To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 523: Chapter 306: Go Back (second update)_3

Fang Cheng didn’t know what he’d been through, but he could tell one thing, this person shared some kind of connection with him.

However, now was not the time, so he retracted his gaze and looked at Landick, asking, “So, what is it you wanted to see me about?”

“I want to acquire your studio. Not in the name of the company, but personally. I have played every game you’ve made, and I must say, they’re the work of a genius, the pinnacle of what can be achieved in our era. You, with such talent, should not be confined to the land of Huaxia, you deserve a much grander stage.”

If it was a normal person, they would already be swayed by this point.

Who is Landick?

He is the CEO of Druid Entertainment, the leader of this vast entertainment corporation, a T0 presence among the large game companies in North America.

...

Even with continual negative news online, he still possesses an unrivaled radiance, a figure known to every gamer out there.

For a regular game developer, being seriously praised by such a major figure would be overwhelming; they would quickly regard him as a confidant, and then it would be his home turf.

Noticing that Fang Cheng didn’t speak, Landick continued, “I am about to retire, so I hope to have my own stage in Huaxia. I’ve made many games I didn’t want to make for the sake of capital, but seeing you reminded me of my original passion for game development. I wish to work alongside you, to contribute my last bit of strength to the gaming industry.”

Upon hearing this, Leon almost started clapping and cheering for him.

To lie so grandiosely and sincerely, Landick was indeed the most despicable person he had ever encountered.

But it had to be admitted, such individuals often did very well for themselves.

Coming on strong with his reputation, those unaware of the situation might be immediately overwhelmed and believe he truly had their best interests at heart.

Finding that Fang Cheng was still silent, Landick carried on, “Today is only about the intention to acquire, but you must believe, I have no ulterior motives. The company board’s acquisition offer is 1.5 billion US dollars, but I think you deserve better, so I’ll help convince them and raise the price to 2 billion.”

As Leon translated, he observed Landick, reflecting on how perfectly suited he was for the CEO role.

The board had given a price of 2.5 billion, and this guy chopped it down only to raise it again, appearing like an elder considering his juniors’ welfare. Who could guess the number of tricks he had used?

Faced with Landick’s enticing persuasion, Fang Cheng asked one question, “Do you remember Wang Say Games?”

“Who is that?” Landick asked instinctively.

The moment Leon heard this question, he knew it was bad.

The notorious “Loyalty” incident had caused an uproar, eventually even leading to a significant showdown event, and yet Landick appeared utterly ignorant of it.

Had he paid even the slightest attention, he would’ve known the details of the incident, and certainly wouldn’t have responded like this.

Fang Cheng then nodded, “That’s enough, no need to talk further. You can go back, Landick.”

“Wait a moment.” Landick immediately called out to Fang Cheng, “You seem to have misunderstood me; what I mean is, I can offer you an entry pass into the North American gaming circle. Think about it, it’s a very promising career. The embargo in the North American gaming circle could be lifted too; you could gain more profit, a better environment, more…”

Interrupting Landick, Fang Cheng said again, “Go back.”
