Scott felt a headache coming on when he saw how stubborn Rose was acting.He had some feelings for her and was interested in pursuing a relationship with her, but he was not the kind of man who would take advantage of a woman in such a situation.When it came to having a relationship, he wanted Rose to love him wholeheartedly.He gently rubbed her forehead when he saw her refusing to leave. He cajoled her softly, “Be good and wait here for me. I’ll get the hotel to bring up extra blankets. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold.”“Alright.”Rose looked at him as she blushed. She said drunkenly, “Come back quick.”Scott nodded and opened the door to leave. As the door slowly closed behind him, the look in Rose’s eyes suddenly became sharp.She was not drunk at all.Rose wanted to test Scott. If he was the kind of man who took advantage of a woman in such a situation, Rose would be putting herself at risk.However, who else would she risk herself for besides Nathan?Rose closed her eye
There was booing among the crowd. Frowning, Max pretended not to hear a thing.He focused on observing any change in the game as he moved his Tidal Trickster very slowly. He tried to farm every creep he could get. Even if he could not farm any, he had to earn XP.Despite his best efforts, there was still a large gap between him and the opposition’s Mid-Laner.This could not continue. Max should not panic!Max quickly glanced through the entire battlefield and immediately grasped the situation.The bot-laner was having a hard time keeping everything together. Carlton and Simon were still able to hold up, but they had very limited gold and kept getting attacked by the turrets.As for the top-laner tank, they barely survived but made it thanks to the team captain’s help.Max had to be one to supply the breakthrough for all of them.However, the opposition’s mid-laner, Milky, was using the Fist of Shadow, which was lethal to the Tidal Trickster. Any slight mistake would end up with
Pasha kept taunting Max with insults throughout the game, and it added to the already heated-up atmosphere.However, this time, the audience did not insult Max because his game with the Corean team had managed to shut them up.Max smiled a little when he saw the sarcastic look on Pasha’s face.“I'm just giving in to you because you’re a girl.”“You’re lying!”Pasha was unperturbed. “You’re already cornered by me. What else can you say?”Max smiled even wider when he saw her in disbelief. He quickly changed his game tactic.He had been roaming and farming along the way before this, but this time, he decided to focus directly on farming. He accumulated gold while preventing Pasha from getting any.He began to use his ability against Pasha, and she was killed within a minute.“This isn’t possible!”Pasha was in disbelief as she continued with the tournament. Max had suddenly changed his tactics, and her original strategy planned by her coach could not be utilized at all.When t
The crowd cheered the moment the tournament ended, and they kept shouting Max’s name.“That was incredible, Great Maximus. He’s the champion!”“Wow, the UN Club is amazing. They’re the best in the country. The Great Maximus is amazing!”“Good job, Great Maximus!”The audience who came from their country threw their caps into the air. Many of them had banners and trinkets representing the UN Club. They flung them into the air as well.Everyone was ecstatic.Even though esports was pretty popular within the country and they had great talents and teams, they had never won an international tournament before. The last time they participated in an international tournament, they had come in third.No one had expected much for this tournament, but Max managed to change that.He managed to defeat the unbeatable Flaco and won the world championship.It was incredible.The fans kept yelling in a frenzy as they vented their emotions as much as possible. Nathan quickly went up the stage a
Eva pinched Max’s cheek after Sigmund left. She asked softly, “Who was that?”“That’s Sigmund. He’s a professional player who's ranked fifth in the world. He’s also from the senior league, and he’s my friend.”Max introduced him proudly as he held Eva's and Nathan’s hands excitedly. He motioned for Mia to come along. “Come on, let’s go celebrate my victory!”Nathan and Eva looked at each other with a smile when they saw how happy he was.Max had won the world championship. Scott and Rose were happy for him as well. After some discussion, they decided to celebrate it at Venus, a restaurant next to Torch Square.Felix, Carlton, Simon, and the other team members were there too.Even the security team, Sophia, and Finn joined the celebration. Nathan reserved the entire restaurant, and they had a lively and happy celebration for Max.Everyone was drinking red wine except for Eva and the children, who drank juice instead. They toasted the occasion happily, and the clinking of glasses
Rose’s vineyard was huge, and the planting and management of it had been mechanized. There were not many workers around, and the group visited the vineyard with enthusiasm.There was a huge wine cellar right in the middle. They visited it right after enjoying the grapes.The wine cellar was massive and contained more than a hundred thousand bottles of expensive wine. The wine Rose had brought back for the wine-tasting event came from here.Scott’s eyes widened at the sight while he was looking around with Rose. His mouth was agape with astonishment.“This looks great.”He smiled at Rose and said, “It’s no wonder you insisted that I invest in the vineyard. It’s really profitable.”The wine quality in Rose’s vineyard was worth a high price.Rose smiled at his praise and turned toward Nathan with a look of delight. “What do you think, Nathan? It’s nice, isn’t it?”“It’s not bad.”Nathan replied nonchalantly and grabbed Max, who looked excited to try the wine.“You’re not allowed
Eva and Rose looked at each other when they heard this. Rose spoke up first, “Why?”“We’re a couple, and our seats are separated. Can we trouble you to swap seats with us, please?”The woman even lowered her head at them politely after that. Eva and Rose were quite easygoing people, and they immediately agreed to change seats with the couple.Eva and Rose ended up sitting separately instead.Rose turned to glance at Eva’s direction after taking her seat and suddenly frowned.That woman!The woman behind Eva looked familiar, but the lighting was not great at the show. The only bright lights were focused on the stage, and she could not remember where she had seen the woman before.Rose decided to not think about it.She shook her head slightly and turned back to the stage to watch the show.Eva did not notice the strange look on Rose’s face while seated. She focused on the show instead.The lingerie displayed in the fashion show looked amazing and sexy. The brand’s lingerie per
Rose finally took out her phone more than ten minutes later to call Nathan.That woman must have already taken Eva far away.Rose sneered in her heart, but she put on an anxious look on her face. She waited patiently for the call to be picked up, but no matter how many times she called, all she heard was the dial tone.Nathan did not have his phone turned on.He was still at the opera with the children and had to turn off his phone. The opera house required silence, which was considered basic manners.Princess Elsa was singing beautifully on stage while the children were captivated by her in the audience seat.Scott scratched his head out of boredom.He had never enjoyed opera, and he felt it to be boring. Besides, this opera was centered around a less modernized version of a Disney fairytale.It was extremely dull!He sighed softly when he saw Nathan watching it happily with the children. He gave Nathan a heads-up and he walked out of the hall. Scott turned on his phone and l
