Chapter 621: Heartache
"This is the X-ray image of Almighty Qin's hand injury. According to the principal doctor, he won't be able to participate in the competition or he might never be able to play esports again."
Bo Jiu froze, forgetting to remove her mask.
While they were competing, Almighty's injury had been mentioned, but she had assumed that he had fully recovered when he decided to participate in the competition.
Why...?
"You are the only person I informed," Feng Yi continued, tilting his head over towards the window. " None of the other members are aware that he hasn't recovered and if the principal doctor hadn't called me, even I would've been kept in the dark."
His words plunged the atmosphere, silence sinking over them.
After a long while the youngster finally spoke, her gaze deep. "Brother Mo won't give up on the competition, he has been persisting all this while."
Feng Yi paused. "You are right."
"I'll find him tomorrow." Bo Jiu stood up. "I understand what you mean, he needs to receive treatment."
But at the same time, Bo Jiu understood what it meant for the Almighty if he were to miss the National League.
Bo Jiu realized that she had been mistaken when the Almighty mentioned that he might miss out on a match; she had assumed he was going to investigate Z.
However, she understood now that it wasn't because of the police, but rather that his injury had reached its limits.
He didn't want the opponents to spot his weakness at the start of the competition and thus wanted to sit out for the first two matches.
Regular matches weren't an issue, but once he was on a professional group, it was a whole new game as there he had to be agile and that would pose more stress on his injury.
Besides, the Three Thousand Knife Cutting skill the Almighty unleashed was a special skill which didn't just rely on agility, the wrist strength was also of utmost importance, which would pose more pressure on his wrist.
The National League wasn't as easy as the previous friendly matches.
Especially the impending battle with Xiangnan Team, regardless of whether it was 1v1 or 5v5, they wouldn't be able to win if the Almighty didn't unleash his Three Thousand Knife Cutting skill.
With her understanding of the Almighty, the Three Thousand Knife Cutting skill would be detrimental.
Even though he was aware of his condition, he still decided to use the skill continuously at the latter half of the competition and especially during the match against Xiangnan.
In order for the Supreme Alliance to win the National League, he was prepared to stake his future esports career because otherwise, the Almighty would never have kept his injury a secret.
He didn't want any resistance after the others were to find out and he didn't wish for anyone to feel burdened.
From the start, Bo Jiu had already mentioned she wouldn't be able to bear to see him lose and leave his divine spot.
Someone as ravishing and morally upright as the Almighty didn't deserve to leave with such regrets.
This was the first time her heart ached for someone else.
Bo Jiu's thoughts were her priority.
Forget her selfishness, the people around her carried the highest priority.
The youngster lowered her lids, swiping into her email, pausing all operations to track the imposter of Z, covering up her tracks.
From today onwards, she had to win...
Chapter 622: Wake Up the Almighty
News of the National League flooded all media platforms.
As Feng Yi had said, no one else in the team was aware of Qin Mo's injury.
Many had been anticipating this day: Lin Feng, the older players, and even newer players like Xue Yaoyao.
The National League wasn't just a competition for them, but a chance to prove themselves to all those who had mocked and looked down on them — and to fight as a team.
Xue Yaoyao couldn't explain her emotions. After jogging the entire day, her heart started beating strongly when she caught sight of the marking on the calendar.
Yun Hu and Lin Feng were still practicing their finger agility. For 365 days, they had poured their time into it whilst others pondered about their obsession over gaming.
No effort should be left unrewarded, but these rewards were usually attributed to someone's hard work.
At the morning, the warm rays fell through the window into a room.
Regardless of how smart Almighty Qin was, he would have never expected to see the youngster sitting in his room the moment he opened his eyes.
The youngster sat next to the window, a cup of milk in his hand as she fed his cat.
But the cat obviously wasn't interested.
The youngster dripped some milk onto his hands, he didn't bother about the cat's wishes, pushing his finger over.
His inexperience was apparent.
It was true, Bo Jiu had never reared pets before.
After she had arrived, Movie Queen An had entrusted her with two tasks: Wake up the Almighty and feed his cat.
She concluded that letting him wake up naturally would be better and thus she decided to work on the second task.
But who would have expected the Almighty's cat to despise hotties, he had a dignified and aloof attitude, his expression one of distaste.
"If you continue to act like this, I'm going to shave off all your hair."
Her small threat was heard by Qin Mo.
Qin Mo raised a brow, his morning voice slightly raspy, but still silky smooth. "Princess, come over."
The moment the cat heard his voice, he reacted with a purr, pouncing into the ravishing man's arms like a docile peasant.
What happened to your dignity? Bo Jiu placed the milk down, glancing at the fat cat.
The fat cat seemed to have sensed her scrutiny, he turned and gave Bo Jiu a distasteful gaze.
Bo Jiu chucked. "Brother Mo, how does roasted cat paws for breakfast sound like?"
"Be careful, he might take it for real and decide to hurt you." Qin Mo glanced over at the youngster, having no intention on getting up.
Bo Jiu lifted a brow. "Such a shrewd, she must be a female."
"It's a male." Qin Mo caressed the cat's body with one hand, half his body leaning against the bed frame.
Bo Jiu stilled slightly. "You name a male cat princess?"
"What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?" Qin Mo lifted a brow questioningly.
Bo Jiu smiled. "It's great, Princess, come on and meow."
Fat Cat: ... F*ck, this suspicious human, I can sense that mockery, what's wrong with naming a male cat Princess?! What's wrong?!
Qin Mo glanced at the infuriated cat, lifting his brows once more. "How did you manage to anger him? He usually doesn't treat guys like that."
That's because I'm not a guy , Bo Jiu answered in her mind. Leaning her chin onto the back of the chair as she eyed the cat. She guessed that he had caught her scent. She lifted her lips slightly. "I'm not sure, maybe it's the first time, he probably finds me to handsome and is starting to feel jealous."
Qin Mo glanced over at the youngster, his gaze landing on his long slender legs, his gaze and throat deepening...
Chapter 623: Spreading Sweets
Restricting his thoughts wasn't hard, but the irresistible and immediate pull he had whenever he saw the youngster was a whole new experience.
After calming down, he concluded that their current position was comfortable enough.
The youngster sat near him, finding him pleasing to the eyes.
Next, the youngster moved the chair forward inch by inch until there finally wasn't any more space. "Brother Mo, are you open to having disciples?"
"What are you up to now?" Qin Mo glanced at the face which was so near to his, there were even traces of fur on the youngster's flawless pale skin.
Bo Jiu curved her lips. "There's a mission which requires a master and his disciple, Brother Mo. You can take the chance to teach me your scholarly ways, using calculation to fight a 1v5."
Qin Mo released his cat. "You wish to change your battle technique?"
"To be more accurate." They didn't possess the same battle style. She wasn't going to change her technique, but it had to be improved.
As Qin Mo, fortunately, would never reject the youngster's request, he replied faintly, "Come over."
Student Bo Jiu's mind was filled with trying to improve herself and to raise her conditions. Hence, she didn't realize the position they were in.
Qin Mo hadn't realized it, too.
Bo Jiu held her phone while Qin Mo's arm went around the youngster to tap on the screen. "With your positioning, you should be able to use this formation to control the opponent, next, you have to calculate..."
His low voice made it seem as though he was explaining a physics question.
It was afterward when Qin Mo finally realized their position.
Surprisingly, someone was unusually obedient today.
Qin Mo glanced down at a certain someone in his embrace, who was busy plotting the formation. He resisted the urge to plant a kiss on the youngster.
But while the youngster wasn't paying attention, he snapped a photo.
The photo was filled with love, no one would think otherwise, but Qin Mo had mentioned it before, he had to let everyone know this person was his.
There were still comments for yesterday's Weibo, some of those jealousy souls were insistent that Spade Z was just putting on a show.
Qin Mo has always been extreme, he posted the photo he took, with a few words as a caption, "A certain someone came over to play games as a way to pacify me."
The moment it was released, many of them had a common sentiment.
"I knew they were going to flaunt their love! Why does it feel like I'm being tortured?!"
"Is he just playing games? Playing in the Almighty's arms? I want to play in my boyfriend's arms, too!"
"Little Spade is occupied with his game while Almighty Qin watches on, not forgetting to snap a photo, this... is leaving a space in my brain."
"There isn't much to be said, the two of them are dashing, plus, Almighty Qin must have just woke up. I just discovered another secret, how can he look so nourishing to the eye!"
"Almighty Qin, you have changed!"
Bo Jiu, who was currently the online victim of a few netizens, was completely unaware as she lowered her lids towards the screen. Once she completed the 1v5 mission, she spoke, "Brother Mo, I know about your hand injury."
Qin Mo frowned, he stopped browsing through his Weibo, his profile ravishing. "I was wondering where your obedience came from, are you here to convince me?"
"Convince?" The youngster placed his phone down, turning to press onto the bed, without bothering if she had squashed the cat's tail. Her gaze intensified. "I'm not here to convince you, I'm here to force you to get treatment."
Chapter 624: Uncontrollable
Qin Mo thought that the youngster would say more, but then again, he had never been one of many words.
But... Qin Mo glanced at the youngster, who had one arm positioned right next to him. He reached out an arm to tap his solemn looking face, his tone nonchalant. "With your stance, are you forcing me to receive treatment or forcing me to sleep with you?"
There were always coincidences because, at that moment, Aunt Zhang carried Princess, who had ran downstairs, back to Almighty Qin's room. She couldn't believe her eyes when she caught sight of them.
Princess, the fatty, mewed in her embrace, seemingly trying to say, "Weird human with the strange scent, let go of my owner!"
Bo Jiu turned towards the noise, taking in Aunt Zhang's expression.
There wasn't anything that could be said; her current stance was clear, she was forcing herself on Almighty Qin.
With the Almighty's words and her dark history, there was no point in clarifying.
Qin Mo caught sight of her as well, he lifted a brow, his voice calm. "Aunt Zhang, what is it?"
"No-no-no, I'm going to carry Princess away, you-you guys can continue..."
Aunt Zhang escaped and was left perplexed.
If it had been a girl, she would have understood, but Young Master Jiu...
She must have misread the situation!
But Young Master mentioned the word 'sleep'... it's a mess, everything is a mess!
Young Master Jiu harbored such intentions?
Aunt Zhang carried Princess, ignoring her purrs as she walked in a daze.
Back in the room, Bo Jiu was still staring at Qin Mo.
Almighty Qin's arm went around the youngster's waist and he smiled enigmatically. "Why? Aren't you going to continue forcing yourself onto me?"
Bo Jiu lifted her brows, pushing herself down, her breath falling onto his ears and her lips curved upwards. "Brother Mo, think about it, if something really goes wrong with your hand, even someone like me would be able to bring you down. Isn't that very dangerous? I'm complimenting your looks right now, it'll definitely make others unable to restrain themselves."
Qin Mo's gaze deepened, it was probably because he had seen the youngster cross-dress.
Now, whenever he pressed himself above him and was forcing himself onto him, his thoughts would run wild.
Since the youngster had volunteered himself so actively, he couldn't blame him.
Qin Mo exerted strength in his left hand, flipping him over, using the other hand to press his shoulders down. He glanced at the perfect collarbone which had been exposed, his lips zeroing in and his voice deep. "How are you going to not be able to restrain yourself?"
She never expected his move, his hot breath splashing onto her collarbone.
Most importantly, the Almighty actually bit her.
Really bit her.
Bo Jiu felt a second of existential crisis, but since she had already done her precaution measures before coming, the Almighty would never notice her secret. Hence, she remained motionless as any movement would endanger the bottom area of being found out.
Next time, she could be called binding expert and disguise master.
It was slightly painful and a little numb. In the end, she couldn't seem to describe the feeling.
Qin Mo lowered his head, his dark wispy hair hanging, shielding his expression, his gaze deep.
Her flesh, soft and tender, carried a coldness which was unique to the youngster. He wanted the youngster to be a part of him.
Chapter 625: Trust Me as I Trust You
"Hey, Brother Mo, are you a tiger, are you done?" Bo Jiu shifted, moving away from their intimate stance skillfully. "Even if you bite me, I'll have to force you to receive treatment." Bo Jiu poked his right hand. "There shouldn't be any flaws to this perfection, how are you going to catch criminals in the future?"
"You use your brains to catch criminals, not your hands." Qin Mo glanced at the youngster, the fallen strands of his hair looking extra ravishing. "I won't miss the National League this time. You don't have to say anymore, understand?"
Bo Jiu nodded. "So let's make some concessions, you head over to America for treatment and I'll fight the first few matches, making sure we reach the semifinals. I won't lose and I won't let Supreme Alliance lose."
Qin Mo didn't respond.
Bo Jiu lifted a brow, pulling onto his hand, she clenched her fist and placed it in his palm. "Brother Mo, you should trust me as I trust you. Besides, Hero is a game that depends on technique, if you use your Three Thousand Knife Cutting skill too many times during the earlier rounds, you won't be able to sustain for the latter half. With Xiangnan Team's skills, if your injury were to flare up, you won't be able to go all out, which would become a regret."
"Fifteen days." Qin Mo lifted his lids. "I will only be away for fifteen days and if anything comes up in these fifteen days, let me know."
Bo jiu laughed. "Sixteen, the extra day is for your flight."
Qin Mo didn't wish to argue on such trivial matters, he glanced at the mark he left on his collarbone, his gaze deepening. He pushed the youngster aside and grabbed a towel.
"Where are you going?" Bo Jiu stood up. How could he leave in the middle of a conversation?
Qin Mo didn't even turn around. "Want to shower together?"
"No thanks, I'm afraid your body would make me jealous." Bo Jiu randomly threw out an excuse. "I'm heading down to play games with Aunty. Brother Mo, once you are down, pack your stuff, I'll send you to the airport."
Qin Mo glanced at the youngster's back view, a certain hardened area having no intentions on softening.
He was going crazy.
Qin Mo bent down to loosen his pants, pulling his top out. He took a cold shower, the water shaking his body back to its senses.
But his thoughts were still filled with the same person.
That inner beast — he didn't know how long more he could keep it in.
If it wasn't that person, maybe he could be greedy, but because it was him, he wouldn't be able to withstand even the least bit of hatred or even distance.
After Qin Mo changed his clothes, he headed downstairs.
The background music from Hero was playing.
Movie Queen An was adorable as even when she gamed, she chattered on," What's wrong with this sorcerer, I'm almost done with this guy, but instead of continuing the battle, he actually went below the tower to beat the tower?!"
"There's more newcomers in the mobile version." The youngster laughed as he operated on the phone, not forgetting to tilt his head. "Wait for me in the bush."
Movie Queen An's spirit was lifted. Whenever she went into the bushes, it meant that Jiu was going to bring her along on his battles.
However, before the youngster could kill anyone, Qin Mo pulled his arm, speaking to him in a deep voice, "Aren't you sending me to the airport?"
"Now?" Bo Jiu chuckled. "Then I'll just have to abandon Aunty and leave my phone aside. I'll probably be nagged at for a long while."
Chapter 626: His Treasure
Movie Queen An couldn't understand the situation. "Why are you going to the airport? The National League starts tomorrow and the first round is in Jiang City, isn't it?" She came back specifically to watch the competition.
"Mmh," he replied, "Jiu would take care of it while I treat my hand."
Movie Queen An stilled, her gaze sweeping his arm a glance. "It hasn't recovered?"
"Mmh." Qin Mo didn't want the youngster to know that only his physiological issue had been resolved.
An elegant smile spread across her face. "I understand, go on. I'll get Deputy Zhang to follow along."
Qin Mo didn't reject her arrangement, it was best for the treatment to be kept under wraps. He was still holding onto the youngster, with no intention of letting go.
Movie Queen An glanced at their rear view, her voice filled with admiration. "Aunt Zhang, Mo is finally willing to have treatment on his own accord and with such ease, it seems so incredible."
"Yes, Madam." Aunt Zhang stood beside him.
Movie Queen An smiled. "He probably found someone reliable. Jiu is definitely his precious treasure."
The image from before emerged once again. Aunt Zhang wasn't sure how to reply, she couldn't just tell the Madam that Young Master Jiu almost had just forced himself on the Young Master.
But Young Master's attitude could probably be called very much willing.
Aunt Zhang had served the Qin family her entire life and had witnessed all sorts of events.
Even two soldiers were able to catch each other's eye, but it wasn't an easy path.
Hence, she decided to remain silent.
Deep inside, she hoped both young masters would be able to succeed.
However, not everyone thought the same.
Wu Zhen had already started to see the youngster negatively when she saw Qin Mo's post. She tightened her grip on the mouse and took a deep breath.
Actually, she couldn't understand it; she had loved him for such a long time, but he had never given her a response.
It was chilling, but she still loved him.
Maybe, it was time for her to change her tactic as her approach was different from the youngster's.
Wu Zhen lowered her lids. When the call went through, her first words to Han Susu were, "The youngster that you like so much is probably a gay..."
Han Susu couldn't process the rest of her words.
When she realized the person she liked was gay, all her dreams came crashing down.
It left her trust and support for Spade Z in vain.
The news caught her off guard.
"Disgusting." Han Susu rubbed her back. "That explains why he has never given me a response, I have been wrong all this time. I must expose him during the National League."
Wu Zhen frowned. "It won't be good for the Supreme Alliance, you should know the importance of the Supreme Alliance to Brother Mo."
"What should I do? I feel really disgusted right now."
Some feelings would morph and once this fondness started to morph, it would pose dangers.
Wu Zhen understood and thus wouldn't take action. She would let Han Susu know about it because when she could no longer keep it in, she would execute the actions and would even be grateful towards Wu Zhen.
In fact, Wu Zhen had only decided to tell her about it because she treated Han Susu as a younger sister.
A gay using his gender to approach other guys to the point it crossed the line and not even responding the person that liked him — such a presence betrayed the rules of this world.
Unknowingly, Wu Zhen started to view him negatively...
Chapter 627: Expose Spade Z!
"I can't just let my feelings go in vain," Han Susu continued, "I have to expose that bast*rd!"
After setting her mind to it, Han Susu hung up and started to plot...
Previously, she had always gathered her friends to support the youngster, all because of her feelings for him.
She attributed that youngster's lackluster response to his cold personality, but from the looks of things now, he was just a gay that kept pestering Brother Qin.
She wanted to see how he was going to play with ease once everything was exposed!
Her reaction was extreme.
Those that were being made use of would never realize it.
But even if they realized they had been made use of, they would be willing.
This was human nature.
I like you, hence, you are obligated to like me as well. I express my love for you in my own way, but you repay me with such disappointing respond.
Han Susu was a person who thought this.
This sort of person would always seek out their own justice.
She gathered all her friends and other fans, prepared to expose his facade.
That was Han Susu's objective. Besides, she felt let down and shortchanged for all she had done before, changing the nature of the matter entirely.
The gaming industry generally consisted of a younger crowd. They gathered together to have a discussion.
"If I had known he was gay, I would never have fallen for him."
"Previously, when I saw him with the Almighty, I would always find it loving, I can't believe he is really gay!"
"To think we helped boost his popularity every day, we must have been blind."
"There isn't anything wrong with being gay, he doesn't need to tell us about it."
"I really like him a lot, but this is the last straw."
All sorts of opinions came flooding onto the net.
It was clear some of the comments weren't by Spade Z's fans, but rather just Han Susu's friends that pretended to be fans.
The conversation centered around the topic being gay.
"I like you, how can you treat us like that?"
That was the general consensus.
Those who were just watching the drama were probably wondering what Spade Z had done to them.
The web managers came out for damage control, explaining the entire situation. "I shall not even bother to justify Big Spade's sexuality, but even if he is gay, did he cheat you of sex?"
"No, listen to me, Big Spade is gay and belongs to Almighty Qin. You guys can just give up, just go on with your life."
"Is this how he repays our support?"
"Even a passerby won't be able to look past this, how can Spade Z treat his fans like this?!"
"I'm confused, how did Big Spade treat his fans?"
"He didn't tell us that he is a gay"!"
The netizens commented vigorously, coming in swamps.
Feng Yi swept the comment section a glance, explaining hurriedly, "Even if Spade Z is gay, he isn't obliged to tell anyone. He is just an esports player who is required to do well in his game. Alright, continue to support the National League. Those who are lucky would be able to be there in person to support Big Spade."
Chapter 628: Jiu And Almighty Qin
In fact, real fans would never suspect their idols, forming a support system.
That persisted ever since the youngster had debuted.
They understood the youngster.
What was wrong with being gay if he hadn't caused any harm?
Hence, after Feng Yi posted, everyone gathered together to defend Big Spade with logic, justifying what sort of person he was.
Of course, there would be a layer of doubt.
Feng Yi was aware that some of them would never understand the harm they were causing, especially if there were anti-fans within the bunch.
After a while, their thoughts would leak through.
One of them stated, "As a representative of the crowd today, I would like to clarify that we are mature and since we like Spade Z so much, we would still support him silently despite our unhappiness." His next post remarked, "Hehe, who cares about supporting him, I'm purely a passerby who can't stand this nonsense."
Feng Yi wanted to laugh at their ridiculous comments.
Weren't the two posts contradictory?
It was really a pity that these people were too young and couldn't seem to understand.
Fortunately, the real fans were an indestructible wall, so sometimes, he couldn't help feeling proud.
There wasn't a need for excessive emotional exchange, but they could still handle matters rationally.
Emotions might be precious, but when they came together for the same person, it was because of the same belief.
It was similar to the beginning when he chose Qin Mo, regardless of when it was, he had trust.
The matter didn't blow up, but the moment the term 'gay' emerged, there would be attention — and that was exactly the result Han Susu wanted.
The next step was to find someone because this wasn't enough.
She already knew about the chance to watch the match live, thus, even if the matter wouldn't blow up now, it didn't mean it couldn't blow up during the live match.
She had contact with some hardcore fans and after talking with them, she was able to head to the match, even with her issues.
By then, she wouldn't need to take action for the matter to escalate. Just like today...
Haiz, she was still disgusted. How could she fall for a gay?
Besides, who did he think he was, how could he not reciprocate her feelings?
This was payback.
"Even if he can't stand me, he won't be able to touch me."
Since there would be someone else doing the dirty work.
Han Susu was right.
Feng Yi needed the team to handle the matter and he didn't wish to alert the two victims.
He lifted his head, glancing over at the clock in his office.
Little Spade had already notified him; he had managed to convince the Almighty and was now sending him off.
Feng Yi understood what it meant for the Supreme Alliance once Almighty Qin was gone.
Everyone had to stick together during such a critical moment because from this point on, all the pressure would be on the youngster.
The intelligent youngster understood that once a newcomer took on the role of Supreme Alliance's vice-captain, victory would be considered a given while his loss would be met with hatred and a lack of understanding.
The youngster understood the gravity of the situation from the start but he hadn't said much. "I won't let Brother Mo fall from his divine spot."
The youngster's eyes glowed as he made this statement.
In this world, it hadn't always been peace and prosperity, there had always been someone shouldering the weight.
Chapter 629: Distributing Sweets
He was deeply moved.
Instead, the youngster raised a palm, putting his emotion to a stop cooly. "It's normal for a younger brother to do that for his older brother."
So... were they really 'brothers'? Then what was with their kiss? Even though he had never dated before, he still had some general knowledge!
The old fox didn't expose him, but inside, he concluded that Little Spade's sacrifice was because of love. But if he wanted to call it 'brotherly love', who was there to stop him?
At the other end, the two 'brothers' were biding each other goodbye at the airport, but the Almighty did it differently than everyone else.
"I will get someone to watch over you." Qin Mo lifted a brow. "If you use your skills again, the police would not hesitate to arrest you, do you understand?."
Bo Jiu replied, "I'm busy preparing for the competition."
"Hand me your phone," Qin Mo instructed calmly.
Bo Jiu lifted a brow, not understanding why the Almighty needed a phone, but she still handed it over since she was here to send him off, after all.
Qin Mo glanced at the call history, scrolling down to delete someone off his contact list — Li Mengran. "A breakup has to be thorough, don't be a je*k."
"Alright, Brother Mo, everything you say is right."
Qin Mo smiled at these words. "Don't worry, this won't affect me."
His eyes swept over the youngster.
Bo Jiu believed that her good looks were rather trustworthy.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mo reached over to carry the fat cat from Deputy Zhang's arms, placing it into the youngster's arms. "He'll watch over you."
"Meow?!" The fat cat tilted his head.
Bo Jiu lifted a brow. "Princess?" He wanted a cat to watch over her?
"Yes, bring him everywhere you go, he would react the moment you approach a female." Qin Mo replied faintly.
The fat cat reached his paws out, waving it agitatedly, treating Bo Jiu as a monster!
Bo Jiu pressed him down. "I don't think it's going to work, we don't even get along well."
"Then try to get along, I'm going to hold you responsible if he loses weight," Qin Mo replied leisurely.
Bo Jiu was confused. How could someone who had never reared a pet keep such a difficult cat? It wouldn't be good for both her and the cat!
The fat cat seemed to understand his owner's wishes, he stopped waving his paws, turning slowly to glance at the handsome youngster with a weird scent, his face in shock.
Deputy Zhang stood at the side, no longer able to hold his laughter.
Qin Mo didn't bother about the youngster or the cat.
An announcement played through the airport, slow yet familiar, with a soothing effect. "Dear passengers, flight number CA8157 flying towards New York has started boarding, please head over to gate no. 13..."
Qin Mo didn't reach for the cat. Reaching for his luggage, his figure tall and slender, his hand clenching into fists as he nudged the youngster's head, his gaze deep. "Wait for me."
"Okay." Bo Jiu wanted to bid him farewell properly, but the cat kept moving repeatedly.
The moment Bo Jiu pressed his tail down, an aromatic peppermint tobacco scent flooded her senses as Qin Mo singlehandedly pulled the youngster into an embrace...
Chapter 630: Continue Distributing Sweets
Fu Jiu hadn't expected that embrace.
It only dawned on her when the warmth of his chest spread across her face.
The sweater brushed her face as the Almighty's other hand caressed her head and the world seemed to quieten down.
When someone was so absurdly close to another, only their heartbeats could be heard.
The airport was where people sent others off.
Hence, the sight of a handsome man with a youngster in his arms wasn't out of the ordinary, but Deputy Zhang thought otherwise about the scene in front of him.
Unlike Feng Yi, he had never experienced such things, it was the first time he saw Young Master Qin hugging anyone.
Their appearance was definitely a treat for the eyes, it wasn't just their faces, even their figure, air, and dressing.
Even with Bo Jiu buried deep in Qin Mo's chest, those passing could still catch a glimpse of the white cat who Bo Jiu carried and who was sandwiched between both of them.
Qin Mo was absolutely ravishing, his gaze deep, his nose sharp and straight, his lips slightly curved, emitting a distant vibe.
But the moment he caressed the youngster's head, his cold armor seemed to melt away, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Behave if you don't want to be arrested, I have something to tell you when I'm back."
Bo Jiu raised a brow, she didn't care about being arrested, besides, with her abilities, she wouldn't be caught that easily.
Almighty, can't you be clearer?!
What exactly do you want to say?
Was it deliberate?
Bo Jiu glanced at the officer at the security gate and the way Qin Mo lifted his arms for the security check. Mmh, dashing!
As expected of the Almighty, constantly igniting the urge to rear him within her.
Forget it, rearing his cat was the same.
She pressed the cat's tail down once more, smiling threateningly. "Brother Mo is gone, if you don't behave, I'm going to shave off all your hair."
"Meow, meow, meow!" Owner, hurry back, this person with a weird scent is a pervert, meow!
Even though her words were ruthless, Bo Jiu's actions were gentle and tender.
Being underaged, Bo Jiu wasn't able to drive.
Thus Deputy Zhang offered to give her a ride, but they weren't going in the same direction and it was convenient for her to take the train.
Hence, Bo Jiu appeared in the Jiang City train station which was known to be the most populated area in the country.
But Bo Jiu had indeed forgotten something, Jiang City wasn't like Fifth Avenue and Tokyo, animals weren't allowed on the train.
But she was already here... The youngster lifted a brow, biting the lollipop as she pulled her jacket over Princess's body.
It was normal to be seen wearing thick clothes during winter. Even though Princess was a fat cat, her head wasn't very big.
Also, fortunately, there were only bag checks and no full body scans.
But Bo Jiu still attracted many stares.
This... Even guys could get pregnant?
Judgemental stares kept coming her way. In the end, she pulled the cat upwards.
Princess wasn't very well behaved, but the moment she moved, the youngster would blackmail her, "Shave your fur."
This world has no cat-rights!
Princess was depressed, very depressed.
Bo Jiu reached out to caress her ear.
When a girl caught sight of the youngster, she deliberately changed her route, following behind.
She never expected to see her handsome Big Spade here!
Chapter 631: Loving Fans, National League Is Here!
Indeed, she was a fan of Spade Z and even the kind that had been gaming for many years.
Before she met Big Spade, she could confidently proclaim that she was a fan purely because of the youngster's skills and definitely not because of his looks, but after seeing him... He really was ravishing! She wanted to gather her friends to take a look, but she understood that protecting his privacy was necessary.
Hence, she sat beside the youngster silently; just being near him was enough.
When you truly like someone, you wouldn't need to attract their attention, their comfort would be of utmost importance.
But why was Big Spade's tummy so bloated and why did it seem to be ascending?
The youngster must have sensed her gaze as he shifted her lids over. Princess tugged the zipper open, exposing his tiny head, his snowy white ears fidgeting.
That image was exceptionally cute!
Especially when the youngster raised his arm to tug his collar, pulling his zipper nonchalantly.
But Big Spade, you have already been exposed!
The girl wanted to laugh.
Bo Jiu must have noticed the commotion as she turned, lifting a finger onto her lips, signaling for her to keep quiet. "Pretend you didn't see anything."
"Alright." The girl lowered her voice. "Can I tell you, I'm a Spade Z fan, the kind that loves you a lot?"
Bo Jiu must be in luck. Otherwise, why did she meet fans wherever she went?
The response caught her off guard.
The cat in her arms reacted, moving about agitatedly as though saying, "Don't you dare cheat on my master, you dumb human, are you tired of living?!"
Bo Jiu remained silent, pressing him down forcefully.
The girl wanted to burst into laughter.
Bo Jiu wasn't proficient with conversing with her fans, acting cute with Princess the entire journey — but Princess wasn't like a male cat. How could he act like that in front of girls?
If it wasn't for her threat, Princess would probably get even with her as well.
Honestly, why did the Almighty rear such a dangerous cat?
Princess could even detect a cross-dresser. So was he perhaps a police cat?
They conversed lightly.
Fortunately, it was a topic the youngster was familiar with: gaming.
Student Jiu had a way when talking about gaming.
When the girl mentioned she played tanks, the youngster immediately added, "You should pay attention to long-range attacks. If they are present, don't worry and just head forward, even if they attack you, your HP won't fall much. As long as your master attack is fully prepared, it'll be easy to finish them off. If you're more experienced, you should pay attention to the positioning, how to dodge attacks and remember to practice your finger's agility to dodge their attacks, attack their..."
Time flew along with her words.
Finally, it was time for Bo Jiu to alight.
The girl tugged onto the youngster's sleeve, her eyes gleaming. "Good luck for the National League!"
"Cool."
Bo Jiu smiled, clear and bright. She stuffed a hand into her pocket, holding onto the cat with the other before entering the swarm of people.
This day had finally arrived: the National League!
Chapter 632: National League Begins!
Countless numbers of cameras went off simultaneously.
All the gaming platforms were on standby, prepared to enter the livestream.
The event master held onto the microphone, shouting his guts out before finally taking a break.
This was unlike the smaller competitions.
What did the National League entail?
After this event, all of them would be known to the gaming world.
Images of MVPs would be magnified and screened daily, some would even become the ambassadors for gaming companies.
This competition would determine the fate of many, so it was similar to a celebrity casting.
Their results were dependent on their teams and their beliefs stood firm, the wish to end without regret, to be acknowledged and to fight alongside their teammates.
At 7.30 am, Xue Yaoyao headed down after preparing.
This was the first time she faced her neighbor's scrutiny with such ease.
All the cruelty, malice and distortion, didn't matter at that moment as she had a date with her youth.
The very thought of her teammates was enough to ignite a passion within her.
The presence of some people was enough to bring strength — especially His Highness Jiu.
Even though her mother married into the Jiang family, Xue Yaoyao's transportation remained the same. As it would take around 30 minutes if she ran to the competition arena, she set her watch, put on her battle outfit and stepped onto the pedestrian road, ready to go.
Yun Hu and Lin Feng appeared together, and as usual, they alighted from a land rover, each of them looking suave with a black shoulder bag.
Feng Shang was there earlier than the rest since his brother Feng Yi had to lead the fan clubs into the arena.
Han Susu had her eyes on exactly that.
She had interacted with fans of Spade Z and had developed close ties, which made chatting more convenient.
Han Susu's first target was Sister Turtle, who was known as the leader of Spade Z's fan club and had even received authorization by the official management.
So she just had to tackle the officials.
As she expressed her feelings for Spade Z to Sister Turtle, Sister Turtle sent a comforting emoticon over. "Everyone feels the same."
This wasn't the first time Han Susu spoke to Sister Turtle, hence, it was rather comfortable to talk. In the past, she had been obsessed with Spade Z and had wanted to get to know him, but even her brother wasn't able to get her a date.
This time, she spoke to Sister Turtle with the hope of entering the list of fans that supported him during the live match.
Sister Turtle was in a rush, replying her carelessly, "The list is determined by the management."
Han Susu tried to coax her into getting her in, but nothing worked, she and others remained firm and refused to budge. It was totally unlike the other fans of Spade Z she had met previously.
Han Susu decided to change her tactic and in the end, three of the fans told her about the entire schedule.
All the preparation was complete; she just had to gather her friends and a few other fans of Spade Z before heading over to the competition ground.
Even though the fans were gathered by the management, the audience could still watch the outer matches if they bought tickets. Han Susu made use of the gap in-between to enter with her group.
She wanted to see how the youngster would react to her interrogation.
Now, these fans seemed to like her more than Spade Z, plus, most of them had grievances as well. There was nothing wrong with voicing their grievances.
Chapter 633: Passionate
If it hadn't been for their past obsession, it would never have morphed into such a horrifying presence.
Some people had the ability to distort facts.
If they weren't able to be loved back, it would definitely be the other party's fault.
Besides, she wouldn't need to speak, the people she brought along would be enough to heat up the arena.
Han Susu surveyed the area, bringing her group over to where Spade fans were seated, waiting for the players to take their position.
Every team had a designated rest area.
After Feng Yi had settled the fans, he walked over to the rest area, smiling slyly. "For the last time, is everyone here?"
"Of course." Lin Feng lifted his lips, looking dashing in his fully black uniform. He circled an arm around Yun Hu's shoulder.
Yun Hu remained silent, but there was a glow within his gaze.
Feng Shang stuttered, "Cap-captain isn't here."
Feng Yi paused, he came early to inform the others that Qin Mo wouldn't be around for the first 15 days of the competition.
But thinking about it was one thing and executing was another. With the battle ahead, Almighty Qin's departure would definitely affect their morale.
"Bang!"
A black skateboard banged open the wooden door, the youngster's ravishing figure coming through, the rays reflected off his silvery hair. "Captain isn't here, but his cat is."
Bo Jiu pulled down her zipper, exposing a formidable face. "Meow."
"Let me introduce Princess." Bo Jiu smiled faintly. "Princess is here to supervise."
Princess lifted his tail in infuriation.
Bo Jiu pressed his tail. "Princess is here to represent Captain and it's my honor to act as the vice-captain. You can call me Little Captain. I will quote Baby Feng, I'll lead you to exterminate your enemies towards greater heights."
Lin Feng stilled slightly before reaching out to caress the cat's head, deliberately avoiding anything about Qin Mo as he asked in a deep voice, "A female?"
"Meow!" I'm a male, male!
Bo Jiu smiled faintly. "He's a male."
"A male cat called Princess?" Lin Feng asked startled.
Bo Jiu lifted a brow. "You have to ask the Almighty."
Lin Feng shook his head. "As expected, Captain's interest can never be understood by us commoners."
None of them asked about Qin Mo's whereabouts.
This was the Supreme Alliance, after all.
Some questions would end up burdening the youngster and thus, they chose to remain silent.
Yin Wuyao had been through a lot and understood what it meant for a captain to be absent at the start of a competition.
He also understood the pressure that the youngster would be shouldering as the vice-captain.
He spat the cigarette in his mouth, reaching out with his arm. "Vice-captain, are you ready to lead us to greater heights and to exterminate our rivals?"
"What do you think?" The youngster held onto the cat with one hand and reached out the other.
The Supreme Alliance had always had such a connection.
They weren't perfect and were flawed because of their unique playing style; two of their players hadn't even competed in the National League before and some of them came from the distant mountainous village, but none of this affected their cohesiveness.
They lifted their arms.
One over the other, with the fat white cat in the middle.
"Our goal, the National League!"
Chapter 634: Always Been Like This
That restroom became the place where their dreams took flight.
The cameras in the arena were all set up, prepared to capture the teams' entrance.
At this moment, all fans stood up, surrounding the two sides of the road to welcome the teams.
There was a huge banner over the head of a Spade Z fan who was a classical beauty, slender and upright.
She was probably below thirty years old, her mid-length milk tea-colored hair spread to the sides and a pair of huge eyes peeked through. Dressed in formal corporate attire, her presence itself placed the crowd at ease.
The other fans of Spade Z stuck their heads out adorably. Even though they were the quietest bunch, each of them was bright-eyed, and their gazes were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Finally, someone appeared!
All the lights centered in, forming a horizontal pathway.
With a total of eleven of them dressed in full gear, they seemed like galactic officers, emitting a suave aura.
But this time, it was Bo Jiu leading the pack, not Qin Mo.
The youngster stood at the front with her dark gaze and silvery hair, a fat white cat in her hands. Even though she wasn't tall, she gave off an incomparable sharpness akin to an ice blade.
The crowd went ablaze!
The support began.
Once the livestream flashed, the viewership skyrocketed.
Just as Bo Jiu was about to enter with her team, someone suddenly bolted out, hurling a can of coke towards the youngster. "How can a gay do this to his fans?!"
Everyone was caught off guard and even Feng Yi froze, his entire mind blanking out.
Sister Turtle was too far away, so it wasn't possible for her to head over.
Three other fans of Spade Z surrounded them.
"I just wanted to know, after all the love we have given you, why...?"
No one paid attention to their words.
As they were in public, all their questions were magnified and captured by the cameras.
The youngster stood there, coke dripping down his hair onto his clothes, his smoky makeup smeared, he stood there in a miserable state in front of a large audience and the countless numbers of cameras.
The real Spade Z fans stood up, their agitated gaze turning into heartache as the youngster had never been treated like this before.
The fat white cat was still huddled in Bo Jiu's embrace.
Near the cameras, the bunch awaited the youngster's loss of control.
Han Susu managed to blend into the crowd as she watched the drama unfold, but unexpectedly, the youngster didn't lose control or grab onto her collar like before, bashing her until she was crippled.
It wasn't because of Bo Jiu's kind-heartedness, but rather that was aware of the importance of the competition, and it was enough for her to endure this humiliation.
The coke was still dripping. Bo Jiu raised her arm to swipe her silvery strands, just like a male god that had just entered a battle arena, her long slender legs fully clothed in battle gear, her lips curved upwards. Even if it was a miserable sight, her flamboyance was enough to melt hearts.
"You like me a lot?" The youngster lifted a brow, asking the three fans.
The fans felt wronged. "Think about it yourself, think of our support, what exactly did we do for you to treat us like that?!"
"I have always been like this." The youngster chuckled. "The person you like probably isn't me or you wouldn't be here to interrogate me. Do you know the reason behind the existence of fans? Every time us players walk out and see the banner, hear the adoring cheers, coincidentally bump into fans on the train — all of this would fuel us on. Those are the people that truly love us, who allow us to continue our craft, to make us believe that there is light beyond the tunnel, to push us on whenever we feel like giving up. But players are humans. If your love is to humiliate me, then congratulations, you have succeeded. There's still the competition, Feng Shang, we will not stop, let's go."
Chapter 635: Battle of Mandatory, Success!
Baby Feng rubbed his fingers, suppressing his urge to hurl insults at them.
Taking large strides behind them, both Lin Feng's and Yun Hu's gaze deepened.
Xue Yaoyao wished she had a paper with her or anything which could be used to wipe the youngster's face.
Even if they were far, the heartache from Spade Z's fans was apparent.
The truth was, protection was relative as no one would be able to endure their loved ones being treated in such a way.
Spade fans were distressed and yearned to retaliate, but at this moment, Sister Turtle came forward.
"Let them have a good match, this is the National League, they have been preparing for such a long time. There are other fans of the Supreme Alliance here as well, so let's show them our support."
"Banzai!" Their voices weren't loud, but it still managed to attract attention.
Somehow, this situation made it hard for the media to report whatever they had planned.
For instance: "Spade Z humiliated by fans due to his sexuality."
"Is gaming like this worth our love?"
Both topics had to be eliminated because the youngster had submitted to the humiliation.
However, it was all because of the competition; they had to win.
Otherwise, they would be letting down their past efforts, the anticipation from the fans and themselves.
Cameras swept past the youngster's face.
Even though his gaze didn't seem to have changed, the air around him seemed to have changed.
The youngster's face still carried coke stains, but he stood upright, one hand stuffed into a pocket, the other carrying the white cat as he positioned himself.
Although the other members couldn't be filmed, there was an obvious discussion — but with Sister Turtle there to control the crowd, nothing massive would occur.
Some fans were removed from the arena.
Of course, those who had to leave felt grievances.
Some people seemed to have forgotten that there wasn't a liking that would cause suspicion.
It was such a pity.
Maybe they also couldn't understand how their love had morphed into such a state.
But this was called growth.
Regardless of whether it was to those that truly adored Spade Z or Spade Z himself; they would have to experience a deep and painful training in order to grow into a stronger and undefeatable version of themselves.
"Alright, everyone, look over here, over here!"
This shoutcaster's style seemed pretty obvious.
How should he put it, that person... seemed very feminine.
"As a shoutcaster, I want to ask where Almighty Qin is? Eh, am I seeing things or did Spade Z become the vice-captain? Supreme Alliance, is appearance a criterion for being captain? Aish, you should have mentioned it earlier, I would have tried it out."
His words caused an uproar, but it also showed his skills as he successfully shifted the audience's attention to the competition.
"Come on! Let's look at both teams, Supreme Alliance vs The Alliance, both great teams. I like the captain from The Alliance as well, with his mighty attacks — wait a moment, I keep wondering if I'm seeing things. Spade Z didn't pick 1v1, but instead chose the teamfight?!"
Chapter 636: Allrounder Z!
"I love how cool Spade Z is when he fights solo, why is he in the teamfight this time? This seems like the first time Spade Z participates in a teamfight, I'm excited and I believe the fans are as well, let's watch and see!" the shoutcaster ended.
Another acknowledged his words with, "Mmh, let's watch and see."
The shoutcasters' personalities were complete opposites, adding joy to the battle arena.
Their competitors were a worthy opponent.
The match began.
First was the 1v1 match.
Yun Hu's battle style was just like his personality, stable and ruthless.
He finished off victoriously against three opponents
In the 2v2, Feng Shang and Yin Wuyao were paired up.
This was a totally unexpected pairing since Feng Shang was still new.
But Bo Jiu thought otherwise.
They were still at the initial stage of the competition, which was the best time to train the newcomers as they had to quickly adjust to the National League.
Chapter 637: Trap to Capture Spade Z!
"Has Spade Z been training for the sorcerer?"
"Even if he has trained for the character, it has been less than five days. An unfamiliar character would place him in a disadvantage."
"Regardless, let's watch and see."
A commotion arose from the audience.
For the 5v5 teamfight, Bo Jiu sat in the middle, fully geared in battle attire, a white cat resting on her thighs, with Xue Yaoyao and Lin Feng at either side.
Coco was here as well, serving as an aide.
But still, such a formation seemed worrisome.
"Once it starts, I will be the only one in the middle, regardless of how many people there are." Bo Jiu lowered her voice as she instructed the others, "Yaoyao, take the bottom lane and the others take the top lane. Lin Feng, you focus on the jungle in the bottom lane and watch out for the bushes. Now, wear your headsets and switch on your mics."
After Bo Jiu finished giving orders, everyone wore their headsets, their gaze focused ahead, youthfulness brimming out from their faces.
Their cool images flashed onto the screens as well as their dark uniform and delicate features.
Everyone chose their skills in unison with the same position, tapping Enter.
Shua!
The special effect played as they entered the match, the audience couldn't help clenching onto their cans tightly.
"It's intense isn't it, fangirls and boys out there? Come on, let's have a technical discussion if the troops split into three paths, the sorcerer would usually take the middle lane, but for Spade Z who has always been killing-by-force all these while, would he be used to the sorcerer character? That is the crux of this match."
"The archer in the bottom lane is important as well, if she doesn't attack aggressively at the start, she might not be able to keep up afterward. There is indeed a lot of insufficiencies."
"What did you say? Insufficiencies?"
"The archer is a newcomer, attacking her shouldn't be an issue. If I were their opponent, I would place two players in the middle, two at the bottom lane and the last person at the top lane. As long as they manage to hit Xue Yaoyao or Spade Z, they would get the first drop of blood, completing the first kill."
"F*ck, if they really end up in pairs, it'll be a good show!"
In-game, Coco hesitated slightly when he saw someone heading over from the middle lane.
Then Bo Jiu's voice came through the headset. "Continue attacking."
Coco had heard the command, but he was worried Bo Jiu wouldn't be able to keep up as this was, after all, the National League and a sorcerer had low HP.
The opposing assassin and tank headed straight for the middle lane.
"This is a good chance, hide in the bushes, I'll use a master blow to stop Spade Z, you can use your finishing move to kill him off."
This was the easiest way to deal with a sorcerer.
In a teamfight, a tank's master move could crush a sorcerer's master move and since a sorcerer had low HP, the moment he was hit by the tank, half his HP would be finished.
Furthermore, just one attack by the assassin would burn off a huge chunk of HP, another attack would definitely be fatal.
The other team's vice-captain chose the tank character, his positioning well thought out, silently waiting for the chance to utilize his master blow, focused on diverting Spade Z's attention.
The assassin, on the other hand, kept himself concealed, hiding in the bushes waiting to ambush, his eyes on Spade Z, his voice filled with the excitement of a hunter. "Vice-captain, he's here."
Chapter 638: Is Spade Z Losing?
The match flashed on the screens, visible to the entire crowd.
It was unlike in the game which could only be seen by their teammates.
When Bo Jiu headed forward with an ice blade, all her fans watched with lifted hearts!
Even the shoutcaster's face seemed to change as everyone knew that Spade Z was doomed!
But right at that moment, Bo Jiu paused, placing a freezing skill onto the space on her right before heading towards the bottom of the tower. The series of action caught everyone off guard.
"Why did Spade Z place his ability there?"
"Is he alright? The opponent is straight ahead, but he directed his attack to the right."
"Has he not mastered the skill properly?"
Han Susu hadn't been chased out yet, after all, she wasn't the one that had caused a commotion, which meant that she was still amongst the audience.
But after what had occurred, it wasn't right for her to be amongst Spade Z fans. In order to avoid being caught, she shifted to the left, blending into Coco's fans since they were the nearest.
Coco's fans were a rather young crowd, not many of them were versed in gaming, a small group becoming fans solely because of Coco's cute appearance, hence, causing them to say such things.
Han Susu immediately shifted her gaze. "I like all the members in the Supreme Alliance and their individual fighting style, but Spade Z, in particular, seems a little problematic. He clearly can't deal with the situation yet, he insists on taking the middle lane by himself, such a willful behavior is both worrying and unbearable. What if they lose because of him, aish, if it had been a solo match, it wouldn't have mattered, but as a vice-captain, it would harm Supreme Alliance."
"I won't say much for the sake of Supreme Alliance." Coco's fans didn't just follow along with the mockery, but Han Susu understood, even if they didn't join in the mockery right now, they might not be able to keep it in afterward. From their expressions, she could see a hint of trouble beneath their expressions, it was just a matter of time.
It was a pity nothing went according to her plans.
Coco was a professional player, after all, thus it wasn't possible for all his fans to be clueless.
A girl swept her a gaze. "Aren't you a fan of Spade Z? What are you doing here? Besides, Sis, let me give you some advice, do you know why Spade Z planted the arrow in the bushes? It's to prevent himself from being ambushed, it's basic knowledge. If you don't understand, can you just watch silently? I don't understand why anyone would do that to their idol, are you an anti-fan?"
Han Susu's face darkened as she thought of a comeback.
But as the girl wasn't a fan of Spade Z, she didn't pay Han Susu much attention, focusing back on the competition.
Actually, everyone else was focused on the competition.
Only those that had ulterior motives had their attention elsewhere, trying to conjure up trouble.
Han Susu came from a family of merchants and thus understood human relations and who to prey against. Some people, on the other hand, couldn't be stirred.
But some — with money or emotions — would be able to lose judgment, preying on others. That was the mystical way of life.
On the screen, Spade Z fell into danger once again.
The third time, Bo Jiu was reduced to half the level of HP, causing tension amongst her fans.
Perhaps, Z wouldn't be able to make it...
Chapter 639: Dashing Spade Z
But both the fans and the shoutcaster missed out on one point!
The feminine shoutcaster lit up. "I get it!"
Get it?
Before the crowd could hear his explanation, Spade Z waved her arm, a huge rain spell enveloping the surrounding area with her in the middle.
Both of the opponent's master attacks were gone amidst the rain spell.
However, while to Spade Z who had called the spell, it was just rain, to the others, the droplets were blades!
"Run!"
Their vice-captain was at his last breath, he wanted to stand firm, hoping the assassin could escape, but, it wasn't possible for the youngster to let him go.
"Lin Feng."
The soft command came through the headset and into the audience.
"Here! Come on, Little Spade, let's begin this revolutionary cooperation!"
That's right!
Cooperation!
After finishing off his side, Lin Feng was near the middle lane, he moved up easily, finishing them off before going back to his lane.
All of a sudden, two striking letters appeared on the screen — K.O!
First kill!
No one expected that first kill!
The audience burst into a roaring chorus!
Some started to wave their support sticks, but that wasn't even all!
The next announcement sounded — double-kill!
"Sweet!" The shoutcaster slapped the table. "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Let's see the replay!"
The other shoutcaster was still brooding. "What did you mean by you get it?"
"The reason Spade Z decide to take on the middle lane alone! Other than to stretch his own limits rapidly, he was able to lure both the main tank and attacker out. It would also give Lin Feng time to fight and gain experience, once the tank has exhausted his master blow, he would cast the rain spell. It was obvious his rain spell wasn't placed randomly, it was because Lin Feng was nearby to provide timely assistance!"
"You mean..." The shoutcaster didn't dare to think further.
The feminine shoutcaster covered his face, acting coy. "It wasn't my plan, it's my Big Spade's plan. He kept his skills under wraps and the moment he unleashed it, it was simply deadly." the shoutcaster ended.
All of a sudden, the views for the live stream sky-rocketed!
That wasn't all, the two of them had even taken down the tower in the middle lane at such fast speed. It was simply exhilarating!
It was no doubt a feast for the eyes.
Coco's fans turned to give Han Susu a look of contempt.
A flame blazed within her.
Her aim was to humiliate Spade Z, but she never expected Spade Z's fans to be so protective or that he would win after being splashed with coke!
The image from before flashed onto the screen.
The cameras moved backward, capturing the youngster's emotionless face.
Handsome, flawless, cool.
Feng Yi glanced at the screen.
In fact, no one knew where the youngster's growth came from.
Endure silently for the team.
We aren't kind enough, we don't know how to interact with others or might even have fatal personality flaws, but we can all grow for the person dear to us.
This was youth.
Chapter 640: Trust Issues?
Those playing the sorcerer knew that as long as their initial formation was stable, the subsequent formations would be stronger.
Hero was a game well liked by the masses. Thus, in order to excel, a complete understanding of the game was required and camaraderie amongst teammates was crucial.
After taking down another defense tower, both Bo Jiu and Lin Feng didn't rush forward and instead went through the jungles towards the bottom lane.
When the opponent caught sight of them, it was too late.
Xue Yaoyao executed her big move, Lin Feng killed by force, Bo Jiu executed a freeze, and Xue Yaoyao then shot one of them.
K.O!
"Dashing!"
He was indeed dashing!
This marked the start of their National League.
The tempo rose quickly as the attacker and tank revived, attacking the bottom lane along with their archer.
The three of them came together in order to eliminate Supreme Alliance since Spade Z was already left with only half of his HP.
This time, they wouldn't waste their big move as they first had to stop his rain spell!
Unexpectedly, Bo Jiu never intended to fight head-on, sending a freezing spell to the wall before hiding into the bushes. Bo Jiu avoided the assassin and headed straight for the tower.
Xue Yaoyao and Lin Feng would get hurt but that wasn't a problem because with Bo Jiu below the tower healing them, they would be fully healed in no time.
"F*ck! I didn't get him!"
"Spade Z doesn't seem to play the sorcerer for the first time." The captain's voice deepened. "We can't make any more mistakes, the information we received is clearly inaccurate. Since we can't get him, let's catch someone else. Lu, conceal yourself and go."
"Cool."
The assassin Lu moved swiftly, his figure barely visible when he moved.
The revived members guarded the middle lane while the other two were at the bottom lane.
There was one other player heading towards Coco.
The moment Bo Jiu realized the assassin was gone, her eyes narrowed. "Coco, retreat."
But it was too late.
The best way for an assassin to attack was its fatal move close to the opponent.
Coco's HP wasn't full, hence, the attack caused massive destruction!
"Ah! No!"
The fans shrieked!
Even so, it wouldn't change the outcome.
With a thud, Coco smashed onto the ground.
The other Supreme Alliance members wanted to turn back, but their sorcerer was still ahead. So with the main blow still wavering, holding him captive, he could only retreat.
A few of the younger fans couldn't accept Coco's death.
"How did it happen?"
"How could our Coco die like this?"
In the beginning, his fans were just regretful about his death.
Han Susu grabbed onto the opportunity, taking a long breath. "Isn't it because the main attackers are protecting Spade Z, aish, this competition is simply heart wrenching."
Her words successfully riled the hearts of Coco's fans.
"Why didn't he save our Coco?"
"What do you mean by attackers are used to protect Spade Z?"
"How could he just watch his teammate die? Mmh?"
As the questioning began, Coco's mic was switched on. "I'm sorry, Vice-captain, it was my negligence. You reminded me about the assassin and wanted me to retreat, but it was too late."
"No, after reviving, middle lane." Bo Jiu was still manipulating the mouse in her palms, her eyes focused on the battle, her countenance clear and simple.
