Chapter 135

Anthea greeted the man with a courteous nod, “Hello, Mr. A.”

“Hello, Mr. A adjusted his microphone, “Shall we begin?” His voice was warm and pleasant, a contributing factor to his popularity.

“Let’s do this.” replied Anthea.

Mr. A initiated the game, “Just so you know, I’ve made it to the national finals before. I’ll make you easy.”

Anthea followed, “Mr. A, it’s still a game. I don’t take kindly to handouts.”

Mr. A chuckled and shook his head in resignation, “Alright, then.”

The match began, and the chatroom started buzzing with anticipation.

‘Go, streamer! You can do this!”

‘Mr. A is professional, no shame in losing to him. Go, girl!‘

On Mr. A’s side, the tone was different.

‘This newbie streamer is so full of herself! Does she think she can beat Mr. A?*

‘This streamer is getting cocky!‘”

‘She is totally over her head.”

The tension on the board escalated.

Anthea remained nonchalant, even finding the time to joke with her fans amid the growing crisis on the board.

One viewer asked Anthea what she would do if she lost.
