Chapter 818: Breaking Up

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had made a call to Qian’er.

“Dark Wing isn’t by your side, right?” The icy tone of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth reverberated from the phone.

“What do you want?” Qian’er’s voice was raised. Now that she knew the video was fake, she no longer had any fears in her heart. She could no longer be threatened by King Fifth.

“Come to my house tonight, or else, I’ll release the video to the public!”

Qian’er flinched for a moment before angrily spouting, “Dream on!”

Qian’er knew what Tyrant Sword King the Fifth meant by his words. It was for this reason that she loathed him even more.

Although the video was fake, King Fifth’s intentions were very real. Qian’er could at least tell that much.

Had Li Yi not held her back, even Qian’er herself did not know what she would have done in her panic.

As cold sweat continued to drip down Qian’er’s forehead, Li Yi gently embraced Qian’er from behind, grabbed the phone, and cut it off.

“Relax, I assure you, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s tyranny is about to end.”

As the saying goes, you remove the roots as you clear the weeds1, if Li Yi were to leave Tyrant Sword King the Fifth untouched, who knows what kind of trouble he would stir up.

Using Qian’er’s phone, Li Yi made a phone call.

A few hours later, Wang Leitian was in cuffs. He was prosecuted for committing commercial fraud. At the same time, his son, Wang Sheng, and a few other high-ranking executives had been taken away to undergo interrogation as well.

Wang Leitian had committed many crimes.

Even before Shangri-La had been launched, he was already involved in various investment frauds, and his son, Wang Sheng (Tyrant Sword King the Fifth) had also participated in some of them.

In just five days, all of Wang Lei Tian’s crimes have been confirmed. Upon the reveal, many citizens were outraged.

Before Wang Leitian had established Wang Enterprise, he had committed many investment frauds that brought sorrow to several innocent investors. Some of these investors had also included his long-time partners. Due to the severity of his crimes, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The other executives who were involved in the current scandal had also been sentenced to varying periods of imprisonment. The heaviest of which was ten years, whereas the ones who got off lightly were sentenced to two to three years. Unexpectedly, however, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had got off rather lightly from the financial scandal.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was only fined a meager amount of money, and nothing else. This was due to him being only an insider and having little to no participation in most of their activities.

Despite that, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not completely off the hook. While he had come out of the financial fraud relatively unscathed, the same could not be said about the other investigation launched on him.

He had used a video clip to blackmail Lin Qian; which was recorded sleeping with minors, carrying out orgies1, and many other shady activities. Every heinous crime he had ever committed had been exposed, and even the police officer responsible for his case could not help but exclaim, “Is this guy even human?”

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! I didn’t do it!”

During the court session, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth howled furiously. He refused to admit his crimes.

“Contempt of Court! That’s another crime to your name!”

Within the law, there was no such concept as mercy. Once a crime has been proven to be true, could one deny the allegation through sheer will alone?

Absolutely not!

In the end, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was sentenced to fifteen years of prison.

During Tyrant Sword King’s first day of prison, his nether region had been brutally destroyed by the inmates…

Reporting the Wang duo and the collection of the information for the prosecution had been Li Yi’s doing. This was not to say that he was cold-hearted, but rather, the Wang duo had crossed the line.

During the company’s financing period, Wang Leitian had once ordered someone to brutally beat down one of the debt collectors. Besides that, Li Yi had also found out that Wang Leitian had ordered for Su Xiaomeng to be eliminated after he noticed that she had secretly bought their company’s shares.

Had Brother Windcloud Nine’s family not been the behemoth it was, Li Yi feared that the naïve Sister Nine would have already been snuffed out.

As for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, well, he was even worse. Just by the way he treated Qian’er, it was already punishable by death. Heck, even death would not have been enough.

Now that Li Yi had settled the Wang duo, Qian’er’s usual smile had returned. The way Li Yi had settled the matter had even caused Qian’er’s father, Lin Wenyu to look at him in a new light.

Had it not been for Li Yi’s warning, Lin Wenyu would have undoubtedly invested his ten billion yuan into the Wang duo’s project.

As for the matter of Qian’er leaving the house, Lin Wenyu had chosen to ignore it. He no longer demanded Qian’er to return, but even so, he still had doubts about Li Yi and Qian’er being together.

“If you want to marry my daughter, you should at least produce some results, right? What do you even have now? Pantheon Continent’s Number One Archer God? Earning 50 million a year from endorsing products? Is that all you have? These things might be impressive in the eyes of mere commoners, but not to me, Lin Wenyu.”

These were words from Lin Wenyu to his daughter, Qian’er, and Qian’er had relayed them to Li Yi.

Li Yi just laughed it off. He asked, “My dear, would you still love me if I was poor?”

“I don’t know,” answered Qian’er.

Actually, this was a lie. After all, did Qian’er not live together with Li Yi for several years back in Li Yi’s past life? Back when he had nothing to his name?

If Miss Lin had truly been a gold digger, she never would have loved Li Yi who was as poor as dirt.

Additionally, due to the Wang duo entering prison, some obvious changes had taken place within and without the game.

The first was Lin Wenyu hasty purchase of Wang Enterprise, followed by his only son’s (Big Boy) succession of the enterprise.

Then, it was the events within the game. Due to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s disappearance, chaos had broken out within Fluttering Snow Continent.

Brother Alliance had disbanded, and the players within it had been absorbed into other guilds. Now that the Continent’s Number One Sword God had vanished, Li Yi’s reputation had improved even further.

Another major event that had transpired was — Fluttering Snow Alliance’s internal dispute!

Due to the Tyrant Sword King the Fifth incident, Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf could no longer see eye to eye with Bai Xiaoya. They had led her to a trap and killed her over and over again. Had Bai Xiaoya not acted quickly and logged out promptly, she would have already been sullied by Not Gray Wolf.

Whether Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was a fake gentleman or an actual scoundrel mattered little, as his reputation within Fluttering Snow Alliance was unprecedented. Bai Xiaoya’s refusal to help in Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s time of need had left many angered, and now that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was gone for good, many of the members’ hatred had shifted onto Bai Xiaoya.

Fluttering Snow Alliance had broken up, and Drifting Snow, along with Not Gray Wolf had persuaded many others who shared the same sentiments on Bai Xiaoya to leave the guild. Then, they recruited Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s old guild members and formed a new guild, New Brotherhood.

Originally, these events would not have affected Li Yi much. After all, he had no interest in the Ancient King Series Dungeons, nor did he have any interests in the Demon God Equipment Set. His daily activities now only consisted of increasing his Holy Value or completing the Traitors’ Alliance’s quests to level up. He rarely killed monsters nowadays.

Alas, things often have two dimensions to them. Many things that had seemed unrelated would more often than not, link together.

One day, after Li Yi had completed his daily quests from the Traitors’ Alliance, increased the Affinity of the Dwarf Wizard Pamela to Worship, and was rewarded a mercenary, Drifting Snow suddenly sent him a message.

“New Brotherhood that consists of over a million Elites would like to join Iron Alliance. Are you willing to accept us?”

After being stunned for over three seconds by the message, Li Yi replied, “The Iron Alliance isn’t recruiting at the moment.”

Li Yi had already experienced Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf’s personalities first-hand. As such, he knew that it was best to avoid them as much as possible. While Li Yi was willing to accept Huashan into the Iron Alliance, he would never accept Drifting Snow’s guild.

“Hehe, Guild Master Dark Wing. Do you know why we chose you? The men I’m leading now could choose to join whichever alliance they so wished, but we still chose you because you’re the only one who’s able to handle Bai Xiaoya.”

Bai Xiaoya was no saint. After being ambushed by Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf and almost being r*ped, would she not exact revenge?

During this period, Fluttering Snow Continent was constantly embroiled in a civil war. New Brotherhood was constantly at odds with Fluttering Snow Alliance, and neither side was willing to let up.

Ever since they had taken down the Fourth and Fifth Demon Gods, Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Number One Player, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had kept a low profile. Even though she was the king, she had not once shown her face during Fluttering Snow Continent’s civil war. At present, Fluttering Snow was wholly under Bai Xiaoya’s control, and with her vengeful attitude, how could she go easy on Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf?

During this tumultuous time, New Brotherhood was brutally battered by Fluttering Snow Alliance, and they were constantly losing members. Should the situation persist, the guild was as good as over.

It was only after thorough consideration did Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf finally decide to seek Li Yi’s help.

In their opinion, Li Yi’s grudge against Bai Xiaoya had made them allies who shared the same enemy. As such, they thought that Li Yi would accept them in if they submitted themselves to him.

More importantly, the bunch of retards in the Huashan Sect had also made it into Iron Alliance, and Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf felt that they were worth more than Huashan.

“I have a hundred Elites under my control. With this force in Iron Alliance’s hands, Iron Alliance can definitely wipe out Fluttering Snow Alliance for good. Guild Master Dark Wing, all you have to do is accept.”

“The Iron Alliance refuses.”

Li Yi’s answer was full of resolve.
