Adams laughed heartily, "Too bad he was a short-lived ghost, that kid died too early, alas!" He seemed to be reminiscing, yet also jesting.
Amelia bowed her head in thought and said, "But why have I never heard anyone say they've seen him, his..." Although she didn't finish her sentence, Adams could understand what Amelia implied; she was saying there was no sign of him, dead or alive.
"Mr. President, have you ever seen him in person?"
"Never. The Flame Legion emperors are too far from the capital, and it was Greedy Wolf in charge, who also just heard about it."
Amelia let out a 'hmm', indicating she understood, and muttered nonchalantly, "What a bizarre disappearance..."
"Bizarre, is it."
"Riddled with mystery, General Greedy Wolf hasn't seen him either, right?"
"He also just heard about it; John and Xiu Yi were said to have personally explained, you should know that child."
"I know Xiu Yi, but not really; I know about his special relationship with Feng Yi, which makes it even stranger."
"Strange... where's the strange part?" Adams paused slightly, looking at Amelia, full of confusion.
"Do you know Galactic Warfare?"
"Of course, the army has even implemented a basic training tutorial for the game."
"Have you heard of Hans?"
"Hans..." To be honest, hearing Amelia mention him made Adams vaguely recall the person, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember who this Hans was. "I've heard his name somewhere."
"Hans is the chief executive at the Star Wars company." Amelia talked as she walked, her brain working rapidly to gather the fleeting moments that sparked insight just now.
"Oh, what about him?"
Adams grew more puzzled by the moment, utterly unaware of why Amelia would bring the topic to the level of a game company, he usually had no time to understand this, he couldn't fathom her purpose in talking about this.
"Recently, Galactic Warfare had a special event, and it was after hearing about Revenge Shadow Rider that I specifically paid some attention."
"Haha, this is a domain unfamiliar to me, I bet you want to express something." Adams seemingly didn't want to continue this unproductive topic.
Amelia sighed deeply, with a look of conceding defeat, "Mr. President, you fundamentally don't understand Hans's obsession with Revenge Shadow Rider; he is a madman, but I can comprehend—no, I'm even certain that he would die for a word from Revenge Shadow Rider."
Adams was also startled by Amelia's words, but upon careful thought, it seemed not so surprising since the world isn't short of madmen, there's plenty of them, especially devoted to Revenge Shadow Rider.
Amelia sighed again, apparently, the President had not yet comprehended her intentions, or perhaps, she didn't know how to convey the bond between Hans and Revenge Shadow Rider herself.
Therefore, Amelia solemnly asserted to Adams, requesting that he must listen to her words first.
Adams nodded, somewhat bewildered, dazed, unsure of what he nodded to; to be honest, he had rarely seen this talented and intelligent young captain have trouble expressing herself over something.
Amelia explained to Adams that, in fact, not Adams, but Hans, Hans was a follower of Revenge Shadow Rider, but this following was different from ordinary people's, he obsessively believed Revenge Shadow Rider was God, and held this belief without doubt.
To a certain extent, he already had the potential to be considered a psychiatric patient, but there's no shortage of such people; however, should you try to find the one most supportive of Revenge Shadow Rider in this world, it undoubtedly would be Hans.
As a former owner of a top 10000 global enterprise, Hans had a glorious past, just consider Galactic Warfare itself, during the Revenge Shadow Rider era, when this game's player base soared and broke through billions, only to watch one battle of Revenge Shadow Rider.
Adams nodded in agreement, he certainly knew about this matter, though he wasn't much concerned about the company itself, yet he understood the trends of that time.
Amelia further explained, precisely because of Revenge Shadow Rider's departure, combined with a virus outbreak, Galactic Warfare company slid from a global giant to becoming a first-tier company instantly, then within four years, due to the virus's continued spread, it further downgraded to a third-tier company.
Simply put, Galactic Warfare had numerous pathways to pursue, primarily for commercial purposes; even by making some Revenge Shadow Rider-related merchandise or holding special events, or accepting interview sponsorships from variety shows, Galactic Warfare could leap forward from a third-tier enterprise almost instantly.
It might advance by one step, or maybe two.
After all, Revenge Shadow Rider's presence was too special, and Galactic Warfare was the only one connected to it, even a mere call could lead countless people to donate to Galactic Warfare company despite their financial difficulties.
Yet Galactic Warfare closed all channels, even those related activities were not organized, leaving piles of money unearned, obviously, indicating a problem at the company's top leadership.
In fact, just as she said, Hans was precisely the type to refuse money, barely surviving while sleeping, to avoid linking Revenge Shadow Rider and any commercial-related words, Hans destroyed all of Galactic Warfare's alternatives, simply and violently. Anyone trying to connect with Revenge Shadow Rider, be it a corporation or individual, would find a lawyer's invitation from Hans on their doorstep, sparking unsolvable conflicts.
And for the olive branches from the outside, Hans ignored them completely, unmoved by money, unfazed by fame and fortune.
The problem was that no force dared to challenge Hans, because such an issue had occurred. Some bigwig had approached Hans, using coercion and enticement, and the very next day, evidence of his crimes was exposed, leading to imprisonment from top to bottom, possibly for life. Some called it a miracle of Revenge Shadow Rider, others had different opinions...
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, on the contrary, Amelia considered it a coincidence, but when coincidences happen continuously to one person, she couldn't help but think of Feng Yi, perhaps he wasn't dead, because he had previously mentioned wanting a secluded life in the countryside, going somewhere faraway.
(Eggy observing...)
In any case, Hans was such a patient with unstable nerves, without doubt; he could abandon everything for Revenge Shadow Rider, and those attempting to mess with him through extraordinary means ended up getting messed with by an unknown force.
So... of course what she's trying to express is not this, but rather the notion that a person like Hans won't connect Revenge Shadow Rider with anything for any reason.
But just yesterday, with the update announcement of Galactic Warfare, he surprisingly wrote a title about Revenge Shadow Rider at the top of the official website.
The lifeless official forum exploded overnight, with topic posts from that single night exceeding by far the total sum of Galactic Warfare's over the past four years.
But that's not the point she wished to convey; rather, if Hans released the news, he must have learned it through some unknown channel about Revenge Shadow Rider, perhaps even directly informed by Revenge Shadow Rider.
Though even she felt it unlikely, things would seem peculiar if Hans said them himself; now, Amelia very much wanted to find Hans, or through special clearance, see this person face-to-face for an inquiry.
But she knew well enough—it was beyond her reach, even if the Heavenly Kings approached Hans, he wouldn't disclose any information about Revenge Shadow Rider, unless he chose to, or received permission from Revenge Shadow Rider, otherwise nothing could work.
"My words are done, Mr. President, I suggest it might be beneficial to learn more about Hans; the information he released is worth contemplating."
Adams was utterly shocked! It wasn't Hans who shocked him, nor Hans's madness; if everything Amelia said held true, then certainly, Hans wouldn't casually release news of Revenge Shadow Rider's return!
