Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 249

The coach left feeling light-headed, still half-convinced he was in the middle of a surreal dream.

Could it really be that X had joined their EW Club team for an eSports competition?

It was like something out of a fantasy!

As the coach had anticipated, the officials were surprisingly lenient about their last-minute addition of a player.

They looked at the coach of EW Club with a mix of pity and sympathy. After all, the team had been through a rough patch, akin to a series of unfortunate events.

EW Club, having clinched the championship three times in a row, had become the rock stars of the eSports world, attracting a massive following-the crème de la crème of the gaming community.

The officials genuinely felt for them.

So, in a comforting tone, one official said, "Don't worry, every cloud has a silver lining. Be brave. Now, what's the ID of this new player you're adding?" The coach lifted his chin slightly, "X."

Official: "What?"

Having been in the industry for years, the official knew exactly who X was. At one point, they even suspected X might be an Al, given his dominance in the game. They'd even asked him for identification and had to nerf a character just because he was too good, disrupting the game's balance.

Back then, X was unyielding, refusing to provide identification and challenging any threats to ban his account. X was, without a doubt, a whale in the gaming world, causing the officials quite the headache since he wouldn't consider any form of collaboration.

But then X disappeared from the gaming scene, leaving the officials almost nostalgic for his presence.

And now, EW Club had managed to bring X back as a substitute player? Incredible!

The coach, chin now higher, confirmed, "Yes, you heard right. It's him. Hurry up and register him, we need to get ready for the match." "Oh, alright, alright."

As the match was about to start, the members of EW Club made their way to the stage.

On their way, Cordelia stopped reviewing her English vocabulary to focus on the team's strategy. They discussed their tactics as they walked, with Cordelia listening intently.

Everard, following behind her, suddenly took off her white baseball cap, letting her black hair, tied in a ponytail, cascade down her back. He then placed the cap on his own head.

Cordelia paused, turning to look at him.

Everard grinned, "Makes me look younger."
