Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 240

The enemy team, all five of them, had stormed the base with a wave of minions, ignoring Waller completely. If they kept pushing without distraction, the game was as good as lost.

Karl slumped in his chair, eyes red with frustration.

Waller, in that moment of realization, thought resignedly, "So be it. If the kid wants to experience the thrill of the match, let her have it."

Silence hung over the EW Club's gaming room. Fingers had lifted off mice and keyboards as they awaited the inevitable defeat.

Only Floyd's eyes sparkled suddenly, his gaze shifting to Cordelia.

Standing teammates, Everard and Yates, moved to stand behind Cordelia, offering their silent support.

Inside CM Club's gaming room.

Their support player kept an eye on Waller's movements. Noticing Waller charging at them, he shouted, "Waller's on the move!"

Wade glanced over, seeing Waller stumbling towards them, having been trying hard to just stand his ground moments before. "Ignore him. Desperate last stand, isn't it? Just push to win," he said dismissively.

"Got it."

As Wade and his team advanced toward the base's core, he boasted, "This scrimmage has been worth it. We've got Waller rattled, and with his hand, I heard from the hospital he's limited to two hours of gaming a day, can't handle intense play. We've basically ruined him today with our constant mid-lane assaults. And EW Club? Just recruited a girl for their marksman and now Waller's practically disabled. They'll have to scout for newbies again, hah! Their top laner's no good either..."

As he rambled, Waller's character charged behind them.

Wade stopped, typing out a taunt: "Come to watch us take down your base, Waller? Enjoy the show!"

No sooner had he sent the message than Waller's mage character suddenly turned graceful, darting towards them!

"The heck, is Waller trying to combo us?!" the support player exclaimed.

Wade frowned, "Don't panic. With Waller's peak reflexes, he could only pull off three combos max. We might lose three but not the match. Stop the push, take him down first!"

"Alright!"

But as they turned, Waller unleashed his ultimate, transforming into a majestic butterfly, dusting them with lethal powder. Their health points visibly drained.

Back in EW Club's gaming room.

"Are you insane? Charging in like that? Why not flank?" Karl screamed, bewildered by the reckless move.

But as he ranted, Waller, trembling, couldn't believe his own eyes, "You're going for a combo?"

Cordelia, focused on her game, replied calmly, "Yeah."

Karl scoffed, "You think you're Waller? Even at his best, he could only manage four combos. You'd need to pull off five to win this."

Cordelia ignored him.

Waller, curious, asked, "How many have you done?"

Cordelia, her fingers a blur on the keyboard, spoke leisurely, "With this character, I've managed three on mobile. On a PC, I believe I can do more..."

Combos depended entirely on skill.
