My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 54

But what could she do now? Nathan’s account was frozen directly, plus her opponent’s skills were really too overwhelming!

The player enjoyed a godlike status; he was the one and only true god in the game’s community! Furthermore, he was able to hold her son’s account hostage at his whim with blatant disregard for all rules! Besides, she suddenly remembered something that sent chills down her spine as she reflected upon it.

Rumor had it that the player seemed to be one of the Swordsman Game’s developers and thus an employee of the development studio behind the game. In other words, he might have found out her real- life identity.

On second thought, however, she thought she had no reason to be afraid; the particulars she filled in during account registration were Hale’s. If the player really wanted to make trouble, he would pick on Hale instead.

Nevertheless, Nathan’s account was still in the player’s hands. Now that everyone in the game knew that Scary Phoenix was forcing Sirius into marrying him by taking hostage of the latter’s son, she was left with two choices—she must either marry Scary Phoenix and be a bottom for him, or boost a new account for Nate.

Scary Phoenix would no longer be able to catch Nate once the latter played under a different username. This was at least better than her marrying Scary Phoenix and becoming a bottom for him.

Having made up her mind, Sophia bought Nate lots of toys and presented all of them to him. She explained, “I’ll be going for military training provided by the university, Son. Cell phones and laptops will be confiscated in the military training camp, so I can no longer eat, sleep, and play online games with you.”

Nathan puffed his cheeks out with a mixed expression of sadness and displeasure.

Then, Sophia added, “You see, I offended Scary Phoenix for your sake. Besides, I don’t have time to retrieve your account since I’ll have military training soon. Why don’t you study hard and stop playing games for the time being?”

Seeing that Nathan’s face fell at her words, Sophia suggested, “How about this? You can play using a new account. If you don’t like using a new account, you can play using my account. The gears in my inventory are all yours.”

Nathan turned away and left in exasperation, leaving Sophia alone. Sophia sighed as she watched the boy storming off. She thought to herself, What else can I do?

I’m in despair as well! But Nate is just a kid, so he’ll surely calm down in a while; he’ll cool off after I soothe him tonight. I’ll be going for military training tomorrow, so Nate won’t, in any case, be angry with me at this time.

Taking comfort from the thought, Sophia packed up her stuff as she readied herself to go for military training with her university on the next day.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, Harry, who had done filming his part at the set of a film in North America, quickly made use of the short break to log in to the game. His online character, the ‘No. 1 Beast of the Server’, was getting whatever he wanted in the game right now.

Everything was different ever since Scary Phoenix took him as his son, for countless skilled players came to him every day to acknowledge him as their father or big brother.

Sirius233’s gang, which had thrived for a time, disbanded altogether. Sirius’s son had fallen into Scary Phoenix’s hands, whereas Sirius himself had been offline until now. He had finally gotten rid of this sworn

enemy! Beast had never felt as pleased as he was right now.

He logged in to the game expressly to check on the latest progress. Sirius233 was still offline, and everyone in his sect had left except for a son and a wife. Not only had he lost all his apprentices, but his only son was also still in Scary Phoenix’s hands. Beast arrogantly took all Sirius’s wives, children, and followers over as his, so they had now become his people.

At this moment in the game, Beast was cuddling Sirius’s ex-wives and ex-children while enjoying the admiration of Sirius’s ex-apprentices. Just then, one of his concubines said in an affectedly sweet voice, “If Sirius really becomes Scary Phoenix’s wife, won’t he become your…”

Beast was suddenly aware of this problem as well. Scary Phoenix was his father, so if Scary Phoenix married Sirius, wouldn’t Sirius become his… second Dad? However, he had thought it through immediately afterward, so he said, “My dad did that just to humiliate him! Who does he think he is? How could he really be my dad’s spouse?”

Scary Phoenix was a Prince Charming revered by every player in the game, so much so that many people came to this server specifically to sneak a glance at him! Countless players wanted to pair up with him, yet he had always remained single. Therefore, how could he possibly fancy Sirius, who was a male and a douchebag?

Harry believed he knew Michael’s sexual orientation quite well. Michael had a thing for sassy young girls; if he was really gay, he would have turned Harry gay a long time ago, and Sophia wouldn’t even have a place in his love life.

As his younger sister came into his mind, Harry sighed subconsciously and stared off into space for a while. Suddenly, he saw one of his followers in the game rushing in frantically, saying, “Chief, Sirius has slaughtered his way to our hill!”

“What?!” Beast was shocked, and everyone at the scene also looked at each other in surprise.

The follower reported, “Sirius has killed many members of our gang!”

“This is outrageous! I shall go out and meet him!” said Beast.

Beast then dashed out of the hall at the head of everyone else, including his followers, wives, and children. Once they were outside, they indeed saw the battle cries at the foot of the hill and a red-robed war god who killed his way toward them with a sword. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Wearing an epic limited-edition Dragon-Riding Armor, the war god was wielding his great sword that cost two million, which was of Fire attribute and came with a 200% increase in critical hit rate.

Furthermore, he even summoned the strongest shikigami in the game, surrounding himself with seven or eight spirits that killed everyone in sight until the foot of the hill was covered with blood. Not only were the people killed, but so were the saddle horses, cats, dogs, and even the mascots Harry kept at the entrance!

Sirius233 had gone insane! If a player was killed in the game, they would come back to life as a new character with their level squished down to level one. Also, all their possessions would be taken away by the player who killed them.

Sirius was coming at them in full fury. Not only did he equip himself with top-level gear, but he also carried a lot of mass-killing weapons with him, slaughtering a good number of people with each attack. These weapons were all forbidden in Swordsman Game, for their effects were simply too overwhelming.

If a player overused these weapons, there was a certain probability that they would receive divine retribution, go back to square one, and start all over again! But now, Sirius had these forbidden weapons all over himself!

The onlooking crowd was astonished. “Oh my God, isn’t that the Artillery of Italy that came out only recently at the last event? There’s only a handful of it across all servers, and it kills everyone in the field

every time it shows up!”

“Isn’t that the Pear Blossom Storm Needles? That’s a forbidden item that can kill a lot of people with proper usage!”

“I saw the Forbidden Puppet! Sirius even has puppets, and he has so many of them!”

“These are all rare disposable weapons. Is Sirius burning his bridges by showing everything he has?”

Regardless of what they said, Sirius didn’t utter a word. Wielding his sword, he led his puppets and shikigamis up the hill and—just as everyone was discussing—killed many of Beast’s followers, strewing the hilltop with corpses until the place was flowing with blood.

System notifications popped up every few seconds to inform that one or more players were knocked out, and the screen was blood-red all over. Sirius had really gone berserk!

Such was the scene Beast witnessed as soon as he came out. Seeing his followers lying dead all over the place, he flew into a rage as he roared, “Sirius, are you crazy?!”

Instead of answering him, Sirius burst through the crowd like a maniac and thrusted his sword at Beast!

His imposing manner frightened Beast so much that the latter took a few steps back. However, Sirius didn’t give Beast any chance to escape. With the momentum of a raging thunderstorm, he came charging at Beast at breakneck speed, appearing in front of the latter in a flash!

Beast was now certain that Sirius had really gone crazy. He also looked even more terrifying than when he stormed up the hill to kill off Beast’s entire sect last time!

Terrified, Beast went into hiding and had his followers, wives, and children help him ward off Sirius for a while. Meanwhile, Harry dashed into the filming set while carrying his laptop, shouting, “Help me, Daddy! Sirius has come to kill off my entire sect!”
