Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 532 - What It Means To Be Brothers

The start of the semester was still a week away. Nie Yan and Xie Yao strolled around the campus before grabbing a bite to eat. They spent the rest of the afternoon working out in the gym, then returned to their villa at around five o'clock.

After arriving back home, Nie Yan prepared a simple meal for dinner. Though Xie Yao also knew how to cook, his culinary skills were a notch better. When he had to live alone in his past life, he had no choice but to prepare his own meals. So, he became a pretty good cook.

Three dishes and soup, though a bit light, the food was delicious. Xie Yao's evaluation of Nie Yan went up yet again. She couldn't help but wonder how he made these simple dishes so delicious.

As the two cleared away the plates, a homely atmosphere sprouted between them.

In the blink of an eye, the clock struck six.

"We should log back into the game," Nie Yan said, looking at the time. His expression turned serious. He knew the outcome of today's battle would play a crucial role in the future of Asskickers United.

"Yeah!" Xie Yao nodded. Seeing Nie Yan turn serious, she was a bit dazed. She inwardly gloated at the fact Jiang Yingyu would never know that he was the coolest when he was serious. She was his closest friend and lover. This was a position Jiang Yingyu could never take. She had no need to feel uneasy.

Two game capsules were set up in their bedroom. They were far more advanced than the ones back in Huahai.

The two stepped into their game capsules and entered Conviction.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao walked out of the villa in the Hilton Stronghold and gazed at the plaza outside. They were greeted by the sight of a large crowd of Asskickers United players. They were fully equipped and ready to set out. The other players walking by had expressions of awe on their faces. They were simply observers.

Seeing the players of Asskickers United in high spirits, Nie Yan also got fired up.

"Boss, you're here!"

The players from Asskickers United erupted with thunderous cheers which shook the whole plaza. The passersby were completely flabbergasted. What a frightening display of morale!

Black Hell turned to Nie Yan with a look of shock on his face. Seeing the passionate gazes of these players, he was puzzled. Just how did Nie Yan accomplish this? Even Dark Hero at its peak couldn't compare! This went beyond simple admiration and bordered on fanatical! A single zealot wasn't that frightening. However, when they gathered together in large droves, they would transform into an unstoppable war machine, they would crush everything in their path! Even an enemy many times their size would collapse and crumble!

"Heh, what do you think? The morale isn't bad. We've finished all preparations. You should say a few words," Bladelight said.

Everyone looked at Nie Yan with anticipation in their eyes. The upcoming battle in the Realm of Death was extremely important to Asskickers United. All players would be watching. It didn't matter how much outside help Alliance of Mages brought. Losing was not an option.

Seeing all these familiar faces before him, Nie Yan's heart was filled with emotion.

Nie Yan suddenly had a lot of things he wanted to say. Calming his mind, he faced the crowd. "Do any of you know how many battles we've fought since Asskickers United was established...? Heh. I doubt many people still remember. Even I've lost track myself. But I still remember our first battle. Sparrow Hawk, I, and the rest of our group were ambushed and surrounded by Victorious Return. In the end, only a handful of us survived, and even Sparrow Hawk's Arcane Fairy was killed. We had to search high and low to find an Energized Crystal to revive it. At that time, the guild was still pretty weak, and we only had a thousand or so members. Who among you have been with me since the start?"
