    Qiao Lian had given him her main ount.


    That was Xiao Qiao’s ount.


    He looked at the gaming ID on the screen in astonishment, staring at the nickname that the search had fetched. Then he noted the familiar avatar and looked up at Qiao Lian with a snap of his head. His jaw fell open and he was so excited that he was at a loss for words. “You- you are-”


    The way he was stammering made the girl next to himugh.


    She gave him a friendly shove and said, “San Lang, stop being such a loser, ok? Losing your tongue like that when you see a pretty girl.”


    San Lang gulped.


    Qiao Lian smiled casually, with the mysterious air of a top gamer. She said, “Yes, it’s me.”


    He widened his eyes further.


    The people around the table were all engaged in their own conversations, catching up with each other. Apart from the girl next to San Lang, no one noticed his expression.


    Seeing that he was in a daze, she turned around to look at the captain sitting on her other side.


    The main reason she was here today was to find out about Zi Chuan.


    She was about to speak when the room door was thrown open suddenly.


    Following this, a man with arge body swaggered in.


    The captain’s pupils shrank at once when he saw the man, and he stood up with a start. “Monochrome, why are you here?”


    Monochrome?


    Qiao Lian looked at the person by the door—another old yer of the team!


    However... Qiao Lian frowned.


    A feeling of abhorrence rose within her.


    Monochrome had been a part of the team at that time, but he had caused much unhappiness with his words and deeds.


    When they yed a game, he would follow the other yers and say all sorts of negativements.


    Eventually, the others found out that he was trying to hook up with pretty gamers and, to do this, he had been telling the girls online that he and Zi Chuan were buddies.


    Zi Chuan was arrogant. He had a cold and distant personality.


    Apart from the pioneers of theirpetitive team, he didn’t really care tomunicate with anyone else.


    He was the unquestionable number one in the gaming world and he had scores of female fans. The female fans wanted to get to know him and Monochrome used this to his own advantage.


    When Zi Chuan found out about this, he gave Monochrome a direct warning through the groupchat.


    After that episode, Zi Chuan stopped leading him altogether in the games.


    Zi Chuan had warned her, “Even at such young age, Monochrome uses this sort of hical means. This goes to show that he has no integrity. You should stay away from people like that.”


    From then on, Qiao Lian ceased allmunication with Monochrome.


    And now that she was seeing this person in real life, the only thing she could say was that... he looked as rotten on the outside as how he was on the inside.


    Monochrome was an obese man withrge ears and small eyes. His wretched look was quite revolting.


    As soon as he walked in, his beady eyes were riveted on the captain. With an unpleasant smile, he said, “Isn’t this a team gathering? Why shouldn’t Ie?”


    The captain looked at him with a frown.


    Ignoring the look of disapproval, the disgusting man found a seat and sat down.


    His rotund figure was dressed in branded clothes and he held a briefcase in his hand. He looked up after he sat down and addressed everyone, “Brothers of thepetitive team, I, your humble brother, would like to request your help on a matter regarding Zi Chuan.”


    At this point, he reached into his briefcase to pull out a wad of banknotes. “Here’s a 100 000. This is for you all to divide and distribute. You can consider this a red packet for the new year.”


    The captain narrowed his eyes immediately and asked him, “What exactly do you want?”
