When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira caught the outcome of the match and wasn't the least bit surprised. It's bound to happen.

Had Alaric not insisted on Evelina being his gunner and perhaps brought in another top-notch player, they might not have faced such a humiliating defeat. Maybe they wouldn't have lost at all. But Alaric had to put Evelina in the game, was it to prove that Evelina alone was enough?

Looked like Alaric hadn't changed one bit. Huh, Lemira cracked a smile, just wondering whether Alaric was actually satisfied with this outcome.

Well, she certainly was.

Back in the previous life, she had worked her fingers to the bone to secure the championship for her team, only to be replaced by Evelina at the last minute, who then clinched the title.

This time, she had stepped down from the competition herself, only to witness Alaric's defeat.

Alaric, up on the stage, didn't look too pleased and made a beeline for the exit.

The victorious team was being interviewed by reporters, and their captain glanced down at Lemira, "This match was a breeze, honestly. We had braced ourselves, thinking we might get knocked out. Never imagined Lemira would sit this one out and hand us the win on a silver platter."

If Lemira had been in the game, with her ability to pull off a twelve-hit combo, their victory was far from certain.

Lemira, sipping on her soda, was handed a microphone by a reporter, "Ms. Langston, any thoughts on today's game?"
