Chapter 8 - ‘Business’
Unfortunately, something was bound to happen to Tyron today.
He had just opened his book when his AI housekeeper suddenly popped up with a very striking notification box: “Dear master, someone in the real world is looking for you! Warning, please deal with this information immediately as your life maintenance device is currently failing!”
As mentioned before, Pei Rong’s body had been relying on machinery to live due to his hereditary mental disease. He would die if he wasn’t careful, which made him afraid to even go offline.
Tyron had no choice, and could only choose to turn on the video device that linked to the real world and speak with the person who had come to see him.
.
It was Pei Rong’s younger sister, Pei Ying.
As soon as Pei Ying saw that the video had turned on, revealing her elder brother’s virtual face, she immediately started to whine, “Elder brother, why didn’t you answer any of my communications or reply to my emails?”
Tyron had already changed Pei Rong’s mailbox address and communication number. He really hadn’t wanted to be reached at all.
But he hadn’t expected this younger sister of his to be so cruel as to directly come and look for him in the real world, and attempt to turn off the machinery keeping him alive in order to force him to show up regardless of whether or not it would endanger her elder brother’s life.
Tyron spoke, “Turn the machinery back on. What’s the matter with you?”
The first sentence was directed towards the AI housekeeper, who immediately began to check the life support device and reported to Tyron; Fortunately, Pei Ying did not know how to operate the machinery, so Pei Rong’s body had not been affected.
.
Pei Ying didn’t notice anything else at all. She got straight to the point and said, “Brother, why did you send me the passwords for all the game characters?”
Tyron’s words carried a double meaning. “Your elder brother has already given you all the money and anything of worth. Your name has also been written on the property ownership certificate. On the off-chance that your ‘brother’ dies, you will inherit all of it.”
Pei Ying said, “That... Brother, did you reach the top four in the competition? That player number 419 is you, right?”
Tyron was most annoyed by this kind of circuitous conversation and said, “If you want something, just say it straight.”
Pei Ying bit her bottom lip and said, “Elder brother, you’re going to fight with Lu Chaofan next, right? He wants to talk to you about doing some business, but you didn’t reply to his email. You can’t be reached any other way, so he ended up asking me about it. I was thinking... I think that since our family is currently short on money, I wanted to come and ask you about it.”
By now, Tyron had already understood what was going on.
.
Hey, the little fraudster Lu Chaofan really came to look for him. Did he want to stage a fake battle together?
Tyron was amused once again, but it did not show on his face. He said to Pei Ying, “One million, right? How much do you need?”
