2024-02-16 18:30:42In the end, Alfie used a high mobility Assassin hero named Haleth, armed with a dual short blade colored red. For this match, Haze also used a Support hero named Virtheon, who specialized in healing magic but had very little damage.
Haze's pick wasn't as surprising because he used Support for the second match and won. However, the spectators were curious about how he'd fare against last year's champion for all the big talk he did earlier.
Haze went to the bottom lane in the first three minutes to increase his Exp. He didn't care that Heaven's Edge had already razed the mid-lane and destroyed two defense towers. Although, even if he wanted to, he couldn't help Troy and Alfie in the mid-lane because he was busy evading Osieck's attack.
Haze called Alfie to the bottom lane in the fourth minute once Haleth's skills were unlocked. They ganged Osieck's Firiel when Heaven's Edge's other players were busy farming to level up and went toe to toe. At one point, Haze's Vir

Haze started the day with apparent smugness. Elaine was across the dining table. He had ordered her to eat there with him, claiming it was the least she could do after he had spectacularly signed a three-year contract with Red Riot Beverage. Also, he wanted to see the defeated look on her face after he had proven himself yesterday. “Shut up.” He frowned, “I didn’t say anything.” “Your face is telling enough,” she grumbled. “Don’t get carried away after one little success.” “Hey, that’s two million worth of contract I got. Surely it wasn’t little.” “I said what I said.” Haze leered at her, “You know, a little congratulation would sound nice.” “Eat shit.” “What did you say?!” Haze gasped. “What a foul thing to say for that big talk of ‘Cassius never curse’ thing you go on and on.” Face flaming red, Elaine finished her breakfast and left to the kitchen. “You’re mad?” Haze teased, following her to th
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 19. The Truth Behind Cassius’ Death
“I have to tell father,” the sharp-eyed Maxine was about to leave Haze’s study room.“Max, wait!” Elaine halted her and tried to reason, “Who told you about Cassius’s death.”“What does it matter?”“Because,” the brunette glanced at Haze, who now cupped his palm against the newest bruise on his face, “If what he said is true, then Mr. Blackwood would have already known about it.”“Are you saying that my father lied about my brother’s death?” Maxine sneered at the assistant’s guess. “He might be harsh, but he wouldn’t lie about his own son’s death.”“That’s not what I mean,” Elaine argued in a softer tone, “I want to believe Cassius died in a single car accident too, but this is just strange. As you said earlier, it’s just too much of a coincidence with….” She glanced at Haze a
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 20. Facing Past Mistake
Haze and the two girls who hated his gut arrived at Walemount in the early afternoon. It was the city where he grew up with his mother, before she passed away a few years ago. He liked this city much, from its green environment and easy public access.However, being here reminded him of the people who hurt him just a few weeks ago.This was the city where Vicky Turner and Derek Philips lived, the ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, and the former best friend who beat him for money. This was the city where Haze Wilburn died and never walked the Earth again.He chuckled at the bitter memory, at the biggest betrayal the closest people to him ever did."So, who are we meeting?" the sharp-eyed Maxine asked from the shotgun seat.A frown formed on his face, thinking he should be sitting there, instead of suffering in the back seat all by himself. In turn, he glared at Elaine, who refused to let him drive, reminding him that the last time he was driving, so
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 21. The Ghost Who Come to Drag Him to Hell
"What do you want from me?" Derek asked through gritted teeth, keeping his emotion in check, or they'd call the law enforcer."We just want Haze's death certificate and all of his medical reports."Derek laughed at that. "Why do you think I have them?""You were his best friend–""Best friend? If he wasn't dead already, I'd kill him myself for even thinking we're close! That damned egoist bastard cost me everything! He failed me when I needed him the most! Because of him, my investor withdrew and my company went bankrupt! He ruined everything!"The electricity in Derek's apartment unit suddenly went out and–Bam!The front door opened harshly, revealing a figure standing in the middle. The light from the corridor made it so that only the figure's silhouette was visible, telling him it was a male."Who is there?!" Derek shouted, making both girls look towards the front door over their shoulders. He frantically search
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 22. Crazy Ex-girlfriend
Haze and the girls’ next destination was his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. It was located about half an hour from Derek’s place.After a quick scroll through Vicky’s social media posts, Haze found out that her relationship with the vile young CEO, Kain, had developed into something more than a fling. He even appeared in all of her recent posts.Haze scoffed as he read the thirst comments on one of her posts. It showed Vicky and her new boyfriend lazing on a beach like there was nothing wrong with it.In the fabricated truth created by Leonard Blackwood, Vicky should still mourn for Haze’s death. But only a few people knew about their relationship.He remembered the first time they met. In the subway station restroom, Haze heard a banging sound. When he searched for it, he found the source came from the female restroom. It was late at night, so no one else was around the area, leaving only him to look for the cause.When h
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 23. Waking Nightmare
Vicky opened her apartment door and switched on the lights. She frowned when it merely flickered several times before completely going dark.“Great, now I have to call someone to fix it,” she grumbled and closed the door behind her.It annoyed her, but a glimpse of the rose diamond on her finger obliterated it immediately. “Ah, I can’t believe this is happening to me. I will marry Kain, and everyone will be jealous of me!”After lying on the red couch in the living room, Vicky called the landlord and reported that her electricity was out. The landlord would send someone to fix it later tonight because, apparently, only her unit was dark.Vicky was about to post the picture of her rose diamond ring when she heard something from the kitchen. She frowned and turned on her phone’s flashlight, walking on her tippy toes as fear slowly crept into her veins.Thud!The sound came from the closed bathroom, just on t
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 24. Fabricated Lies in the Morgue
The files were carefully spread on the desk, showing a tale of lies deliberately made by one person.James Frank, the attending physician and doctor who declared Cassius Blackwood’s death, was none other than Leonard’s little doll. He went with whatever the Blackwood patriarch ordered, including falsifying one important heir of a multibillion company’s death like it was child's play.“Death caused by suffocation,” Maxine read the file, frowning at the crude lie. “It really said that. No mention of poison or internal damage. Only death by suffocation.”The three of them were equally infuriated, especially Haze. He was there when everything happened without a warning, and his life drastically changed. Maybe for the better, but who knows, right?After another look into the death certificate and medical report from the hospital, they were certain of one thing. Leonard consciously hid the fact that Cassius died of pois
The Billionaire Heir's Replacement 25. Prescription for Truth
Today, Haze and Elaine headed to Grand Meadow Hospital, where Cassius was proclaimed dead.Despite his clear protest, Maxine coerced him into letting her tag along. If the bruise on his face wasn’t hurting, he would do anything to prevent her going with them. Unfortunately, her lethal fist left a painful memory in its wake.Once they arrived at the hospital, Haze already donned a disguise. It was nothing special, but Elaine turned out to be very capable with a set of make up in her hands. She managed to make him appear different with a blond bleached hair and eyeshadows. The makeup also served a purpose to hide the proof of Maxine’s physical attack.All in all, dressed in a black tee, ripped jeans, and combat boots made Haze look like a rocker losing his way in the hospital. Not one or two, but almost everyone they passed in the lobby stared at him.Haze tried to hide his uneasiness. “Okay, you know what? I think this only makes me stand

117. Later, When We Meet Again
Thud!The sharp end of the blade went through the meeting table, barely leaving three inches distance from Leonard’s face. It was enough for him to see and imagine how it’d be if Haze was not as benevolent.“I can never forgive you for what you did to me all those years ago, nor for what you put Cassius through in my absence.” Haze told his father, undignified under his mercy. “But I can never see your face again. Not even hearing your name. So why don’t you rot in prison for me, hmm?”And then, as if on cue, the door to the meeting room once again opened. Four people in uniform and one in a trench coat appeared.“Mr. Leonard Blackwood,” the leader of the bunch showed his police ID, “You are under investigation for child abuse, domestic violence, and murder cases. Can you come with us to the station for a statement?”Haze let go of the sword, but didn’t step back from Leonard&r

116. The Guilty Verdict
“What’s that about?” Valentine was the one to break the silence in the meeting room.No one didn’t dare to ask aloud like her, seeing as she was Jonathan’s favourite daughter, and yet, she was nothing in his eyes also. Let alone the others.However, instead of being cryptic, Jonathan looked at Leonard and dared him with a question. “Don’t you have anything to say?”Another silence in the room, but then Leonard tapped his fingers on the table and answered, “That is the poison that Samuel used.”“Are we talking about beauty or an anti-aging potion here?”“No.”Valentine furrowed her brow, “Then? What does Samuel use that poison for? Killing someone?”Again, Leonard went silent.In turn, it was Charles who chuckled with amusement in his eyes. “Don’t tell me that pussy brother of ours really went for it?”When Le

115. The Inheritances
It was almost nine when Jonathan finally emerged back into the dining slash meeting room. There was a renewed strength in the way he walked and held himself, as if the bald assistant gave him a shot of adrenaline that made him forget the illness and fatigue.Although, Haze knew it wasn’t the case.“Now, let’s talk about what you all want.” Jonathan smiled as he sat at the head of the table, resuming his almighty authority in this magnificent house.Several ears perked up hearing about the honest statement. Shamelessly, some of them even smiled with a smug face, already imagining the trillion inheritance that would fall on their open arms. Modestly, a few of them managed to hide the obliviousness of their greed.Like always, Leonard didn’t let that remark bother his impassive expression. He made sure to stay calm, composed at the face of his earthly desire slowly heading his way. He had faith that Cassius wouldn’t disapp

114. Remembrance
Unfortunately, there was one thing she ever regretted in her life. She couldn’t do anything to prevent Cassius’s death. If only she knew that he was poisoned, she might have done everything she could to get the antidote. Though, she knew the antidote didn’t exist. Still, the least she could do was stay by his side. But no. No, Elaine just has to be mad at Cassius for some menial things – she couldn’t even remember now. She was away, being angry at him that she even took some days off and refused his attempt to contact her. Tears welled up in her eyes at the memory. If there was a time machine, Elaine would do anything as long as she stayed by Cassius’s side. Even if it was in his last breath. The opposite happened. There was no denying that as Cassius’s assistant – and more, hopefully – Eliane was doing such a poor job. She didn’t even know he was poisoned, let alone staying by his side as he was dying.

113. May or May Not
‘Ring!’ Haze looked at his phone, seeing the reminder that he had set for today. He had to get ready for a very important first meeting today. Soon, a grin bloomed on his face, replacing the frown and scowl from earlier. After all, today was the day he faced his past mistakes again. Located in a quite fancy restaurant in the middle of the city, Haze hoped that he wouldn’t meet anyone who knew Cassius before. It’d be troublesome if he did, considering he was on his own now. As much as he hated to admit, having an assistant was useful in a time like this. But, he wasn’t exactly in full authority to get one himself from the many employees Leonard had. Besides, if it were up to him, they would meet in a place less dense. Alas, even after a month of living in this city, he still wasn’t that familiar with the public places. About two o’clock, he arrived at the mentioned restaurant. It had outdoor space, and it turned out, Kain Randall had

112. First Time Play
“Good job everyone,” Haze high fived his team in his Nameless costume, “I’ll treat you all to something special this Friday.” “But, boss!” Alfie whined to him, “Why can’t we do that now?” “I have some business, unlike a lazy bum like you.” Haze told them, “Besides, you have to work on your stealth first before the official Player League’s invitation comes to us.” “You think they’d let us in? It’s pretty big, you know?” “After our stellar performance? Oh, they couldn’t place us like a typical new team and ignore us for long.” Then, Haze looked at Melody, the daughter of the Head of the Immigration Service they made a deal with, “Did your father give you a hard time lately?” Melody frowned, but shook his head, “Strangely no, sir. You must have said very good words for me to my father? I hope the deal is worth it.” “Oh, you wouldn’t know.” After that, Haze and Maxine left the headquarters. Only then that they realize

111. Pettiness
“You and your petty mood, when is this going to end?” “It’s not petty,” Haze snarled, feeling highly offended by her careless remark. “You don’t know how awful it feels to have the person you trusted the most in this strange event of my life to betray me.” “Yeah, yeah, how would I know? The worst thing that happened to me was missing my breakfast this morning and always being reminded that my brother is dead while someone who looks exactly like him gets everything he has.” That quickly shut Haze up. An apologetic look crossed his face, followed by a silent sorry that came out of his mouth. Fixing her seating position on the couch, the teenage girl motioned to the suit case currently closed on the coffee table between them. “What are you going to do with it then?” Haze’s shoulders slumped as he leaned back against his couch. He closed his eyes, feeling a massive headache starting in no time. “I don’t know.” “And that’s why y

110. Dancing Lame
Maxine drew her arm, then quickly shot her fist, catching the man unguarded. He had to dodge to the side, almost colliding with the one still in Haze’s grip. However, the sharp-eyed teen followed with a high kick to his chest. Bhug! The kick landed right on the priced suitcase, much to the tattooed man’s chagrin. “You little shit! Do you know how important this suitcase is?!” “Are you hiding a dildo in there or something?” Maxine snickered at her own lewd joke. Haze would have reprimanded her if he had the time, but seeing as a fight broke in front of them, the man in his grip struggled and shoved him to the wall. Pinned, he almost got his face smacked right into the sturdy brick. Thankfully, he saw it coming and dodged away. At least, his training with the back-stabbing assistant was useful. They fought each tattooed man in the apartment hallway. Well, he was more into evading getting hit while Maxine tried to deal damage to her opp

109. Intervention
“S-s-so what do you want to know, Mr. Blackwood?”Haze suspected there must be a dark history involving the three of them before this. “Your enemies.”Muller paled hearing his answer, “I-I’m so-sorry?”“I need to know who your enemy is. People who have a grudge against you, or anyone who has a slight dislike towards you. Write me their names.”Muller gulped, writing off the names Haze didn’t recognize. With his trembling hands, the writing was sure to be shaky, but thankfully still readable. He glanced at Haze, hesitating a bit before his panic took over and he slid the paper forward. “Did you want to write my name on it?”Muller squeaked, shaking his head vehemently. “N-no, sir.”Sighing, Haze leaned forward with a serious face. “You look quite familiar,” he lied, “Tell me, what did I do wrong to warrant such treatment from you, hmm?”The red-haired Muller looked back and forth at Haze and Maxine, trying to se
