Xyla Quest probably got lucky earlier.Perhaps, Amigo was simply too horrible a player.“Which server are you in?” Xyla Quest asked as she looked at Hugo Clive.“Wait. I’ll search for you…” Hugo said before quickly logging into the game and entering Xyla’s server.He was also a Challenger in this server.After they added each other as friends, Xyla created another ‘1-versus-1’ game and invited him.This time, Hugo chose Aphelios as well.Meanwhile, Xyla chose Ezreal as she did before.The entire internet cafe had become quiet. More and more players were gathered around them, and they all paid attention to the match between Xyla and Hugo.In fact, many of them took their phones out and began recording them.Hugo began feeling nervous because he couldn’t allow himself to lose. If he lost, he would be thoroughly embarrassed.Meanwhile, Xyla remained calm as usual. There wasn’t any emotion in her eyes.Once the game started, she began to play silently. She was like an elegant p
“What did Alex call that woman just now? Boss? Holy sh*t… I recognize her now. I think she’s Xyla Quest… No wonder she looks so familiar.”“I didn’t know she’s so good at video games. This is why she’s trying to acquire a professional team.”“Come on! Shouldn’t you two be posting on Weibo right now? Don’t chicken out.”“Amigo, you’re a famous anchor. It’s not a big deal to lose a bet, right? Hurry up and post it.”Suddenly, there was a drastic change in the crowd’s attitude toward the three of them. Hugo Clive and the young man had become a target of public criticism. This scandal had left the two with egg on their face. They felt like their faces were being slapped by Xyla Quest, again and again, leaving behind four burning hot cheeks. They both started to regret what they had done earlier. Why did they accept this stupid challenge in the first place?Taking a deep breath, the young man hesitantly logged onto his Weibo account and typed, “@XylaQuest, I’m sorry for despising
”Why did the owner of Team RS and the well-known gaming anchorman, Amigo, apologize to Xyla Quest?” Xyla Quest totally did not expect their little conflict to make headlines. She opened the article without hesitation. “A few minutes ago, Team RS’s official Weibo page had expressed their apologies to Xyla Quest. They had reflected on their misbehavior to look down on Xyla Quest’s gaming skills. Besides, Amigo—the famous gaming anchorman—had also uploaded a similar post.“Likewise, he apologized for being condescending toward Xyla, and he even addressed Xyla as ‘daddy’. The bizarre events that took place simultaneously had attracted the attention of countless gamers in no time.“Shortly after the two posts, a player revealed the truth behind their sudden apologies at ESPN, a sports commentary and news platform. According to him, Xyla mentioned that she was good at video games but was despised by the Team RS’s boss and Amigo.“To prove herself, the three of them went to a nearby
“It’s not impossible, though. There’ve been cases of team owners taking part in the tournament before. They don’t train often, but they can play really well. Hey, the Summer Playoffs semifinals is in a couple of weeks. Why don’t you give it a try and play for the team?” Alex suggested.Inwardly, Xyla Quest was tempted by his encouragement. However, she forced herself to hold back her desire. “Nah… It’d be bad if I ruin the team's performance.”Playing a game and playing a match were two different cases after all. She might be good at playing games, but that did not mean that she could excel in matches. On top of that, she had never trained with anyone in the team. She had no confidence that she could cooperate well with them. If something went wrong in the middle of the game, they would lose the tournament, and the consequences were dire. “I think you can do it, boss. Maybe you can win the first regular season championship for our club!” Simon gushed.“You guys need to stop. P
With great interest, everyone looked away from the training room and followed Xyla to the elevator. They then took the elevator and visited the rest of the villa floor by floor. The second and third floors were the dormitory for the players and the management team. The rooms’ doors were carved with the names of the team members, manager, team leader, and president, respectively. Each person was assigned a room. All the rooms were equipped with a king-sized bed, a desktop of the same model downstairs, and various broadcast equipment.There was a study room, a badminton room, a tennis room, and a physical therapy room on the fourth floor. The top floor was large and spacious, with a huge indoor swimming pool occupying the entire space above. Every wall was made of tempered glass, offering an expansive view of Navy River. Not only that the boys could swim here, but they could also enjoy the night view here before going to bed. As Xyla strolled around each floor, satisfaction
“Okay.”Hanging up the phone, Xyla Quest briefly calculated the time and found out that the journey from her location would take at least an hour.Without further ado, she floored the gas pedal. Her red Maserati then sped down the streets, all the way to the destination. Xyla finally arrived at the art gallery at the appointed time.Effortlessly, she caught sight of Sharon Lindt from afar. Her mother-in-law was standing at the main entrance with a large group of bodyguards, patiently waiting for her.Sharon was dressed in a mint knitted cardigan with a white chiffon dress inside, matching them a pair of pastel flats. She completed her look with light makeup and a low ponytail, looking very much like a young little girl. The entrance of the art gallery was extremely crowded.However, no one was as eye-catching as Sharon. As Xyla stared at that elegant lady in the sea of heads, she could not help wondering how alluring she would have been when she was young.Xyla quickly fo
“Neither do I. Don’t judge when you can’t even draw.”“Can someone who can’t draw simply comment on Master Lacroix’s artwork? That’s pretty shameless.”“I think the master’s painting is perfect. Why is that girl acting like she’s very knowledgeable about art?”The crowd’s criticisms were getting harsher and harsher.However, happiness glowed inside May Conner when she heard them. ‘You’re dead this time, Xyla…’“I might have known nothing about French paintings before. But how can you be so sure that I’m still the same after so many years?” Xyla Quest met her eyes apathetically.“Do you think that French painting is something that can be learned overnight?” May jabbed, “Besides, learning it and mastering it are two different cases…” “That’s right. Are you even qualified to judge Master Lacroix? Paint yourself then if you’re so good at it.”“Is Master Lacroix someone who can be simply attacked by a novice painter? Show us your paintings if you think you’re better than Master Lac
May Conner and the rest of the people who wanted to watch Xyla Quest embarrass herself quickly walked over to Xyla. They all had an annoyed expression on their faces.As everyone watched, Xyla picked up a brush and began painting a snowy plum.“What’s that? It looks very ordinary…”“Yeah. It does look ordinary…”Everyone was whispering among themselves.May didn’t say anything, but she felt the same way about it.Slowly, Xyla put her brush down and looked at Wilmer Lacroix.Wilmer kept his eyes on the painting of that snowy plum. There was a look of bewilderment in his eyes.In the next second, he turned around to look at Xyla. “That looks amazing… The plum flower looks so real. The strokes you have made were fantastic! This level of prowess is something many people could never reach despite practicing for years! Even I can’t draw such perfect plum! Will you please be my teacher?” he asked.Likewise, Sharon Lindt was stunned by how beautiful the snowy plum Xyla had drawn looke
