Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Cordelia’s message pinged through to her adversary, I’m not looking to apologize, just to settle the score.” 

Cordelia was the kind of person who generally couldn’t care less about most things. If Sweetheart had just thrown some shade her way, it would’ve rolled right off her back. But a direct hit? That got under her skin

To the uninitiated, it’s just a game, right? Why not just switch accounts? But to a true gamer, their handle is a badge of honor

Cordelia’s account was a month’s worth of hard graft, rising from a newbie to a toptier player, hoarding skins, gems, runes, and the like. There was emotional investment there

When Sweetheart saw the message, she let out a derisive snort. No apology, how do you propose we resolve this?” 

LearnLover shot back, Let’s settle it in the game oneonone, winner takes all. If I win, you apologize. If you 

win, I’ll ditch the account.” 

Oneonone meant a duel, player versus player

A smile flickered across Sweetheart’s face. Which hero will you use? I’m not allpowerful, you know. If you use your best hero and beat me, that’s no true victory. I won’t stoop to that.” 

LearnLover replied simply, You choose.” 

Sweetheart read the message aloud, and the chat went wild with mockery

Haha, does she not know Sweetheart is dubbed the Midlane Monarch?” 

“I’ve seen people seek their doom, but never quite like this!” 

Is she rushing to her own funeral? I checked her account; she’s only been playing a month, mostly duo with Jungler, coasting on support wins!” 

Sweetheart’s support might not be as good, but in a duel? Sit back and watch her crush the newbie!” 

Sweetheart chuckled, “Well, you said it. Alright then, let’s take it to midlane.” 

She named her midlane character of choice. But Cordelia’s response was unexpected, Give me two minutes to familiarize myself with this hero’s abilities.” 

Sweetheart broadcast the chat to her live stream, and the viewers erupted in laughter

I dunno why, but I kinda think she’s cool!” 

Wake up, mate! She’ll be crying in a minute!” 

Certified student, but probably elementary level!!” 

I just took a peek, she’s never played that hero before, this is hilarious.” 

Merry could see the chat and was fuming, Sweetheart’s stream is a dumpster fire. Doesn’t the platform care? My stream got shut down after one report. They definitely play favorites!” 

Cordelia ignored her, scrutinizing her chosen hero’s skills and stats

She hadn’t played this one before, but she was a fast learner. One glance and she had the gist of how to handle it

Two minutes later, Sweetheartpopped up in Cordelia’s game invites. Accepting, she was ushered into the

Chapter 186 

duel arena 

Sweetheartwas a streaming sensation, revered for both looks and skillfemale pros were rare, and her midiane prowess had won over many a male gamer 

Confidence oozed from Sweetheart. The truth was, she wasn’t the one playing

Backed by a streaming platform, they were hyping her as the eSports belle of the ball, Chosen for her sweet voice and flirty demeanor, her popularity was skyhighthough her gaming? Outsourced

Every session, she’d bow over her phone, but it was all for show. A pro gamer from the club handled the actual gameplay. So how could she lose

On stream, Sweetheart’s dulcet tones filled the air. Nothing thrills me more than handing down justice. Today, I’ll have her begging for mercy, questioning her whole life!” 

With a coy smile, she continued, That’s just how I rollstraighttalking, vengeful. Tempt my man, use him to climb the ranks? Today, she’ll learn that actions have consequences!” 

Showtime!she declared, and onscreen, Sweetheart’s hero lunged forward, a flurry of abilities dropping Cordelia’s health to near zero

The game announced Sweetheart has slain Learner

Sweetheart laughed, “Oh dear, she didn’t even try to dodge. Must’ve been stunned by my combo.” 

The chat erupted with lol

In this tower defense game, death was but an obstacleas long as the towers stood, the game was on. But in a duel, it was another story

Seven minutes without a tower down meant the duel was decided by kills

One kill up. Sweetheart had a clear advantage

Seconds after respawning, Cordelia stepped out only to be met with another assault from 

Sweetheartanother quick kill

Sweetheart has slain Learner, again

Sweetheart sighed theatrically, I’m starting to think she’s actually an elementary schooler. Doesn’t even know how to dodge?” 

Now two minutes and two deaths in, Sweetheart had all but won

Feeling cocky, she teased, Time for a victory dance.” 

As Cordelia’s hero lay defeated, Sweetheart positioned her character over the fallen body and taunted with a flowerscattering effecta deeply humiliating gesture ingame.. 

The chat was in stitches, egging her on

Do it again!” 

-Isn’t that a bit much?” 

-Learner crossed Sweetheart first, fooling Jungler into duoing. This is justified payback!” 

The stage was set for a showdown, but in this virtual arena, it was more than just a gameit was a battle for pride

Sweetheart saw the comments and blurted out, I’m just so darn mad, sorry about that.” 

Though she was apologizing, her actions didn’t pause for a second

Chapter 186 

Merry had been glued to the livestream, and at this point, she was fuming. Damn! That’s way out of line! It’s just a game, for crying out loud. There’s no need to humiliate someone like that!” 

She turned to Cordelia, worry etched on her face, Lia, maybe you should just bail out. Say your internet was lagging or something.” 

No need.Cordelia stared at her phone’s darkened screen for a moment, and once her character respawned, the corners of her lips curled up ever so slightly, I’ve got it now.” 

Every hero has their own set of skills and combos, and if you haven’t played them, you’re sure to be out of your depth

Cordelia had been taken down twice, but each time she was just sizing up her opponent, watching how LearnLover wielded that hero. Now, she had graduated

In the chat of the livestream, Sweetheart chuckled, This is getting boring. Let’s wrap this up.” 

She shot a knowing glance to the pro gamer beside her, and he nodded in acknowledgment

Just as Cordelia charged out from the tower again, the pro unleashed another flurry of combos

Sweetheart chimed in with a smirk, Watch how I take you down for a triple kill!” 

But the moment the action unfolded on screen, she froze in disbelief

Reading History

No history.
