"Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist—"
Leaving these words behind, Fang Hong didn't bother to continue wasting words with these people. He had actually anticipated this outcome long ago, but unfortunately, Sophie did not comprehend the meaning of his question at that time. The Princess of Silver Weslan merely thought he was naïve and stubborn, but in truth, from the night of the Morning Dawn Star.
His heart had long ceased to be simple.
Fang Hong had barely taken two steps when suddenly he heard a gentle applause coming from behind:
"Clap, clap—"
He turned back to see that it was indeed Luo Hao applauding. This chubby guy, for some unknown reason, hoisted his shield and approached, giving him a thumbs up and saying: "Well said!"
Fang Hong looked at him with surprise.
Only then did Luo Hao look forward: "To be honest, I always thought you were somewhat idealistic. But I didn't expect that we are actually alike—"
He sighed: "Perhaps you don't know, before coming here, I was also a hot-blooded fan of Super Competitive. I even saw you once at a match in Elpaxin. Speaking of which, I used to be a supporter of BBK, although back then I was just a keyboard master—"
"But actually, others are not as clear in their hearts as I am, that Super Competitive, especially domestic Super Competitive, has been stagnating for many years. They thought the failure in the Murky Domain was due to the retirement of veterans and the incompetence of newcomers. But in fact, signs of this have been apparent for years—the emerging generation of major guilds primarily rises through hype, gathering fans by attracting attention."
"To put it bluntly, even the Princess of Silver Weslan is about the same. Of course, Silver Weslan is still slightly better, Miss Sophie does have skills. Naturally, it's not their fault; driven by interests, and with someone fueling the flames behind the scenes, their choice is understandable."
"I've seen all of this with my own eyes."
"The overall decline of Super Competitive is also obvious to everyone."
Luo Hao looked at Fang Hong, a bit sincerely, "But I never expected anyone to say it so openly and clearly, especially in the presence of alliance officials. Ha, it's really satisfying, Captain, from now on, I'll follow your lead." He patted his chest, "Don't be fooled by my appearance, I'm quite a celebrity in the community."
As they talked, they walked forward.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu and the others glanced at the group of the Descendants of Flor, said nothing more, and just turned to follow.
The young man was left watching this scene with a face changing from pale to bright. He turned back and said to the other two: "It's fine if these people don't grow up, but if they grow up to be like Loofah, they'll surely become another Regicide or Twilight Executioner."
"There are many such people," he said bitterly, "If this sets an example, who knows what chaos will ensue later."
The higher-ups of the Descendants of Flor remained silent.
The Super Competitive League official nodded: "Indeed, the alliance's restrictions on the Invokers have been too lax. But the establishment of the alliance itself is meant to constrain the Invokers' actions, and at this rate, it will indeed set a bad example. However, to change the rules again now may encounter great resistance..."
"At least we should restrict these people."
"Whether it's Loofah or this guy, without resources, let's see how high and mighty they can be?" The young man gritted his teeth, "What nonsense about the spirit of exploration, can the spirit of exploration bring rewards? We're still reporting back high-dimensional information to Earth in an orderly manner, which is much better than their disruptive behavior?"
This statement.
Made the two nod in unison.
