Sword Among Us Chapter 534 – Meeting Silver Wolf!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Happy heard Silver Wolf’s confession, his thoughts were thrown into chaos. He had actually been monitored and protected for more than four months while he was completely unaware of it!

Silver Wolf was actually just one wall away, and he was monitoring Happy every single day using cameras…!

When Happy thought about how he had been taken care of by a man, he felt touched, but also felt his hair rise. He lamented about this in his heart. ‘Thank goodness Silver Wolf is a good man. If his heart was a little twisted, he wouldn’t be protecting me, but would kidnap me, considering that I’m a billionaire.’

It was only then that Happy realized that when he carved another smooth path for himself to tread based on his previous life’s memories, he had unintentionally exposed his greatest weakness.

He had been focused on taking revenge, but at some point in time, he had created an empire that could generate money on its own, and his value was incredible. If he ran into any ambitious person who wanted to get involved in his life and investigated his whereabouts, he might have already been in trouble.

At the same time Happy lamented his fate, he was also secretly feeling lucky that he had not directly become involved in managing Mu Clan, or else, the tiny base he was in would be the same as a very vulnerable Central Bank.

Silver Wolf understood very clearly why Happy had become silent. When a normal person suddenly came to realize that they were worth billions, they would usually be a little lost.

Besides, compared to the people he once protected, Happy could be considered a nouveau riche who acquired his wealth through extraordinary means. He did not have any accumulated power nor any resources to rely on, so his best course of action was to dig a hole, bury himself, and live his life in obscurity.

Happy had just come to a realization of all that, so he would need some time before he could get used to it!

Besides, Happy was not just the leader behind the scenes for Mu Clan, which allowed him to get a staggering hiigh daily income. Once the servers merged and contact between countries became more frequent, he might become even stronger!

“Don’t worry, with me around, your safety is basically guaranteed. My phone is connected to all monitors in the area, and the buildings nearby also have security systems installed. As long as you don’t take the initiative to open the door for others, I will be able to appear in time to protect you.” He paused for a moment before he added, “My three brothers will arrive at noon.”

Happy sucked in a deep breath, said “Come over here”, then hung up.

A few seconds later, someone knocked on the door.

For the first time, Happy felt slightly nervous when meeting Silver Wolf.

Even though he had already come into contact with Silver Wolf many times, it was the first time he met the man in person. The other was recorded as an expert in hand-to-hand combat in a regiment, so Happy was a little nervous.

He opened the door and found himself facing a very tall and built man. His face was cold, and if one was to speak in the terms of a love-crazed girl, Silver Wolf was a very cool and manly man. He was built in such a way that when Happy subconsciously compared his limbs to his, he found himself wanting to crawl into a hole and die.

“Chen Kaixin.” Happy politely extended his right hand and introduced himself.

Without the incomplete silver mask, Silver Wolf did not seem to have the cold and callous personality from the game. He laughed heartily and took Happy’s hand. “I know. It’s best that you call me Silver Wolf. It’s my code name in the squad.”

He habitually looked around the living room before he asked Happy to go inside, and they sat face-to-face on the couch.

While Happy sized up Silver Wolf in secret, the latter was also sizing him up!

Since coming to the base, Happy had lived in seclusion; he practically never went out, so Silver Wolf seldom had the chance to personally see Happy. Much of his understanding came from the databank of the University of South China, along with some of the information circulating on South China Martial Arts Ranking Board.

While Happy was shocked by how young and good-looking Silver Wolf was, Silver Wolf was also shocked by Happy’s youth, level-headedness and temperament. He was a young boy who had strangely placed his faith in him a few months ago and given him five million because he wanted to become his boss.

It was also this boy who appeared to be younger than him by ten years who was the mastermind behind the scenes for one of the greatest sects—Mu Clan—in World of Martial Arts.

On top of that, he was also one of the powerful players whose fame was the greatest in the game!

Both people had their own thoughts, but they talked about topics that were completely meaningless to understand each other.

It was only later that Happy remembered something important.

He called the manager of the pay-to-view system built by the official developers.

“Happy, how rare of you to have time to talk to me! Do you have something good to give me?” the person asked very quickly.

Happy did not drag things out and spoke in a straightforward manner. “I have the battle replay of Silver Wolf and One Emperor’s fight.”

“Silver Wolf and One Emperor? I thought it was yours… That’s a little troublesome. The rules of the pay-to-view system state that the owner of the battle replay is the only one with the right to hand over the copyright of the battle replay.” The other side hesitated for a moment.

“I know,” Happy immediately answered. “Silver Wolf is with me right now. If he asked me to contact you, it would be fine, right?” He saw an indifferent expression on Silver Wolf’s face, but he still sensed a faint hint of urgency in him.

If a battle replay was acknowledged and accepted by the manager of the pay-to-view battle replay system, it would definitely become the trendiest content and be selling like hot cakes.

Silver Wolf suddenly had the feeling that he might really have a chance to become a millionaire.

“This is…” The other side hesitated for a while before he quickly agreed to it. “If he gave you the copyright, then it’s obviously not a problem… but what do you want to talk about?”

“Silver Wolf wants to immediately put his battle replay of fighting against One Emperor on the pay-to-view battle replay system. I want you to give him 50/50.”

Even though Happy did not activate handsfree, with Silver Wolf’s hearing, he could clearly hear the full dialogue. When he heard Happy requesting a 50/50 split, his heart shuddered.

A 50/50 split!

Everyone knew that the division for the pay-to-view battle replay system had been set to only 10%!

A 50/50 split would mean that he would get five times the profit!

“Happy… that will be… a little troublesome. A 50/50 split is currently an offer only for you. Besides, there are already a few players who have fought against One Emperor. This split is a little too high,” Manager Liu said in a very troubled manner.

“But you should also know that those people’s battle replays are not very valuable. The first and second slashes won’t sell.

“Silver Wolf is the only person who managed to fight until the fourth slash, and he’s also the only person who managed to hurt One Emperor.”

Happy was not in a hurry to make his stance known. He sat on the couch with a faint smile on his lips. He slowly played out his advantages, and his calm temperament and expression made Silver Wolf admire him. He felt like he was seeing the in-game Happy, who seemed to be controlling everything with an invisible hand.

At that moment, Silver Wolf finally gained a slight understanding as to why this young man had been able to swiftly create the even larger Mu Clan when Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed!

It was not luck nor coincidence.

“However, those battle replays will still divide Silver Wolf’s resources.” Manager Liu was a brilliant conversationalist. He tried to professionally persuade Happy to give up on the idea of doing a 50/50 split.

But Happy’s understanding toward the pay-to-view system was even better than that of Manager Liu, so his tone remained as calm and confident as before.

“I think it’s the opposite. Silver Wolf’s battle replay is unique, and it’s also complete. The other battle replays are only like trailers and are just promotional material. They will only make more people curious about fighting One Emperor and experiencing a battle replay that contained feelings absent in theirs.

“The first selling point of Silver Wolf’s battle replay is the fourth slash, and his feat of injuring One Emperor is the second. This is something one of its kind, or at least, it is so for now. That’s why we shouldn’t waste time.”

Happy’s final sentence revealed a piece of information that only Manager Liu understood.

Manager Liu was silent for a few seconds before he chose to compromise.”Alright, I’ll agree to it, but there’ll be no next time.”
