Chapter 105: my team mate

LUO YAN looked at the new arrival.  A tall and slim man playing with the cane in his hand.  That face, that manner of speaking, why did he seem familiar?

"Hey, Yan, isn't that the frivolous looking guy we met at the restaurant before?" Luo Jin said, recognizing the newly arrived male player.  He left quite the bad impression on him, so he remembered him quite well.

Because of what Luo Jin said, a certain memory inside his brain was triggered.  Before they went to raid Infernal Chasm with those three idiots, a male player wearing a black suit warned them that he shouldn't trust those three.  He didn't put much thought into that encounter that's why he readily forgot about it.  Who would have thought that they would meet here again?

"Ah, yes, I remember," he said.

"What, you two know Alucard?" Bai Ze asked after hearing the conversation of the two.

"Alucard?" Luo Jin asked.

"That player wearing a suit over there.  Weren't you two just talking about him earlier?" Bai Ze said, pointing to the player he called 'Alucard' using his thumb.

"We don't know him, per se.  We just had a simple encounter," Luo Yan answered.  "Is he a well-known player?"

"I suppose he is," Bai Ze reluctantly said.  "He's the captain of Sanguis, a pretty strong team.  They've always been in the top 10 ranking of Arcadia Cup ever since their team was established three years ago."

"They would probably rank higher if the captain takes the game more seriously," Su Yuqi commented with that indifferent tone of hers.

"Right, Yuqi, I almost forgot that you're acquainted with Sanguis' vice-captain," Bai Ze said, remembering that particular information.

A captain of a strong team.  Luo Yan didn't expect this guy to be someone quite well-known in the game.  Well, he certainly had the presence of someone not easily ignored.

"That creep called Yan 'my lovely'," Luo Jin suddenly said.  Remembering that still could give him goosebumps.

Luo Yan's face was almost filled with black lines.  [Ah Jin, do you really have to mention that?]

Shen Ji Yun's brows furrowed when he heard that.  'My lovely'?  Why would a man call another man that?  Although the rabbit was indeed lovely, it's not exactly something that a guy would just blurt out randomly.  He glanced sharply at Alucard.  Somehow, this person seemed to be not so pleasing to the eye.

"Ha?  He called Xiao Yan what?" Bai Ze reacted angrily.  "That insufferable playboy!  Can he no longer differentiate between males and females?"

Although Bai Ze must admit that his cousin was definitely prettier than most girls out there.  But that didn't mean that anyone could just go and flirt with him.  Especially not that guy.  No, wait- why would he think that it's only natural for other guys to flirt with his cousin who's clearly also a boy?   

Shen Ji Yun glanced at Bai Ze.  "You know him?" he asked, not talking about the game but in real life.  Because the way Bai Ze just spoke just now, it seemed like he knew him personally.

"He's the young master of the Xu family in B City.  I doubt you know him though since you don't really socialize that much.  But I bet your cousins know him.  They move in the same social circle after all." Bai Ze met him a couple of times because their families made some business together.  Xu Ru didn't really leave the best of impression.  Probably because every time he saw him, he would always be surrounded by women.  "He's famous for being a huge playboy.  He changes girlfriends like he's changing clothes."

Su Yuqi didn't have that much of a bad impression of Alucard.  After all, Qin Rushi, with that temperament of hers, wouldn't be able to tolerate him and stayed as his team's vice-captain if he's all that bad.

Based on what Bai Ze said, Luo Yan could assume that this Young Master Xu was also a rich second generation.  And a playboy to boot.  Being surrounded all the time by women, he's simply the enemy of all men.  Of course, he's not envious.  With his beauty, it would be hard to find a girl who could match him.  They would just end up being jealous of him.

Oh, maybe that girl Song Liuli from that team Celestials could.  She's almost as pretty as him, after all. 

When Shen Ji Yun heard that description, his impression of this 'Alucard' guy decreased even further.  A playboy?  Then did that mean he had that kind of mind towards Luo Yan?  But the rabbit's a guy, so, maybe not?  Most likely, he's expressing his admiration because the rabbit looked really good.  But if that's not the case, then.  He glanced sharply at Alucard.  Then it would totally be a different matter altogether. 

Maybe Shen Ji Yun's glare was so strong that Alucard no doubt felt it.  He looked in their direction.  He only glanced at Shen Ji Yun and then his gaze immediately fell on the rabbit.  Which only made Shen Ji Yun's frown even deeper.

Xu Ru, on the other side, smiled.  Someone else from their team was supposed to go to this event but he went instead.  Because he knew the white-haired elf would come.  And he doubted any of those guys from his team could actually convince the elf to join their team.  They're all so straight-laced and serious, none of them would surely bother to use even a bit of their charm to convince anyone to be part of their team.  Moreover, they listen more to Qin Rushi than him.  Sometimes, he even wondered if he's really the captain.

Well, since it's Rushi, Xu Ru was not really mad about it.

He walked towards the group where the white-haired elf was standing.

"We meet again, my lovely.  You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you," Xu Ru said while bowing like some kind of noble gentleman.  "This is fate, don't you think?"

Adding this elf to his team would surely be a feast to the eyes.  At least he didn't have to endure looking only at the grim faces of his other team mates.  Having another beauty aside from Qin Rushi surely wouldn't hurt.

Luo Yan felt like all the hairs in his body just stood up.  What lovely?  What more beautiful?  Although he's really that, having another man call him those was still spine-chilling.  Luo Yan was the only one who could call himself that way.

Shen Ji Yun felt the corner of his eye twitched.  His impression of this Alucard just plummeted to the very bottom.  He walked between the two, making sure that he blocked Luo Yan's figure behind him completely.  So that this guy wouldn't be able to stare at him.

He looked up, his gaze as cold and sharp as a winter sea.  "Do you need something from my team mate?"
