Chapter 336 The other three agreed to Uncle Larryâs remark.
Lord of Honors was a global game that required players to form groups. The highest-ranking player would earn the title âLord of Eternalâ.
On the game page, one could see right away that the highest-ranking player was Uji Quin from Kansas, but they were not online.
Online gaming was their forte, and they did far better than players from Burlington. There was only one player from Burlington in Lord of Honorsâ global top ten, while five were from Kansas.
Charmine clicked on Uji Quinâs profile and clicked on one particular button: (Challenge)
The âchallengeâ was one of Lord of Honorsâ unique features, allowing its players to challenge anyone as long as they deposited some cash. If the player lost, however, the cash would not be refunded.
Charmine deposited one hundred million.
Just like that, Lord of Honorsâ world chat was overridden with comments about the challenge.
[OMG! Someone just deposited one hundred million to challenge Uji Quin!]
[This is the second time in five years anyone had ever challenged Uji Quin!)
[The last time someone challenged them was kill, but the user has gone under the radar. Theyâre probably a goner by now.]
(This is a new player! Why so daring? What makes him think he could challenge the Lord of Eternal!)
(Thatâs one hundred million. How gutsy!)
The four elderly men sitting behind Charmine merely smiled; they knew their little Charmine always had such boldness in her.
Moreover, Uji Quin would never be able to win away the money. Charmine could end Uji Quin without breaking a sweat!
Unfortunately, Uji Quin did not come online that night. As it got rather late, Charmine turned to them and said, âWhy donât you go and get some rest? Iâll find you when I hear back from them.â
âNo need, no need. Iâve come here to stay up the night anyway! I even brought along my supplements!â Uncle Pop took out a normal-looking pill and popped it into his mouth.
âDidnât we already discuss the rest?â sighed Charmine. âItâs getting late.â
âWho said so? We have a more pressing matter at hand. Didnât I ask Kay to speak to you the other day? What do you say?â
pestered Uncle Larry.
Charmine was caught off-guard. âHuh?â
âLook at you! You didnât even take note while William checks on you every three to five days!â Uncle Pop said angrily.
That made Charmine alarmed. They came to pester her to marry William Peterson!
âThat... Ah! Iâm quite tired, and I need some rest...â
She stood up ready to leave, but the four elderly men blocked her way and placed her back on her seat.
Uncle Max said with a serious tone, âCharmine, weâve heard about you and Anthony Baileyâs progress after you came back.
Anthony is indeed a good man, and heâs good enough for you as well, but his family is too much of a mess.â
âExactly, just look at the situation about the kid. Heâs not accepted by the rest of the Bailey family, and youâd have to be his step-
mother if youâre to marry Anthony. Also, Anthonyâs parents wonât make it easy for you either. Itâd be difficult.â
âBy then, youâll get pulled into their messed-up dynamics. You wonât even have time to truly make use of your full potential!
Thatâs a waste, donât you think?â
âAlso, thereâs a mysterious force keeping an eye on the Baileys, and even we havenât been able to find out who they are. If youâre to be with Anthony, it wonât be easy.â
The four of them added one after the other.
Charmine frowned. âA mysterious force? How do you know about that?â
âThatâs because we care about you, and we pulled at all the stops to do a checkup on the Baileys. Thereâs no need to look at their business rivals and fights within the family; there was also a mysterious force involved five years ago with an anonymous purpose. And itâs also this mysterious force that sent Momo to Anthony,â explained Uncle Pop.
Charmineâs eyes darkened. âMysterious force? Didnât Momo come from a surrogate mother?â
Anthony said it himself that Momo came from a surrogate mother. What had that to do with a mysterious force?
