My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 53

He was the most skilled player throughout the entire server and was the first account to achieve the level of a Godly character. How could he have such a stubborn son?

Sophia immediately brought her wife and son to sneak away. If Scary Phoenix returned to his senses and flew into a rage before killing all of the bystanders, it would be interesting to watch.

What she did not expect was to see the public comment that he tagged her in when she was about to leave the game. ‘Sirius233, I heard that you want to be my husband?’ Oh, no!

Sophia and all the bystanders were petrified upon hearing that.

Those present in the game fell eerily silent while the bystanders who were eagerly leaving the server returned. Oh my, are we witnessing something incredible here?

A system message had popped up under everyone’s attention: Sirius233 had gone offline.

‘Tsk!’

There were irritated murmurs in the comments section, but everything seemed to be within their expectations—Sirius233 had damaged Scary Phoenix’s reputation by scaring his son off. Of course Scary Phoenix would hold a grudge against Sirius233.

Sirius233 is in trouble now. She probably will not dare to appear online anymore. After all, she has offended the first Godly character in this game!

After Sophia logged out of the game, she stomped her foot in annoyance. Damn it, I can’t play this game anymore. I am targeted by the most powerful player in the server who has a god-tier account. Indeed, one will have to pay for their sins once they have dirtied their hands.

As she had invested millions in this game, she felt incredibly resentful if she left just like that or trained another account from scratch.

Nathan was still in the game, so Sophia quickly walked over to switch off his laptop. “Darling, why are you still in the game? Quickly log out now!”

However, as soon as she looked closer at the screen, she was immediately shocked as his game interface was frozen, as if someone had controlled his laptop remotely. Nate could not do anything, including logging out of the game.

Scary Phoenix suddenly proposed to Sirius233 to marry him as his wife in the game.

There was no mistake about this—he wanted Sirius233 to be his wife.

For the first time in the history of the ‘Swordsman Game’, a gay marriage had taken place.

Scary Phoenix wanted to marry Sirius233—known as the most handsome, richest, and tallest man who fooled around with many women—as his wife.

A group of fujoshis rushed out. ‘This is so romantic! A god-tier level character as the dominant lover and a playboy as the receiving partner? Oh my God!’

‘I can’t help it anymore. My imagination is running wild. Argh! The scene is too beautiful for me to imagine!’

‘Oh my God! Quickly agree to his proposal!’

‘Sirius, you better appear now. If you don’t, I’m willing to take your place. Please marry me, Lord!’

Sophia’s jaw dropped as she looked at Scary Phoenix holding Nathan’s character hostage. She immediately turned off the Internet and logged out of the game before logging in again. However, she was notified by the system that the account in question could no longer be logged in.

How did this happen?

Is the ‘Swordsman Game’ going haywire?

Is the system hacked?

Scary Phoenix has kidnapped my son!

She quickly logged into her side account and rushed to the place where Scary Phoenix stood. Then, she saw that Nathan was still in Scary Phoenix’s arms when he announced. ‘Sirius233, your son, NateHiro, is in my hands. The day you marry me will be the day I shall return him to you.’

Sophia was shocked beyond belief when she saw that. What is this? Threatening me using my son? How can Scary Phoenix think that he can control me this way?

Although others might have thought that NateHiro was merely her virtual son and not her biological son, he actually was her son in reality! Out of all the sons that I have in the game, why did he kidnap the most special one?

Nathan, who was suddenly implicated without doing anything, tearfully looked at Sophia with his face puffed up again. Upon seeing this, she quickly consoled him. “Don’t cry, darling. I’ll definitely get your account back!”

Using her side account, she began to change the direction of the topic. ‘Tsk! Scary Phoenix, are you crazy? NateHiro is obviously his side account. It’s merely Sirius233’s fake son, not his biological son. How is it possible that Sirius233 would marry Scary Phoenix for the sake of a fake son?’

The rest also agreed. After all, Sirius233 was a famous character in the game and probably a rich, handsome man in real life. If he was being humiliated by marrying another man, he would probably be disgusted that he might puke on the food that he ate yesterday night. On top of it, would he really marry a player of the same gender for the sake of a fake son in the game?

Hence, the crowd offered other solutions. ‘Lord Scary Phoenix, just throw in the towel. This account is merely a side account that Sirius233 has acknowledged for only a few days. He will not agree to your proposal because of this son!’

‘Lord, why don’t you marry me instead? I’m Sirius’s third wife. Back then, when Sirius wanted to marry me, he kneeled in front of the Temple of Love for half a month. If you marry me, it would be more humiliating to him!’

‘Or you can marry me as well! I’m Sirius’s 8th wife. Back then, everyone knew how he courted me too!’

‘Me! Me! Me! I am also Sirius’s son. Why don’t you kidnap me instead? Please!’

However, Scary Phoenix was not influenced by any of them and sent another message. ‘Sirius, my patience is limited.’

With that, he went offline with Nathan.

Sophia immediately tried to log into Nathan’s account, but to no avail. The account had been completely locked and its password seemed to have changed as well.

As she caressed his hair, she said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll be able to log in tomorrow. It’ll be alright.”

However, that was not the case. On the second day, when Sophia opened her eyes, she woke up and immediately switched on her laptop to try logging into his account again. However, the system still showed an error message—his account had been frozen without any reason.

When she asked Hale to call the gaming company to ask about it, he replied, “They said that this is the latest kidnapping functionality that they have introduced in the game, so Nate’s account has been legitimately frozen. They can’t activate it for you without any reason given.”

“What? There’s such a function?” Sophia was dumbfounded upon hearing that and prepared to resolve the matter with money. “Call them again and inform them that I’ll top up 100,000 coins in the game. Then, ask them to activate the account for me.”

Hale shrugged and shook his head. “This is the rules of the game. ‘Swordsman Game’ is a game that strongly follows their principles. According to the rules, your son has been kidnapped due to your incompetence. You can only take him back in the game.”

Thud!

Upon hearing that, Nathan, who was next to them, dropped his little frog to the ground and almost burst into tears as a result.

Sophia’s heart hardened. “Can you investigate the true identity of Scary Phoenix in the game? I’ll deal with him in real life and see if he dares to hold my son hostage any longer.”

Hale continued to shake his head. “As I said earlier, ‘Swordsman Game’ strongly sticks to their principles. They will never reveal the players’ information.”

It made sense, seeing that she had offended numerous people in the game, who would like to kill her in the game and in reality. However, ‘Swordsman Game’ refused to leak her personal information to anyone. Otherwise, she would have received many death threats by now!

Even so, this probably would not have affected her as she had used Hale’s details when she registered her account.

Not having other ways to resolve the matter at hand, she questioned herself, Do I really have to marry Scary Phoenix? I am a man in the game! A man! The Most Handsome and Wealthiest in the game! If I really marry Scary Phoenix, how will I continue playing?

However, as soon as Sophia lowered her head, she saw Nathan, who was profusely crying. Then, her heart softened immediately.

She made up her mind and immediately logged into her main account, but she remained invisible online. Without another word, she immediately transferred 100,000 coins in the game to Scary Phoenix. ‘Lord, please take this small amount of money to buy some drinks. Hope it’ll appease you. Can you please release my son first? I’m sure we can talk everything out.’

However, not only did Scary Phoenix reject it, but he transferred a million coins to her in return. ‘Marry me or be banned from this game forever. You only have these two choices now.’

F*ck! “So what if you’re rich!”

Sophia logged out of the game with anger. However, when she lowered her head, she saw Nathan’s sad face and immediately felt conflicted as she could not resist his cute face!
