War Online - Chapter 397: Riled up by toxic comments

“So, what are your plans today? Get back to gaming?” Scarlet asked Wil while they were having Ramen together. Before Wil replied, she clarified her statement, thinking that he might misunderstand her words, “I mean I need to meet Rey’s Homeroom teacher after the school timings. I guess it might be because he was absent for a week without taking permission, ya know.

If I and Rey stay there, Mia will be alone. This city is new for her. If there’s no important business in the evening, I will drop you at her school. You just need to accompany her to return home.” Worrying about rejection, she added in the end, “It’s alright if you can’t make it. I can ask Scott to return early and pick her up or I can just take her with me to Rey’s school or maybe…”

“You don’t need to drop me.” Wil interrupted her before she makes him even more pathetic, telling him various solutions as if his playing time is more important than Mia. “I have a car and driving license ya know. You just go to Rey’s school. I’ll go and pick up Mia in the evening.”

“Thank you.” Scarlet felt happy upon hearing it. She thought it will be tougher for Wil to get close to her directly and can only use Mia as a medium to make him a part of her family.

After spending time with him for the past week, she knew that Wil had a soft spot for Mia. Through Silver, she also knew that Scarlet Group bought one-third of the shares in Darwin Institutions along with providing a fat donation. Is it a coincidence that Wil happens to buy shares of an institution where Mia is studying? Of course, she doesn’t believe in such coincidences.

And now that her gamble paid off, Scarlet planned to make Wil pick his siblings every day, so that, he gets to bond with the family.

*Slurp*

“Thank you for the food.” After a while, as Wil finished, he took them towards the basin to wash it but his mother stopped it and told him that he doesn’t need to do that.

As it is already crossed 5:30, Wil hurried outside for a walk to digest his stomach that was too full. Putting aside his dislike towards his mother, he liked the taste.

He was walking on the pavement while opening the forums on his mobile phone. More than Llyne, he was interested in the development between Reverie and Searvale.

A video that wasn’t uploaded by the official Summersoft account was trending in the forums.

It is focused on a battlefield where thousands gathered but the viewing angle is from above. “Again?” It remembered him of his battle against Rikilda when he was taking over the kingdom.

Despite a ban on flying within the premises of a city, there was a video shot from above and coincidentally, the uploaded user was also the same.

“I was not sure before but now, it is confirmed. The Drone technology must have been received from a hidden quest as making them at this stage is impossible. 

And with how this person doesn’t dare to shoot in different angles and just zooms instead of getting near, either he/she must be worried about damaging it or doesn’t want others to know of its existence. Must be the latter…”

With nice edits and the help of background commentary, it became easier for the viewers to understand the situation.

After watching the whole video, he went to the comment section.

Some people started to badmouth Crimson Sun (Bran) and some fans are defending him.

Angon Rider: What a coward.

Stream Elements: Crimson Sun runs away with tail in his legs. Hahaha…

Faction King: Crimson Sun is a black spot on manhood.

Lady Yue: Faction King, are you looking down on girls? Do you dare to battle me 1vs1?

Faction King: Sure, why not. Come to the battle arena. I’ll show you who the boss is.

Amaretto: Faction King, aren’t you too shameless? You are level-243 and she’s 187. Will you dare battle in a fixed mode, the one?

Agitator: Crimson Sun knew that he can’t defeat Siren. So, he ran away. And he wants to battle the One? Dream on…

Arsenic Role: Please, it’s called strategy. Siren wasn’t of any importance to Crimson Sun. His goal is to liberate Reverie.

Flagship Property: That’s right. Everything’s fair in love and war.

While the netizens are fighting each other on who is better, suddenly, The Time Traveler’s fan club joined them, triggering the other fan clubs. The comment section was soon thrown into chaos. Along with the praises, Wil could see a number of insults aimed at him.

Annihilator: He’s just all money.

Onscreen Prompts: He spent a large amount of money buying the best equipment, best skill books, and best mount. If I have those, even I could kill a level-500.

Faction King: If Time Traveler and ‘One’ play 1vs 1 in a fixed mode, the latter wins easily.

Flagship property: Our Crimson Sun would also sweep him off the floor.

Sidewalk Enforcer: Anyone with mouths can trash talk. Actual results matter. Even when ‘One’ has a higher level, he was soundly defeated by Time Traveler during WBT.

Cool Iris: If your One and Crimson Sun have the guts, then, tell them to challenge our Time Traveler. Even if both of them came along, they will be killed in one blow. Just his clone is enough for those two.

Delivery Boy: And where is Time Traveler now? I heard that Llyne is ruled by the Supreme Commander. Either he was afraid of challenges from other players or he doesn’t know how to rule.

Cobra Bite: I heard that he was a lackey of Scarlet Group’s Chairman. That’s why the guild was named Scarlet at first but due to some reasons, it was changed to Vulture.

Agitator: That’s right. All of his money and items come from the Scarlet group. He himself is just a puppet and nothing special.

Eventually, the latter half of the comment section is replaced from Siren vs Crimson Sun towards Wil vs the other top players.

“Bran is better than me?” Wil didn’t care much less about those insults as they are too common. However, when he saw people are praising Bran and ridiculing him, he was riled up. “If not for my mission at the Dragon Island… Fuu…”

Taking a deep breath, he made a resolve to take care of Bran once in for all, “Now that the new Queen herself comes into the open and Bran took back the Reverie kingdom, it’s probably the best chance for my Vulture guild to formally enter their battle. In return, I will not only claim a few territories but also blacklist him and destroy his guild. Hmm, maybe, I can recruit Sierra…”

Wil went into a daze for a second, thinking of his crush’s beautiful figure that was etched in his mind for several years. He quickly slapped himself on the cheeks and shook his head, “Wil, you are about to get engaged officially. What are you thinking of such bulls*it.” He threw those thoughts away and continued to walk.
