Chapter 119
Julius adjusted his tie, dismissing Ellinor’s provocation “Ha! We won, didn’t we? There’s no need for a rematch, right? I ain’t got time for this
Ellinor remained calm, pulling out her phone to play a video she had just recorded
Tve gol footage of you guys ganging up on Byran If you don’t agree to a rematch, I have to call the cops! Let’s see if your families care more about getting the Pearl Moon, or if they’re scared you’ll get a criminal record and beg us to drop the case!”
“You.” Julius was at a loss for words. They had already tried and failed to beat this woman, even worse, they couldn’t even get close to herl
“Finel One more match it is! You think we’d lose a garne to a girl like you?!”
Ellinor responded coolly. “We don’t have an eSports room here, so let’s play a mobile gamel You guys know how, right?”
“Of course!” Julius laughed confidently at the mention of a mobile game. Just to be clear, we can have a rematch, but I’m raising the stakes!”
“What are you raising?” Ellinor asked.
“If you win, I’ll hand over the bet agreement for you to shred. But if we win again, you have to delete the video in front of us, transfer the Pearl Moon to me, and make Byran apologize to us on a live broadcast!”
Without hesitation, Ellinor agreed. ‘Fine by me.”
Byran, however, was fuming “Ellinor, who gave you the right to speak for me?! Are you trying to make me look even worse?!”
Ignoring him, Ellinor shot back, “You’re already a laughing stock as it is!”
Blushing in embarrassment and anger, Byran muttered. “The Pearl Moon is of great importance to the Howard family, we can’t let anyone else have it!”
Mockingly, Ellinor retorted, “Then why did you bet it?”
Left speechless, Byran started to question whether Ellinor was really there to help him or if she was a spy sent by the enemy.
Once everyone agreed to a rematch, they tidied up and returned to the banquet hall, finding a quiet lounge area to sit down.
Julius and his crew a group of five, formed a team.
Ellinor and Byran, however, only had each other They’d have to rely on randomly matched teammates, who could very likely be beginners.
Feeling the pressure, Byran sat next to Ellinor, asking her seriously, “How good are you? What’s your level?”
“I’m not very good, level 0 Ellinor replied nonchalantly.
Byran’s face turned ashen, almost tearful. “You you want a rematch with them; you must be trying to sabotage me!”
Ellinor smiled, “Relax what if we get paired with a pro?”
Byran was far from relaxed, he was totally freaked out!
The chances of getting paired with a pro were slim to none, maybe even less than a pie falling from the sky!
While he had confidence in his gaming skills, Ellinor, being a newbie, was a definite handicap.
Plus, their random teammates, who weren’t very good at gaming, would surely lead to their defeat.
If he lost ownership of Pearl Moon, he wouldn’t be able to face his father and brother.
Worse still, he’d have to apologize to that jerk Julius on a live broadcast
Damn! What on earth was Ellinor thinking?!
