Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 237

Cordelia picked up gaming strategies like a champ. After only a couple of glances, she had already mastered Karl's combo moves. She leaned towards her computer screen, eyes locked and loaded.

Karl launched a series of attacks, but Cordelia, as though she had seen it coming from miles away, dodged perfectly.

Karl was fuming, "Dodging again? Are you even playing?"

He surged forward, his temper flaring more with each step. In-game, Cordelia turned around sharply. With a calm voice, she declared, "Game on!"

Karl had just used up his skills, leaving him vulnerable. Cordelia seized the moment, teleporting behind him, and gave him the fright of his life. Then, without missing a beat, she unleashed her ultimate move right in his face!

Her fingers danced across the keyboard, outpacing Karl's earlier performance. Her moves were faster, her strikes more accurate... She blocked his retreat, leaving him no chance to escape. It was a flawless comeback from the brink of defeat!

From the sidelines, Floyd squinted, admiring her skill. Cordelia's gameplay reminded him of the legends of the old-school arcade heroes, the ones who ruled the gaming world before e-sports became a thing. He thought, if only those arcade legends had taken to e-sports...

Floyd glanced at Everard, who was nonchalantly watching Cordelia, and then looked away.

Just then, the game announced a kill!

Floyd blinked in disbelief, as did Cordelia, her eyes widening in shock.
