Chapter 1198 - 1198

Everyone assumed that being born into such a family meant happiness.

In fact, it was quite the opposite.

From the age of three, Ellery Langdon was comprehensively and relentlessly "protected."

He couldn't play any dangerous games for fear of hurting himself.

He couldn't play with other children for fear he might be negatively influenced by them.

He couldn't eat any common snacks because they were considered unnutritious and potentially unsafe.

At the same time, he had to receive education in all aspects: moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education.

Others would go on holiday to sunbathe in parks.

He would sit at his desk doing workbook exercises.

Others would run and jump freely in physical education class.

He was confined to the classroom doing workbook exercises.

When others gathered for family celebrations, setting off fireworks and collecting sweets during the New Year, he was still doing workbook exercises.

If he could go back to his childhood.

Ellery Langdon would have rather been born into a normal family.

Did he really become an exemplary student by sacrificing his childhood and youth?

After entering high school, an incident occurred that changed Ellery Langdon's personality and left him with a lifelong trauma.

On the threshold of adolescence.

The turbulence within him finally surfaced.

Like most teenagers.

He began to harbor an urge to peek at women's bodies.

One evening.

Ellery Langdon stealthily sneaked into the girls' restroom.

Catching the twilight, he secretly watched a female teacher using the toilet.

Being inexperienced, he was unsurprisingly discovered.

Such a reprehensible act evidently warranted a call to the parents.

After being summoned to the office, Ellery Langdon's parents not only failed to guide him properly but cruelly humiliated him, calling him a thug, a pervert, a devil.

Under such "personal attacks."

The already extreme nature of Ellery Langdon found it difficult to cope.

He believed that the source of his predicament was that evil thing between his legs.

Returning to his room, he grabbed a stick and viciously struck his groin.

The result was naturally foreseeable.

From then on.

Ellery Langdon became a "eunuch".

His father, mother, grandparents, and maternal grandparents were all heartbroken upon hearing the news.

In Serenity State, which harbors an ardent belief in the continuation of lineage, this was a terrible incident, leading the six to reflect that had they not been so strict with Ellery Langdon, such a thing might not have happened.

The "root of illness" can be severed.

But the "inner demon" cannot.

Losing his manhood didn't mean Ellery Langdon stopped thinking about women.

Over time.

A distorted personality began to take shape.

Especially after he started making money.

The desire for revenge against women grew even stronger.

After all, in his view.

His current physical deficiency was caused by women.

Over the years.

The number of women he molested in the same manner was countless.

Even a famous star like Sabrina White was no exception.

Half an hour later.

The effect of the drug on Sabrina White wore off.

She hurriedly dressed.

Just as she prepared to leave.

Ellery Langdon suddenly called out, "Wait a moment."

This sentence made her heart tremble.

Turning her head, she asked, "Mr. Langdon... is there... anything else?"

Ellery Langdon slid a USB drive into her bag.

With a faint smile, he said, "Here are the intimate scenes we just shared. When you have time, take a good look at it. Of course, you can also use it as evidence to sue me. Do as you see fit."

Sabrina White didn't dare to refuse.

She swallowed nervously, didn't even have time to put on her high heels, and fled like she was running for her life.

Ellery Langdon, relieved, exhaled deeply and sat down on the sofa.

Just then, he was toying with the shoes Sabrina White had left behind.

At that moment.

A rapid knocking on the door echoed.

Following this.

The door was pushed open.

The previous female secretary walked in.

She anxiously said, "Mr. Langdon, Joywave Technologies over there has also given out benefits to the players, and they acted with fifty million at once. Now many players have returned there."

Ellery Langdon remained completely unfazed upon hearing this news.

He leisurely said, "Well, it seems Seth Dixon hasn't been idle lately and managed to pull in some investments. Inform Horatio Shepherd to add another fifty million in benefits."

He mentioned Horatio Shepherd.

The deputy he had lured away from Joywave Technologies with a high salary.

Now the lead for the pirated game "Three Kingdoms Battle."

"Got it!"

The secretary nodded and went out.

Ellery Langdon stretched lazily.

Murmured, "Hmph, an unrefined scumbag wants to compete with me by throwing money? Watch how I smash you with it."

After saying this.

He cradled Sabrina White's high heels.

Lying down on the sofa.

Unaware of how long he lingered in a daze.

Another rapid knocking on the door sounded.

He furrowed his brow, opening his eyes.

This time it wasn't the female secretary but Horatio Shepherd who walked in.

A young man in his late twenties, sporting a programmer's look.

"Why are you here? Didn't I promise to let you distribute the benefits?"

Ellery Langdon asked lightly.

Horatio Shepherd swallowed nervously.

He said, "Mr. Langdon, Joywave's side has increased their total benefits to one hundred million, and they dispatched ground-promotion teams into internet cafes, claiming players will be subsidized with two yuan for every hour spent on 'Three Kingdoms Chronicles,' until the three billion cash pool is fully distributed."

Suddenly.

Ellery Langdon sprang up.

At this moment.

His eyes revealed shock.

A hundred million in benefit subsidies.

Three hundred million in prize pool rewards.

This amounted to four hundred million.

In his opinion.

Seth Dixon couldn't possibly raise such an amount of money so quickly.

Horatio Shepherd informed him, in just one day.

The number of concurrent users for "Three Kingdoms Chronicles" increased by one million, with registration numbers soaring to an astonishing two million.

Many "Three Kingdoms Battle" players ditched the game, migrating to "Three Kingdoms Chronicles" since the tangible perks were more appealing.

"Damn, they've upgraded fast, haven't they changed their server? Isn't it a small company outside the province? Can it handle so many users online?"

Ellery Langdon asked.

Horatio Shepherd took a deep breath.

He said, "They've already upgraded to Wave Technologies' servers."

"What? Weren't they supposed to end their partnership?"

Ellery Langdon asked.

He said this because it was his doing.

Wave Technologies was one of the nation's most prestigious server providers.

Dominating most of the market share in Serenity State.

Joywave used their servers previously.

Later Ellery Langdon personally intervened, handing a large sum of money to the CEO, ensuring Wave Technologies ceased cooperation with Joywave.

Unexpectedly, Wave managed to reconnect with them.

Horatio Shepherd shook his head, saying, "I don't know how it happened, I called Wave's customer service to ask, and they said it was a board decision."

Inhaled sharply.

Ellery Langdon walked over to the desk.

Picked up the phone, dialed a number.

After a moment, the call was connected.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu of Wave?"

Ellery Langdon asked.

This Mr. Xu was in charge of Wave Technologies in Serenity State.

Also the decision-maker in severing ties with Joywave Technologies.

On the other end.

A solemn voice said, "Sorry, Mr. Xu has been dismissed, my surname is Shao, I'm the new manager, may I help you?"
