join the Little Drunk Cat, everyone cheered as they welcomed him.

Li Yi wanted to put Unending Unmatched into the Elite Party but the latter refused. “I don’t have any equipment or money at the moment and I won’t request the guild to assist me in any way. I’ll get my own equipment and grind the guild level myself. I want to rely on my own strength to become the guild’s elite instead of being given special privileges.”

No one was able to do anything about his temper so they let him be…

Everyone in the Little Drunk Cat was happy as Unending Unmatched joined into their rank. However, the forum had become rather hostile of him.

<<Unending Unmatch is ungrateful. He ignored the guild’s nurturing and he’s absolute trash!>>

<<Star Fire Guild wasn’t able to make him stay and Unending Unmatched had turned to someone else because of money…>>

<<Hot News! The true reason the best main tank, Unending Unmatched left the Star Fire Guild!>>

The official forums became a battlefield as players were split into two factions, some supporting and the others against him. These two factions were having a keyboard warfare…

On the other hand, the day had arrived for Xu Man to hold her concert. On this very day, the masterminds of the Iron Alliance were all offline as all of them had gone to the concert with tickets in their hands…
