Chapter 267 - Battle of Words
Chapter 267 – Battle of Words.
In the Colosseum.
Another match ended.
The beautiful gladiator once again made the Wheel of Victory to appear, and the lucky player who won, prayed before spinning it.
Once the spinning wheel stopped, the color of white became clear.
”Congratulations, you won 100000 White Coins!” The beautiful gladiator screamed loudly.
”Yes!” The Player looked very excited, and if it were before the World Bank update, he would have been disappointed, but now he was very excited.
*Clap* *Clap*
The Players inside Gladiator Area clapped slowly, somewhat jealous of the lucky players.
*Ding* *Ding*
Isaac flinched after sudden dinging noise echoed inside his mind.
In front of him, a notification popped up.
[Gather at the Entrance of the Arena!]
[Your Match is about to commence!]
”Oh…” Isaac bit his upper lip and stood up, but out of nowhere, someone else also stood up.
He looked with surprise at Queen Diana.
”You got the message too?” She asked with slight surprise.
Isaac nodded.
”Good luck,” Darth said to both Isaac and Diana.
The Core Members of Black Arrow Guild also gave their own good luck wishes.
They left the gladiator area and continued walking in the corridors until they found out a sign that told them where they should go next.
After walking past multiple stairs and rooms, they reached the Arena’s Entrance, where a few familiar Players had gathered.
Darkside was sitting with his League of Assassins while members of Wraithless stayed seated silently.
Once they arrived, they attracted all the hatred of the Players present.
Darkside stood up in anger and pointed at Isaac with a shaky finger, ”Wraith, you little shit!”
Deathsong unsheathed his dagger with a murderous gaze, ”Ant…”
Suddenly, KnightOfHoliness started laughing, ”Hahaha. Wraith, you are indeed popular!”
”You know that piss ant?” Darkside frowned.
”Back off.” Salamander snapped and growled, ”He is our prey.”
”Oh?” Darkside raised an eyebrow before chuckling, ”Kukuku… That is fine, but remember to humiliate him.”
”Obviously.” Salamander said like it was an obvious thing to do.
Queen Diana kept standing calmly but looked at Isaac’s facial expressions from the corner of her eye.
Isaac’s face had no reaction, with no remorse for what he did back then.
He used to treat White Online as a game, but the members of Wraithless happened to be people who acted like White Online was real life.
Also, they lost a fair sum of money because of Isaac, but he didn’t expect them to buy new VR Helmets.
*Creak*
One of the nearby doors opened, and the beautiful gladiator appeared with a gentle smile on her face.
”Who wants to go first?” She asked.
”Hehe, we will.” Darkside said while looking at Diana, ”Right?”
Queen Diana nodded while taking her bow from her back.
The beautiful gladiator nodded and said, ”I will go make the announcement, and afterward, the doors will open, and you two may enter.”
Darkside and Queen Diana nodded.
After seeing them understanding, the beautiful gladiator left, but her perfume was still lingering in the air, making many of the League of Assassins squint their eyes in pleasure.
”This will be fun.” Darkside grinned and saw Isaac standing without emotion, ”What is wrong, Wraith? Too scared to speak?”
”No,” Isaac replied calmly.
”Lies.” Darkside slowly moved towards Isaac with his upper body swaying side to side.
Soon, his face was right in front of Isaac’s.
”Boo!” Darkside made a sudden movement, trying to get any reaction from Isaac, but didn’t even make him flinch.
”Heh.” He chuckled and turned around to leave, but he suddenly turned around and sent an uppercut toward Isaac’s jaw.
However, the uppercut stopped an only inch away from contacting with Isaac.
Still, there was no reaction from him.
”Tch.” Darkside clicked his tongue and waved his index finger, ”You are good. Keeping your fear inside you… You must be used to doing that, haven’t you?”
”Good actor.” Deathsong said from the other side of the room, ”All cowards are.”
”Enough.” Queen Diana snapped and said with a chilly tone, ”Darksaid, back off.”
”Heh.” Darkside innocently smiled, ”Mama Diana?”
”I am not scared of you.” Suddenly, Isaac spoke his mind out.
Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows in surprise.
The League of Assassins chuckled, thinking that Isaac was trying to act tough.
”Oh?” Darkside grabbed the hilt of his dagger and narrowed his eyes, ”Is that so?”
”Why would I be scared of bullies?” Isaac shook his head with a small smile, ”Bullies are either too young to understand what they are doing wrong, but when they are older and still bully weaker ones, that makes them sad… Pitiful… Pathetic.”
”Oh.” Darkside grinned and leaned closer to whisper with venom, ”You speak like you know who I am?”
”I don’t know who you are.” Isaac said truthfully, ”But, I know what kind of person you are.”
”Well then, tell me!” Darkside shouted and rubbed the hilt of his dagger, ”What kind of person I am?!”
”You are around 20 in age.” Isaac started speaking, ”In school, you were neither popular nor unpopular, but you wanted to be the center of the attention.”
Darkside tried to open his mouth, but no words came out.
Deathsong frowned and wondered why Darkside wasn’t saying anything.
The rest of the League of Assassins still thought that Isaac was speaking out of his ass.
”White Online came in perfect time to fulfill your desire to be the center of the attention.” Isaac raised his head and looked straight towards the floating camera, ”You like to be the person who is feared and respected by others.”
”You feel satisfied if someone talked about you with respect… Or fear,”
Darkside was about to open his mouth, but Isaac continued.
”You challenged Diana because you want your Guild Members to look at you with respect and Black Arrow with fear.”
”Your parents gave more attention to your siblings, which made you bitter, and you wanted to show them that you aren’t a failure.”
”I can bet that your siblings and parents are currently watching your stream.” Isaac’s words made Darkside shocked.
”What you are showing them is that you are a bully.” Isaac shook his head, ”They are embarrassed by you.”
”Shut up!” Darkside screamed and grabbed Isaac from the collar, ”You piece of shit!”
”Oh.” Isaac looked still calm with a slight smirk on his attractive face, ”Was I correct?”
