“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.”
