Jaipor was annoyed. He turned his head and said impatiently, “Look at what?!”
“Look at today’s Conqueror’s Pro List! The ID at the very top is actually ‘Elspeth’!”
Today happened to be a Monday, and the new list of top players updates every Monday. Last night, they had been training for today’s team competition, so they had not paid attention to the list for several days. They did not expect that it would be Elspeth’s ID at the top of the list… The ID of the woman right in front of them!
A trace of unease suddenly crossed Jaipor’s heart, but he still insisted on saying, “Impossible, this must be the ID of Kenneth, who changed the name beforehand.”
But soon, he found that the second ID displayed on the list was ‘CrazyKen’.
“My ID did not have this name before, but I was afraid that you would say that this is not my ID, so I just deliberately changed it temporarily.” Elspeth smiled.
She added with a sarcastic face, “What? Do you need me to personally go online with my ID to show you whether I’m at the top of that list or not?”
At that, Jaipor felt a deep humiliation. Now that the live broadcast was still going on, he didn’t want to look bad, so he could only grit his teeth and apologize to Elspeth. “Sorry, I misunderstood you.”
After apologizing, he was ready to lead his teammates back.
Elspeth said lightly, “Don’t rush off yet. Let’s take care of some personal matters first.”
“What other personal matters do we have to deal with? We don’t even know each other in private.”
Elspeth took the headset and threw it in front of Jaipor. “Mr. Lass, do you want to explain why all the headsets belonging to my team were not working?”
Sweat began dripping down Jaipor’s forehead. “You should ask the organizer this. Why are you asking me?”
“Because what was captured by the surveillance camera is that you unplugged our headset connection cable, which was why we had to play through the entire game without working headsets. Of course, it also proves that you are indeed useless at the game.”
Jaipor was puzzled. “Surveillance camera? What surveillance camera?”
He had not seen any surveillance cameras at this competition venue anywhere. Elspeth replied with a smile, “Sorry, when I came here just now, I also found no surveillance camera. To avoid unnecessary problems, I specially installed the pinhole cameras I have everywhere.”
With that, Elspeth connected the surveillance footage to the big screen using Bluetooth. “See for yourself. Isn’t that you?”
On the screen, Jaipor was looking around. Taking advantage of everyone’s inattention, he secretly came behind them, unplugged the cables for the headsets, and went back unnoticed. He was smart enough to avoid the live broadcast camera and create the impression of going to the restroom, but he didn’t expect Elspeth to have cameras around.
“You’re eager to win, but that’s not how the game should be played. Mr. Lass, the character of your team is evident.”
Once these words came out, Jaipor knew that he was completely finished. All these things were broadcasted live. Thus, their team was now infamous. Jaipor closed his eyes tightly; for an
incomparably tough-looking man like him, it was surprising to see that tears were flowing down his face.
After the game, the two teams went out to face the reporters’ questions according to the usual practice, and in front of everyone, Jaipor said brutally, “I announce that Team AD is henceforth dissolved.”
Team AD, which had been in the limelight for a year, was dissolved today.
Jaipor left despondently with his team members while Elspeth and the others began receiving reporters’ questions.
“Miss Elspeth, may I ask how you play the game so well?”
Elspeth smiled lightly. “With my own hands.”
The reporter still did not give up, throwing Elspeth another question, “Then can you give some experienced advice to the children who love to play such games?”
Elspeth thought about it and said, “Pay attention in class and play fewer games.”
The reporter felt that she could not take it anymore, so she turned her head and asked Kenneth, “Mr. Joneson, do you have anything to add?”
Kenneth saw that it was finally his turn and asked with a smile, “Where is the place to receive the award?”
The reporter completely gave up and left in a hurry, covering her face.
This tournament was considered to have come to an end, and Elspeth finally replaced Kenneth as the new top player. She even set off a frenzied trend of playing with archers aptly named “Elspeth Style”.
Even the game’s designers, on seeing the excessive usage of archery heroes, began to significantly weaken the heroes’ archery skills to keep the game balanced. But this all happened afterward.
Soon, Elspeth returned to the club. Callum was already there waiting for her. Looking at Elspeth’s face, Callum felt reluctant to leave her, but he still said, “Elspeth, I have to go back to Damoria in the next two days. The company has run into some problems, but I should be able to come back in a week.”
When Elspeth heard this, she was actually a little sad for a moment, but still nodded. “It’s okay. Just go.”
Callum let out a long sigh before walking up to Elspeth and gently hugging her. “Remember to miss me.”
Seeing how arrogant he was even while saying such words, Elspeth looked helpless. “Then let’s see whether I have time to miss you!”
Callum frowned at once. “No time? I’m only away for a week, not dead. I have ways to check in on you.”
Elspeth was speechless.
Before Callum left, he insisted that Elspeth send him to the airport. When the two of them left, it was like they were leaving for good. Kenneth and the others were reluctant to let Elspeth leave, especially Carrot who was in tears.
Wiping his tears, he looked unhappy as he said, “Elspeth, can you not leave? If you leave, I will have to listen to your ‘Good Night’ song to sleep well again.”
Elspeth tugged her lips. “That’s called ‘Good Night, ‘Good Night’.”
Carrot choked for a moment, while Birdy on the side said, “Elspeth, will you continue to participate in next year’s battle tournament?”
Elspeth said cursorily, “Sure.”
Kenneth stared at Elspeth for a long time and asked, “How shall I transfer the prize money, of which four million is yours, to you?”
Elspeth helplessly but politely refused the money and hurriedly said goodbye. Then, she followed Callum to the airport, and after sending him off, she suddenly received a phone call. It was a call from Michael.
“Hello, Elspeth? Today, one of my friends’ grandsons is back in Blaydal. Could you help me go to the airport to pick him up? I’m old, and there is no one else to help me. Um…”
Although Elspeth knew that it was a trick from him, she still reluctantly agreed. She was even wondering if the old man had sent someone to monitor her movements.
“Great, I have already told him. You can just stand by the exit and wait for him when the time comes.”
After saying that, Michael hung up the phone.
Elspeth had a premonition in her heart that the person arriving would be somehow related to her.
The plane that Michael said the man would soon arrive at the airport in Blaydal, and Elspeth was standing at the exit looking out when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. That person slowly walked toward her and smiled. “Miss Elspeth, long time no see.”
