Chapter 62: It’s been so long…
Riley’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, even as the interview and a new program began. The confident smirk on Yano’s face lingered in his mind like an annoying itch, and a frown remained etched on his face.
While he agreed with Yano’s point—that those who hadn’t joined the game yet were definitely missing out—he didn’t feel too comfortable with how fast things were moving in the Noble Lions Guild’s favour.
With this new announcement, most of the new players were sure to seek out Yano and the Noble Lions Guild, hoping to join them.
Most joined for support in the game, hoping to have a powerful force backing them.
But still, there was a good number of people who believed that from the game, they could also curry favour from someone of Yano’s status in real life.
Players like that didn’t take the game seriously, only trying to establish themselves in the real world.
However, the problem Riley had wasn’t just about how big the influence of the guild would be.
He was more worried that they could rise to power a lot faster than in his last life, especially when it was Yano Yeves at the centre of it all.
Riley leaned back slightly, exhaling as he lowered his eyes to the menu in his hand—but he wasn’t reading it anymore.
He knew Yano far too well, at least based on his past life.
Back then, Yano had always been obsessed with one thing—catching up to Terry. Outshining him, surpassing him, proving to everyone that he was the true most powerful player within the game.
