Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Menu Alice stood in the corridor, exchanging glances with Luke. Luke, his pride wounded, said aggressively, “You came to see the joke, didn’t you? Is it funny? Watching others laugh at our family team, are you satisfied now?”

Alice shot back, “It’s because you’re just not good enough.”

At that moment, the Mount team arrived at the back. Alice looked at their captain, the one who’d insulted her.“Let me ask you something, are you an orphan with no parents?”

The captain scowled.“What do you mean?”

“Literally, with a mouth like yours, I figured your parents must have passed away early, no one taught you manners.”

“Brat, say that again if you dare!” He was furious.

Alice said coldly, “In the upcoming match, if you lose, you better apologize publicly to the reporters for insulting my parents!”

“We’ll lose? You must be dreaming!”

“What’s the matter, scared to agree? Feeling guilty?” Alice’s taunts reeled him in, “Fine, if you lose, your captain will apologize for his words, too.”

The Mount team left angrily. Alice remained calm; she knew how to win. But the atmosphere in the Landing Team turned awkward.

Luke said irritably, “If we lose, you go apologize yourself. You’re not even on the team; why are you making decisions?”

“I just want that guy to apologize, nothing else.”

As Alice finished, Noah rushed over, “Alice, I’m glad you’re here. Our family can finally be together.”

The rest of the team chimed in, “Captain, Chloe just wanted to win, she didn’t mean to do said earlier was a bit that.““She’s so hardworking, she stays up late training.““Captain, what much.”

It blame him?

was Alice backed the team’s comments, “Yes, Chloe worked so hard, even sacrificing her study time. Luke, why did you scold her?

You’re just worried about losing, but she’s risking her pride!” Chloe’s fault! Luke was furious. Why did everyone Noah looked at Luke.“Luke, you need to control your temper. Alice was so good to you, and you hurt her. Do you want Chloe to run away too?”

“Noah, it’s not the same! It was Chloe...”

“Enough, I saw the live stream clearly. You led everyone into a trap; as captain, you have to take responsibility. Chloe just got too anxious and made a mistake,”

< Chapter 27 [M Luke felt utterly powerless. No powerless. No matter what he said, Noah didn’t believe him! Alice watched coldly from the sidelines; Luke was finally experiencing what she’d endured—being wrongly accused, misunderstood, unable to defend herself. Did it feel good? Noah called Chloe; but she didn’t answer.“Forget her. Let’s discuss the match.” Alice said, “If we want to win this match, all future plans must follow my lead.” Luke was the first to object, “Why should we?”

Alice’s eyes were dark.“Because I know how to win.”

She was exceptionally calm as she laid out her thoughts and plans. She had observed the match earlier and had a good understanding of the Landing Team since they had trained together before.

“Anyone can talk big. Don’t think you’re invincible just because you’re talented. You haven’t trained in ages; what makes you think you can win?”

Alice pursed her lips.“If you don’t follow my lead, I’ll quit.”

Luke sneered.“Quit then. Think you’re that important?”

Noah intervened.“If we don’t have any other options, follow Alice.”

Luke was reluctant but had no choice; they really had no other plan.

The match was about to resume. Alice took Chloe’s spot. This was originally her seat from her past life. As she put on her headset, her expression hardened; this time, she wasn’t fighting to please Luke. She was fighting for herself.

The sudden change in players sparked discussion.

Her brilliance now belonged to her alone.

As the match began, the host started commenting, “The Landing Team has encountered some minor issues, and there’s been a personnel adjustment. This newcomer seems a bit unfamiliar; we don’t know her strength. The situation for Landing Team doesn’t look good; how will they break through?”

Alice entered the game, and the account Chloe played was the same role she used to play–long–range artillery. So she adapted quickly.

Alice had a plan set up, waiting for the enemy to attack. But at a critical moment, Luke charged out, exposing their position.

Alice cursed under her breath.“What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry, I can handle it!” Luke dashed out, unwilling to accept defeat, but ended up getting pinned down.

Alice wasn’t surprised.

She me.

< Chapter 27 Menu The announcer exclaimed, “Wow, this artillery player is amazing! Her moves are so polished; she doesn’t look like a newbie at all, more like a seasoned pro.”

“She suddenly stopped, dodging the enemy’s ultimate move. How did she predict their attack?” “Look, she’s charging out, jumping in mid–air, and landing a twelve–hit combo! That’s a move only the legendary King could pull off. How can this newbie girl do something like that? It’s unbelievable!”

The crowd erupted in cheers, the atmosphere igniting!

The legendary King was a god in everyone’s hearts! Even though he had retired for years, his myth still lingered. What’s the connection between this newbie girl and the legendary King?
