Chapter 141: Chapter 141 – Breeze’s Stance [1]

Two hours had passed since they watched NightyThief's video. Lunchtime had arrived, so they took a break first and ordered lunch.

While waiting, Max recounted some of the videos he watched earlier.

"I didn't think that half of them were just funny videos, hahaha. But the others are pretty good, although no one beats NightyThief's video for now."

"Un, agreed. That's why you stopped scoring them midway, right?"

"It was just too much..." He shrugged his shoulders, "I should just mark whichever looks good. Though I must admit, you guys have a talent for editing. We will continue watching the others after lunch. Man, I am too hungry."

With that, he changed the stream screen into a compilation of the videos he had just watched earlier and muted his microphone.

— Hahaha, I laughed when I saw the video where you slipped. It was part of your Lobby footage

— That was so funny lolol, I subscribed to that channel!

— The way you failed in the footage is so funny. But how could you never fail at the games?

— I must say that I was surprised. I thought you finished your parkour video in one go, and I thought it would take a few takes like that.

— Breeze, who works hard, is nice. I don't understand why people said he abused his position

— For haters, look at his hard work! There is no way someone like him is abusing his position. It must've taken him a lot to get a contract! Don't say he abused his position or got a contract through nepotism!

— Tsk! Those guys never understand people who work hard and only love drama.

And because the video was paused, the chat began to talk about the drama involving him again. It was even more intense than before because the viewers had reached more than 15K, surpassing the highest number ever for this channel.

'It's begun.' Max thought as he saw the chat. 'I will let them talk for now and pretend that I see the video while having lunch. Mr. Taka also has sent me the official statement that Midnight Heist's account plans to post.'

[Mr. Taka: Only show this in your stream. We will post it at 1 PM in Midnight Heist's account. [file.txt]]

That was what he sent. A simple message. But this would turn the situation 180 if released.

"Max."

Lily called out to him as he fell into deep thoughts. He turned toward her, and she continued.

"Can we get noodles for lunch? I... tried and took a liking to the restaurant where you stream before."

"Do you mean Rush Noodle?" He asked.

"Un. I went there with my brother a day after your stream. It was delicious." She said while clasping her hands—a happy smile on her face.

"The waitress was also kind. I requested a new menu, blue noodles, and they tried it. It's too bad that it wasn't fit to enter the menu. According to the waitress, it wasn't up to standard."

Hearing that, Max's smile became strained. He found the culprit behind that strange request that made him vomit in his toilet and upset his stomach for a whole day.

'So she was the cute customer that requested that menu!'

Knowing that didn't change anything, but at least his curiosity was sated.

"What do you want to eat? I will order it to be delivered."

"The green one, with many scallions."

— Finally. What's your stance on that drama, Breeze??

— You can't run anymore now!

— Tell us, why are you abusing your authority?

"Calm down." He said calmly, "And yes, I did watch it earlier with Lily. And to be honest, I haven't heard such bullshit in my life. Nepotism? Abusing my authority? Heh, that was the funniest shit that I have heard since I started streaming."

A smirk appeared on his face as he crossed his legs.

"Let me say this. How can I do nepotism when I have no connection? I started my stream with a VR capsule provided by the government because I was poor. I have no parents, and my only friend is a waitress in her restaurant. I said this not to get your pity, okay?

"And abusing my authority? Was it because I said I would report them to Biozone Entertainment directly? Dude, I don't think you have enough humor. Go and touch the grass. That was obviously a joke, and I only reported them using the in-game feature. I also never told my viewers to report them."

— That's no way

— Huh? Breeze was telling us his past?

— What's the relation of that with abusing your authority? You can be poor and still abuse it!

— I don't think this is the poor man's apartment

— You know what? I don't believe it. The one sitting beside him is Spencer!

"So what if I am a daughter of the Spencer Family? I met Breeze in the park and asked him to teach me wall run."

Lily sounded offended by the last chat.

"And I have no relationship with Biozone Entertainment. What I know about Breeze is that he's kind. He won't abuse anything. My brother once offered something bigger than a Biozone contract, and he refused. He loves streaming, and that's what matters."

Max was a little bit surprised by her statement. That never happened. StoneSword never offered him anything at all. But that was what he needed.

"Calm down, Lily." He whispered. "Let me take care of this."

"But, they–"

"I have this, okay?" He interjected with a smile. Then, he looked at the camera and pointed at the screen showing BearGuy0G's video, "What I said is, this video is bullshit. The trolls were also banned only in Midnight Heist because many people reported them. They weren't banned in other games at all."

— Look at them.

— Maidenless Breeze? Damn! I said that he's not maidenless anymore

— *Whistle whistle* Damn guy! He secretly made a move!

— What are you guys talking about?

[BearGuy0G has donated 500 diamonds!]

[You said I am talking bullshit? You have no proof to back up your statement while I have!]

— Ooh! He appeared!

— BearGuy, told him! This nepotism bastard!

After a while, the video creator appeared. It was what Max had been waiting for.
