Chapter 346
The four guys quivered, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start,
“How long have you been watching?” Pearl asked nonchalantly.
started k*ssing.”
RadishX was an honest kid. “We’ve been watching since you
Pearl felt her blood pressure surge, but after all, they had indulged in something private in a public place, so she couldn’t really blame these guys. Eventually, she let the matter slide.
During the next day’s practice, the four of them couldn’t meet Pearl’s gaze. She sensed their unease throughout the session and suggested ending it early—a proposal they all agreed to without hesitation. After all, the bonding was pretty much done, and there was no fun in practicing further when there wasn’t much more to learn.
As they bid Pearl farewell with relieved smiles, the tension eased.
Soon, the day of the match arrived. Pearl accompanied Felix and the rest in their car to the competition venue.
As soon as they entered the venue, a burly man approached them. Sporting a one-inch scar on his brow, he gave them a somewhat intimidating appearance, coupled with a smile that
seemed rather malicious.
Alarm bells rang in Pearl’s mind as she watched Felix exchange pleasantries with him. She realized he was their ultimate opponent-the captain of AD E-sports team, Draco Murray.
As the match would be broadcast live, a crowd of fans and journalists had gathered outside.
Addressing the reporters, Draco chuckled. “I have full confidence in our team. AD will surely beat FX.”
Felix remained unfazed by the taunts. When handed the microphone, he simply quipped, ” Where do we claim our rewards after the match?”
The crowd fell silent.
Soon, it was time for the match. Pearl and Felix settled into their seats, donned their headphones, and immersed themselves in battle mode.
During the hero selection phase, they encountered a big problem: the opponent banned all the support heroes RadishX excelled at, making RadishX flustered.
“It seems they’ve planned this. They’ve researched RadishX’s commonly used heroes in
advance to target him.” Felix frowned, feeling a little worried.
Pearl, however, remained composed. “It’s fine, RadishX, choose Yorgu and follow my lead.”
BirdsofPrey tried to dissuade her, “Pearl, using the Hero Link feature makes you an easy target. Aren’t you worried?”
“Not at all, as long as we coordinate well.”
Gritting his teeth, RadishX selected Yorgu.
The match began, and to everyone’s surprise, RadishX gave away first blood, and the
“Sorry, Pearl, I…”
“It’s alright, take your time.”
Pearl focused on controlling her hero. Playing as Lunaelle, her skills were exceptionally agile. She quickly dodged all the skills, simultaneously sending the opponents back to their base and securing a double kill.
Soon, the game ended, and Pearl’s team secured a resounding victory.
“It’s ridiculous! They even have a girl playing a lousy support role on their side.”
“This Yorgu is disgusting. He always jumps in at the worst moments, getting us counter- killed.”
When Pearl took off her headphones, she heard these comments and couldn’t help chuckling.
RadishX frowned. “Pearl, why aren’t you angry? They’re insulting us!”
Pearl arched an eyebrow, looking unimpressed. “They’re praising you. Praising how well you play Yorgu that it disgusts them.”
Looking at it from another perspective, that was indeed the case.
RadishX chuckled. “So, when they said you’re only good as support, is that praise for you too?”
Pearl rolled her eyes. “That means they’re complete idiots. I’m clearly playing as a marksman. Do they even understand this game?”
The opponents stood up in anger after hearing Pearl’s response.
