Chapter 88
After three seconds, Zack Cassidy recollected himself. However, he was in a state of disbelief.
Fifth Master did not used to be like this.
Right then, the computer screen turned gray while a line of words appeared on the screen.
"You have been killed."
Stanley Batton acted as if he had not seen it. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Zack.
Zack immediately appeared respectful as before.
"The person who went around spreading rumors had been located. That person is a famous hacker. Now, he has already admitted to everything. He said that Emily Quest was the person who had instructed him to do so. I heard that the young madam personally decoded the man's fake IP address and tracked him down. I did not expect her to be a computer expert. She really is amazing," Zack said. Stanley smiled a little but did not say anything. He was in awe of Xyla's abilities.
"Now, as long as the Quest family makes an announcement to show proof of what had actually transpired, the whole thing will come to pass," Zack said with a serious expression and was careful not to omit anything.
"Keep talking." Stanley was cold as usual. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling from his eyes.
"As for the woman causing a scene at Imperial Prime, there is also sufficient proof that Emily Quest was the one who instructed her to do so. Meanwhile, Emily and her mother have already been brought to the police station for further investigation. Emily insists that she was the only person behind all this and that May Conner had no idea what was going on. Since the police could not find any solid proof that May Conner was involved, she would soon be released. As for Emily, due to her status as a pregnant lady, she would most likely be sentenced to community service," Zack explained.
"Tell them to keep them inside until eleven o'clock in the morning on the day of Emily's wedding," Stanley said coldly before he took a puff of his cigarette elegantly. "Yes, Fifth Master!" Zack could feel goosebumps all over his scalp. Fifth Master was really cruel. Wasn't that intentionally meant to put Emily in a difficult position?
In Atlantis, weddings were usually held at noon. If Emily and her mother were to be released at eleven o'clock on the day itself, they would be frantic.
Besides, going to the wedding venue directly from jail was not a good sign for luck. However, Zack felt that this was indeed an excellent way to compensate for sour feelings. "Aren't they very free? Get them to do more stuff in there," Stanley said determinedly. There was a cold look in his eyes.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away," Zack answered.
"One more thing," Stanley added.
"Anything you want," Zack replied.
"Get the footage of Emily admitting to what she did. I want it released on the day of her wedding all over the internet and all television channels in the city," Stanley said. "Yes." Zack immediately took in a deep breath. He did not expect Stanley to be even crueler.
"Go ahead," Stanley said.
Zack nodded respectfully before he quickly walked away.
When Zack arrived by the door, he stopped walking and turned around to look at Stanley.
"Oh, right. Fifth Master, you were invited to attend the state banquet tomorrow evening. I hope you haven't forgotten about it," Zack said.
"Yeah." Stanley took another puff of cigarette before shifting his gaze back to the computer screen and continued to play his game.
Zack proceeded to leave right away.
Meanwhile, Stanley's teammates were yelling at him for being away from the game.
"Is this the quality of the second-best player in the country? If you aren't going to play, why don't you just stay off the game?" Herb Root asked.
"I will report you later, you piece of trash." Ocean Master wrote.
"North, you are heartless. I hope your ranking drops." The Hunter wrote.
However, Stanley did not display any hint of emotion in his eyes. Instead, he pinched his forehead slightly and responded to the messages.
"Cut the bullsh*t." Stanley wrote.
After that, Stanley repeatedly approached his enemies. At one point, he was fighting against two players on his own. In the end, the opponent's solo top and jungler were defeated, while Stanley only lost one- third of his health points.
The tables had turned.
"Indeed, you are one of the powerful gods. I can't afford to make you angry." Herb Root wrote.
"I take back what I said. You no longer need to apologize. Do you accept leg accessories?" The Hunter asked.
"Hey, hey, hey. Are you a boy or a girl? If you are a boy, would you like to date me on the internet?" Tabby Kitty asked.
