SWalker and Last Coin were on their way to the restaurant.


    Jake told them toe as everyone else from their team was there.


    It was time to bond together and talk about each other''s skills and weaknesses.


    "I''m curious who the remaining teammates are," Last Coin said.


    SWalker nodded. "We may get surprised again since he''s invited that ouw woman to our team."


    The rendezvous spot was Jake''s favorite restaurant, where he was familiar with everyone, including the chef and even the boss.


    Just two days ago, he had a party with his friends and now invited another group of yers who were willing to spend a lot on food and drinks.


    He was more than wee here!


    SWalker and Last Coin mentioned Jake''s nickname and were guided upstairs to the private room.


    Upon opening the door, a scene none of them were prepared for unfolded.


    In the right corner, El Boss Queen was tucked in. She sat with her arms crossed. Her eyes were stered to the window beside her as she refused to look across her.


    Her cheeks were reddened.


    Peace''s attitude clearly described what was happening in this private room.


    She sat straight with her face in her hands, looking at the man perched before her through her fingers. She was flushed from head to neck, and her eyes twinkled with stars.


    Beside her, trembling, Shaw sat with his clenched hands resting on his thighs. Faint growls were escaping from him as various thoughts ran across his head.


    He muttered, "I''m meant to be a dragon yer."


    The party was in such a dense mood because of Damien Twice. He was more popr than Jake had thought.


    He sat with his helmet off in the middle of the left sofa. The second he exposed his face, the storm began.


    Peace squealed and covered her face.


    El Boss Queen blushed and felt a squeeze in her heart. It was like love at first sight. She didn''t know this man at all, yet he was so handsome that she mellowed and sat like a tamed kitten in the corner of the room.


    Her crossed arms disyed fake confidence. In truth, she had never been so defenseless.


    Beside Damien, sitting across from El Boss Queen, Sin ckberry casually drank tea. She was so indifferent to this scene, as though she had been a part of something simr numerous times.


    Jake was on Damien''s right.


    He was also the closest to the new arrivals.


    He smiled at them. "Ah, take seats, guys."


    Last Coin unconsciously edged away from Damien Twice. He took Shaw''s side and sat down next to him.


    "What is this dragon yer topic?" he asked him.


    Shaw spoke through gritted teeth, "This man''s a dragon. He''s also Peace''s celebrity crush… he made me realize that I am meant to be a dragon yer, not a dragon."


    "I see…" Last Coin replied, but I''m slightly lost in this exnation.


    SWalker sat on Jake''s side.


    He asked, "What''s happening here?"


    Damien Twice replied in Jake''s stead.


    He raised his hands up and took the crown of the meeting.


    It seemed like he was wielding a king''s scepter with how easily he snatched everyone''s attention.


    He said, "Alrighty! Everyone''s here! Stop sniffing on my grand mor, and let''s get down to the business! I want to win this entire esports tournament. Nowadays, actors from North America aren''t as popr as actors from the previous generations. I won''t get into details about it, but I''ll do anything to get to the international scene."


    "My boy will lend you all his strength, Damien!" Peace screamed like a fan girl.


    Shaw contorted his face. It was his turn to be the mad dog of the team.


    "Thank you, you beautiful soul," Damien replied to Peace.


    She sank into her seat, and her voice hitched, "—he called me beautiful…"


    Damien looked at his sister and said, "My dear sister will do anything to help me achieve that goal. But what about the rest? Why do you want to be an esports yer?"


    Jake raised his hand, recognizing that everyone else wasn''t asfortable around Damien as he was.


    He said, "I want to be an esports yer to get fame and turn this game into a job. Because of my y style, I have many limited routes. I see a lot of incentives in this path. It should open many more options for a future me who wants to focus on archery."


    Damien chuckled, "That''s my dark horse!"


    Shaw mmed his fists on the table.


    He stood up and said, "I''ll be stronger and earn so much through this esports fame that I will be a dragon yer of the low levels! You''re my first target, Damien Twice! I''ll be so much damn stronger and more handsome than you that you will pale when standing beside me!"


    Prince whistled. "Ah, my artistic senses are tingling so much! You! I like you! That''s the rivalry I want to get on board with! It''s stirred by your love and jealousy!" He looked at I Come In Peace with a provoking re, "I hope you aren''t just a cute mantis."


    Shaw felt his blood boiling.


    This man saw through his current character.


    He sneered. "You want to take this outside?"


    SWalker butted in, "Hold this spar forter, you two." He said his resolution, "I''m participating in the esports scene because that''s what I want to do. I want to step on my path, not the one prepared by my parents. There''s a lot to prove, but I swear to do everything and more to win this tournament."


    Last Coin was mentioned in the conversation as everyone''s eyesnded on him, bar El Boss Queen.


    He weakly said, "I want to ovee my fears… I was told that gaming is the only thing I''m good at, so I want to be better at everything rted to it."


    "Sounds like a main character arc! Lovely!" Damien Twice responded to Last Coin''s deration in his way, making him blush. Last Coin felt more weed.


    He turned to the oddball of the team. "What about you, a shy soul?"


    "I am—" El Boss Queen sharply retorted and turned her head to the side, only to hitch as Damien''s eyes reflected her face. She grew so red that she couldn''t maintain her usualposure.


    She whispered, "I''m doing this to be stronger, too."


    Shaw harrumphed, "Don''t you just want to fight Archer?"
