Dragon Raja's Number One Player

........................

There were other people here besides myself!

Lin Zhiying was filled with questions and astonishment about how he got here.

But now was not the time to think about that; the next moment, he started moving.

Lin Zhiying rolled to the side, creating distance, accompanied by the chanting of "Word of Power: Lord's Flame."

Two balls of orange flame appeared in his hands, which he then threw out.

His combat experience from his previous life had almost become muscle memory, and all of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye.

"Bang, bang."

The flame he threw was struck from the middle, burned rapidly for a moment, and then exploded into scattered sparks.

As if he had anticipated this, the other party had already aimed at the flames the moment he made his move.

"I surrender!"

Lin Zhiying suddenly stood up, raised his hands high, and spoke in a loud voice.

The flash of light from the explosion illuminated the attacker's face, his sun-kissed hair gleaming in the firelight, and his icy blue eyes held a playful glint.

Caesar Gattuso.

Therefore, Lin Zhiying's surrender was justified; facing one of the main characters, he had no chance of winning.

The opponent's level is at least 50, while he is only level 13.

"Interesting, you do know me."

Caesar readily admitted it, and chuckled softly.

His smile had a magical, infectious quality that made Lin Zhiying feel at ease.

"Damn Xuanyu Company, why did they make the male characters so good-looking?!" Lin Zhiying thought to himself.

No wonder Caesar had quite a few male fans in his previous life; his looks were indeed captivating to both men and women.

"I'll give you five seconds to tell me why you knew where I was."

Caesar's tone was icy, like that of a monarch issuing an ultimatum.

He wasn't holding the iconic pair of golden Desert Eagles.

In his empty hand, his fingers curled up, and he extended his index finger and thumb to make a gun gesture, pointing it at Lin Zhiying's forehead.

It looked like children playing around, but Lin Zhiying couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw it.

Because Junyan's flames were just shattered by this "pistol".

Words of power: a wisp of air.

Along with the Word of Power: Kamaitachi belongs to the King of Sky and Wind. The B-rank Word of Power is a result of the Xuanyu Company's enhancement.

Air bullets fired from compressed air are faster than bullets at close range, but slightly less powerful than armor-piercing bullets. If Lin Zhiying were hit, he would only face certain death.

Was she really going to give her first time to Caesar? Of course, he was referring to death.

Despite all my careful planning, I never expected the NPCs to be so intelligent.

He had only given Caesar information, yet Caesar had tracked him down all the way here, lying in wait for him.

What should I do? How should I explain this to myself?

Does he claim to be a reincarnated person? Or is he just guessing?

Why not just let him kill me once?

However, he hadn't even gotten his Dragon Blood Potion yet, and since half of the items would drop upon death, his trip had been a complete waste.

Besides, no one knows whether Caesar will do it again after killing himself once.

Time passed second by second, and large beads of sweat rolled down Lin Zhiying's forehead.

"It's time. I don't know how you knew, but since you're unwilling to say, then goodbye is the only option."

Caesar's tone carried a hint of regret, as if he had originally harbored some expectation.

His fingers pressed against Lin Zhiying's forehead twitched slightly, and in an instant, compressed air would shoot into his head and pulverize it.

"Chu Zihang, because of Chu Zihang!"

Lin Zhiying shouted at the top of his lungs.

Caesar, standing in the shadows opposite, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then tilted his head: "Continue."

Lin Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet.

But he can't say anything wrong from now on, or he'll be dealt with by Caesar just the same way.

"As you can see, my Word of Power is also Jun Yan. I am Chu Tianjiao's illegitimate son and Chu Zihang's half-brother."

Success or failure hinges on this moment; Lin Zhiying wonders if Caesar can see his expression.

As he said this, he tried his best to recall the melodramatic soap operas he had seen in real life, and made the expression that an illegitimate child should have.

Three parts anger, three parts resentment, three parts regret, and one part faint jealousy.

Caesar, sitting opposite him, did not make any move after hearing what he said.

Just as Lin Zhiying was preparing to be executed, Caesar slowly lowered the finger that was between his eyebrows.

"Just as I thought."

Caesar's brows relaxed, his gaze shifting, mainly settling on Lin Zhiying's undisguised golden eyes.

He listened to Lin Zhiying's heartbeat with the Kamaitachi during his pause.

His heartbeat and expression were normal; he was telling the truth.

If Lin Chih-ying knew that Caesar was thinking this way, she would probably laugh herself to death.

Because every player is a master of acting, their heartbeat and facial expressions can be simulated.

Lin Chih-ying's use of words to manipulate emotions is also strong evidence.

The bloodline of hybrids can be continued. Chu Zihang's Word of Power is Junyan, which means that Chu Tianjiao belongs to the lineage of the King of Bronze and Fire.

Lin Zhiying's Word of Power also belongs to the King of Bronze and Fire, Junyan.

I wonder what Caesar would think if he knew that thousands of players had chosen Junyan as their temporary incantation.

Finally, and most importantly, is what the middle-aged man from the Huanya Group who acted as the doorman said.

Without the first two pieces of evidence, Kamaitachi might have thought the conversation he overheard was just idle chatter.

However, with the first two pieces of evidence, this becomes the finishing touch.

This is the authoritative evidence from Chu Tianjiao's father's colleague back then!

Everyone who has seen Chu Tianjiao says he looks just like him, so how could he be fake?

Moreover, illegitimate children are not uncommon in Italy.

"Then why did you investigate me?"

Caesar's tone and gaze softened, and he looked at Lin Zhiying with more goodwill.

Hearing him say that, Lin Zhiying knew he had made the right bet.

The words of power, the golden eyes, and the corroboration from Chu Tianjiao's colleagues—these three elements mutually confirmed his identity.

"Because of jealousy, of course I'm referring to Chu Zihang, why he gets everything at Kassel College."

"I envy him standing in the spotlight, I envy him becoming the president of the Lionheart Society, and I envy the bond between him and you, even if you are enemies, you are also comrades."

Lin Zhiying became more and more agitated as she spoke, as if she had finally found someone to confide in after years of depression and wanted to pour out all the sorrow in her heart in one breath.

"Bonds".

Caesar pondered the word repeatedly in his mind; it truly was a very good description of his relationship with Chu Zihang.

He didn't dislike Chu Zihang; on the contrary, he admired someone who could be his rival.

Because the sun shines brighter only when the moon is there, isn't it?

"But you are too weak now. You have the power of words but no real strength. Even a hundred of you wouldn't be as good as Chu Zihang."

Caesar's words were very hurtful.

He didn't care about Lin Zhiying's feelings; the only kindness he showed him was because of his questionable status as an illegitimate child.

"Yes, I am weak now, but I will grow stronger. Moreover, the enemy is in the open while I am in the dark. He does not know my identity or existence. This is my greatest advantage."

Lin Zhiying spoke angrily.

His words seemed to express a firm belief in his future power, which Caesar greatly appreciated, and he nodded in approval.

"That's interesting. I'm looking forward to that day when I'll have another competitor."

"I will keep this a secret for you until then. As you said, this is your advantage, and battles between knights should be fair."

Seeing this, Lin Zhiying knew that she had finally gotten away with it. She never expected that she was such a good liar.

I lamented that I shouldn't have stayed at home in real life; if I had been a playboy, I would have already collected a whole deck of cards.

"So, may I have this box?"

Lin Zhiying hadn't forgotten why he came here. He pointed to the silver box on the ground and added, "This is a memento left by my father."

Caesar shrugged, indicating that he could.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiying immediately picked up his box and prepared to leave. With this killer star here, he didn't want to stay any longer.

"Wait, I only said you can open the box, I didn't say you can leave."

Caesar walked up to the pipe and stopped him.

"Open it, it's right here."

"Oh no!" Lin Zhiying thought to himself, "This is bad."

He didn't know the combination to the box.
