Chapter 242 Revenge Series

Chapter 242 Revenge Series

In reality, sitting in her dimly lit room, Mello straightened her back from her unruly sitting position and looked at the screen with a baffled expression.

Her screen showed dozens of commission requests from new clients, which happened after a new ForeverTuber, Ambrose, put her name in the video descriptions, thanking her for the thumbnail.

It opened her new opportunities, but she now felt quite overwhelmed by the number of new jobs she was getting.

It would take her whole day to finish these commissions, but the thing was, she was getting more and more commissions with each passing hour.

At this rate, the work would never end.

She sighed before pinching her nose.

"I suppose I can be thankful to him. I wonder what he is doing now; he hasn't made any videos or asked for new commissions." Mello wondered out loud.

Even if she had thirty new commissions, if she saw a glimpse of his name among the commissions, she would prioritize his.

'I wonder if there is any news about him in forums.' She thought and made her fingers dance across the keyboard as she wrote the website address in the search bar.

After she was done writing, she pressed enter and saw the forums open up in front of her.

The top posts mentioned Hightown and what had happened there last night, but it didn't interest her.

Instead, she went to another search bar and wrote "Ambrose."

It didn't take even a second for a bunch of posts to appear, but the most prominent one was from a player called 89John.

The post had over 1,000 likes and countless comments.

'What is this?' She curiously checked it out, and her jaw dropped in shock.

After seeing a link to Olympos' stream, she double-clicked on it, and once the ForeverStream website opened up, she saw the stream that had over two million viewers currently.

The chat was going crazy with excitement as Olympos was finally going to take his revenge!

Her heart started racing, as this looked very bad for Ambrose.

'If he loses, it could mean the end of his ForeverTube career...'

...

On the warm street of Loch City, a middle-aged man with combed-back black hair and gray eyes walked with a shopping bag in one hand and black sunglasses on the other.

Ding, ding—his phone suddenly buzzed.

"Hmm?" Julian pocketed his sunglasses and pulled out his touchscreen phone.

He saw a notification from one of the streams he sometimes followed—Olympos' stream.

He rarely watched his streams, but he was following hundreds of streams. Whenever he was offline, he would check out some of the most interesting streams.

He was literally breathing, living, and obsessed with Martial Online.

Therefore, he watched those streams to learn something new about the game every day.

That's how he reached the top of Ember Online.

Usually, he would ignore most stream notifications, but this one stopped him in his tracks.

'Rematch against Ambrose, huh.' He chuckled, as he felt like this was very amusing. 'You'll lose. Well, while I am making food, I can now watch something.'

After pocketing the phone, he hummed as he headed back to his home with ingredients ready to be cooked.

...

On the street of Hightown, 89John watched with a smile on his face as they slowly followed Ambrose and the girl beside him.

They kept a big enough distance to not get discovered.

Therefore, Olympos also carried his camera and did not let it follow him in the air, as it was easy to discover.

The chat started to slowly become impatient, as they felt like Olympos was far too careful.

His diehard fans still believed blindly that he would be way stronger than Ambrose.

"Go on." 89John pushed Olympos slightly forward. "I'll record the fight for you, right?"

Olympos hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to go ahead with the fight.

"Alright, but remember the deal, r-right?" He asked with a shaky tone.

"Of course." 89John smiled. 'As long as I have control over the camera, I can choose what to show in the fight. I can give some help to Olympos without others discovering it.

'As long as he wins the fight, I can then get the Upgrade Token from him, just like he promised, as long as I help him to win.'

Olympos nodded, slightly more confident now.

He then straightened his posture and walked through the pedestrians.

After pushing two elderly NPCs to the side, he saw the hat-wearing young man looking at the girl beside him and saying something.

The red-eyed young woman listened with curiosity, but she looked somewhat absent, as if there was something in her mind, but she was not sure how to ask about it.

"Ambrose!" Olympos then screamed, desperately trying to get his attention. "Today, you'll die!"

He opened his coat, revealing a row of hidden daggers tucked inside the belt.

"Murder Party!"

Swoosh—with no warning whatsoever, a sharp-edged black blade touched Olympos' throat.

His face paled, and with frightened eyes, he saw Ambrose looking at him, a sinister look plastered on his face.

"Olympos, you bastard." Ambrose scoffed and looked at the hidden daggers with a serious look.

'This fool attacked me on such a busy street. Bella is also next to me. I can't afford mistakes now, as it could mean her death.'

89John, watching the scene, clicked his tongue in disapproval and pulled out a small dart, its tip clad in poison.

'You fool, what are you doing!' He shouted inwardly.

"T-today, I'll have my revenge!" Olympos shouted, even though he was clearly frightened by the blade touching his neck.

'This idiot will definitely make some desperate attempt to kill me.' Ambrose thought as he saw a somewhat familiar figure holding a camera.

'He is streaming; losing would be way too humiliating for him.'

Ambrose pulled his sword back and slowly slipped it back inside his scabbard.

Olympos was confused, trying to understand why Ambrose had suddenly stopped.

"Let's do this in there." Ambrose tilted his head in the direction of the alleyway with a dead end. "You don't want us to get interrupted, right?"

"Y-yeah, sounds good!" Olympos nodded shakily, but inwardly, he was smiling.

This was much better for him, as it was easier to get help from 89John like this.

Whenever there were pedestrians nearby, some unexpected things might happen.

Ambrose nodded and glanced at Bella, then pointed with his nose in the other direction.

Bella nodded, understood what it meant, and crossed the street quickly, but she stayed near enough for her to be able to see inside the alleyway and what was going to happen.

Ambrose and Olympos, followed by 89John and Beehave, walked into the alleyway and distanced themselves.

They were eyeing each other, suspicious of every move.

'This fool can't possibly think that he can defeat me.' Ambrose squinted his eyes. 'Those friends of his must be planning something. But he is streaming, so will he really ruin his reputation by fighting unfairly?

'Or, do they have a way to help Olympos without being seen?

'Or does Olympos really think he is a match for me?'

"Today, I will have my revenge!" Olympos shouted with a grin and then looked at the camera. "This will be called the Revenge Series, where I will fight fellow players and defeat them!"

'He is actually just stealing my idea?' Ambrose raised his eyebrow. "You dumb or what?"

"Hahaha!" Olympos laughed and turned back to him. "You stole the idea from me. That's right, everyone. It was always my idea, but he heard me talking about it to my good friend 89John, so he stole it and used it against me.

"Out of anger at getting my idea stolen not once but twice, I fought him, but because of my fit of anger, I lost.

"However, now, I will get my revenge!"

"Hah," Ambrose laughed.

Olympos smirked, thinking that his lie was actually very convincing.

However, 89John and Beehave felt very embarrassed as this lie of his had a very big plot hole, which made it impossible to believe it!

When he got his first idea, "stolen," he immediately mentioned it and used it to crucify Ambrose, but now, when he got defeated and the video was uploaded, not even once did he mention it being his idea.

He clearly had been only upset because he was defeated, and now it felt like a very poor attempt at lying by Olympos!

Also, Olympos clearly wasn't the biggest fan of fighting, even though he was relatively powerful.

Now, he was saying that he created a whole series focused on fighting.

Even his diehard fans had a hard time believing it!
