After taking off the gaming helmet, Lin Jie scanned his surroundings. The new house had brought many things for his family. After they moved, his father and mother went back to the old place often. They had feelings for that place after staying there for so long, and they were used to that environment, which was something hard for them to change.

Through his sister, Lin Jie knew that their parents went back to their old place and did nothing but visiting the neighbors and they visited the bad-tempered landlord once. They would spend lots of time there and only come back to cook when it was almost time to eat.

Lin Jie understood them and took out some money and rent a shop near the old house and the place where his father worked. They started a fruit stall and other than having some customers, they were chatting with the old neighbors most of the time. They had been busy throughout their life, now they had nothing to do and felt uncomfortable about it.

His sister Lin Xiaoxue had nothing to worry about. She could concentrate on Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, she was living in the teachers district together with her former teacher, Zhou Guohong. Wu Jun, the wastrel, could not find the opportunity to bother her.

Lin Jie tidied up his clothes and took a look at the time. It was 5pm His mother had come back from the fruit stall, humming an old song while making nutritional dinner for his sister.

Mom, Im eating outside today.

His mother smiled and asked, With a girl?

Erm guy.

Permission not granted!

Lin Jie rolled his eyes. It is Baili Changcheng, the guy who helped us in the hotel.

Oh, fine. Itd better be a girl next time.

Lin Jie stared and quickly left after putting on his clothes. When he was in high school, the two of them would always complain about he liking a girl as though it was some sort of disaster. But now, they wished he was dating a girl.

It was hard to understand what the older generation was thinking

His phone rang.

Hey. Fu Sheng?

Yes.

Baili Changcheng said in a feeble voice. Where are you?

No.1 Senior High School.

On my way.

Toot Hung up!

It was dismissal time for No. 1 Senior High School. The silent school compound exploded the moment the bell rang. Countless students rushed out of school.

At the same time, a heavy SUV drove slowly and stopped in front of Lin Jie. The window rolled down slowly and revealed the handsome face of Baili Changcheng.

Lin Jie looked at the car. It was a Teana 2.6. A super common SUV at a price of 300,000. It was a cheap car, indeed. Lin Jie would not believe that Jiang Citys Outstanding One, the successor of the energy company, would be in the car until he saw Baili Changcheng.

Baili took off his sunglasses and smiled. Nice place.

Lin Jie smiled and said, Well, if you think it was good, then come down.

Sure. Baili opened the door. He was wearing a smart black leather short sleeves and a casual pair of jeans. He was tall and fashionable. This guy satisfied all the characteristics of campus beau: tall, rich, handsome!

The moment he appeared, he had caught the attention of many female students. The face like an idol was a killer to these teenage girls!

Lin Jie was in a very awkward situation

Bro!

Lin Xiaoxue run into Lin Jies arm with her bag on her shoulder. Are you here to pick me up?

Lin Jie rubbed her on the head and said, Im busy with something, you go home first.

Oh Xiaoxue blinked her eyes and stared at Baili Changcheng. She shook her head and said, Too handsome, very insecure.

Baili Changcheng was speechless

Im leaving! Xiaoxue waved her hands and ran back home.

Baili coughed and picked up a leather bag and walked into the school with Lin Jie.

How long would it take for a high school that was in an uproar to settle down? Less than 10 minutes.

In just 10 minutes, 90% of the students had left the school compound. The school was silent again. Lin Jie and Baili walked around the lake in the school, and both of them were quite. They came to the basketball court.

Several boys were having a basketball match. Lin Jie pointed at the spectator seat and sat down. Baili took down his bag and unzipped it. A jet of frost gushed out of the bag.

Here. He took out an iced beer.

Lin Jie took it and shook his head in shock. The rich person was indeed different from the others, even a school bag was like a freezer.

Erm I forgot to bring the opener, said Baili Changcheng awkwardly as he took out his beer.

Lin Jie took the bottle over and opened it with his teeth. They hit the bottles and gulped down a mouthful and burped at the same time.

An iced beer in the summer was a great pleasure.

Im very unhappy. Baili Changcheng took out another bottle and tried to open it like Lin Jie but failed. He handed the drink awkwardly to Lin Jie and drank another mouthful. I was scolded by that guy again.

Lin Jie blinked. Who?

He is my uncle. I told you before, he taught me much stuff. But he would always scold me and call me names in a calm voice when he was unhappy since my childhood.

Lin Jie was shocked. What kind of man was that? Just think about it. How creepy it was for a normal man to use a normal tone to swear and curse. It was just terrifying.

But I have some information, said Baili. He entered the game indeed, and he has some sort of connections with some guilds. I am working on the information of these guilds.

Lin Jies eyes blinked his eyes and asked, Whats his name?

Baili Xuanyuan.

Lin Jie was shocked and took a deep breath before continuing. He had the same name in the game?

Yea. Baili Changcheng nodded. Its our tradition to not change our name in whatever we do. Kind of pedantic, but we really follow it.

Lin Jie understood. It meant that the old guy who just refused to invest any money from the family to the game was Baili Xuanyuan for sure. That being said, he realized he was the reason Baili Changcheng was scolded this time.

No wonder Baili Xuanyuan did not make a fuss in the game. He had his stress released somewhere else.

I can tell you part of the information. Lin Jie thought about it and said in a calm voice. Baili Xuanyuan, level 18. Nah, he should be level 17 now. He had a set of very expensive equipment, probably even comparable to you. He was in charge of the Mage Heavens. This is a guild that is more powerful than you thought. If Im correct, Mage Heavens has connections with Kingdom of Glory and Dark-Robed Knights and wants to form a terrifying alliance with the three of them!

Baili Changcheng was taken aback. That is not possible! He was the one that strongly against the investment in the game! For what reason would he do that?

Lin Jies eyes blinked and said seriously, Baili, how could you not know the influential power of The New Age? Lets put other things aside if your rival companies got benefits from The New Age, would you stand aside and watch? Its just a matter of time before you jumped right into it!

Since its just a matter of time, then your company would need a guide, or to be more specific, a guild or power thats worth their investment. Is there anything better than his own people?

So what you are saying is Baili Changcheng swallowed and looked at Lin Jie in shock.

Lin Jie nodded and said, He needs to build a powerful force so that he can have control over the money that the company invests in the game.

Baili Changchengs pupils constricted, and he took a drink. The chilling alcohol ran through his body, and his mind was quickly calmed down. A moment later, he closed his eyes and said, Yes, that is the kind of man he is! I have to stop him!

Stop? asked Lin Jie.

Yes, stop. He is just my uncle instead of my family. The company can be decentralized, but never the opposite! If he were to rule The New Age, when he invested enough money, he would have ruled in real life too! Baili Changcheng stood up out of sudden and said, I have to stop him!

Brother! You will help me, right? Tell me, you will! Baili Changchengs eyes were glaring with emotion as he looked at Lin Jie. You created Brotherhood, and I can help you in whatever way I can. And youll just have to stand up for me when I need you! There is no need for a contract between us, just this pact we made. What do you say?

Lin Jie was having mixed feelings and started to think. This was unlike working with Zheng Ziliang. Baili Changcheng was the one that ruined his family in his previous life. What about now?

After a while, Lin Jie nodded. Sure! Ill gladly help you if you need Brotherhood.

Hahaha, great! Then Ill be in Savage Blade officially. I believe the team needs a handsome and skillful Elemental Sword Artist like me. Ill buy part of the shares using 3 million dollars. Just give me a Legend position.

Lin Jie raised his beer bottle and said, Nice working with you!

Same here! Baili Changcheng raised his bottle too.

The alliance was made!

Kuang!

The bottles were shattered because of the powerful toast they gave each other. Their smiling faces were reflected on the shards

After a few minutes, Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng escaped the basketball court. A cleaning aunty was chasing them with a broom. Dont you dare litter again! Ill report you two to the discipline master!
