Chapter 782


    Sophia grimaced.


    This old man seemed to love ‘roasted eggnt with minced pork’ and was constantly talking about it!


    How could she look at the actual roasted eggnt with minced pork after this?


    “That’s enough, Dad. I can handle this and I’lle to you if I need your help! Besides, I have to learn as


    I grow. I can’t be relying on you for everything!”


    Upon hearing this, Cooper dropped the matter. He was relieved but also a little disappointed.


    His baby was all grown up and would not need him anymore. As he thought about it, he became really


    depressed!


    For the entire day, Sophia had been catching up with the business operations. Exhausted, she washed


    up and got ready for bed.


    Michael had not been around for a few days. Thus, Carmen had been staying with Sophia and had been


    sleeping with her every night.


    During the day, Carmen’s nannies yed with her and took care of her. At night, one of them would stay


    over and sleep in the next room.


    There were some changes to Sophia’s bed; a guard rail was installed on the side of her bed to prevent


    Carmen from falling off the bed when she slept.


    Hugging her teddy bear, Carmen had her eyes wide open and was still wide awake as she talked to


    Sophia.


    “Mommy, when can we go to the zoo? I want to see the lion!”


    “When Daddyes back in a few days, we’ll go to the zoo together,” Sophia murmured tenderly as she


    pinched Carmen’s tiny face.


    A momentter, Carmen asked again, “When can we go see the panda?”


    “When Daddyes back!”


    Upon hearing that, Carmen was pleased. Then, she went to sleep while hugging her teddy bear.


    When Carmen was asleep, Sophia stared at her phone. Michael’s phone number had vanished from her


    phone and he had disappeared from Messenger too.


    Sophia had no idea how to reach him.


    In a daze, she stared at the list. Suddenly, a group chat named ‘Gay Swordsman Group’ appeared and


    someone named ‘stupid dog’ typed, ‘@group: Everyone, there’s an event tonight for the 15th anniversary


    of the Swordsman Game! There will be special sets, new maps, and new monsters! Who wants to join?’


    ‘Me,’ Sean replied.


    ‘Old Wolf and I too. He’s preparing milk right now,’ Sarah replied.


    ‘I want to join too,’ Imported Young Man wrote.


    Sophia had just learned to use Messenger so she was still a little confused with group chats. After


    fumbling for a moment, she replied that she would join as well.


    Sarah had downloaded the Swordsman Game for Sophia. Previously, Sophia had kept a record of all her


    ounts and passwords in a little notebook. Logging into one of the old ounts, she entered the game


    and into the game room that Stan mentioned.


    It had been a few days since she retrieved the game and she was slowly getting familiar with it, already


    familiar with the basic functions. Even though she had forgotten, her instincts were still present as she


    yed the game.


    When she entered the game room, there were already a number of people in the team. One by one, she


    identified each gamer—Stan was ‘Snow Fox’, Harry was ‘Beast’, Sarah was ‘Little Kitten’, Sean was


    ‘Dragon Belle Warrior’, and thest one was ‘Moon Breeze’, which was obviously Linus.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Although Uncle Linus looked like a foreigner, in fact, he was a gentle and old-fashioned man.


    Meanwhile, Sophia was ‘Sirius 233’, a male character.


    ‘Is everyone here yet? We’ll start right away,’ Stan wrote.


    As soon as he said that, a magnificent golden light special effect shone from the sky in the game. A


    colorful light cascaded from the sky before a male character in golden armor descended from the sky


    andnded before Sophia.


    Sophia examined this character, who was wearing a golden armored robe with a long sword hanging on


    his green silk waistband—the character design was very cool.


    This character’s name was Scary Phoenix.


    When he appeared, there was quite a reaction from everyone.


    ‘Crap. Daddy, why are you here?’


    ‘Holy sh*t! Where the f*ck did youe from?’


    ‘Sir Scary Phoenix, please ept my respect.’


    Everyone seemed to be very familiar with him. Sophia, however, was totally confused. She clicked into


    Scary Phoenix’s information and found out that this gamer’s scores were through the roof.


    Due to the time limit, the triple experience was only valid for an hour. When time was up, everyone


    rushed into the instance zones and started doing quests.


    Sophia enjoyed ying the game. In the virtual world, she could be a virtual boss or a virtual warrior. It


    was simply amazing!


    Her old self must have chosen to develop games because she loved it!


    They had chosen the monster with the highest difficulty and the oing monsters were particrly


    fierce. Suddenly, a giant monster rushed straight at Sophia and unleashed strange attacks. However,


    Sophia did not defend herself, which resulted in the monster wing her. Hence, she was poisoned and


    lost half of her life.


    Once she was poisoned, her character’s actions were slowed down. The monster was right before the


    character, but Sirius’s speed was still extremely slow. At once, Sophia was intimidated.


    Right at the critical moment, a bright golden light shed and she could hear the sound of a sword being


    drawn out. The golden armor-d warrior had appeared before her and rushed toward the monster,


    fighting it by himself.


    It turned out to be Scary Phoenix!


    Scary Phoenix’s gaming skills were unbelievable. A golden light shed and in an instant, he unleashed


    a series of superb moves. A giant monster that could only be defeated by a team that cooperated closely


    and had strong gears was single handedly defeated by Scary Phoenix.


    When the monster copsed, everyone in the team was in awe.


    ‘God damn! The old man’s skill did not diminish at all! He is indeed old but vigorous!’


    ‘Good game! No wonder you’re known as the Swordsman’s Number One God of War!’


    ‘It would’ve been great if you had finished filming ‘Swordsman’ back then. It’s such a pity that you had to


    fake your death in the middle of filming! They had the heart throb Nichs Yates rece you in ying


    Scary Phoenix and the film went to sh*t!’


    ‘It’s such a shame! It started off as a ssic but it ended up being bullsh*t!’


    ‘They even cut your scenes and left you with only three episodes!’


    Seeing what everyone was saying in the game, Sophia curiously opened the browser and typed


    ‘Swordsman’ TV series, and the results popped up.


    The series was released two years ago and the lead actor was the has-been actor Nichs Yates.


    The plot was about the main character’s family being tragically murdered and he had changed his name


    to ‘Scary Phoenix’, wandering around the world as he sought revenge.


    In the reviews section, the first three episodes were considered a ssic; the ratings were so high that


    no TV series could beat it.


    Despite that, the ratings rapidly declined after the third episode. It was disastrous, all because the lead


    actor had passed away. Hence, they reced the actor with Nichs Yates, whose acting skills were


    almost non-existent. The contrast was just tragic!


    In the first three episodes, the lead actor who yed Scary Phoenix was Taylor Murray and it was also


    hisst film.


    All at once, Sophia was shocked.


    Scary Phoenix was Taylor Murray? In other words, he was Carmen’s Dad, Michael Fletcher?


    She found a photo of the set of the film from that year. In the photo, Michael was dressed in gold amour.


    He had a powerful gaze and a handsome and cool expression, radiating a fierce aura. Comparing the


    photo and the character in the game, they looked exactly the same. The costumes were magnificent.


    It was aplete oppositepared to his haggard and white-haired appearance now…
