The opinions of the global network towards Star Wars were mixed. Some praised its triumphant return in full glory, while others called it akin to reheating cold rice, initially bland but eventually warm. Regardless, the once struggling Star Wars franchise finally made it through its most difficult period. The path ahead for Star Wars might be like a runaway horse, running wild and unfettered.

Before all these, what Star Wars Corporation needed most was undoubtedly promotion, which could also be described as contention at the level of a general. This level in the game comes close to the Red Cloak standard. Regrettably, through his internal network scanning, Hans observed that so far, the most advanced players matched in the Sky Ladder only reached the standard of high-ranking pilots, which was a far cry from Red Cloak.

What now? Hans wasn't a god, merely a human; amid the long waiting period, all he could do was pin his hopes on the players. If anyone were capable of turning the tide, that person would undoubtedly be... Revenge Shadow Rider, a faith that he furiously pursued.

Thinking of Revenge Shadow Rider gave Hans a sudden surge of drive, and he randomly ran and fixated his gaze on the single throughput communicator, truly believing that Revenge Shadow Rider would eventually send a message.

Hans could only be described as deranged; in others' eyes, he might be a shrewd businessman with impressive professional competency. Or perhaps, in others' eyes, he was a die-hard fan of Revenge Shadow Rider.

However, only his wife knew that this low-profile man was actually timid and hesitant. It was not that he was entirely worthless, but he lacked significant abilities or talents. If it weren't for the collaboration with Revenge Shadow Rider several years ago, their family may still be drifting amidst wars, leading an ordinary life of nine-to-five jobs.

He was indeed an average citizen, deferential to leaders and panicking in face of significant events. Yet, even such a timid man had his untouchable bottom line.

Hans was particularly earnest about the topic of Shadow Rider. He wouldn't tolerate any negative comments about Shadow Rider. That time on the street, he ended up in a fierce dispute then a physical fight just because of a pedestrian's negative remark about Shadow Rider. The incident finally led to Hans being rehabilitated by the judicial department for a week. His unwavering support for Shadow Rider even surpassed his devotion to his family, proving to his household that they had a man standing behind them.

Although Hans was neither foolish nor stupid, for an unknown reason, this obscure man often did unreasonable things because of Revenge Shadow Rider, like a schizophrenic. Perhaps it was due to Shadow Rider's assistance to their family.

Not to mention his family, sometimes even Hans himself couldn't fathom his own actions. Yet, when it came to Revenge Shadow Rider, he was more persistent than anyone else. At this moment, he was motionlessly sitting in front of the communicator, waiting for a message from Shadow Rider. It could be a day, or a year, but Shadow Rider would show up one day.

Before long, the single throughput Heavenly Communication device really buzzed. For Hans, this was an unexpected delight far more shocking than the Bounty Tribe sponsorship money. As if a sinful man received redemption, he reverently closed his eyes.

Instead of checking the communicator right away, Hans anxiously closed the doors and windows. He wanted to greet this moment with utmost sincerity. His gaze slowly swept over the subtitles which read: "Eight o'clock tonight, Galactic Warfare, Battle!"

After silently reading the sentence, Hans's eyes welled up with tears...

Fight? Fight... Fight.

"Yeah, fight!" Residents' calm was abruptly shattered by a roar, like a thunder tearing through the darkness.

It was time to post a real official announcement. Hans, filled with emotion, grabbed his phone and dialed a number...

The server had just finished maintenance when a notice for second round emergency maintenance emerged. An act impacting user experience was an absurdly lethal behavior for game manufacturers. However, after seeing the notice, players weren't angry. Instead, they tried to log onto the server at an even faster speed...

The website homepage instantly became occupied by a banner headline: "Eight p.m., Shadow Rider online. Who dares to fight?"

In a mere 20 minutes, the eye-catching title explosively spread across the Federation. As time went on, the oncoming storm of Revenge Rider spread and raged...

Those couples and pedestrians on the streets, and even popular livestreamers outdoors immediately switched their streams at the first instance. Catching the momentum of Shadow Rider was a must. Even if the four popular commentators could bring traffic for Star Wars, compared to Revenge Shadow Rider, it was merely a flicker under the bright moon."

Several media outlets swarmed into the building of Star Wars Corporation like daredevils. When all the streets were jammed, and when they saw Hans, the gossip reporters instantly gathered around him.

"Mr. Hans, aren't you afraid of being boycotted by major online game media with such high-profile promotion?"

"I'm scared. But you can gather their parents to boycott me together." Hans confidently replied, pointing at the camera.

"Is your news true? You know if it's false, it can amount to a major financial fraud."

"Are you questioning me, or Revenge Shadow Rider?" Hans stepped away. He wasn't at leisure to waste words with this gang of paparazzi. He needed to shortlist strong opponents as quickly as possible. Red Cloaks were indeed powerful. Unfortunately, they were no match to Shadow Rider.

Because time was pressing, it was now too late to find VIP guests. Hans could only try to contact the Military Department through his various connections. Fortunately, through various channels, he got connected to a friend at Wind Thunder Military Academy who was able to reach Mu Tou, the super soldier.

However, Mu Tou wasn't quite suitable for this occasion. Coincidentally, Sky Shadow wished to observe Revenge Shadow Rider at close quarters. After some back and forth, he took over the task. He considered Mu Tou as a friend but always kept him at arm's length.

The FCA also wasn't unfamiliar with Revenge Shadow Rider. The Top 100 Test War was still fresh in everyone's memory. Upon receiving the news, Raymond couldn't sit still. Revenge Shadow Rider, hmm! He had long wanted to have a taste of his abilities.

Of course, Raymond wasn't the only expert who wanted to compete with Revenge Shadow Rider. Princess Dilia, for instance, was eager to meet Revenge Shadow Rider as well. However, Dilia was self-aware enough to realize that she didn't stand much of a chance against Revenge Shadow Rider. She quietly dialed a special number belonging to the Military Department's Heavenly Communication.

The light screen popped up with a handsome face: "Your highness."

A charming smile appeared at the corner of Dilia's mouth. She replied charmingly, "Mr. Xuan Yu, are you interested in online battling?"

"I don't know much about it. What does your highness mean...?"

"There's an online battle player called Revenge Shadow Rider. His battle style is peculiar, but his thinking is extremely sharp, and his moves are endlessly innovative. He is definitely a worthy model for our high-ranking pilots to learn from. I'm sorry to bother you, but I hope you can force all his cards out of his hands."

Xuan Yu was slightly taken aback, "Is your highness not his match?"

"Correct, I am currently unable to defeat him."

"If this is your highness's wish, I am willing to serve you."

"Thank you. I will instruct the Military Department to make arrangements for you as soon as possible."

"At your service."
