The female emcee seemed shocked upon hearing Leon Batton’s humble response. “Only eighty out of a hundred? Don’t you think you deserve a hundred percent?”“No, I don’t think so,” he said.“Why not? I thought you were perfect,” she replied with a puzzled expression.“It wasn’t my best effort.”“Fine. Perhaps, this is the way of the strong. People like you always think you’re not perfect enough,” the emcee said thoughtfully. “I’m aware that you joined Team XS not that long ago. How are you getting along with everyone on your team? Are you used to life as a professional gamer?”“We get along very well. I’m also getting used to this lifestyle,” he replied.“You've gained a lot of fans from here tonight. What would you like to say to them?”“Thank you,” he said simply.“Well then, S, what is your goal as a professional gamer?”“To win the championship for my team,” he answered.“Okay. I believe you can do it, S.”“Thank you,” Leon said.“You're certainly a man of few words," she
That particular topic’s popularity was off the charts.Leon Batton’s teammates clicked on it when they saw the title, and the same content soon appeared on everyone’s screens.There were numerous screenshots of S during his first competition taken by marketing accounts and the LPL Region’s official account.There were so many pictures that even the nine-tile format wasn’t sufficient.Meanwhile, LPL Region’s fans had commented below the pictures—“Woah, he’s a god!”“I haven’t seen such a good player for many years.”“He’s a freak. There isn’t a player who is better than him for Team XS.”“Team XS is fortunate for always getting the best players.”“I heard this player is from a wealthy family, too. If he can’t do well as a professional gamer, he might have to return home to take over his family business.”“He’s handsome and skilled at gaming, too. Who wouldn’t love a guy like him?”“You all have one minute to find this handsome guy’s Weibo account!”“I doubt he's even create
No matter how well he performed, Leon Batton knew that he still needed a long time to surpass Alex.That was because Alex was a god-like existence to every Top Solo player in the world.Leon thought the same of Alex.However, Alex laughed when he heard what Leon had said, “You don’t have to be humble. I know you’ll definitely achieve greater feats than me if you keep working hard.”“You don’t know that for sure,” Leon replied.Alex’s smile gradually widened. From his perspective, his prediction was certain.Meanwhile, Lynette Batton was done with her homework. She soon saw Leon on the list of hot topics.Lynette initially wanted to watch the competition live.However, Lynette and Leon had too much homework over the weekend.On top of that, Leon couldn’t finish his own homework in time, so Lynette had to help him.Hence, Lynette was forced to stay at home and do all the homework.When Lynette saw the recap of how well Leon had played during the matches, she felt extremely pro
It was exactly like what Hannah’s classmates had said.After taking a deep breath, Hannah quietly clicked on a picture of Leon during the competition.In the picture, Leon wore a pair of expensive headphones while he focused on the computer screen. He clicked on the mouse with his long, slender fingers…Although the picture wasn’t edited, Leon looked perfect in it.Hannah couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the computer screen. She gently caressed Leon’s face on the screen.“Leon… You did very well today. You’re amazing…” Hannah murmured to herself.She genuinely felt happy for Leon.While feeling sorry for herself, she also felt happy because there’s another way she could see Leon…Moreover, she could do it openly without being afraid.The thought of this prompted her to quickly open LPL Region’s official ticketing website.She checked the schedule of Team XS’s next competition and the ticket price…Tickets for the first three rows cost a thousand each, while the third to
Hannah wasn’t surprised to hear this.Back when her family first encountered financial difficulties, her mother had already suggested this.However, Hannah didn’t listen to what her mother said. She persisted for Leon’s sake…Hannah frowned deeply and looked at her mother. “I… I’d still like to continue studying there.”Her mother also frowned. “Hannah, are you doing this for Leon Batton?”Hannah appeared shocked. “How did you know? Did you peek at my diary?”Mrs. Roland frowned further. “Why can’t I read it? I’m your mother.”“Just because you’re my mother doesn’t mean you can read my diary as you wish,” Hannah said.“Why not? There are no secrets between us,” Mrs. Roland replied.At this moment, Hannah felt that whatever she said was pointless.She knew that her mother hadn’t been emotionally well ever since their family encountered financial difficulties.Hence, she didn’t continue arguing with her mother.Instead, she looked down. “I hope you won’t do it again.”“That
“Never mind the fact that we went bankrupt. Now, your father even has cancer. I can’t imagine what we would do without your father…” Mrs. Roland cried even more profusely.“Where’s Daddy?” Hannah asked.Hannah felt her heart breaking at the sight of her mother crying.Her mother sobbed through her words. “He’s in the hospital. We only found out about the news today. He was hospitalized as soon as we found out…”“Hannah, come to the hospital with me. We’ll get the tests done to see if you’re a suitable donor. If you are, you’ll donate one of your kidneys to your father, alright?“I’ve already done the tests, and I’m not compatible with your father…” Mrs. Roland said in a panicked tone.Hannah nodded. Without saying anything, she directly stood up and went to change her clothes.Mrs. Roland felt glad to see this…“I have to pick up your brother from university to get the tests done too… If you end up being incompatible as well,” Mrs. Roland added.Hannah nodded again.After cha
The document clearly showed that Hannah was not a compatible kidney donor for her father…This meant she couldn’t save her father…Now, Hannah could only count on her older brother.If her brother was also an incompatible donor, they’d need to spend even more money to look for another kidney donor.That would make their lives even more miserable.Thinking about this made Hannah regret her earlier decision.She shouldn’t have continued attending the expensive school even when her family had gone bankrupt.If she hadn’t done that, and if she’d saved the money from selling her luxury items and from work, she wouldn’t have had to panic.This made Hannah feel even more guilty…She didn’t dare imagine how much their family would have to spend if her brother was also an incompatible donor.More importantly, she didn’t dare imagine how guilty she’d feel if her father died because they didn’t have enough money.Hannah felt fully confident before the tests were done.She felt that sh
They couldn’t imagine their lives without him…After taking a deep breath, Hannah directly walked over to her father and sat next to him. She held his hand tightly. “Daddy, I’m truly sorry… There’s nothing I can do to help…”However, her father shook his head. “Silly child. What are you saying? Why are you apologizing to me? This isn’t something anyone can control…”Hannah didn’t say anything. Instead, she directly threw herself into her father's arms and hugged him tightly.Her father’s hug was very warm.She never wanted to let go.She didn’t dare imagine how it would feel if she couldn’t hug her father again.Mrs. Roland looked at them. It was heart-wrenching.She didn’t dare to imagine how she’d survive with her children if her husband were gone.She wondered if she’d ever get used to living without him.If it was possible, she wished she could die in his place…Hannah stayed in her father’s ward for a long time and only left very late in the evening.Meanwhile, her mot
