"If you’re scared, then scram. Miss Diane should have better choices than a coward living off others," Guan Xin said disdainfully to Baiyi, who remained silent.
Baiyi ignored him, clicked the link through Zero, and Guan Xin’s words from the live broadcast filled Baiyi’s mind, while the broadcast showed a 360-degree view with no blind spots.
He looked around and immediately saw some small metal balls floating about seven or eight kilometers away.
Guan Xin also noticed these small balls, a flash of annoyance in his eyes. Flames flickered around him, seemingly intending to clear those balls away.
When did someone dare to secretly film him? Are they looking for death?
"This is the live equipment, aren’t you afraid to let others see it?" Baiyi suddenly spoke, drawing Guan Xin’s attention.
He activated Zero’s projection feature, and instantly a phantom light screen appeared: "If you’re scared, I can have someone turn off this broadcast."
"No need," Guan Xin said disdainfully. In his eyes, Baiyi was just someone who had only risen in the past year, and he was ahead by more than ten levels.
If he still lost at this level, he might as well find a block of tofu to bash himself with.
"I don’t mind bankrupting your Dongwu City. Maybe if you plead with me afterward, I might help you out of humanitarian concern." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He took out his phone and started placing a bet on himself; in a sure-win situation, there was no reason not to bet.
Crushing a love rival, making the rival lose face, and taking the rival’s money—nothing could be more satisfying.
And Diane, due to the surrounding cameras, had already pulled up her hood, her head resting on Baiyi’s back. She eagerly took out her phone, preparing to place a bet.
As in many previous times, Baiyi said he could win, so she believed him. She intended to wager all her pocket money on Baiyi winning.
But before she could bet, a hand took her phone.
"Hmm?"
She looked up confusedly at Baiyi, her big eyes full of doubt.
Baiyi raised his hand, and the Magnetic Mechanism appeared, forming a throne. He sat with Diane, whispering in her ear, "Wait, bet at the last moment."
Diane felt he was a bit too close, but seeing the flamboyant guy’s angry face, recalling the harassment she’d faced from him, she leaned into Baiyi’s embrace, softly saying, "I’ll listen to you."
Bang~
The ground cracked, Guan Xin sitting expressionlessly, the Flame Throne emerging, and the surrounding temperature gradually rising.
The internet also exploded due to Diane’s actions, after all, top talents naturally drew lots of attention. Previously, other than Baiyi being quite high-profile, not many top talents appeared online.
Cameras could easily be detected when filming people, and no one wanted to offend a top talent. So, even though Baiyi frequently appeared on Dawn’s network, it was mostly in text, not images.
Now, seeing three top talents at once, and the melodramatic love triangle...no, actually, it was Guan Xin trying to steal someone else’s girlfriend, and because of this, an online betting event started.
This was an official account, not the kind that scams!
The whole internet was abuzz with the event, and discussion was everywhere.
Even quite a few players in the Capital City were inclined to come over and watch.
Meanwhile, in the congress.
Metheus Di Feng looked at the projection in front of him, his mouth twitching. As Diane’s grandfather, he was pleased that his granddaughter found an excellent partner.
But...
He looked around at the dozen or so legislators with strange expressions, speechless, saying, "So, he called us for a meeting, then went off to fight himself?"
"You should be secretly pleased. If Baiyi and your granddaughter truly end up together, your Di Feng family would have three SSS-levels. You wouldn’t be dissatisfied, you old rascal," Lotte Zhengquan retorted somewhat unhappily.
Having lost the strongest Divination Master, Aisha, he was still a bit heartbroken. Hearing a Versailles remark, he almost wanted to slap him, but thought better of it as he couldn’t win.
"But old-timer, remember not to let Diane go to Dongwu City with that kid. If anyone else follows him to Dongwu City, the congress might as well split up since there are already three top talents there."
"That Curse Doctor doesn’t count, does she? She’s too unstable, and that’s a curse anyway."
"With Luoning nearby, she is the strongest in the Healing System and a powerful Curse System. Why wouldn’t she count?"
"That’s true. Di Feng, remember what Luo Wa said is right. It’s already excessive with three top talents in a Border City. If Diane goes too, half of us might need to go. Otherwise, no one would be at ease."
Metheus, somewhat helpless, began steering the discussion away: "When Baiyi gets here, you can tell him yourselves. But who do you think will win?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Of course, Guan Xin. An eleven-level difference among talents of the same level is insurmountable."
"There’s no eleven-level. Carefully sense it; Baiyi’s current energy fluctuation should be at fifty-six, not fifty-four."
"A nine-level gap is insurmountable too, but Baiyi won’t be easily defeated; the other four youngsters could learn something from this fight."
Metheus smiled, saying, "They’ve already arrived. Baiyi’s fame is significant, and they’re curious too."
"Hey? Look, Baiyi actually started a betting event. But it seems things aren’t looking so good for him now; almost no one is betting on him winning."
"Oh, Oganna went too. But having her watch is good; it ensures more safety."
Metheus: "With Helen there, nothing much will happen."
"Whoa, Fuer, you’re that confident? You bet so much on your grandson, aren’t you afraid of losing big?"
"Lose? I’ll go back and beat that kid if he does...."
Apart from the legislators’ discussion, many eyes in the Capital were on this, but the ones coming to watch on-site were mostly younger people.
For example, Kami, who had reached Gold, along with some younger Silver Level folks.
Four people caught Baiyi’s attention; they didn’t seem weaker than Guan Xin, and two were even stronger, rivaling Charles’s level.
Both were men; one with curious and gentle eyes met his gaze.
This one felt the most threatening, being the strongest present, even Baiyi wasn’t sure of victory.
Baiyi guessed his identity: Ren Chu Family, Helen, Level 75 Full Mage, only twenty-four years old, the Federation’s most gifted.
Even possessing a panel, Baiyi wasn’t confident in catching up to his level within five years, acclaimed as the third legendary of Dawn.
The other had a cold gaze, with Baiyi sensing hostility and the stiffness of the girl in his arms.
His identity was obvious: Diane’s brother, Yuan Tang Di Feng!
The stare made Baiyi uneasy. After all, the girl’s brother was right next to him, while he held the sister in his arms, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"How about..."
Baiyi softly began to say something, and instantly that sharp gaze intensified.
Diane succumbed to the pressure of her bloodline, turning and burying her head in Baiyi’s chest.
And in an instant, all the pressure landed on Baiyi.
