Chapter 494 - War of Words

Dave pressed hard on the accelerator, bringing back the old monster to life. It roared in defiance against all the years it had remained unused and standing still. It was the breath of life having been blown into it.

Jacky opened the garage door for Dave, and the latter switched gears and drove off after spinning the wheels several times in place. The car shot out of the gar like a bullet. There goes Dave's fear of speed, as once you're the one behind the wheel, you would feel much safer.

Dave drove between the cars of New York, most gave way to the monster behind them. All the cars on the road were smart cars and would give way to anyone not using automatic handling. Dave found himself in heaven of a free open way. It was no wonder that Zoe liked driving like a crazy person, every car gave her enough space to move and she never felt hampered.

Dave kept moving the car, no one dared contend with the Mustang on the road. And whoever noticed the car, had his eyes glued to it until it moved away. It's style was a far cry from the futuristic-looking rides on the road, but that ancient style had a sense of majesty and pure savageness that commended respect and fear.

He turned on the radio, playing some old school music, country, rock, and metal, whatever the beat the podcaster decided to play, Dave would listen to it bemusedly.

There was no freedom better than this Dave thought to himself. In less than one year, all of his life had turned around, and if one were to meet Dave a year ago and tell him that he would become Mr.Skeletal, a world-famous superstar. A millionaire owning a company that created the latest Tech related ch.i.p.s and gears. And also, the man who singlehandedly steered the wheels of Conquest, leading it to a new age.

David Ruster, from a part-timer to a world sensation. It was thanks to luck, but also it was all due to his hard and ceaseless efforts.

Dave kept driving following the car GPS, and soon he found himself at CCN headquarter studio. Dave didn't even have to give his ID to the security at the door. Everyone knew who Dave was at CCN.

The door opened up to him and he entered the building. From there, a woman came rushing in, holding a notepad in her hand.

"Mr.: Ruster I'm Sindy, you're a little late, but we can manage the time. Please follow me to the makeup room as I tell you how things would go."

"Skip makeup, just get me on the set, I have a birthday party to attend soon and I don't wanna be late to that either."

"Skip makeup, okay…" Sindy then struck an element off of her notepad and began telling Dave what was going on as they moved.

"Susan will host the interview like always, there will be many other players present today, we'll be discussing the new Patch update that Conquest has just released. Also, we'll discuss about the future plans of all the super guilds. Especially with the impending downfall of the Blood Ragers."

"Wow, hold up, new patch? When? And what downfall are you talking about?"

"You didn't know? Conquest released a patch just thirty minutes ago. As for the Blood Ragers, we don't have time to go over every detail, but your action against the Ash King and victory resulted in any of the players that chose the demonic side to forfeit their legacies."

"That's a big oof, anyway, who's going to be in the interview?"

"Everyone."

"Oh, that's gotta be interesting." Dave smiled and then walked into a room where Sigward Smith, Perfect Shot's father, and the owner of CCN was standing in wait.

"Welcome, David! My shooting star! Ha!" Sigward gave Dave a tight bear hug, which reminded him a lot of Ralph's antics.

"Now, today I'm hosting a lot of snobbish brats, but you gotta show them whoes boss, boy. Everyone is already on set, we're just waiting for you."

"Yeah, I'm also hoping to get this done and over with quick, who's ass should I roast for you today?"

"If you can, all of them. HA! But don't overdo it, we don't want anyone coming out crying do we." Sigward smiled at Dave and the latter replied with his vicious Draugr grin.

"That's the face I wanted to see! HA! Go in boy, we got a show to start!"

Dave walked in the studio backstage. From the other side of the stage, he could hear the loud clapping of people who were already seated as the show must have started a few minutes ago.

Susan's voice could be heard from everywhere.

"So, that makes for a great future aspect Warlord, Valentine, the Devastator guild had relied a lot on you two's achievements, but as it appears to everyone, Mr. Skeletal has become a great hurdle in the rise of the Devastator's guild, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Susan, before I answer your question, I have something to say." Valentine said, "This is probably not the only time I was proven wrong by Mr. Skeletal. He has shown us all that even one man, against all odds could do many things, he is an aspiration to many. And everyone should have a good grasp of their capabilities but never shy away from greatness if offered as risks to take. Mr.Skeltal was but a banal single man as he began, and I am ashamed to have thought nothing less of him at first. I admit that my view was biased, but now I have faced him, and even fought alongside him. I would like to take back all I have said against MR. Skeletal as he is not one to be trifled with. He is no less a genius than Mr. Park right here."

Dave grinned, Valentine was a vicious person, he just apologized to having offended Mr.Skeletal on tv, and instead of leaving it like that to be criticized by the Devastator supporters as they were too blind to see that Dave was superior, he shifted the view to White Ghost as he was the 'genius' of conquest, but due to Dave having beaten White Ghost several times on a row, Valentine and the Devastators get taken out of the picture as humble people who recognize their mistakes and apologize to it, while White Ghost was offered as the scapegoat.

White Ghost coughed and said, "It's as Valentine had said, Skeletal had great opportunities that he took advantage of all of them, this gave him a great head start over everyone, and as Valentine said that Mr. Skeletal is a true genius I would not deny it. He had outsmarted me several times, sadly, I haven't had the proper means to fight back as I didn't want to risk my Legacy. Otherwise, our fight with MR Skeletal could have been more interesting, even if he still won at the end."

"That's right, speaking of Mr. Skeletal, he had just arrived to the set! Please a welcome to CCN's VVIP guest, David Ruster, In-game Kis'Shtiengbrah or as everyone knows, Mr.Skeletal!"
