Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 23 82 E55 vouchers Hazel's heart nearly leapt out of her chest . Without a second thought , she had Hazelight stride boldly forward , reaching out to Moondust , completely ignoring the fact that she was still decked out in the game's top - tier wedding dress . [ Arrogant Wind : Hazelight , what are you doing ? ] Before he could say more , Moondust made the white phoenix fly right over Hazelight , not even sparing her a glance . His hand finally came to a halt in front of someone nobody expected . Stella raised an eyebrow at the hand reaching out to her .

' Did he get the wrong person ? ' she wondered . She nudged Starfall to the side with her keyboard , but the hand followed , still hovering right in front of her . Moondust was showing everyone online , loud and clear , that he hadn't made a mistake . After seven years away , he was back for Starfall , and only her . The world chat went dead silent in the sheer drama of it . [ Moondust : Starfall , get on . ] Even through the screen , everyone could feel the chill in those words . Anyone still clinging to hope was left stunned .

It was common knowledge that Moondust's white phoenix never let anyone else ride with him . " Stella ! " Hazel screamed at her monitor , face flushed with humiliation . She could feel the laughter from the entire server . Stella had just stolen all her spotlight .. The glow from the screen lit up the mischievous smirk on Stella's lips . Her fingers hovered over the keyboard , the faint blue veins on the back of her hand visible . ' So the server's number one player , Moondust , is here to back me up ? Now that's interesting , Stella thought .

A question from the Lunar Guild suddenly popped up in the world chat . [ Moondust , aren't you here for Hazelight ? ] Hazel didn't say a word , but she was practically holding her breath , waiting for an answer . She just couldn't believe Moondust would possibly pick Stella over someone as gorgeous as her . [ Moondust : Ridiculous . ] It was just one word , but it was more insulting than saying he didn't even know her . The one asking him replied : [ So what if you're a legend ? Does that mean you get to put people down ? ] Classic pretentious girl routine .

She was acting all righteous , but Stella could tell that she just wanted Moondust to notice her . The next second , Starfall , who hadn't moved an inch , reached out and grabbed Moondust's hand . In one slick motion , she was already sitting atop the one and only white phoenix in all of Nova Legends . The phoenix screeched , its silvery glow wrapping around its entire body . As it soared back into the sky , scattering ethereal light particles over Destiny Isle . Moondust's frosty elegance made Arrogant Wind's expensive , gaudy decorations look cheap and pathetic .

The world chat blew up with old - timers who'd been here since day one . [ No way ! Not even in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see this happen . ] [ Who even is the Lunar Guild ? Still trying to clout - chase the top dog , huh ? ] Chapter 23 [ Ever wonder why Moondust's ID is 00001 ? Rumor has it that he's one of the three founders of Nova Group . ] 55 vouchers The newbies freaked out . Maybe they didn't know Moondust , but everyone knew Nova Group . That was basically its own country .

[ For real , is nobody gonna talk about how Moondust just came back after seven years just for Starfall and is totally embarrassing Arrogant Wind and Hazelight right now ? ] [ Seriously , after meeting a legend like Moondust , who'd ever bother with Arrogant Wind ? ] While the world chat was going absolutely wild , the ones at the center of the drama had already landed gracefully on Destiny Isle , standing face - to - face with Arrogant Wind and Hazelight , both still decked out in their flashy wedding gear .

Meanwhile , up in the villa's gaming room , Stella's phone was getting spammed with calls . Every single one was from Hazel , who was clearly furious . Stella didn't even glance at her phone . She hung up with the kind of lazy indifference that was her trademark . Suddenly , a blood - red system announcement blazed across the sky above Destiny Isle . [ System : A vow of vengeance . Starfall challenged Arrogant Wind to a forced duel . Will Arrogant Wind accept or decline ? ] The world chat went silent again .

Starfall , still in her plain white starter gear , actually had the nerve to challenge Arrogant Wind , the server's number two . Almost everyone thought she had lost her mind . In a forced duel , the loser faced brutal penalties : lost levels , random loss of top gear , and a red name for a whole week . The last one was basically open season for anyone on the server to come after the loser , Starfall , with her trashed account , is going up against Arrogant Wind , the server's number two ? It was just asking for trouble in everyone's eyes . Stella typed in a cold , lazy manner .

[ Starfall : Arrogant Wind , you and Hazelight had the nerve to get someone to hack my account , but now you're chickening out ? ] [ Arrogant Wind : Starfall , today's my big day . I don't want any bloodshed . ] Arrogant Wind was every bit as cocky as his name suggested , his words full of disdain for Starfall , like dueling a starter account was just beneath him . [ System : Warning ! Moondust , the server's number one , is about to trigger the annihilation mode . Everyone in the area will be forced into red name PvP mode . Get ready for chaos , Nova Legends players .

] Every top - ranked player on the server turned pale . They were just here for the hype , hoping to catch some wedding drama . They never expected to get dragged into this disaster . [ Hey , I'm new here . Can someone explain what annihilation mode is ? ] [ Uh , newbie here , too . Can someone fill me in ? ] [ Basically , everyone on the server gets thrown into red name PvP combat . Doesn't matter your level or gear . The top player can trigger it once a year , and when they do , it's pure carnage every single time . ] [ I'm scared . Can I log out ?

] [ Sure , give it a shot .] Yeah , no , that wasn't happening . [ Moondust : Arrogant Wind , either you accept Starfall's challenge , or I trigger the annihilation mode . Pick one . ] His words were icy and merciless , putting Arrogant Wind right on the spot with no way out . Stella sat at her computer , eyes half - lidded as she lazily tapped her fingers on the desk . ' Moondust is ruthless , she thought [ Arrogant Wind , if you're a real man , quit stalling and take the challenge . Don't get the rest of us caught up in your drama .

] [ Arrogant Wind , stop acting like a coward and show yourself . ] Everyone had that instinct to side with the top dog , so nobody dared call out Moondust for wanting to activate the annihilation mode . All the hate got dumped on Arrogant Wind instead . Live streams of Nova Legends were smashing viewership records across every gaming platform . Hashtags like [ Nova Legends ] , [ Starfall and Moondust ] , and [ Number One Player ] started trending . [ Arrogant Wind : You asked for this . ] [ System : Arrogant Wind has accepted Starfall's forced duel challenge .
