Chapter 273: Lysander

Indeed!

Audrey Woodwind glanced up and saw Jared Farrell dressed in a black suit, standing sideways by a pile of pastries, looking down as if searching for something. He was tall with long legs, one hand in his pocket, accentuating his broad shoulders and narrow waist. A rare gentle smile graced half of his handsome face, though it was unclear what he was thinking about.

Despite his uncharacteristically gentle demeanor, Audrey Woodwind dared not greet him. She remembered how Jared Farrell had humiliated Lily Ward before. Even though Lily Ward's eyes occasionally fell on Jared Farrell as soon as she entered the banquet hall, she dared not approach him.

This man was cold to every woman except Tina. Audrey guessed correctly that Jared Farrell was indeed thinking about Tina. He scanned the table of pastries and found a strawberry cake in the middle. Just as he reached out to take it, another slender hand reached out simultaneously, and they both grabbed the plate of strawberry cake, startled.

Jared Farrell looked up to meet the owner of the other hand-a handsome young man with a high nose bridge, beautiful phoenix eyes, and thin pink lips. The young man looked at him with slight surprise, "Mr. Farrell likes strawberry cake too?" Jared Farrell recognized the handsome young man as Lysander, the only son of Hawk from the Emerson family. Normally, he wouldn't pay attention to someone who had just entered Ashbury's elite circle. However, he had heard his cousin Orson mention Lysander often enough to remember him.

Orson and Lysander were both regarded as genius esports players. Lysander had become a professional player at fifteen, leading his club to seven consecutive championships under a mysterious coach and earning seven FMVPs himself. Orson, who also became a professional player that same year, spent a year on the bench before becoming a starting player. Though Orson's club later won two championships and he earned two FMVPs, people often compared him unfavorably to Lysander.

Lysander's club had experienced consecutive defeats this season, dropping from Group S to Group B. Yet he still received higher praise than Orson. People said Lysander was too loyal to switch teams and was dragged down by older teammates with declining skills. Otherwise, with his talent, he could have won another championship with a better team. This made Orson resentful of Lysander, often cursing him in front of Jared Farrell.

It was hard for Jared Farrell not to remember Lysander.
