No longer a pushover

Chapter 299

Noelle found it hard to believe she was this well-known.

Cedric felt an ominous feeling strike him. He stepped in to grab Magnus by the arm. "This kid here publicly confronted Lucas and tried to recruit you to his team."

"Oh right, I remember now. They fought back and forth online."

Noelle looked at Cedric and seemed puzzled. "By the way, he called you Ced. Are you two close friends or perhaps related?"

"Yeah, we're... Ouch!" Magnus felt a sharp pinch in his back before he could finish. Grimacing in pain, he turned to Cedric and snapped. "What was that for!"

He had been trying to make a good impression on Noelle, but why would Cedric pinch him for that? What the fuck was wrong with him?

Noelle pointed at the two and commented, "You're definitely related, aren't you? You share the same last name."

Then, a thought struck her. Were Magnus and Cedric related? But Magnus was from the prominent Greene family in Yasnia!

She turned to Cedric with a serious expression. "Why have you never mentioned your connection to the Greenes?"

Cedric nervously explained, "We just happen to share the same last name."
