Game’s Dogma

Chapter 301: Exposed

Cheers!

A group was bustling about and shouting in the private room, drawing attention from the other diners. Guys subconsciously landed their gazes on Idyllic Poets demonically attractive figure, yet she didnt seem bothered at all as she downed another glass of fragrant liquid.

Ahh! This is nice!

Dumbgirl seemed puzzled at her expression and asked seriously, Big sis Poet, does this drink really taste that good? Can I try it too?

Idyllic Poet lightly knocked Dumbgirls head and said, Your master told me to look after you. If he knew I gave you alcohol, hed kill me!

Big sis Poet, dont knock my head. Ill become dumb, Dumbgirl said with a frown.

Wheres the boss? Why isnt he here? Yim Ho asked.

WindstriderCheung Fung, in real lifesmiled and closed the door to their private room. The boss never joins our offline activities.

Zephyrwolf took out a cigarette and chimed in, Its better that way. We feel more at home without him here.

Before he could light the cigarette, Idyllic Poet glared daggers at him and growled, You dare to smoke when Dumbgirls here? Do you want to get your ass kicked?

Fine, good guys dont fight with women

Sasaki laughed in a befitting manner of the young master of Ki Industries and grinned. Save the act for others, everyone knows you fear nothing but the boss and women.

Zephyrwolf grunted and couldnt refute. After a few drinks, Yim Ho also loosened up and was no longer tense. He scratched his head and asked, Have you guys ever heard of a rumour about the boss?

A rumour?

Ohoho. Yim Ho sounded like bards who spoke of tales in exchange for drinks and meals right now. They say the boss isnt a human! Hes a game master!

Cheh, thought you were gonna tell us something good for once. Zephyrwolf snickered.

Ive also heard it before. The boss is simply overpowered to the point that players cannot even imagine going up against him. Its not like the rumours are baseless too, considering the boss never really goes offline. Its a real mystery, said Windstrider. No matter how realistic Real World is, you still yearn for activities in real life at some point.

Sasaki suddenly pointed out, Wait, Ive seen the boss go offline before.

I know, but it was only for a brief moment. Just once as far as I remember too.

Cut the guesses, Danting interrupted them with a smug look. Did you guys forget already? Ive been following the boss before the game was published. Do you think I wouldnt know whether the boss is a real guy or a virtual game master?

Yim Ho seemed intrigued by Dantings statement and asked, Well, so you know the boss real identity?

Danting replied haughtily, Of course!

Then say it!

The boss wont let me.

Cheh They all sent ridiculing gazes at Danting, the magic swordsman who rocketed into fame in a single fight.

At that moment, Dumbgirl scratched her head and said, I remember papa calling himself Drako Yau. She continued sipping on her juice afterwards.

Danting widened his eyes and rushed over to cover Dumbgirls mouth. You You guys heard nothing!

Yim Ho, Sasaki, and Windstrider had already buried their heads into their phones, completely ignoring Danting. They all gasped after a while.

This guys outrageous Assuming it really is him.

Drako Yau, former chairman of Jubilant Games, the leading game company in the First Eastern City. His father, Yau Ngou Tin, was the one who forged the companys foundations.

Exemplary academic achievements from a young age, studied at the top university in the world, graduated from the Faculty of Programming and Game Design as the top graduate.

He was five years younger than everyone else when he graduated because he was a genius grade skipper. His thesis is considered the gold standard in the gaming industry even now.

Damn Our boss is the real deal.

They were all left speechless. While they already knew their boss was no ordinary person, they still couldnt help but feel their hearts trembling when they realised they were working for a former chairman of a leading listed company in the gaming industry.

The next day, Drako Yau arrived at the conference room of Dragon Alliance to find only his companions present. Danting was looking around nervously and seemed afraid of making eye contact with him.

Sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat odd, Drako Ya asked, Why are you guys standing here instead of levelling up? Is this a rebellion?

They planned on raising hell to figure out their boss identity, but his cold voice struck a heavy blow to their morale. Greenstone was oblivious to their plan because he didnt attend the gathering as well.

After a while, Zephyrwolf lashed out. Are you Drako Yau?

Drako Yau was startled upon hearing the question. He instinctively turned to Danting, who cowered like a rat and quickly shook his head in denial.

It wasnt me! I swear! It was Dumbgirl!

Dumbgirl put on a cute face and asked, Uncle Dan, did you call me?

Drako Yau was the one left speechless this time; he realised what had gone wrong. Yesterday, he had sworn before Hui Chuk with his real nameand Dumbgirl was present. Considering Dumbgirls personality, she didnt spy on him on purpose, but shed naturally blurt his name out whenever someone asked.

It gave him a headache. Although everyone present was trustworthy companions, his current identity made things too complicated to explain with just a few words.

After pondering for a long while, Drako Yau decided to come clean. He had come to certain realisations after yesterdays events. After all, he couldnt do what Tigeroar did. Tigeroar was an extremely calculating person, so much that even his lover didnt know his identity. Drako Yau knew that wasnt something he could pull off even if he wanted to.

I am a Maverick.

The word Maverick broke the awkward silence. For a silent person like Drako Yau to tell everyone his side of the story was no easy task, but he still tried his best nonetheless. He skipped the unimportant parts and went straight to the crucial parts.

However, his unbelievable tale turned his companions into mute statues. They were so stunned they couldnt utter a word, let alone come up with a response.

Not a story or novel, but a real person trapped in a game?

Tigeroar is also a Maverick. On that day, during the quest with only Greenstone and Yim Ho present, Tigeroar died to the mysterious person. Actually, telling all of you this has its benefits. I think youve all felt it already. This game isnt as simple as it seems.

Zephyrwolf, the Vitality Mantra I taught you, youve sensed its effects in the actual world too, dont you?
