Emily Quest turned around and found her reflection in the mirror. She looked battered and exhausted. That miserable figure was no better than a walking corpse…
The thought of the Weibo post regarding how happily Xyla Quest went to the concert with Josh Batton’s family flashed across her mind. Hatred started to grow inside her like a tumor.
An intense feeling of weakness and powerlessness spread all over her body. Her legs wobbled and collapsed in the very next second.
Blood began to drip from her left wrist.
It was caused by Tom Sullivan’s rude action earlier.
The burning, fiery pain pulled Emily back to her senses from her immense hatred, reminding her to take a look at her wrist.
When she saw the bloody wound, she immediately cried out at the door in fear. “Doctor… Doctor…”

On the other hand, after Georgie Clementine returned home and took a shower, she got into bed with her laptop. She then turned on her laptop and logged in to her favorite game, Heroes Assemble, intending to complete her daily tasks before going to sleep.
After logging in, she found out that she could not play because she had not updated the game.
Only then she remembered that the game had ushered in a new version. Without hesitation, she moved her mouse to click ‘Update’.
She had seen the announcement about the new version before. In this version, a gang mission competition was added to the game.
Any gang which was above Level 10 could sign up for the competition.
After signing up, the gang mission competition would be activated every Friday.
The gang that completed the most missions in the system would be the winner of the competition.
Besides, the winning gang would receive a rare treasure chest.
The treasure chest could unlock numerous rare and helpful materials in the game.
About ten minutes later, the game was updated. Georgie could finally enter the game now.
“No.1 Counselor, Extraordinary Geo, has entered the game!” A huge banner welcoming her popped out on the screen.
Shortly, another large banner appeared on the screen again. “No.1 General, Cloud Piercer, has entered the game!”
Later, Could Piercer sent her an invitation to team up.
