Mason wiped off the sweat on his forehead as he stammered into the phone, “l-l'm sorry. The game should never have picked up on the hack in the first place. I have no idea how their bots managed to detect it. Mr. Wayne, please give me a bit more time. I swear I can create a new account and become the highest-ranked player in the game by the end of this season.”
“F*ck you! Do you think this is a matter of ranking? My account is worth millions! What makes you think that creating a new account is enough to compensate for my losses?”
Mason swallowed nervously and asked, “T-Then, how do I fix this?”
“How? Money, of course! Two million, and not a dime less!”
“Two million?” Mason gasped, struggling to come up with a coherent reply. “I'm just an ordinary Joe. How am I supposed to come up with two million?”
“That's your problem, not mine. If I don't see that money in my account by midnight, I'll see you in court!”
His caller hung up without giving Mason a chance to reply.
Mason slumped in his chair. He regretted how he had allowed his greed to blind him into challenging the highest-ranked player in the game. All this just so I could get an extra three hundred thousand more...
Achieving the third-highest rank in the game was a result of his hard work. He had never used a hacker account before this match.
Nonetheless, it was too late for any regret now.
After staring blankly for a while, Mason suddenly recalled the company who had sold him the hacks.
That's it! I could contact them and claim damages worth two million!
His hope reignited, Mason immediately dialed the number of the company.
The line, however, went unanswered.
