Chapter 872 - The Truth about Eight Years Ago (20) (2/2)

A feeling of guilt started to develop within her.

Her one simple remark had changed the lives of two people so irrevocably.

Song Yuanxi continued, “At the time, I blamed my brother for not having a proper job. I cried because we didn’t even have enough to eat at home, but he had only one focus and that was gaming. In the end, I watched as the team club was formed. When I saw how happy my brother and Brother Liangchuan were, I realized that there are things that material wealth cannot buy. My brother and Brother Liangchuan had big dreams.”

“I do not understand your passion for gaming. I only know that I wanted my brother and Brother Liangchuan to be happy.”

“At the time, Brother Liangchuan moved out of his home and became like us, living in a single-story house, renting an apartment. When the team club was established, he and my brother didn’t sleep all night. They had an intense discussion about the way forward… I was happy for them.”

“But in the end?”

Song Yuanxi stood up, her eyes bloodshot and staring at Qiao Lian.

Biting her lip and pointing at Qiao Lian, she continued, “In the end? You bowed out of the deal without a second thought.”

Qiao Lian wanted to speak up.

She had injured both her hands and it had been a great setback for her.

Hence, she had called Zi Chuan and told him that she could no longer play video games with them.

But… what did her withdrawal from the team club have to do with Soul Fighter’s death?

“You didn’t know how the club was built, a little at a time? As easily as you said you wanted a team club, you said you wanted to withdraw! Did you know the price others had to pay for your whim and fancy?! To establish the team club, my brother left his work and became jobless. And when you withdrew, he had to pay with his life!”

Pay with his life?

Qiao Lian shot up from her seat and stared at Song Yuanxi, horrified. “What happened after I withdrew from the club?”

She clenched her fists tightly, waiting for the answer.
