Chapter 904: Hellblizzard's Powerful Love Rival!
Chapter 904: Hellblizzard's Powerful Love Rival!
Initially, Hellblizzard believed that Yecheng's exceptional exam results and eventual hero status were due to her intervention.
But now the truth is out—her position as the top B-Class Hero didn't hold as much weight as she thought. Yecheng's exceptional admission was solely because of the wealthy lady's influence!
"So, it was you all along... Oh well, it's too late to change anything now, and the salary for S-Class Heroes is quite impressive."
Seeing Yecheng's complex expression, Whitney also looked puzzled. This situation was quite different from the love strategies she had read about.
The books always said that if you like someone, you should silently make sacrifices for them, and one day, when they unintentionally discover everything you've done, they'll be so touched that they'll fall in love with you. But Yecheng didn't seem particularly moved or happy about it.
Looking at her clueless young mistress, the maid beside Whitney couldn't help but cover her face in exasperation. Her mistress was undoubtedly a genius in business, but when it came to love, she was as naive as they come.
"Mr. Yecheng, I heard you're also a member of the Hellblizzard Team. Will you be my bodyguard this time as well?"
Whitney was only puzzled for a moment before deciding not to dwell on it.
After all, the things she had done were just that—things. Some of them, in Yecheng's eyes, were nothing but trouble.
However, it was undeniable that her actions were sincere. Seeing the boy's expectant gaze, Yecheng found it difficult to refuse.
Just as he was about to say something, Hellblizzard unexpectedly stepped forward and spoke up, "Miss Whitney, regarding the bodyguard list, we submitted it to the Hero Association in advance.
As for Yecheng and the others, they came to D City for other matters, so unfortunately, they might not be able to serve as your bodyguards."
Hellblizzard didn't know why she instinctively spoke up for Yecheng, but after learning about the relationship between Yecheng and Whitney, she now felt a little annoyed.
It was true that Whitney had known Yecheng longer than she had, but so what! To Yecheng, Whitney was just one of the many passersby he had saved. But Hellblizzard was different!
During the meteor impact, Yecheng had encouraged her. When the Sea King incident occurred, he had traveled far and wide to save her, disregarding the danger. And when her sister, Tornado, came looking for her, he had stood by her side.
Compared to Whitney, Hellblizzard and Yecheng had shared more experiences. They had fought side by side multiple times, and even if they didn't owe each other their lives, they were more than just friends. What right did this mysterious wealthy young lady have to compete with her?
In terms of looks and figure, Hellblizzard was no less than Whitney. So what if she had a billion more in her bank account? It wasn't that impressive!
Of course, Hellblizzard would never admit that she liked Yecheng. The reason she was doing this...
Hmm... It was simply because Yecheng was a member of her Hellblizzard Team, and she didn't want her teammate to be deceived by this sudden, mysterious rich lady. That's right, that's all there was to it!
The romantically clueless Whitney didn't notice Hellblizzard's unusual behavior and instead showed a disappointed expression. Looking at Yecheng, she asked, "Mr. Yecheng, what brings you to D City?"
"We're here for the game release event, and we've heard the prize money is quite impressive..."
Night City was surprised by the usually quiet and reserved Baldy's sudden chattiness today, and his rapid speech left no room for interruption.
"If you're also here for the game release in City D, you're more than welcome to join our Miss."
The maid by Whitney's side offered a subtle assist to her mistress, her eyes briefly glancing towards Hellblizzard.
Whitney, being a novice in love, might not have noticed anything, but her maid had. Hellblizzard, the leader of the Hellblizzard Team, seemed particularly attentive to her mistress's love interest...
Their original destination was indeed the game release event, so refusing now would be impolite.
Whitney approached Night City with a cheerful expression and engaged in small talk, while Hellblizzard's face showed displeasure, even regretting accepting this escort mission.
The game release in City D featured a fighting game, but with a twist—it offered both traditional joystick control and a new haptic sensor control. The new control method, where players' actions and intentions were directly translated into the game, intrigued both Night City and Baldy, especially the latter, who had always been too powerful to truly enjoy combat.
Night City, though still likely no match for Baldy, was now one of the closest in strength.
However, they both understood that their full-force combat would cause irreversible damage.
Unable to engage in real combat, they sought satisfaction in gaming.
To create a lively atmosphere and promote the game, the organizers held an offline tournament with a 100,000 yen prize.
Night City, already enthusiastic about the game, eagerly joined the competition.
"If this sensor control is part of the competition, then the champion will either be Teacher Night City or Teacher Saitama, right?"
Genos had an inexplicable confidence in his two teachers. While their chances were slim with traditional controls, this sensor-based control tested players' reaction speed and combat skills.
Genos didn't believe anyone at this event could match Night City and Saitama in those areas.
