Volume 1: Dance of the Black Dragon Chapter 34: The Dagger Revealed
(Okay, I’ll just hold on for a few more days. When everyone is almost done with it, I’ll take the brothers I transferred here and return to the Dark Dragon’s Nest.)
Sitting in the gloomy and dark conference hall, listening to the black dragon lords arguing and roaring at each other, Murphy couldn't help but think in his heart.
He had no interest in the argument that was doomed to produce no results, and just read the comments out of boredom.
[Brother Long, what are you waiting for? Shouldn't you take the initiative to volunteer now? ]
[Yes, yes, hurry up and start a dragon disaster. The monsters will attack the city. We agreed on this before.]
[That's what I'm saying. It's been so many times, why don't you send monsters to attack the city and start the dragon disaster? Don't just talk and don't practice.]
[I strongly suspect that Brother Long is just trying to fool us.]
[I find that these black dragon lords have no courage at all, they are just good at talking big. ]
[Brother Long, you are not a coward, right? You failed at the critical moment. You black dragon lords are such a loser.]
Murphy was speechless when he saw the rows of comments complaining about the incident. He thought to himself, you guys are really just looking for trouble. How could I possibly use my account worth more than 10 million to just waste money? You guys are happy that I lost the money, but I'm not that stupid.
But it’s not easy to say that, after all, I was just bragging.
(Hehe, you tiny mortals, you don't understand the art of power at all), an impromptu line flashed through my mind, but I didn't dare to really read it out loud. Since I'm in the wrong, I'd better not look for trouble now.
After the meeting was finally over, Murphy returned to his dragon cave and logged off.
Taking off his helmet, Murphy thought that these guys were becoming increasingly difficult to fool, and he had to get away quickly tomorrow.
Seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, Murphy was about to go home. As soon as he opened the door, he found his supervisor waiting in the corridor outside.
"Murphy, come with me." The supervisor said expressionlessly.
Murphy's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that things were not going well. However, good fortune comes with luck, and disaster cannot be avoided. He followed his supervisor into an office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Ziheng sitting on the sofa, with a document on the table and a lawyer from the company sitting next to him.
His heart sank, and he instinctively felt that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, when he saw the two people walk in, Wang Ziheng looked at him seriously.
"Please take a seat." He pointed to the chair opposite.
At this point, Mo Fei relaxed and sat down , asking calmly, "What's the matter, Young Master?"
Wang Ziheng didn't say anything, but the lawyer spoke first.
“Mr. Murphy, I regret to inform you that you openly displayed bloody and violent game scenes during the live broadcast, which was a horrific and horrific act, causing psychological discomfort to a large number of viewers and causing great damage to the company’s image and reputation.
Because your behavior seriously violated the company's regulations and the relevant terms of the contract originally signed, the company's management has unanimously decided to file a lawsuit against you after discussion. You need to pay 27.5 million in compensation and liquidated damages to compensate for the damage to the company's reputation."
After listening to what the lawyer said, Murphy's first reaction was not anger, but absurdity. What a joke, 27.5 million, bloody and violent scenes, horrific terrorist acts. He is just a game anchor. What kind of terrorist acts could he do?
"What did I do?" he asked with a sneer.
"You are a cannibal." The lawyer replied seriously .
Cannibalism? Murphy was speechless. What the hell was going on here?
"To be precise, the act of cannibalism was openly displayed during the live broadcast of the game."
Wang Ziheng waved his hand, and the supervisor immediately placed a laptop on the desk and clicked to play a video. The video showed the battle between the Black Dragon Lord Morpheus and the adventurers.
A black dragon swooped down from the sky. A human warrior leaped into the air, wanting to attack the black dragon head-on, but the black dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the human warrior in one gulp.
"You see, I didn't wrong you—you ate people, and more than once."
The supervisor continued to switch videos, "And this, this is what you left during the live broadcast last month. And the month before last, on the 9th of this month, you ate three people in one day."
Watching the close-up images of black dragons eating people constantly switching, some of which even had bloody special effects, it looked horrifying, and Murphy was simply unable to complain.
He had imagined the troubles he might encounter, but he never expected the reason to be so absurd.
This guy really is someone who can find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.
Murphy sneered, "This is a skill in the game, called Devour. Many super-large bosses have this skill, and I'm not the only one who has broadcast it live. This is a game thing, how can it be considered cannibalism? Besides the scene is not bloody."
“Is this also a game skill?”
The supervisor placed the notebook in front of him and played a video, which was the scene where the black dragon Morpheus tore the Sword of Dawn into pieces.
That was the battle he was most proud of, but now it has become evidence to accuse him.
To be honest, this part does look a bit brutal, but if you ask me how serious the impact is, Murphy would never believe it. Sky World itself is a very realistic game, and the bloody and violent scenes that have appeared during the live broadcast can be said to be staged every day. But I don’t know if it’s because the background of the production company of this game is too powerful, or for some other reason, but so far, I haven’t heard of any anchor being banned because of the bloody and brutal game scenes.
Even the authorities seemed to have chosen to turn a blind eye.
Besides, even if something really happened, it happened many days ago. There was no movement for so many days, and it suddenly happened today. This is a fucking lie.
“Isn’t this a mosaic?”
"That's right, but it still creates a huge negative association for the audience, and now someone has reported it, which has caused a lot of trouble for the company, and the company's image has also suffered invisible damage, so someone must take responsibility."
Wang Ziheng said this with a very smug expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, Murphy. Actually, I admire you, but business is business. As the manager of Xingyao Live, I must be responsible for the company, so I must handle things impartially."
Murphy's anger suddenly came out, "Fuck you, you just want to mess with me, don't you?"
Wang Ziheng's face changed and he was obviously a little angry.
The supervisor came over hurriedly to smooth things over. He picked up the document on the table and handed it to Murphy.
"Don't be so angry, Mo Fei. We don't want things to come to this point, but rules are rules. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. Of course, President Wang is not an unreasonable person. Since we are all old friends, we will definitely not leave you a way out. So I drafted an internal punishment agreement as a punishment for your violation of company regulations and contract labor. Your game account and game character will be reclaimed by the company to compensate for the damage you have caused to the company.
In this way, your fines and other things can be waived. This is the best option for the company and you. Don’t you want to take a rest? Starting tomorrow you don’t have to come to work and can recuperate at home for a while.
Of course, if you still want to work for the company in the future, we can still cooperate."
Murphy sneered. It turned out that he was waiting for him here. He really put a lot of thought into it.
Is all this just for his own game account? He was originally considering whether to test the waters. If the company really wants this account, it is possible to negotiate as long as the price is right.
I didn't expect that they would take direct action.
The lawyer at the side said proudly: "What do you think, Mr. Mo, you should sign it. As long as you sign this agreement, your breach of contract compensation will be written off. Otherwise, once the lawsuit is brought, with our Xingyao legal team, you will definitely not have a chance of winning.
By then, your family assets will not be enough to compensate you. Not only will you lose your game account, but all the money you have earned in the past few years will also be lost, and you may even be left with a lot of debt. Why bother? "
Murphy ignored the lawyer beside him and stared at Wang Ziheng. "Are you really going to go that far?"
Wang Ziheng forced a smile. "How can you say that? I am also following the rules. That's what the law stipulates, and that's what the contract says. Mr. Mo Fei also signed the contract voluntarily. Everything is reasonable and legal. It seems that Mr. Mo doesn't know enough about the law. He should read more about the relevant legal knowledge."
Looking at Wang Ziheng's serious expression, Mo Fei felt a fire burning in his heart. The trance-like feeling he had in the game reappeared, and it was even stronger...
The bloodthirsty impulse hit his reason, and the desire to kill made his fingers tremble slightly.
However, his face was unusually calm. "Okay, I'll sign. Do you have a pen?"
This was completely unexpected for everyone. The supervisor felt relieved, the lawyer looked as if he had expected it, and Wang Ziheng also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time he had done such a thing, and he felt a little guilty, but it seemed that the plan was a success.
Then he showed a confident expression, as if he had already expected this result.
He took out a pen and handed it over, "Use this."
Murphy took the pen and took a look. It was actually a gold pen. The gold-plated pen tip gleamed coldly under the light, just like the sharp edge of the Dragon Slaying Sword in the game. Murphy stared at the pen tip for several seconds.
The supervisor seemed to sense something and was about to say something when Murphy suddenly flipped sideways over the desk and instantly appeared in front of Wang Ziheng. Before Wang Ziheng could react, Murphy's hand had already grabbed his neck.
Wang Ziheng still wanted to resist, but Murphy's strength was so great that he lifted him up with one hand and stabbed the tip of the pen directly into his neck.
