Ch. 1011..1020
Chapter 1011
Tyler Terrell treated Daisy Cox with respect despite being attracted to her.
He had always respected her. Apart from the daily hand-holding and hugging, he wouldn't do anything to her that overstepped boundaries. Even if she initiated it, he would refuse.
Each time, his reason would be that she was still too young, and he couldn't bear to touch her. He wanted to wait until she was a little older. After listening to Daisy's story, Xyla Quest suddenly had an even better impression of Tyler.
Firstly, he was very kind.
Secondly, he was also a man of principles.
If he were like any other ordinary man, he wouldn't have been able to restrain himself when a young girl of seventeen threw herself at him.
Yet, Tyler wasn't like that.
He must really love her deeply to be able to protect her like this.

After the meal, Xyla elegantly wiped her mouth with the white handkerchief on the table. After that, she re-applied her lipstick. "Daisy, where do you want to go this afternoon?"
Daisy smiled. "I'd like to continue shopping..."
"Are you a shopaholic?" Xyla asked.
Daisy continued to laugh. "Hehe..."
"Alright then..." Xyla said.
Agreeing with Daisy's request, Xyla brought her to shop in Goldfield Plaza once more.
By the time the two of them left the shopping mall with their bodyguards, it was already five o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, lights were just turned on in the huge Atlantis. A sea of green and red lights could be seen near and far, and it seemed very majestic.
Daisy felt a little hungry again, and she gently rubbed her stomach. "Pretty Sister, shall we cross the street for some Japanese food?"
"Are you hungry again?" Xyla asked.
Since they had a very late lunch, Xyla still wasn't feeling hungry at all.
Daisy ate a lot more than she did during lunch. However, surprisingly, she was hungry again...
"Alright, let's have Japanese food. After dinner, we'll look for a dessert place. We'll sit down for some dessert and a glass of milk tea, is that alright?" Daisy added.
Whenever they talked about food, Daisy's dark eyes would glisten.
Without a doubt, Daisy was a true foodie.
"Okay." Xyla couldn't refuse when she saw how enthusiastic Daisy seemed.
Beep, beep, beep-
While the two were speaking, Xyla's phone started to ring.
Seeing that it was Alex calling, Xyla immediately answered the call.
"What's up, Alex?" Xyla asked.
"It's about our team's ADC, Canelo. His father just died in a car accident. He's heading home now. Boss, we have a match tomorrow... Will you be able to help us out tomorrow?" Alex asked. When Xyla heard this, she agreed with hesitating. "Sure..."
After hanging up the phone, she called Canelo to offer her condolences...
After doing so for a long while, Xyla finally hung up. She reached for Daisy's hand and was prepared to get into her car.
"I want to go to the restroom. Pretty Sister, please wait for me..." With that, Daisy let go of Xyla's hand. She ran directly into the KFC on the ground floor of the shopping mall.
Eight bodyguards dressed in black followed closely behind her.
***
After using the restroom, Daisy washed her hands and was ready to push the door open to leave.
Just then, a loud noise could be heard outside-
Chapter 1012
Chapter 1012
"Do you think an apology solves everything? Do you know how expensive my shoes are?"
It was a woman's voice. She sounded very angry, and the way she spoke Country Z's language was not very fluent. Daisy Cox could instantly tell that she was a foreigner.
"I'm really sorry. How much is it? I'll pay you back." It sounded like Daisy's bodyguard.
"Pay it back? Can you afford it?" The woman spoke again.
Hearing that, Daisy immediately pushed the door open.
The woman outside the door was wearing a red, traditional outfit. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and her makeup was of the standard occident style. Wearing a pair of white, velvet high heels, she had her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her facial expression exuded an air of arrogance.
Behind this lady with blonde hair were over twenty bodyguards dressed in black. Each one of them had a fierce expression on their faces.
Daisy knew that her bodyguard must have accidentally stepped on her shoes.
She immediately walked up to the lady with blonde hair. "I'm sorry. How much are these? I'll pay you back."
"This is a custom-made model. There's only one pair of these in the world... It's not something money can buy," the blonde lady said again. "So, how do you want to deal with this?" Daisy asked.
She still wanted to keep things under control and try to resolve the matter. Being in a foreign country, she didn't want to cause any trouble. Although the blonde lady didn't have a good attitude, Daisy could understand it.
"I want him to kneel before me..." The blonde lady said. There was a look of arrogance in her eyes.
The harsh words provoked Daisy, and she felt very unhappy about it.
Although she was unhappy, she still tried to maintain her composure. "Let's do it this way. Tell me what brand this is. I'll get the brand to make you another pair. Will that work?"
"No way... If he doesn't kneel today, nobody can leave..." The blonde hair pointed at a bodyguard behind Daisy. She seemed determined.
With that, she waved at the bodyguards dressed in black behind her.
Soon, the bodyguards dressed in black surrounded Daisy and the rest.
"Kneeling down is too humiliating. That's impossible." With that, Daisy quickly took out a silver card from her pocket and handed it over to the blonde lady. "There's 200,000 in here... It should be enough for you to buy a new pair of heels, right?"
Most brands basically sold their custom-made heels at this price.
Daisy knew that the other party was unreasonable, and she didn't want to stay in this mess. Hence, she looked at the bodyguards behind her. "Let's go."
After saying that, she led the bodyguards away.
However, the blonde lady did not intend to let them go. She directly waved her hand at her bodyguards.
The bodyguards then quickly came forward to block the exit, trapping Daisy and the others inside.
When Daisy saw this, she immediately frowned unhappily. She turned to look at the blonde lady. "What are you doing?"
"Today, your subordinate must kneel before me. If he doesn't, none of you can leave... Although the money you offered was enough, I'm still not satisfied." With that, the blonde lady flicked her bright red fingernail. She emanated a vibe that told one she was not to be messed with.
Although this girl in front of her was dressed very well, and she was surrounded by bodyguards, the blonde lady didn't care.
That was because not many people in this world could afford to offend her man.
"I don't want to argue with you... Today, you'll have to let us go," Daisy continued to speak politely.
This blonde woman was repeatedly testing her limits. Daisy was beginning to find it intolerable.
"What if I don't?" the blonde lady asked.
Daisy couldn't take it anymore, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she waved at her own bodyguards.
The bodyguards instantly pulled their guns out and pointed them at the blonde lady's face.
However, the blonde lady still seemed calm.
Chapter 1013
Chapter 1013
The bodyguards behind the blonde woman also pulled out their guns in unison and pointed them in Daisy Cox's direction...
A huge battle was about to break out.
Daisy, who was in the center of the possible gunfight, and the blonde lady both seemed calm.
"If you're a sensible person, get that piece of sh*t to apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll kill you with my guns. You can't afford to offend me," the blonde lady said through gritted teeth.
Xyla Quest brought her bodyguards to the entrance. That was when she witnessed the tense situation in front of her...
However, Xyla wasn't frantic. She directly waved at the bodyguards behind her. They, too, drew their guns out and pointed them at the blonde lady's bodyguards.
When customers in the KFC saw this, they fled...
The employees, on the other hand, quickly called the cops.
It was a very chaotic scene.
When the blonde lady saw this happening, she still maintained her arrogance. She quickly turned to look at Xyla. "Who are you? If you're sensible, don't be nosy and just mind your own business." When Daisy saw Xyla, she immediately gave her a gentle smile.
Xyla smiled back at Daisy. After that, she calmly brushed aside the bodyguards in front of her and walked directly over to Daisy. "What's going on?"
Daisy instantly told Xyla everything that happened.
After hearing her explanation, Xyla immediately frowned.
Clearly, that blonde lady was in the wrong...
Xyla turned to look at the blonde lady right away. "Since she's already paid you back and apologized to you. On my behalf, let's not make this a big deal..." Xyla found this woman quite familiar.
Upon taking a closer look at the blonde lady's face, Xyla finally recalled.
This woman seemed to be a mistress of Country G's former president. She had been on gossip-related magazines before.
The former president of Country G was very powerful in Country G's political realm. He had many enterprises in Country G, and his wealth rivaled that of the country itself. Not only that, but he also had a lot of top-notch friends in Country Z's political realm.
For example, Country Z's president was on very good terms with him.
That explained why this woman dared to behave so arrogantly in Country Z.
"On your behalf? Who do you think you are?" The blonde lady was too arrogant. She didn't even think anything of Xyla.
"Since you're not willing to compromise, I'll have to teach you a lesson on how to be a decent human being." With that, Xyla waved at the bodyguards who came with her.
Within three seconds, her bodyguards took down all the blonde lady's bodyguards.
The opponents didn't even get a chance to open fire.
When the blonde lady saw this happening, she became extremely terrified...
However, she still tried to pretend to be calm when she looked at Xyla. "Hurry up and get your people to release my men."
As soon as the blonde lady finished speaking, Xyla grabbed her by the shoulders and tossed her to the ground.
Xyla instantly felt much better.
Everything happened within a second.
Xyla's move was clean and direct. It was very cool to watch!
Suddenly, Daisy felt much better too.
The blonde lady was aching throughout her body. She tried to get up but couldn't. Hence, she stayed on the ground. Panting, she took her phone out and looked for 'Darling' in her list of contacts before making a call. "I've been bullied. I'm in the KFC on the ground floor of Goldfield Plaza..."
Chapter 1014
Chapter 1014
"There are many of them. Bring more people with you." After saying that, the woman ended the call and painfully got up from the floor. Panting, she pointed at Xyla Quest's face. "Don't leave if you dare!" "Fine, I won't." Xyla wasn't afraid at all. She grabbed Daisy Cox's hand and walked over to the wall before leaning against it lazily.
Xyla wanted to teach this woman a lesson today so that she wouldn't bully other people next time.
When one of Xyla's bodyguards saw this, he quickly moved two chairs over and placed them in front of Xyla and Daisy.
Xyla tugged at Daisy to sit down.
The blonde lady, on the other hand, grabbed her phone tightly and leaned against the wall. "I'll teach you how to be a decent human being today."
Xyla couldn't be bothered. She didn't even look at the blonde woman.
Instead, she took her phone out and checked out the hot topics for the day on Weibo.
***
After approximately ten minutes, a helicopter landed in front of the KFC's entrance.
Right after that, up to a hundred men dressed in black hopped off it.
After landing, the men dressed in black, quickly stood in two rows at the entrance of the cabin.
The huge scene caused countless passersby to gather around.
While everyone watched, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit elegantly got off the helicopter and walked directly into the KFC coldly.
Fifty men dressed in black followed closely behind.
The other fifty bodyguards, who remained outside, directly blocked off the KFC's entrance...
Once the middle-aged man entered, he quickly found the place where the commotion was.
Xyla and Daisy's group of bodyguards were standing around in a circle, and the middle-aged man could not see Xyla's face clearly.
"Who's the troublemaker here? Do you want to die?" The middle-aged man asked coldly.
When the blonde woman saw that help had come, she quickly pushed through the crowd and walked up to the man. She pointed at Xyla. "It's this b*tch..." She said. With that, the blonde woman immediately returned to her original condescending mannerism. She lifted her chin slightly and looked coldly at Xyla's face.
She knew that she would soon be able to take her anger out on Xyla!
At the sound of her voice, Xyla lifted her head unhurriedly and looked over.
Xyla recognized the middle-aged man who came into sight.
He was the right-hand man of Country Z's president.
When the middle-aged man looked over at where the lady was pointing, his eyes filled with shock and fear.
The next second, the middle-aged man quickly walked up to Xyla. "Ms. Quest, are you the one she offended?" he asked carefully.
The blonde lady was thoroughly dumbfounded when she saw the change in the middle-aged man's attitude.
As the right-hand man of Country Z's president, why was he behaving so humbly in front of this woman?
Why couldn't she witness the scene that she was hoping for?
According to normal logic, this man should have captured all these people who bullied her and taught them a lesson outside. "Yes," Xyla said.
The middle-aged man instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. After that, he quickly called the former president of Country G on the phone to tell him about what was precisely going on. When the former president heard this, he instantly requested the middle-aged man to hand the phone over to the blonde lady.
The middle-aged man instantly handed the phone over to the blonde lady.
The blonde lady looked confusedly at the screen before bringing the phone close to her ear.
"Apologize properly right now! If she doesn't forgive you, don't come back!" The man spoke in very fluent English.
The blonde lady was thoroughly dumbfounded!
What was happening? Could the person she offended be even more powerful than her?
Chapter 1015
Chapter 1015
At this instant, the blonde lady was completely shocked.
She immediately hung up the phone. She looked at the middle-aged man. "Who is that?" she asked in a whisper.
"The wife of Dragon Group's CEO... Xyla Quest," the middle-aged man said truthfully.
Once the blonde woman heard this, she was completely dumbfounded...
She never would've thought that the person she had offended was actually the adored lady from the Batton family.
The Batton family from Atlantis was so powerful that even the president of Country Z had to treat them courteously. The relationship between them and the president of Country Z was not just good in the ordinary sense.
Offending the Batton family was like offending the president of Country Z.
Although Country G was powerful, they were still a lesser force compared to Country Z.
Although the blonde lady's man had powerful enterprises, it was still nothing compared to Dragon Group.
She couldn't afford to offend Xyla at all!
She felt truly remorseful for her rash behavior earlier...
Recalling the harsh things she had said to Xyla earlier, she felt even more embarrassed at herself.
After taking a deep breath, the blonde lady quickly walked up to Xyla and Daisy and bowed to them repeatedly. "Sorry, I was too ignorant."
Xyla raised her brows and looked at her slowly. There wasn't any emotion in her eyes. "Remember this, don't be too arrogant, and don't be too merciless. There's always someone more powerful than you
are..."
"Yes, yes. I'll remember that. I'll never do this again." The blonde lady nodded and bowed again.
After glancing indifferently at her, Xyla tugged at Daisy's hand. "Let's go, Daisy..."
With that, the two of them held each other's hand and walked out.
Their bodyguards quickly followed them out.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he also followed them. "Her man was the former president of Country G, Anthony," he said as he looked at Xyla.
"Just now, he was having dinner with our president... When our president heard that his woman was being bullied, he has asked me to come and take a look... Had I known it was you, Ms. Quest, I wouldn't have come over. I'm sorry that I brought so many people with me. You must have been terrified, haven't you?" The middle-aged man added.
Xyla smiled gently. "It's okay... It's getting late. You don't have to see us off. Go back and rest."
"Please allow me to send you off..." The middle-aged man said.
He escorted Xyla and Daisy safely into a red Maserati.
***
Xyla first sent Daisy back to the hotel.
After that, she returned to her house under the protection of countless bodyguards.
The house was brightly lit. It seemed almost as bright as day.
At this moment, Stanley Batton was sitting at the sofa, elegantly drinking a glass of milk.
The program playing on the huge television screen before him was paused. It was displaying the finance channel.
Wearing a casual black, silk lounge outfit, he seemed unusually noble and unattainable.
When Stanley saw Xyla walking through the door, he instantly waved at her. "Come here..."
Xyla immediately walked up to him and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm exhausted today."
"Did you shop the entire day?" Stanley asked.
"Yeah..." Xyla said.
"In that case, I'll give you a good, foamy foot massage later," Stanley said.
"Sure," Xyla said.
"Did you get into trouble at KFC today?" Stanley asked.
When Stanley mentioned this, his face instantly turned cold.
"How did you find out? Did the president tell you?" Xyla asked.
"Yeah... He called me earlier... He told me everything..." Stanley added.
Chapter 1016
Chapter 1016
"The president said that her man gave her a few slaps after she went back. He asked her to reflect on her attitude once they returned to Country G." Stanley Batton looked cold and apathetic. "Well, she should."
"Are you going to let her off the hook that easily?"
"Yeah. I just want to teach her a lesson so she won't be so arrogant next time." Xyla Quest shrugged half-heartedly before leaning against Stanley's shoulder and mumbling softly. "Let's not talk about her anymore. I have good news for you."
She had something more important to tell Stanley.
She did not want to waste her energy on that rude blonde woman.
"What is it?"
"Daisy told me about a miracle doctor named Yaksha when we were having lunch today. He has invented a type of medicine to modify human genes." Xyla's eyes were brimming with excitement as she spoke. Stanley's jaw almost hit the floor when he heard that. "What? Are you serious?"
Xyla immediately recounted how Daisy Cox's congenital heart disease was cured to Stanley.
After listening to Daisy's personal experience, Stanley felt a flare of joy and astonishment within him. "Really?"
Stanley had heard about Yaksha from his grandfather before. He was a brilliant doctor indeed.
Stanley's grandfather had been investigating his blood disease ever since he was a kid.
His parents had also consulted famous doctors from all over the world, but to their dismay, nothing could be done to help him.
He had always thought that his blood disease was incurable, that he was destined to live with it.
Surprisingly, god was giving him another chance now.
"Yes. Daisy won't lie to me. I have asked Georgie to do a background check on Daisy after I sent her home. She did undergo a heart transplant years ago." Xyla continued, "Besides, I can't think of a reason why she would lie to me.
"First and foremost, she doesn't know about your blood disease. Secondly, she risked her life to protect me yesterday. I trust her, hubby," Xyla added.
"Well, that's true. I've spent my whole life trying to cure my blood disease but to no avail. I can't believe that there's a solution right in front of me now." Stanley's eyes were full of hope and anticipation. "Sadly, Daisy doesn't know where Yaksha is now. We have to work that out on our own." Xyla sounded disappointed as she mentioned that.
"However, Yaksha once told Daisy that he lives on an island. The island is full of manzanita in late summer and early autumn. The island is so breezy that he doesn't need to turn on the air conditioner in the summer," Xyla recalled.
Then, she pulled out her phone and showed Stanley the drawing of Yaksha. "This is how he looks. I drew this according to Daily's description this afternoon.
"I believe that we'll find him one day. As long as we put in some effort to look into this information, we'll definitely dig him up one day." Xyla was confident.
Stanley pondered for a few seconds before nodding. "Gene modification is pretty risky. I'll be dead if anything goes wrong. Grandpa has been investigating gene modification too. He has done several experiments on mice, but all of them end up dead.
"Nonetheless, I believe that Daisy's case was not a fluke," Stanley added.
"I've thought about this too. After we get the drug from Yaksha, I plan to test it on mice and then carry out some clinical trials first. I'm not going to let you take medicine if it's not hundred percent safe." A solemn expression was etched upon Xyla's face as she spoke.
"Okay. I'll ask Zack to track Yaksha down according to the drawing and the information provided by Daisy," Stanley said without a second thought.
As soon as he finished his sentence, he grabbed his phone and called Zack Cassidy.
His tone was as overbearing as ever when he ordered Zack.
After informing Zack about the drawing and the details of the island, he ended the call.
He was flabbergasted with joy at this moment, his spirit flying high.
He really hoped that he could stop going for all those blood transfusions.
Shoving his phone aside, Stanley hugged Xyla and placed her on his lap dotingly. "Honey, I hope that I can live a normal life one day."
Chapter 1017
Chapter 1017
Xyla Quest threw her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder like a kitten, whispering softly and reassuringly, "You definitely will."
"We must thank Daisy if we manage to find Yaksha to cure your blood disease," Xyla added.
"Yeah."
"By the way, I'm playing for Team QPG tomorrow. Are you going to watch the match?" Xyla asked.
"I'm afraid that I can't. I have something else to do," said Stanley Batton.
"Alright then."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Nah... Daisy and I were going to have dinner together before she went to KFC's washroom. Who would have expected that we would meet that blonde woman and cause such big trouble? Ugh. We lost our appetite, so we just left the mall," Xyla complained.
She could feel her stomach growling at the mention of dinner.
"It's okay. I'll make something for you. What do you want to eat? There's some seafood in the refrigerator. Shall I make you some seafood porridge?" Stanley asked concernedly.
"Sure. It's been a long time since I have your seafood porridge. I miss it."
"Okay then. I'll make some for you now."
Following that statement, Stanley put Xyla back onto the sofa and headed straight to the kitchen.
Warmth spread in Xyla's heart as she stared at Stanley's slender back.
In fact, love was simple. It was hidden in our daily life, in a lover's gaze, or an unintentional turn.
***
The next day.
The first match of LPL Summer between Team QPG and Team IM was held at Team IM's home stadium at seven o'clock in the evening.
Team IM and Team QPG were the two most popular teams in LPL nowadays. The large stadium was thronged with their supporters.
Almost everyone in the stadium was holding a banner of their favorite team and a LED light board.
Colorful lights filled the auditorium, fascinating and captivating.
After the beautiful host gave a long opening speech, the two teams' players went onto the stage and bowed to the audience.
Later, they settled down at their respective tables and started BP.
It seemed like the director could read the audiences' minds. He kept giving stunning close-ups of Xyla and Alex, the two most famous players.
Team QPG's fans would scream frantically every time they were given a close-up.
The same was true for the live stream.
The screen was full of pop-ups every time they appeared.
Very soon, both teams had done selecting their heroes.
Team QPG had Gnar as their Top Lane, Lee Sin the blind monk as their Jungler, Twisted Fate as their Mid Lane, Nautilus as their Support, and Aphelios as their ADC.
On the other hand, Team IM has picked Gangplank as their Top Lane, Olaf as their Jungler, Syndra as their Mid-Lane, Karma as their Support, and Ezreal as their ADC. As soon as the game started, Xyla made a grave mistake.
The opponent ADC killed her at the bottom lane.
What was more, her mistake had directly implicated her Support, causing the both of them to be killed together.
Chapter 1018
Chapter 1018
Immediately afterward, the Mid Lane made another mistake.
Team QPG was in a mess.
No doubt, they lost the first game. Team IM defeated them in less than twenty minutes.
Guilt washed over Xyla Quest as she stared at the huge and unsightly 'DEFEATED' on her computer screen.
Sighing in disappointment, she turned to her teammates and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, guys... I'll work harder in the next game..."
Instead of getting mad over their failure, Alex beamed at Xyla encouragingly. "It's okay, boss. Everyone makes mistakes. We'll do better in the next game. No worries."
The others followed suit and comforted Xyla.
The team's kind understanding and warm encouragement made Xyla blushed in embarrassment.
She vowed to make no mistake in the next game.
Meanwhile, Team QPG's disappointing performance had caused an uproar in the live broadcast:
"Damn, what the hell just happened at the bottom and mid lane? The Jungler is the only one with a brain. Others are sh*t man!"
"Didn't you guys say that Xyla is incredible? What the heck is this? I think everyone is going to boycott Xyla from now on."
"That's it? That's it? That's it? Xyla's mistake is unforgivable, duh.”
"Is Xyla too proud, or her previous performances were just a fluke? I can't accept this. She's a noob."
Likewise, the audience in the stadium had gone haywire. They could not stop whispering among themselves, furiously cursing all the Team QPG's players in the bottom and mid lane.
On top of that, ESPN uploaded a new post right after the game ended: "Is Team QPG going to lose tonight? Everyone except the Jungler is terrible."
"They're going to lose for sure." The netizens responded without hesitation.
In the second game, Team QPG chose to retain their previous lineup.
On the contrary, the opposing team replaced their Mid Lane with Kassadin.
As soon as the second game started, four of the opponents charged at Xyla and her Support at the bottom lane.
Fortunately, Xyla was fast enough to react to their attack. Not only did she manage to survive, but she had also killed the opposing team's Top Lane.
Her graceful and flawless movements had caused a stir in the stadium instantaneously.
The same was true for the live broadcast:
"Damnnnnn! All of you have to apologize to Xyla!"
"Sorry, Xyla! I shouldn't have called you a noob!"
"I'm so sorry. Xyla rocks! You're as good as before!"
The opposing team tried to attack Xyla again after their initial plan failed.
Nonetheless, Xyla was not afraid at all. She skillfully dodged all the attacks and killed the opposing team's ADC right away.
With the opposing team's two consecutive failed attempts, Xyla and her Support successfully conquered the bottom lane.
Unfortunately, their Mid Lane made several grave mistakes around fifteen minutes into the game, wasting all the advantages they had built up earlier. Once again, Team QPG was at a disadvantage.
They were at their most agonizing state about twenty-five minutes into the game.
Team QPG's Mid Lane was hopeless. All of their attacks failed because of him.
Conversely, the opposing team's Mid Lane, Kassadin, sprang up all of a sudden. He had reached level sixteen in a blink of an eye.
This meant that Team QPG couldn't turn the table anymore...
When the two commentators noticed that Kassadin had hit level sixteen, they could not help exclaiming in excitement.
"Wow! Kassadin is level sixteen now! The opposing base is going to explode real soon."
"Look at Kassadin's level and equipment. He's terrifying, isn't he? Everyone he targets is going to die for sure. I'm afraid that Team QPG is going to lose again this time..."
"I guess Team QPG only has about a thirty-percent chance of winning. What do you think?"
"Well, if it isn't for Xyla and Alex, I'd say they only have a twenty-percent chance of winning..."
The two commentators kept on analyzing the situation agitatedly.
Everyone agreed that Team QPG was going to lose again.
Even Team QPG's fans thought so too.
Chapter 1019
Chapter 1019
Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes.
The same was true in the live broadcast. Team QPG's fans were howling in disappointment, whereas the other team's fans were cheering delightedly.
"My dear, why don't you surrender?"
"There's nothing they can do anymore. Sob... my favorite team is going to lose."
"Although Team QPG has Xyla and Alex, there's no way they can fight Kassadin."
"Pity Team QPG... You guys look cool when you lose!"
Xyla Quest and her teammates were completely unaware of those malicious comments. They could not see nor hear anything.
Nevertheless, they could more or less guess the audience's reaction to their disheartening performance. Yet, they did not have time to care about it. They had to focus on the game to win the match. "Their Kassadin is already level sixteen. I understand that they have a high chance of winning, but we're not going to give up that easily, okay? Let's make a miracle happen together," encouraged Xyla while heading to the bottom lane..
As she spoke, she noticed that the opposing team was fighting the most powerful monster, Baron.
"Quick! They're fighting Baron! It'll be harder for us to win the game if they take down Baron. Let's go there to fight Baron too. Listen, guys. We can't bear to make any mistake this time," Xyla immediately ordered.
With that, Xyla led her teammates to the Baron pit.
Noticing that, the two commentators instantly hurled insults at Team QPG.
"There, there. I think Team QPG shouldn't try to challenge Team IM. Kassadin is on fleek, dude! They should try to avoid Team IM and not think of fighting Baron anymore."
"Yes, I agree with you. Team QPG lacks equipment now. Though Xyla and Alex are doing a pretty good job so far, Team QPG is no match for Team IM."
However, just when the commenters finished their sentences, Xyla weaved through the enemies and killed the opposing team's Kassadin at once.
Subsequently, her teammates charged at the rest of the enemies and killed them through perfect cooperation.
The opposing team was wiped out in the Baron's pit in a blink of an eye.
Xyla could barely conceal her delight as she watched the opponents disappear before her. She cheered excitedly, "Nice!!! Let's fight the Baron, guys!!!" Xyla could feel her blood boiling at that instant.
This was the charm of e-sports! The victory is always in your hand!
As long as you did not give up, a miracle is always awaiting you!
Esports was very much like a roller coaster. It was the excitement of uncertainties that made Xyla fall in love with e-sports.
The two commentators were dumbfounded.
"What? Kassadin is dead??? Team QPG has turned the table on Team IM!!!"
"Damn, Xyla Quest!!! This is unbelievable!!!"
"Xyla and Alex rock!!! I take back what I said just now!"
While they were still shrieking over the team battle just now, Xyla and her teammates surrounded the Baron and defeated it in no time.
The two commentators yelled agitatedly, "They kill Baron!!! Team QPG has turned the table!!!"
Team QPG's fans all sprang from their seats excitedly.
All the netizens who were watching the live broadcast were shocked too.
"?????????????? Is Xyla a human??? I'm amazed, guys."
"Hahahahaha! Who said Team QPG is going to lose tonight? Let Xyla teach you how to play!"
"I think I have to take some hypertension pills before watching Team QPG's match next time... I feel like I'm going to faint at any given time..."
After taking down Baron, Team QPG headed straight to the opposing base with the Baron buff.
The team won the game under the crowd's attention, proving those who thought they would lose wrong.
The audience broke into wild applause and cheers.
Motivated by the victory, Team QPG continued to attack agilely and won the third game in less than fifteen minutes.
The crowd cheered at the top of their lungs. Everyone was losing their sanity.
After winning the match, Xyla jumped up from her seat and gave her teammates high fives happily.
After celebrating their victory, they went to shake hands with the opposing team players.
They then returned to the stage and gave the audience a deep bow.
Xyla's gaze inadvertently fell upon the middle seat in the back row as she lifted her head. For a split second, she was paralyzed to the spot...

She saw Stanley Batton.
He was sitting in the last row. He was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of black trousers, looking cool yet elegant.
He was the only one who could catch Xyla Quest's eyes amongst the crowd.
The man met her eyes, his gaze gentle and doting.
She was glowing on the stage, whereas he was admiring her from the auditorium.
Xyla could feel her heart racing frantically at that moment.
Sunshine seemed to flood her soul.
Stanley's appearance took her by surprise.
She clearly remembered their conversation yesterday. Stanley told her that he could not make it to the match because he was busy.
It seemed that he was trying to give her a surprise.
Without a second thought, the quick-witted director focused the camera upon Stanley's face and zoomed in to give his doting expression a nice close-up. The tenderness in the man's eyes was perfectly captured.
When his face popped up on the big screen above the stage, the audience could not help getting carried away by the hysteria.
This was especially true for the girls. Stanley's flawless features and his affectionate eyes upon Xyla had stolen every girl's heart.
After shooting Stanley's face, the director shifted the camera to Xyla.
Likewise, Xyla's gaze was full of fondness for Stanley.
Once again, the crowd screamed at the top of their voices.
"Ahhhhhhh!!! They're so sweet!!! I cannot!!!"
"This ticket is totally worth it. Not only can I watch the exciting match, but I also get to witness the sweet love between this gorgeous couple!"
"Look at the way Stanley stares at Xyla... F*ck... It's gentle, lovely, doting, and enviable... Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so jealous!"
Xyla could clearly hear the crowd's cheers.
However, she was already used to it.
Therefore, she was not affected by the crowd's exaggerated reactions at all.
She remained as calm as ever.
The beautiful host was very excited. She immediately hurried to Xyla and asked, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Team QPG on winning the match today. Miss Quest, do you know that Young Master Batton was going to be here today?"
"I was totally clueless," Xyla answered truthfully.
"I guess Young Master Batton wanted to surprise you. How do you feel after seeing him?"
The beautiful host seemed extraordinarily energetic today due to Xyla's and Stanley's formidable status.
"I'm surprised and happy at the same time." Xyla smiled.
"I notice that Young Master Batton is here to support all of your matches. It seems that Young Master Batton is very supportive of your decision to become a professional gamer. Am I right?" "Yes, it's true. He's always supportive of me no matter what."
"Really? Have you guys ever argued?"
"Nah. He's very nice to me. He respects my opinion even if it's against his."
Xyla's confession made the beautiful host, the players, and the audience cringed.
Everyone was losing their minds.
The netizens could be heard yelling like chickens over the enormous screen filled with countless pop-ups.
"Guys, stop acting lovey-dovey, please! I'm here to watch the game! Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhh... The domineering president is spoiling his wife!"
"Stanley Batton is a cool guy, isn't he? Why is he so humble in front of his wife?" Stanley's gaze was locked upon Xyla, his smile expressing his fondness for her. To him, Xyla was the most dazzling star in the sky.
