“These two teams are old rivals,” the caster said, “They just faced off in the Autumn Split finals for the championship trophy. Tonight, will it be Apex Squad’s revenge or God’s Fury successfully defending their title?
“God’s Fury is a young squad, but they’ve already shown incredible potential. Let the match begin!”
With Aubree in the lineup during the Autumn Finals, God’s Fury looked unstoppable, dominating Apex Squad completely. However, with a new midsolo, they had lost that overwhelming edge in the match.
The back-and-forth continued, and God’s Fury was slowly losing ground in the exchanges.
Aubree sat in the audience, her fingers tightly interlaced, anxiety etched across her face. If God’s Fury lost this match, it would be quite a blow to both the players’ morale and the fans’ spirits.
“The match remains neck and neck as we approach the crucial 10-minute dragon fight. This classic teamfight moment could swing momentum either way.”
“Apex Squad makes the first move! Their support secures vision and spots the enemy. Wait, hold on! Was that a misplay?”
Kill notifications for Apex Squad kept flashing across the screen in rapid succession.
But as the caster just pointed out, Apex Squad had the advantage in that situation. How could a veteran team possibly throw away such a golden opportunity?
Missing the opportunity was bad enough, but then they seemed to have completely lost their minds, feeding one after another like brainless lemmings off a cliff.
God’s Fury capitalized on this dragon fight, wiped out the enemy team, and snowballed into taking the Nexus in the first match.
Even with the win, Aubree’s brows furrowed even tighter. ‘Was I just imagining things?’ she wondered.
Bowen didn’t understand the game, but he could tell something was off with Aubree. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you guys win?” he asked.
“But that misplay… It shouldn’t have happened,” Aubree said, shaking her head.
‘No way. Emery is also a pro gamer. How could he do something like this? But what Emery said before the match… Aubree thought, suspicion gnawing at her.
Bowen nodded with partial understanding, his gaze drifting toward Emery’s seat.
The second match started soon after, and God’s Fury got the win.
God’s Fury took game three as well.
God’s Fury swept the series 4-0 in the BO5 match point game.
Aubree, however, couldn’t muster even the slightest bit of joy. Even if God’s Fury had lost fair and square, she would have felt regret and disappointment. But this kind of victory? It only made her furious.
“Emery wasn’t just insulting me,’ she thought. ‘He was insulting every single member of God’s Fury who had fought so hard
for this!
‘God’s Fury doesn’t need his charity to win the championship! Throwing the game this blatantly in a championship match?

Does Emery take everyone for a fool?
Aubree abruptly stood up from her seat. “Uncle Bowen, go congratulate the team for me first, take them out to celebrate, and send me the address. I have something to handle and I’ll catch up with you later.”
Bowen had some inkling of what was going on. He glanced at the team members on stage, who were thanking the audience, and, without pressing for details, readily agreed, “Alright.”
Aubree was wearing her school uniform, which made her stand out when she got up and moved around.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, a stylishly dressed man in his early twenties stood at the front, surrounded by members of a team that had competed the day before, all still in their team uniforms.
Jacob, you keep staring at that girl in the school uniform. What, do you have a crush on her?” someone asked.
Jacob Timberlake was the team’s investor, the kind of rich kid who casually funded things, just for fun.
Jacob didn’t even notice who was sitting beside Aubree. His attention was all on her. “Such a young woman sitting in that position… Is she someone’s girlfriend?” he asked.
“Actually, no. That woman looks familiar. Isn’t she Phoenix, the player who crushed Apex Squad at the Autumn Finals? Later, she used the prize money to get Alvin to invest and started the team,” one of them replied.
“Yeah,” another person cut in. “That’s her. She’s the owner of God’s Fury now, supposedly with no family.”
Jacob smirked with a wicked glint in his eyes. “An orphan, huh? So into gaming? Well, I guess I have to go introduce myself.”
The people around Jacob exchanged knowing glances. It was clear to everyone that he had taken a fancy to Aubree.
But no one dared to judge him.
It wasn’t just because Jacob was their investor, but even people with connections couldn’t stop someone like Jacob.
