Therefore, Thomas drove the two kids to a cybercafé.
As soon as they walked through the door, the manager impatiently said, “Underaged teenagers are not allowed to enter!”
Thomas did not reply to him. He just took out two $100 bills and put them on the table. “We’re here to look for someone. We’ll be out in a minute.”
As long as you had money, everything could be easily settled. The manager put the cash money into his pocket. “Be quick!”
Thomas led Mateo and Aiden as they walked into the cybercafé. Then, they checked out every seat.
Mateo said, “Levant has his own seat. We don’t have to look for him.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net looked at the corner of the cybercafé. A group of people were gathered around and watching someone playing a game. Among them, a haggard-looking man stood out the most. He had dark circles, and his hair was messy. The table was full of cigarettes, and virtual-novel.net was as skinny as a skeleton. He looked like virtual-novel.net was a person who hung out in the cybercafé all the time. Although virtual-novel.net looked haggard, something about virtual-novel.net attracted Thomas’ attention. This young person was very clean!
His hair was messy, but it was the kind of messy that one would get if one did not style one’s hair after washing. Falling asleep directly after would result in various strange hairstyles too, so it was not as dirty and smelly as one would imagine. His clothes were spotless. Although virtual-novel.net wore a pair of slippers, his feet were very fair. The cigarettes on the table had also been neatly placed. From all aspects, this young man seemed carefree, but virtual-novel.net could be tidy at times, so people should not be misled by his appearance.
“Is that person Levant Norris?”
“Yes!” Mateo nodded firmly and said, “He used to be a very famous genius. Supreme Club paid a huge amount of money to recruit him, and as soon as virtual-novel.net joined, virtual-novel.net was given the core position. They established a team for him, but then, virtual-novel.net became worse. Those who were the same age as virtual-novel.net began to surpass him. In the end, Supreme Club demoted him, and virtual-novel.net could not even be a substitute player.”
Thomas subconsciously frowned.
Was this person incapable?
Why should they recruit virtual-novel.net then?
Mateo continued to say, “Everyone thinks that he’s become less capable and that he’s not good enough to be a ‘super genius‘. But, I think he’s hiding his skills on purpose because virtual-novel.net wants to protect himself.”
Thomas asked, “Why do you say so?”
Mateo answered, “First of all, Levant is different from me and Aiden. He doesn’t lack money. His family rents out six houses, so even if virtual-novel.net doesn’t do anything, he’ll still have an income of about $3,000 every month. He doesn’t need to worry about money for his entire life. But he‘s also not very ambitious, and virtual-novel.net doesn’t like trouble. After what happened to my brother, virtual-novel.net hated the kind of environment that Supreme Club offered. So, I think virtual-novel.net purposely hid his skills. That way, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t offend Supreme Club, and virtual-novel.net could also be fired successfully, therefore leaving the environment virtual-novel.net hated.”
“Instead of staying in Supreme Club, virtual-novel.net prefers coming to the cybercafé and playing games.”
After Thomas heard that, virtual-novel.net nodded. He agreed with the explanation.
If Levant was just a normal teenager who was addicted to playing games, it would be impossible for virtual-novel.net to be so clean and tidy. It was different when his family was renting out six houses.
Levant’s family was rich, so it was not strange for virtual-novel.net to be that clean. Perhaps it was related to his upbringing since virtual-novel.net was little.
“Since he’s been hiding his skills, how did you know about it?” Thomas asked again.
Mateo answered, “I didn’t know it at first, but I realized something strange later. Levant played up to one thousand rounds of a game, but the data showed 0-0-0! In each round, virtual-novel.net never killed other players, virtual-novel.net never died, and virtual-novel.net also never provided support.”
