Madilyn felt somewhat embarrassed to be exposed by this player in front of Archie and Benny. Wanting to put Ocean Blue in place, she taunted: Blue, let’s play a few more rounds. I’d like to see where you get that confidence of yours from. My godsons are with me today, so don’t ever think of winning at all!
Yet Ocean Blue only sent a series of mocking emojis in return, which infuriated Madilyn. Nevertheless, he gladly accepted the challenge and changed the game format from five versus five to three versus three. He also removed the teammates randomly assigned to him and asked two friends to help him instead.
Benny swiftly looked into their opponents’ details and found out which characters they each mastered. “Archie, they’re all skilled players, so it won’t be as easy to beat them this time. We have to give it our all!”
Archie nodded firmly. Turning to Madilyn, he reminded, “Aunt Madilyn, you should be careful from now on. Don’t be reckless, and try not to get killed repeatedly. That’ll affect our team’s overall performance.”
“Sure. I’ll do whatever you say as long as we can defeat them!” Madilyn agreed readily. Soon, the battle began. The players from both teams utilized the best skills they had and launched the strongest attacks at each other.
As Madilyn concentrated on the game, she felt. adrenaline surging through her body. Conversely, Archie and Benny appeared relaxed as usual, but they looked more focused than earlier.
“Retreat! Aunt Madilyn, retreat first. Don’t let them kill you!” ordered Archie, the commander of the team. Benny was quick to act. Upon noticing that Madilyn was having a hard time retreating and that her health points were dwindling, he stepped forward and repulsed the enemy in an instant.
The match grew more and more intense. After being killed by Archie, Ocean Blue messaged: Both of you are indeed skilled players, but you’ll be bogged down by Jenny! Madilyn almost exploded in rage at his words, but Archie comforted her right away.
“Don’t mind him, Aunt Madilyn. He’s just trying to destroy our morale. He wants to disrupt our cooperation by distracting you.”
Benny bobbed his head in agreement. He also complimented Madilyn and told her she was getting better at the game. Never in Madilyn’s dreams did she expect that she’d be so moved by the consolation between two little boys.
“All right, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you guys. I’ll keep my emotions in check!” As Madilyn calmed down and got herself together, she started to see improvements in her skills.
To her delight, they won the first round. The second round also ended in their favor, though it was a close call as their enemies’ teamwork was getting more efficient.
In the third round, Madilyn gradually got the hang of it and chose the supporting role in the game to assist her two godsons.
This setup was surprisingly effective. Unable to withstand Archie’s and Benny’s rapid and overwhelming attacks, the opponents were defeated sooner compared to the second round. Following the victorious match, Madilyn was on cloud nine.
“Aunt Madilyn, I noticed that supporting characters suit you the best. You’re very talented in that aspect,” Archie pointed out thoughtfully.
“That’s right. Your move earlier was crucial! I initially thought our opponents would become more powerful in the third round, but I didn’t expect our damage rate to soar like that when you began assisting us. It allowed us to win faster!” Benny exclaimed, showering Madilyn with praises.
Madilyn was elated. After all, it was not every day that she received praise from these two boys. Meanwhile, their opponents stayed silent for a long time after the crushing defeat. Madilyn wasn’t sure if they were conversing among themselves as they hadn’t quit the game yet.
Sometime later, the deep and attractive voice of a man sounded. “Could your godsons be those two boys from the Farwell family? If they are, I gladly accept defeat. Is my guess correct?”
