The familiar announcement rang out.
Benny shot up from the couch, his eyes wide in disbelief. “Damn it!”
He swung his Zen staff and lunged forward, but before he could take a step, Wendy spun in the air, landing lightly and bringing her axe down on him. It was over in an instant–he was down.
He was dead! He actually died!
Benny couldn’t believe it. The sudden turn of events caught Stanley’s attention, and he looked over at Benny with a raised eyebrow.
Benny, not one to admit defeat, huffed, [Wendy, let’s go again!]
Wendy agreed, and the second round began.
Just two seconds later, Stanley heard Benny’s voice erupt again, more furious than ever. “Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!”
“Game over.”
Benny had lost again.
Still unwilling to accept it, Benny growled, [Wendy, another round!]
Wendy replied, [Mr. Gondale, you should think about this carefully. If you lose the third round, your rank will drop.]
Benny had always been at the top rank as the champion, but after facing off with Wendy twice, he was about to lose his title. If he lost again, he’d drop all the way to bronze.
Just then, Stanley’s low, magnetic voice rang out. “Benny, what’s with all the fuss?”
Benny suddenly had an idea, and his face lit up like he’d found a savior. He rushed over to Stanley. “Stanley, help me! Play against Wendy for me!”
Stanley glanced at him with mild disinterest. So, Benny was playing against Wendy, huh?
Stanley had noticed Benny’s terrible performance. He barely lasted two seconds when he faced Wendy. Last time, he’d been surprised by Wendy’s speed in the game. It was incredible.
However, Stanley had no intention of playing against her.
The night before, she had left without a word and left a “thank you” note. This morning, she had called and said ” thank you” in person, but then immediately mentioned that she wanted to repay him and asked if he was interested.
It seemed like she saw their relationship as some kind of transaction based on flesh and desire. Did she really think that every time he helped her, it was for that?
Stanley was fully capable of indulging his desires; there were plenty of women in line for him. It wasn’t like he couldn’t get anyone else.
Who did she think she was?
“Stanley, hurry up and play this round! Teach Wendy a lesson!”
Stanley knew she deserved to be taught a lesson.

He took the phone from Benny.
Stanley wasn’t just good at business–he was also a gaming prodigy. He had recognized the potential in the gaming industry years ago and personally developed a few programs, which had made him his first fortune.

As the heir to Hawk Group, he had once dabbled in extreme sports like racing, cruising, and flying. But now, with the family business in his hands, he rarely had time for such things.
This time, he agreed to play, not because he wanted to, but because he was determined to beat Wendy. He wanted to see her humbled.
She had cried last night, and he wanted her to stop. Now, she wasn’t crying anymore, but he felt like making her cry again.
It was a flaw all men seemed to share.
Stanley clicked the screen, starting the third round.
He and Wendy were about to face off.
Benny, feeling confident, cheered, “Stanley, kill her! Knock her out in one blow!”
Stanley wanted to finish Wendy quickly, but he couldn’t.
He paused, waiting for Wendy to make her move. She took Her usual swing with her axe, but this time, he dodged it easily.
He countered with a strike from his Zen staff, but Wendy expertly avoided it.
Stanley hadn’t considered Wendy a real opponent at first, but after a few exchanges, his relaxed expression turnedy serious. He sat up straighter, his focus sharp, his long fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard.
Wendy was fast–she was precise, ruthless. Every move she made was lethal.
Stanley was shocked.
