Late at night, at the Chengdu AG Super Play Club training base.
A furious roar and the sound of things being smashed echoed from inside the training room.
The corridor was filled with AG players and coaches: Maoshen, Jiucheng, Zhan Yuwen, Xuanran, Zhongyi... They were anxious but helpless!
At this moment, Menglei arrived, travel-worn.
" Teacher Meng."
" Lao Meng."
The crowd spontaneously made way for them.
Menglei looked at Maoshen, Zhan Yuwen, and the others, his face full of anxiety, "Damn it, what happened to Nuozai?"
Zhan Yuwen said with heartache, "Unable to bear the blow of the defeat at the Overlord Feast, he locked himself in the training room, throwing and smashing things, and nothing we did could persuade him to stop."
"The locksmith will be here soon." Maoshen patted Menglei on the shoulder. " Lao Meng, don't be too anxious."
"Damn it, at a time like this, what if Nuozai does something rash and gets seriously injured?" Menglei made a decisive move, clenching her fist and roaring, " Xuanran, break down the door!"
"Okay, Teacher Meng."
Xuanran slammed open the door with a powerful shoulder strike.
Menglei rushed inside in a panic.
The training room was a mess; the multimedia screen was smashed to pieces, gaming chairs were lying haphazardly, and shards of glass were scattered all over the floor.
"I am a sinner against AG."
Yinuo huddled in a corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, trembling uncontrollably, her pitiful sobs coming in broken, intermittent bursts.
" Nuozai." Menglei was heartbroken. Ever since Yinuo joined AG, he had treated him like a younger brother. He squatted down and grabbed Yinuo's arm. "It's me, it's Brother Xiao. Look up."
Yinuo slowly raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, streaked with tears, "Meng... Teacher Meng."
Menglei's eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly took out a tissue to help wipe them away. "You're always like this, silently bearing everything alone."
Tears welled up in Yinuo's eyes, and he frantically slapped himself, "I'm sorry, Teacher Meng, I'm so sorry, I couldn't make our AG team the Overlord, I'm useless, I'm a sinner against AG!"
"Stop! Stop right now!" Menglei hurriedly grabbed Yinuo's hand. "Listen to me, let Brother Xiao finish what he has to say first."
Yinuo was in tears.
Menglei's voice trembled as she said, "It's all my and Sister Fei's fault. We shouldn't have put so much pressure on you. As long as you're alright, we don't care about this bullshit Overlord title or this bullshit King Title."
"You and Sister Fei did nothing wrong." Yinuo's eyes showed pain, she grabbed her hair with both hands, and her lips trembled, "I let you down, I'm too incompetent, I'm just a piece of trash!"
"You're not useless!" Menglei shook Yinuo's shoulder, his eyes resolute. "You're the best captain AG has ever had! Without you, AG couldn't have won so many championships!"
"What's the use of being a champion?" Yinuo's eyes gradually lost their luster, and he mocked himself, "It's still not enough to achieve team Overlord."
Menglei saw it all, and it pained her deeply.
He should have realized it sooner: why had Yinuo become so unfamiliar? Why had she become so cold and ruthless? Why had she become so unscrupulous?
It's all because of [everyone's Overlord ]!
The dream of becoming the undisputed Overlord is not just Yinuo's dream, but the dream of the older generation of AG players!
Who would have thought that the dream that continued would turn into the most vicious curse in the world, torturing AG's best captain to the point of being unrecognizable!
Menglei said softly, " Nuozai, think about it carefully. In this year's Overlord Feast, Zhongyi successfully won the title of Jungle Overlord, but it was Exalted Emperor suddenly appeared, causing Xuanran to lose the Clash Lane Overlord."
"But before that, hadn't our AG team achieved complete Overlord? Am I right?"
Yinuo remained silent.
Menglei forced a smile and said, "Look at you, always like this, you fall silent when faced with a difficult question."
Yinuo remained silent.
No one is a winner all the time!
Menglei reasoned with him, appealing to his emotions. "Like the KPL championship trophy, we've won it, and that's enough. Similarly, since AG has been the undisputed Overlord, we shouldn't be sad about losing it."
"Look."
Menglei took out his phone and opened WeChat. "At the Overlord Feast, the moment you led your team to successfully win the All-Round Overlord, Laoshuai, VV, Lanxi... all the original AG players sent congratulatory messages!"
Yinuo looked down.
At that moment, a message popped up on Menglei's WeChat.
It was sent by [Boss Sister Fei ].
"I texted Xiaonuo but he didn't reply. Honestly, that kid must be overjoyed. I'm so proud of him."
"Your dream of becoming the undisputed Overlord has been fulfilled by Xiaonuo and the new generation of players."
Please tell Xiaonuo that I will always be proud of him.
Yinuo's shoulders trembled, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, "Fei... Sister Fei."
Menglei breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the crowd behind her, and nodded gently.
Maoshen, Zhan Yuwen, Xuanran, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while...
Yinuo wiped away his tears, stood up, and bowed his head to sincerely apologize. "I'm sorry Menglei, I'm sorry Coach, I lost control of my emotions and broke things. I will pay for them at full price."
Zhan Wenyu laughed and said, "The club was just about to renovate and upgrade the training room. Your vandalism has saved us on labor costs."
Maoshen, Xuanran, and the others burst into laughter.
Yinuo's face flushed slightly, and he reverted to being the shy and humble boy he always was.
"Because I wanted our entire AG team to Overlord so badly, I was under immense pressure recently, which caused some distortion in my personality and made me unable to distinguish right from wrong. If I have offended anyone in any way, I apologize."
Yinuo bowed deeply.
"That's right. It feels like before the Overlord Feast, Captain Nuo's personality turned to the dark side. His leadership personality turned into a punitive personality. He has a terrible temper and can't stand anyone."
Yinuo's face darkened. "Really?"
"When you were targeting Exalted Emperor, you had Nuanyang take the hits, and he failed. You even called him a piece of trash."
Yinuo's face flushed red. "I only scolded him because I considered him a good brother. If brothers aren't used to slander each other, then it's all meaningless."
Menglei stroked his chin. "Speaking of Exalted Emperor..."
As if making a firm decision, Yinuo asked, " Teacher Meng, can you help me get in touch with Exalted Emperor?"
What are you going to do?
Menglei's nerves were on edge.
Maoshen, Zhan Yuwen and others also became nervous. After all, Exalted Emperor personally ended AG's dream of becoming the world's Overlord. For Yinuo, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a blood feud.
Yinuo scratched the back of his head and said, "I want to invite him to dinner to apologize for attacking him without knowing the facts a while ago."
Everyone was taken aback.
Menglei was overjoyed. This was the humble and polite Yinuo he remembered. He was back, all of him was back.
"There's no time like the present, let's do it tonight." Maoshen stepped forward, waving his phone. " Huahai is with Exalted Emperor. He just messaged me, want to find a place to have a drink?"
Yinuo said awkwardly, "Wouldn't it be a bit offensive to come uninvited?"
Menglei laughed and said, "Since Huahai contacted Maoshen, it means he wants to act as a middleman, do a favor, and resolve the conflict between AG and Exalted Emperor."
Yinuo suddenly realized.
Maoshen turned around, beaming, and said, "Everyone, stop standing there like idiots! Get dressed, grab your gear, and let's go!"
Everyone sprang into action.
" Teacher Meng!"
Suddenly, Jiucheng's voice came from the doorway.
Menglei, Yinuo, and Maoshen all looked towards the door.
Jiucheng gestured an invitation, his face full of respect.
A burly, muscular man in a black suit with a scar entered the training room and stood with his hands behind his back to the left of the door.
Immediately afterwards.
A stunningly beautiful woman with shoulder-length short hair and exquisitely delicate features entered the training room. She wore white gloves and stood to the right of the door.
"Unfamiliar faces, who are they?"
Not only Menglei was puzzled.
Even Yinuo, Maoshen, Zhan Yuwen, and others were somewhat at a loss!
"Was there just a fight here?"
A slender boy with a dragon-tail hairstyle, his face hidden by a silver mask, held a can of Sprite. He looked around the training room, his long, slender, white fingers gently pushing up the mask to reveal his lips, and he took a sip of Sprite.
Menglei stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The boy in the silver mask bowed gracefully.
"I am Captain Twilight of the Gods."
"[ Silver Dragon ]!"
