"What … what did you say?" David asked surprisedly, as if he didn't hear Rebecca clearly. There was a hint of cautiousness in his inquiry. Rebecca didn't move and remained still. With her back facing David, she said casually, "I said I don't blame you. You don't have to apologize. I was just a bit shocked, plus … I was also feeling a bit sick."She could feel the pain throbbing deep in her nerves. She wouldn't be able to bear it even if she was made of steel. She then closed her eyes, hoping that it would make her feel better. She had no energy to utter any more words. Whether she was telling the truth or just messing up with David, David had finally calmed down too. Of course, it was not possible for her not to blame him. After all, she had never seen David behaving in that way. It was necessary for him to apologize to her because that was what she deserved.However, since David had been taking care of her for so many years, David did not need to be too apologetic as
Rebecca was feeling amused by the speed at which the messages were coming in. They were coming non-stop.She clicked on the pictures from Alex.The first one was the VIP ticket. The rest were pictures of the venue. Judging from the lighting, one can tell that the vibe was good.Soon enough, Alex sent a video.KVL finals would run for four days, and today was the first day.Alex sent a video that showed the six teams that would be competing in the finals entering the hall. With the host's passionate voice, one couldn't help but feel like they were part of the audience in the hall, cheering for their favorite team and anticipating the moment when their favorite team won the trophy. Before Rebecca could reply, Alex sent another video along with his own narration. The video was about the match itself. The players from both sides played a very exciting game. Alex actually didn't need to explain. Rebecca understood the rules of the game. One of the players from Team A will be
After deciding to use these few days as a buffer period, Rebecca wasted no time and immediately started packing her luggage.According to the guide sent by Alex, today was the first day of the competition. The entire season would last for four days. It meant that they had to stay in Crechester for at least a few days.They couldn't rush back overnight after watching the competition. If the matches dragged on and extra rounds were needed, the game would go on until the early morning. It would be foolish of them to rush back to Fairport instead of finding a hotel to rest.Moreover, Rebecca didn't agree to go to Crechester to just watch the competition.She had heard that Crechester was a picturesque city. There was a wetland park near the border with Fairport. It would be a good opportunity for her to explore the area.She didn't want to return to Fairport so soon, either.However, her family was here, and she was going to miss them a lot. She always reckoned that her parents a
The journey to Crechester went smoothly. It wasn't peak tourist season at this time of year, and with school about to start, most tourists had already left. The train wasn't too crowded as well, which was quite different from what Rebecca had seen in videos from abroad.From what she could recall, Fairport had always been a crowded city. It was terribly intimidating.But this journey had made her realize that was not always the case.Apart from the crowds, the newly renovated buildings had also caught her eye. If it weren't because she didn't have enough time, she would have taken her time and explored the nearby areas.The train from Fairport to Crechester took only half an hour, and the scenery along the journey was stunning.Rebecca had chosen a window seat. With her eyes wide open the entire journey, she rested her chin on her hand as she gazed at the rivers and trees.It was the end of summer, with autumn around the corner. There were no lotus flowers in the small ponds along the
"Bang!"Before the man could call Rebecca “pretty lady” again, a heavy thud echoed through the air. The passengers on the train all turned their heads after hearing the sound.As they turned and looked, they saw that Rebecca did a shoulder throw and slammed the man onto the ground. The whole coach went silent. Even the sound of the doors closing was lost to the silence.It was only when the doors closed completely, and the train started moving again that everyone was snapped out of their trance.The man was the first to react.Being thrown to the ground by a slender girl in front of so many people made the man feel absolutely embarrassed. As he got up from the ground, he started cursing at Rebecca. The cursing, mixed with a bunch of terribly vulgar words, made everyone feel uncomfortable.Rebecca couldn't help but furrow her brows. Even though she was still shocked that she had just successfully thrown an adult man to the ground with her bare hands, those dirty words di
The man was also someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.Upon hearing Rebecca's words, he immediately apologized, as he wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.His softened attitude was surprising, considering his earlier arrogance and disregard for others. Now, it was as if he could almost kneel down and kowtow to Rebecca.It was truly amusing to see.The farce didn't last long.Soon enough, the subway stopped at the next station. Taking advantage of the crowd getting on the train, the man swiftly squeezed his way out and disappeared from everyone’s sight.With that kind of agility, he might have actually thrived in cities like Seardale.After all, there were plenty of people like him in Seardale, but most of them couldn't run as fast as him. If caught, they would undoubtedly be beaten up.In this comparison, the man had definitely had it easy.Rebecca thought to herself and heaved a sigh. She then picked up her luggage, thanked the group of young, beautiful gi
In the pre-match predictions, based on XH Club's previous performance, they still had many fans who supported them. Although they barely made it into the playoffs, almost all the commentators predicted that XH still had a chance to win the championship.Unfortunately, due to Alex’s injury, he could only do so much.In fact, his determination had worsened the injury. He kept making mistakes during the playoffs, which caused the team to be eliminated in the very first round.They didn't even have a chance in the losers' bracket.What was even more embarrassing was that they lost to a small team from an overseas island state.As soon as the competition ended, criticism and insults flooded the internet.Not only was XH Club questioned and insulted by the fans and audiences, but the players themselves were also not spared.And at the forefront of these insults was Alex.After all, in esports, skills and strength were everything. No matter how great one was in the past, they would be critici
In the comments, there was no criticism but only a record of the matches Alex had played.There were the dates of the matches and the impressive moves he had made that impressed his teammates and the audience.They were shown through words and screenshots.These were not just Alex's achievements, but also moments they have gone through together.Rebecca had not watched the match when she first read the comments, nor had she even played this game, but she was moved by the words written by the fans.It was as if she used to be in the audience cheering for Alex.In addition to these touching words written about the matches, there were also some sincere apologies.They were not apologies for criticizing Alex’s bad performance. They apologized because they had criticized Alex when he was at his peak and said that the team he led was a cold-blooded team. They had said their victories were the results of intensive robotic training, with no passion and devotion for the game like the other tea
