Chapter 571 Invitation
They arrived at the esports club. Unlike the other clubs where people had to be repeatedly asked to attend, many came in advance, though the agreed time was 8 o’clock.
When Catherine and her group arrived, almost all of the people arrived.
Knowing Catherine was not much of a talker, Amelia took on the role of spokesperson for the trio as soon as they entered. She found a senior student in charge of recruitment and introduced Ronin.
“This is Catherine’s brother. He also likes playing games. He wants to join the esports club.”
Upon hearing that he was Catherine’s brother and was also a fan of gaming, the senior student immediately perked up. She reached out her hand to Ronin. “Welcome to the esports club!”
Ronin politely thanked her, “Thank you!”
Amelia, who was standing on the side, was astonished. The reputation of ” 11 Super Catherine” really worked wonders.
Catherine felt a gaze fixed on her and instinctively looked towards the corner of the room, where she saw a young man sitting quietly. His head was slightly raised, his eyes staring in her direction.
His large cap obscured his face, making it impossible for Catherine to see him clearly, but she was sure he was staring at her.
Catherine glanced at him and then shifted her focus away. She found a seat and sat down, followed by Amelia and Ronin.
Ronin also noticed the gaze. He asked Catherine quietly, “Catherine, who’s that guy? Why’s he been staring at you?
His voice was not loud, but Amelia overheard.
Out of curiosity, she turned her head to stare in the direction pointed by Ronin. The moment she saw the guy, she was taken aback. She seemed unsure, and after a few more seconds of observation, she suddenly raised her voice in surprise.
“Wow…”
Her strange behavior startled Ronin, and even Catherine silently furrowed her brow.
Ronin patted his chest, looking at Amelia disdainfully. “Are you crazy? What’s with the sudden outburst?”
Amelia pointed to the corner, her voice trembling with excitement. “It’s Hero! It’s Hero!”
The veteran members of the esports club were obviously aware that the guy sitting in the corner was Hero. Compared to the excitement of a starstruck girl, they remained much calmer. In fact, they were used to such behavior from Amelia. Quite a few girls in the school were fans of Hero, and their reactions to seeing him were far more exaggerated than Amelia’s.
Perhaps because his identity had been revealed, Hero no longer maintained his air of mystery. He got up and walked in their direction.
Amelia watched her idol step towards her. Her breath instantly caught. Her heart raced, and an inexplicable burning sensation spread throughout her body. She rehearsed the first lines she would say to her idol repeatedly in her mind. Just as she was about to speak, her idol spoke first.
“Hello, Catherine! I am Hero, and you can also call me by my Eskanan name, Drake Spencer.”
Amelia almost choked on her saliva. Her idol wasn’t here for her but for Catherine.
After realizing the truth, Amelia immediately made room for her idol to have a close exchange with Catherine.
The people around were shocked after witnessing this historic moment! It was the first time they had seen Hero initiate a conversation with someone. If they hadn’t witnessed Catherine’s gaming skills, they might have thought Hero was only interested in her beauty. After all, her stunning face was enough to captivate anyone. But they all knew how amazing her gaming skills were.
Indeed, talents were always treated specially. Being good at games was also an advantage. Catherine nodded politely and continued playing with her phone.
Standing beside her, Hero, hailed as the strongest game player in Eskana and the idol of countless girls, was being treated as if he were invisible by Catherine. This attitude shocked everyone.
Although Catherine was also a great player, her behavior towards Hero seemed too arrogant. But Hero didn’t feel the slightest bit slighted. To him, Catherine was like a puzzle, attracting him and making him want to delve deeper to understand her.
Before meeting Catherine, he had imagined countless scenarios but never imagined that she would be so beautiful. She was truly stunning, like an angel from Heaven, so beautiful that people were even afraid to look directly at her.
Having heard of the reputation of Hero, Ronin had been observing him for a while. Every game player knew about this big shot.
Ronin was somewhat interested in learning about Hero. But after seeing Hero’s attitude towards Catherine, Ronin was only worried that there would be one more person competing with him. Therefore, he was now full of dissatisfaction with Hero.
Ronin called out in a bad mood, “Drake, have you seen enough? Has no one taught you basic manners? How dare you to stare at a girl like that?”
Hero’s thoughts were interrupted by Ronin, and he also realized it was inappropriate, quickly looking away and gesturing an apology. After some hesitation, he decided to speak up. ” Can I ask you a question?”
Seeing the other party persist, Catherine raised her eyes with a cold look. “You can ask, but I may not answer.”
Hero smiled faintly, not getting angry at Catherine’s arrogant attitude. “Okay! “His voice was gentle and pleasant. “Is your ID ‘Sugar’?”
Ronin was stunned. It turned out that Hero was here to look for Catherine. He stood quietly on the side without saying anything, not knowing what Catherine was thinking.
Catherine responded with a cold attitude. “Guess for yourself.”
Although Catherine didn’t admit it, Hero already knew the answer. If Catherine was not the person he was looking for, her first reaction should have been to ask him what this ID was rather than letting him guess.
Knowing the answer, Hero was pleased. The puzzle that had plagued him for a week was finally solved. He excitedly said to Catherine, “Catherine, you are qualified to join the League Team. Are you interested in joining our Golden Star League Team?”
Catherine was already a bit impatient. ” This guy called Hero sure talks a lot,” she thought. She directly refused. “Not interested. Go away!”
Upon hearing Catherine’s response, everyone present was shocked. This was Hero, the best player. The team he led was also the best in the Eskana Gaming League and the most likely to win the World Gaming League championship trophy.
However, Catherine refused him like this. She was so arrogant! People speculated that Hero must be angry.
However, Hero’s attitude remained the same. He looked at Catherine with an appreciative look in his eyes. “Please consider it again. I sincerely hope that you can join our team!”
