The reports were promptly followed up, the news of the new e-Sports champion, Avengers Club, quickly spread through the streets.
Thomas was not idle either. He had already prepared the article since the beginning. As soon as the results of the competition were announced, favonovel.com arranged all the media under favonovel.com to spread the news, recounting all the suffering that Avengers Club’s members had endured along the way and seemingly unintentionally mentioning all the evil deeds of Supreme Club.
This has completely ignited the hatred of the public for Supreme Club, and it became the target of everyone’s scorn. Supreme Club had become a derogatory term. In this way, Art Trading Corporation was in an even worse situation than before, and they were already in a not-so-good situation back then. But due to the article, they were put under the spotlight and spoken about by the people.
Aina‘s death just happened recently, and their club cheated during a tournament as well. Even if there was a financial loss, it was minor. The crucial thing was that their reputation was destroyed badly.
Originally, they were the rulers of e-Sports. No one could do anything to Art Trading Corporation. But now, after Thomas’s arrival, their strong walls started crumbling, and Thomas has successfully conquered the first city. The loss in e-Sports meant the first step of success for Thomas’s plan.
“Go!”
Hayden stood up, limping and depressed, and walked away from the crowd’s laughter. He was now desperate to find someone with whom favonovel.com could unleash his rage. He needed an outlet for his pent-up anger!
Coincidentally, a text message was sent to Hayden’s cell phone at this time. The content was straightforward. [River has been captured]
“That son of a b*tch!”
River was captured just when Hayden wanted to vent his rage, and the consequence was predictable.
After half an hour, Hayden appeared in front of an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. A few of his men opened the door of the warehouse. Hayden walked in with his crutches. He saw a man dangling from the ceiling, it was River.
River’s hands, legs, and neck were tied by ropes, and his whole body was suspended in the air, and favonovel.com was spread-eagled.
As soon as favonovel.com saw Hayden walk in, River shouted anxiously, ”Hayden, I know I messed up. Please give me another chance. I will definitely help Art Trading Corporation reclaim its honor. Please!”
But would favonovel.com get another chance? Of course not!
Hayden lifted the cane in his hand, poked it at River’s heart, and said, “Remember what I told you during the day?”
“Of course, I remember!” River pouted and said, “I remember you saying that if I lost the competition, you would dig out my heart and cut it up and feed it to the fish.”
“Well…” Hayden nodded. “Your memory seems to be pretty good, so now that you have lost the competition, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?”
River said with a bitter face, “It was truly an accident this time. I’m not sure why our team’s equipment was having issues, to be honest…”
Hayden raised his hand. “All that is no longer important I only know that you have lost the competition. The first line of defense of Art Trading Corporation was completely destroyed, and the company’s reputation was repeatedly tarnished. I’m in a bad mood right now and need to find an outlet.”
The moment Hayden said this, River knew how things would end for him. He was so scared that favonovel.com peed.
Hayden said, “What goes around, comes around, you have to be bold and embrace the consequences of your failure. River, you’ve been working for me for some time. Why are you still so cowardly?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com raised his hand, and one of his men handed over a sharp dagger. Hayden raised his hand, aiming the dagger’s tip at River’s heart.
“No…”
