Chapter 634
At that moment, Sophia took the opportunity to share her ideas. This was life or death for thepany.
Every decision they made would make a huge impact on their entire operations and the future of the
company. As such, they had to be very cautious and consider every single aspect before making any
decisions. Hence, she was eager to listen to Michael’s opinion.
At the present time, their concept had been stolen. Even though the culprit had been apprehended, it
would be impossible for them to take back what was theirs. After all, theirpetitor was more
sessful than them and were a veteran in the industry. It would be difficult to win against them even
though the culprit had admitted that he sold the game to the other party because he already got the
money and fled.
Additionally, there were a lot of hateful messages, usations, and nder on the inte that were
constantlying for the small startuppany. Not only was thepany just a startup, but their team
also consisted mostly of university students. If they failed to ovee this, then that would be the end of
theirpany.
Solemnly, Sophia nced at everyone before sharing her strategy. “The n for the new version
remains unchanged. We should stick to the original n and release the game on the scheduled date!”
As soon as she shared her n, everyone grimaced. Apologetically, Sarah disagreed. “I don’t think
that’s a good idea… If the other party sues us, we would be fighting a losing battle. After all, they
released the game first.”
Upon hearing this, everyone else agreed that it was a risky move. Although the idea was theirs and they
had developed the game first, the other party did release it before them. Many of the main highlights of
their design were copied, so if they released the game, there would not be any originality and it would be
predictable to the users. This would greatly impact its impression on the users.
However, Sophia said confidently, “Even though they released the game first, our game didn’te out
of thin air. There are traces of our work in the development stages on the inte, including what
inspired us. So, we don’t have to be afraid of going to court. Their game was copied from ours, and the
giarism is too obvious. So, the situation is actually in our favor.”

“Since they have used a malicious tactic, we don’t have to be kind to them. We’ll do everything we can to
beat them!”
“I have already contacted my friends from overseas, and I still have a few more calls to make.”
The person behind thepany who developed ‘Medal of Sniper’ had been found—it was none other
than Richard Harper. There was no need for Sophia to investigate as she could easily identify the crook
through the ghostwriters’ cover ups. It was the same blueprint and idea but to invest in online games,
you’d need money. Arge sum of money.
In fact, Harps was t broke. So, someone must have given him money. It was obvious he had no
intentions of producing online games, and he was just using this as an excuse to sabotage Sophia. This
was a cunning strategy. If it were any other startuppany, they would’ve crumbled a long time ago.
However, Sophia and Stanley had surprisingly managed to hold out. What surprised them even more
was Sophia’s extensivework. Since thepetitor had no shame, she would not hold back. Let’s see
who has thestugh!
Once the n had been finalized, the wholepany began to work overtime to prepare a new version
of the game. On a rted note, Michael’s schedule was packed. He stayed a night in Bayside City and
left the next morning, and even then, he slept in thepany in order to spend time with Sophia as she
was working over time.
Before he left, everyone reluctantly bade goodbye to Michael and Ethan. Someone came up to Stanley
and asked, “Mr. Fletcher, why don’t you let thedy boss be the spokesperson for our game?” If the two
lady bosses could be the spokesperson, then the game would surely be a hit.
ncing at the ignorant programmer, Stanley snapped, “What do you know? Who do you think thedy
boss is?”
At once, the programmer did not make another sound. Right after Michael’s departure, came another
‘Taylor’ unexpectedly who looked exactly like the one who had just left. She was working there as a
security guard. Holding Stanley’s dog with a leash, she patrolled while everyone else worked.
Recently, Celine had been getting herself in trouble at nightclubs, but she had finally found a decent job
as a security guard. Immediately, Justin followed her and became a security guard as well. Both of them
patrolled the office while walking Sophia’s Samoyed and Stanley’s husky at the same time.
Celine was hoping for someone toe and cause trouble, and little did she know that her wish would
be granted as someone came over by noon on her first day. It seemed like thendlord had been
released by the public security bureau and had gathered some people to cause trouble at the office.
They would not stop until this little startuppany was destroyed.
The gangsters came in and saw Celine chatting with the receptionist, and there were only a few people
at the reception. So, they thought this was their chance and immediately came in with bats and started
smashing everything. It startled Stanley’s husky so much that it yelped in fear. Seeing the colorfully-
dressed gangsters, Celine rolled up her sleeves as her eyes lit up before charging at the gangsters.
As the receptionist shrieked while the husky barked, Celine fought and ended the battle within a few
minutes. The gangsters were scattered all over the floor while thendlord suffered a broken nose and a
swollen face. Clutching his bruised face, he pointed at Celine and yelled, “You’re going to regret this. I’m
calling 911 now!”
Fearlessly, Celine challenged him. “What are you going to do? I’m Taylor Murray, a superstar who has
tens of millions of fans! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?”
Everything had happened so fast that thendlord didn’t even see the person who had beat him up. Just
then, he saw the person in front of him clearly. This person looked exactly the same as the actor in the
movie! Taylor Murray had hit someone! Who would believe this?
Before thendlord could say anything, Justin had immediately brought him to the public security bureau
before the police took over. With Celine’s protection, thepany was no longer bothered by gangsters.
Anyone who came to cause trouble would face the wrath of Celine Fletcher. As a matter of fact, Celine
was afraid no one woulde and cause trouble as she was starting to feel bored.
The gangsters in town knew that the infamous Cece was here to stay, and they never came to bother
them anymore. Since Celine was here, Justin would naturally be here too. Even Nathan who was on his
summer break would tag along with his parents to the office. He would do his homework and y games
on the officeputer. Not only that, he had also gotten a job there for the summer, and he would go
home with his parents after work.
Meanwhile, the new version of ‘Soul of Sniper’ was ready to be released officially. Before releasing the
new version, Sophia had gotten in touch with Calvin, and formally submitted thewyer’s letter to
Richard’s game developmentpany.
Due to the fact that ‘Medal of Sniper’ was modified based on the new version of ‘Soul of Sniper’, there
was plenty of proof of their giarism. There was a high chance of them being able to sessfully sue
the other party for infringement. Thewyer’s letter was sent out, and it waspletely ignored as
expected.
Moreover, they had been copying from other gamingpanies in the past few years. Therefore, the
lawyer’s letter was just another addition to the pile of letters they have received over the years. Since
they were a big and sessfulpany and had a strong legal department, they were not afraid. It was
only normal that they disregarded thewyer’s letter from a small startuppany, not to mention a
company started by a team of college students.
To put it bluntly, they were tantly bullying neers. They were treating them the way an old
generation would treat the younger, inexperienced generation. After all, they had been established for
ten years while the other was only established for one.
