Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 186

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Cordelia’s message pinged through to her adversary, “I’m not looking to apologize, just to settle the score.”

Cordelia was the kind of person who generally couldn’t care less about most things. If Sweetheart had just thrown some shade her way, it would’ve rolled right off her back. But a direct hit? That got under her skin.

To the uninitiated, it’s just a game, right? Why not just switch accounts? But to a true gamer, their handle is a badge of honor.

Cordelia’s account was a month’s worth of hard graft, rising from a newbie to a top–tier player, hoarding skins, gems, runes, and the like. There was emotional investment there.

When Sweetheart saw the message, she let out a derisive snort. “No apology, how do you propose we resolve this?”

LearnLover shot back, “Let’s settle it in the game one–on–one, winner takes all. If I win, you apologize. If you

win, I’ll ditch the account.”

One–on–one meant a duel, player versus player.

A smile flickered across Sweetheart’s face. “Which hero will you use? I’m not all–powerful, you know. If you use your best hero and beat me, that’s no true victory. I won’t stoop to that.”

LearnLover replied simply, “You choose.”

Sweetheart read the message aloud, and the chat went wild with mockery.

–“Haha, does she not know Sweetheart is dubbed the ‘Midlane Monarch?”

–“I’ve seen people seek their doom, but never quite like this!”

–“Is she rushing to her own funeral? I checked her account; she’s only been playing a month, mostly duo with Jungler, coasting on support wins!”

–“Sweetheart’s support might not be as good, but in a duel? Sit back and watch her crush the newbie!”

Sweetheart chuckled, “Well, you said it. Alright then, let’s take it to midlane.”

She named her midlane character of choice. But Cordelia’s response was unexpected, “Give me two minutes to familiarize myself with this hero’s abilities.”

Sweetheart broadcast the chat to her live stream, and the viewers erupted in laughter.
