Chapter 1962: Didn’t You Bring Your Brains With You Today

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Now we see Sorrowless. It really is such a pity for him,” Dark Wind sighed with great regret.

As a commentator, he shouldn’t be expressing his bias so clearly in the commentator’s seat, but perhaps he just couldn’t hold back. Sorrowless’ meteoric rise coincided with his own success; it could be said that his position in the commentating world was a result of his a.n.a.lysis on Sorrowless.

From then on, he tried to commentate almost every single compet.i.tion that Sorrowless was in.

Now, with Sorrowless planning to retire after this compet.i.tion, he couldn’t help but feel intensely emotional.

“Everyone has their own choices. Maybe we look at it with great regret, but perhaps he thought it was really worth it at the time,” Lu Li said after thinking for a while.

He really admired Sorrowless. If he was in his shoes, he wasn’t sure if he could let everything go like Sorrowless was doing.

However, there were a lot of unfriendly rumors in the outside world.

Lu Li was a schemer, having infiltrated Glory Capital back when Darkness went to Ruling Sword. He had just been playing a ma.s.sive game of chess for the past two years, and had now finally knocked out Glory Capital.

This was pure nonsense. Lu Li was actually a very proud person; how would he know Sorrowless would do this?

He was rather regretful that he couldn’t defeat Sorrowless fair and square.

Glory Capital, under Sorrowless’ leaders.h.i.+p, was still the unopposed hegemon of the game, while Lu Li’s Ruling Sword was just a weak, one-dimensional kid in comparison.

There was a clear example of this in the Wild Bosses, where Glory Capital continued to take the lead.

It was only the crumbs that Glory Capital allowed the other clubs to scramble for. Even though the three clubs of Drizzle Court, Peerless City and Ruling Sword were allied together, they never got to the point of fighting outright with Glory Capital.

A successful club wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

At the very most, Ruling Sword would have a group of top players that Lu Li found and trained. The quality of these players wouldn’t be much worse than Glory Capital, but in terms of numbers, there would be many less.

Glory Capital had at least ten Elite teams which were comparable with Ruling Sword’s core Elites.

And they had 500 Elite teams altogether!

Ruling Sword only had about ten.

The one who could defeat Sorrowless was only he himself.

This was the first time he had fought after announcing his retirement, and he was facing the Thief Water Fairy, who had less than half HP.

After a subtle nod of greeting, the two engaged in battle.

Water Fairy rushed for the first attack. Her task was to use up as much of Sorrowless’ HP as she could, giving a chance for the players coming up later.

And Sorrowless, as before, was steady and sharp, without the slightest indication that something wasn’t right.

“Sorrowless is still Sorrowless!” Dark Wind laughed.

Water Fairy lost.

The next player from Drizzle Court also lost.

Even three people weren’t able to defeat Sorrowless; he wasn’t the G.o.d of magic for nothing. Many people just knew Sorrowless as the leader of Glory Capital, but forgot that he himself was a top-level compet.i.tor.

He was someone who pushed the limits of the constantly changing rules of game league alliances.

The score for Glory Capital and Drizzle Court on the arena was 3:1.

Next came the group stage.

It was originally thought that Sorrowless would lead the team, and that he would overwhelmingly crush Drizzle Court. What was unexpected was that Glory Capital suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat in the group stage.

The final result was 3:3; they had fought to a draw.

“Man, there is a lot to say.”

Dark Wind sounded indescribably disconsolate. He didn’t give any extended a.n.a.lysis of various events in the battle, which was a little out of character for him.

Drizzle Court then met them on their home court, and Sorrowless didn’t even come out to fight.

They completely turned the tables in the arena, taking a 3:2 advantage.

In the group battle, Sorrowless was evidently out of touch with his teammates in his lineup. It wasn’t clear whether he didn’t get along with his teammates, or whether his teammates didn’t get along with him. Besides, there were all sorts of problems, so naturally, they fell short of victory.

Glory Capital lost to Drizzle Court 2:5.

All up, the scores from the two rounds were 5:8 – Glory Capital were 3 points behind.

Although there was still hope of turning the tables, that hope wasn’t strong. At the very least, they would need to resolve their teamwork if they were to stand a chance.

Glory Capital were defeated by Drizzle Court.

The situation was growing rather ridiculous now; even various media outlets were reporting all about it.

They blamed Sorrowless for being selfish, tiring out the whole club and having Glory Capital enter a period of unprecedented crisis.

This mighty empire that had been built over 10 years would disintegrate in one day.

There was news that Blood Dagger had already discussed that he would move to a different job after this. Someone else claimed that White Westhill might leave Glory Capital, and that she already had an investor who was willing for her to establish a new club.

Lu Li took all the info and threw it on the table, rubbing his eyebrows as he dealt with a headache.

Square Root 3 stayed lighthearted, joking with Lu Li.

“You afraid of meeting your partner in the finals?”

The top people present from Ruling Sword began to study the current situation. They didn’t believe that Glory Capital would collapse like this, but they did not understand how all this happened in front of their eyes.

“If they really collapse, I feel this is a good chance. We can absorb a lot of Glory Capital’s Elite teams; it would be like sharing a banquet.”

Cat Dad was excited; he had seen too many major organizations overturn before. Each time, the tumbling down of one club was a very good thing for other clubs.

“We’re really lacking in capital,” White Bread said, her face covered in anxiety.

“We can borrow from the Life Alliance. They have a lot of money,” Lu Li responded.

“Why not from your partner?” Square Root 3 asked curiously.

…

“Are you guys done yet? What’s the point of discussing this?!”

Wandering was lying on his back and sleeping in the corner when he was woken up by their increasingly intense discussion.

“We’ll collapse before Glory Capital does. They’re just not going to – can you really not see that it’s all fake?” he said impatiently.

“Fake?”

The others were really confused.

“What’s fake? The scores aren’t fake, and Sorrowless can’t be faking his retirement. He’s had press conferences; it can’t be good for him to eat up his words like that…”

“Man, how can you guys be so stupid?” Wandering questioned as he sprawled over the table, holding up his forehead.

“Didn’t you bring your brains with you today?”

“Ahem, we really are a bit dumb. Why don’t you explain it to us?” Lu Li said as he lowered his posture.

“Who is Sorrowless? He’s the G.o.d of Glory Capital. He’s left such big shoes to fill, so who could take over? Wendelian can’t – what is she? How could she take over from Sorrowless? How could she take over from Sorrowless, the guy whose essence has permeated every part of Glory Capital…”
