MumChapter 572 Losers
No matter how hard Hero tried to persuade Catherine, her attitude remained the same. She was not going.
To others, it seemed like an extraordinary opportunity, but to Catherine, it was nothing.
Only Ronin knew how amazing Catherine was. Catherine could easily defeat those so-called invincible teams from Euphosean and effortlessly bring back the trophy of the World Gaming League.
After all, the mastermind behind Storm Technology was none other than Catherine. No one was more familiar with the games derived from game scripts developed by Storm Technology than its founder, Catherine.
If Catherine participated, it would be unfair to those players. It would be a one-sided game! Naturally, she wouldn’t participate in such an event.
Seeing that Hero was still not giving up, Ronin, with a cold face, mocked. ” Just give up. Haven’t you heard what Catherine said? She’s not interested. Or do you not understand Eskanese? Do you need me to translate for you?”
Hero persisted. “Catherine, I think you should consider it.”
Catherine was annoyed by his persistence. She stood up directly, facing him, her eyes exuding unusual dominance. “You want me to join your team?”
Hero thought Catherine had changed her mind, so he nodded happily, making a promise. “I can guarantee you the best treatment.”
No one knew that the sponsor of the Golden Star League Team was surnamed Spencer. The main source of funds was from the Spencers, one of the noble families in Loxton. It was because of the strong support from the Spencers that the Golden Star League Team could be provided with the best training facilities.
Hearing the conditions set by Hero, Catherine smiled coldly, her charming smile carrying captivating eeriness. “If I were to join, I only have one condition.
“You name it, I agree to it!” Hero eagerly replied. He was too excited and didn’t notice the smile in Catherine’s eyes. The smile seemed to be mocking Hero’s overestimation of himself.
The next moment, Catherine stated her condition. “It’s simple. Defeat me! I don’t team up with losers!”
This statement was both sarcastic and domineering. Hero hadn’t expected that, being praised as a genius since his first match, he would one day be rejected by others for his gaming skills. He was not even worthy of being her teammate!
Upon hearing Catherine’s words, the people around were stunned. Catherine’s statement was not only arrogant but also hurtful.
Hero fell silent for a moment. He had played against Catherine once before and had witnessed her battle with Stanley. He was certain that if he were in Stanley’s position then, he wouldn’t have been a match for Catherine. Her strength was just too overwhelming. If one victory were a fluke, the next two would certainly be a testament to her amazing gaming skills. Hero understood that he truly wasn’t a match for Catherine at the moment.
“Alright, I accept your condition. Give me a month. If I still can’t defeat you after a month, I promise I won’t bother you again!” Hero said. After he finished speaking, Catherine nodded faintly, agreeing to his request.
The people around were in an uproar. The player who had been hailed as the best in Eskana’s history was now being so humble in front of an unknown player. They were all fans of Hero and couldn’t bear such an insult. Hero didn’t get angry, but they did.
“What’s with your arrogant attitude, Catherine?”
“Hero, why are you being so humble in front of her?”
“She’s a good shot but nothing more. How arrogant she is…”
“Yeah, exactly…”
If anyone else had heard these words, they could have taken it, but when Ronin heard them, he exploded with rage. “How dare they insult Catherine like this?” he bellowed inwardly. “They are asking for trouble!”
Ronin immediately retorted, “You bunch of fools, are you blind? Didn’t you hear what your idol said? If he can beat Catherine, must he practice for a month? Catherine has extraordinary gaming skills. Why should she be humble? Are you guys not satisfied? Fine, defeat Catherine in a one-on-one!
Ronin scolded everyone who complained earlier, and they were no match for him. They couldn’t even get a word in edgewise.
One thing Ronin said was right-Hero had admitted he wasn’t as good as Catherine. If he were better than her, they could settle it in a live match. There was no need to wait for a month.
After Ronin’s retort, no one could say anything. Catherine’s interest was fading. She was tired and had to show the experimental report to Rodge.
Seeing Catherine stand up and leave, no one dared to stop her. It was mainly because of Catherine’s overwhelming presence, which made people feel like stopping her would be seeking death.
Ronin, hands in his pockets, followed behind Catherine, playing the role of a dutiful second-in-command.
Amelia watched as the two of them left and then followed suit to depart. However, she didn’t have the courage of the two big shots. She bid farewell to the president of the club obediently before stepping out of the club.
After the three of them left, the remaining people couldn’t help but start whispering, “Oh my, Catherine looks so cool, doesn’t she? Do you know where she comes from?”
Another student immediately approached and whispered, “I inquired about her yesterday. I heard she’s the top student from Casier, and Professor Hartley personally recruited her.”
“Really? The top student from Casier? Isn’t she a genius?”
“She’s good-looking, smart, and even excels in gaming. How can she be good at everything?”
That made sense. To become the top student in such a competitive city showed just how outstanding she was.
“Sigh, comparison is the thief of joy!”
At the Facers’.
After Jada got humiliated in the cafeteria, she immediately went to investigate Catherine’s background. She felt like she had missed something last time, so this time, she directly arranged for someone to go to Casier to thoroughly investigate her.
At ten o’clock in the evening, the person sent to investigate Catherine finally brought back news for her.
“Miss Facer, I found it. Here are the documents. Please take a look.”
While Jada was scanning the documents, the investigating personnel took the initiative to explain on the side, “Currently, the head of the Swanns has changed from Korbin Swann to Catherine Swann. It’s said that Catherine has confined Korbin.”
To be able to change the ownership of the Swanns in just half a year, it seemed that Catherine was indeed powerful.
Jada didn’t understand before why Branden would care so much about this girl. It turned out that behind this girl was the Swanns.
The Duncans wanted to expand their business in Loxton and also wanted to retain their foundation in Casier. Marrying the daughter of the Swanns, one of the Four Noble Families of Casier, was the best way.
Jada thought she had now found the key to the problem. As long as she destroyed the Swanns, Catherine would be nothing.
After Jada thought of a solution, a sinister smile appeared on her face. She vowed to witness the downfall of the Swanns with her own eyes. She wanted to see Catherine kneel before her, begging for forgiveness.
