Chapter 143: Compromise (7)

The coach's thoughts gradually calmed down. He realized he could exploit Gu Yi for a lifetime.

The evidence of Gu Yi's involvement in fixed matches was firmly in his hands. Selling Gu Yi off in a one-time deal would be like giving away a goose that lays golden eggs to someone else.

He couldn't let go of Gu Yi until he had completely squeezed out all of his value.

With this in mind, the coach suddenly felt at ease. He actually hoped that Gu Yi would deliver another godly performance, securing 20 kills in a game, which would undoubtedly solidify his status as a top-tier player.

"Boss."

"What is it?"

The coach turned around and saw his subordinates bringing Gu Yi's parents over.

They appeared timid and fearful, trembling and unable to speak.

With a sneer, the coach pointed to the audience area and said, "Since they're here, take good care of them. Make sure they're comfortable in the spectator seats. Keep a close eye on them."

"Understood."

The third match was the decisive game for Gu Yi's team.

Gu Yi was already fully aware of the opponent's tactics and movements, even remembering the exact timing of their last hits. This allowed him to make advanced tactical preparations.

Now, Gu Yi's teammates were thoroughly ignited with passion, each bringing their utmost focus to the game.

The camera focused on Gu Yi's character in the game.

He was seen dancing on his lane, seemingly taunting the opponent.

"Hey, why is this top laner dancing?"

"You don't get it, this is psychological warfare."

The commentators didn't understand Gu Yi's intentions, but the opposing top laner did.

He put down his mouse and glanced at Gu Yi across the lane.

Gu Yi, sensing the moment, immediately used his psychological suggestion on the opposing top laner.

"Huh?"

The opponent loosened his grip on the mouse, and Gu Yi did the same.

"What's wrong?"

"Gu Yi is asking us for help."

"Help?"

"Haven't you heard? About Gu Yi's team being involved in fixed matches."

"Damn, playing a rigged match and they still beat us this bad? Last game, he beat you so badly you were afraid to leave your tower."

"That's why it's so dangerous!" the top lane player said excitedly. "They must be threatened to play fixed matches, but Gu Yi and his team refuse to throw the game. Instead, they're playing with all their might."

"Is that really it?"

"Gu Yi keeps dancing, it's an SOS signal, he's asking for our help."

"That does seem true..."

"Let's pause the match and call the police right away."

The top laner pressed the pause button for the match and ran into the resting room without looking back.

"What are you doing?"

The coach's hands were behind his back as he coldly stared at Gu Yi.

Gu Yi held up the USB drive with a smile, "This drive records all your criminal activities. Next time you chat online, remember to delete the chat history."

The coach slowly approached Gu Yi.

Gu Yi, holding the drive, moved towards the window. "You better not come any closer. The police might arrive at any moment."

"Hmph, you're clearly bluffing." The coach reached the desk, touching the computer. "The computer is still cold. You didn't even turn it on. How did you gather any evidence?"

"Gathering evidence against you doesn't require turning on a computer. I forgot to mention, I'm not just an Esports player, but also a hacker. While you were on the phone with your subordinate, I already collected all the evidence."

"That's impossible..."

The coach's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He was confident in his security measures, believing it impossible for Gu Yi to easily obtain evidence of his crimes.

"Don't be so quick to deny it, coach," Gu Yi said with a smile. "This evidence will be sent to the police in one minute. If you let me and my family go, I'll destroy this evidence, and I'll continue to play for your team."

The coach's eyes began to blaze with anger.

"You think I'll believe your lies?"

Gu Yi casually raised three fingers, "Three... two... one!"

Just as Gu Yi finished speaking, the coach's phone rang.

A chill ran down his spine. Last time, Gu Yi had similarly predicted that he would receive a text message!

During the matches, Gu Yi always seemed to be one step ahead of his opponents. His almost prophetic actions couldn't just be explained by "exceptional awareness." It was as if he had some sort of omniscient advantage.

What was Gu Yi's deal?

Was he really that calculating?

"Aren't you going to check your phone?"

The coach instinctively pulled out his phone from his pocket. It displayed a call from an unknown number.

"If I were you, I wouldn't answer that. It's probably the police," Gu Yi said with a smile. "You still have time to run."

"Playing tricks..."

The coach, paranoid and hesitant, didn't dare to answer the call. He pulled out a dagger from behind, glaring at Gu Yi with a mix of ferocity and fear.

Gu Yi smirked, reading panic and shock in the coach's eyes. He knew this was the perfect moment to use his ability. Counting down to three silently in his mind, he deployed his skill on the coach.

"Come on, if you dare, kill me."

Gu Yi ignited the coach's murderous intent!

The coach, holding the dagger, charged at Gu Yi.

"Left!"

"Right!"

"Middle!"

Gu Yi could predict the coach's every move, further fueling his rage.

"Die!"

The coach, gripping the dagger downwards, lunged at Gu Yi's head.
