Sophia’s face flushed red and her heart was thumping fast.
Sitting next to her, Scary Phoenix was logging into his account.
Sophia glanced at him surreptitiously as he deftly entered his user ID and password, looking like the real deal.
No way! She must be having a dream!
Was there anything in the world he couldn’t do?
Sophia kept her eyes glued to him as though she was trying to see through his body and reach his soul.
Michael, who seemed to be able to sense her gaze, cast a glance in her direction.
She immediately averted her gaze back to the screen of her computer.
When Michael stopped looking at her, she continued peeking at him immediately.
Suddenly, she noticed that she received a private message from Scary Phoenix.
Scary Phoenix: ‘Be at your best in the game later. If you can defeat the blue team, I’ll reward you with costumes in bed tonight.’
Sophia’s face turned crimson in an instant when she saw the blatantly dirty message. Out of instinct, she gave a scan to her surroundings and typed furiously: ‘Delete the message right now or it will be spotted by the audience later!’
Scary Phoenix replied: ‘Don’t worry, they won’t be able to read the message.’
Sirius233: ‘You shouldn’t be sending inappropriate things now even though they won’t be able to read it!’
They were participating in a top-notch global championship held at Bayside National Stadium which was broadcasted live all over the world; she couldn’t believe he was still in the mood to flirt with her at this hour!
Lord, could you take this more seriously?!
Michael finally stopped flirting with her and adopted his combat status when the game started. As for Sophia, she first took a deep breath before she was ready to start the group battle.
Several seconds before the game started, she sneaked a look at Michael again.
From her angle, all she could see was his side-profile that looked stern and serious. Exuding a totally different aura now, it seemed like he had transformed from a hopeless flirt into a prolific swordsman just like his character in the game
Before the game began, Sophia was still feeling somewhat jittery but now, she suddenly had a feeling that they would be able to defeat anyone as long as Michael was around.
The game officially started.
The battle started off intensely as all the players first went around to look for their opponents according to their strategy. As Sophia’s character was relatively weaker in the team, her opponent was also the weaker player in the opposing team.
Joint attacks was the main strategy of the opposing team as Scary Phoenix was besieged by three players at one time as soon as the game started. Meanwhile, the remaining five players of the team were tasked with stopping the players of the red team from going to Scary Phoenix’s rescue.
The blue team believed that once they managed to kill Scary Phoenix, his death would be a fatal blow to the red team!
Players of the red team immediately tried to break their defence to help Scary Phoenix. The audiences, some wearing red and some wearing blue, were cheering and clapping ecstatically because the game had started off in a very exciting manner.
Harry and Daniel were watching the game that was projected on the big screen on the VIP platform.
Harry sounded anxiety-ridden as he rambled on, “Daddy, hang in there! Gosh, Sirius is about to be finished off by the blue team too! Stanley, you stupid dog! Why don’t you go and help them out now?!”
Contrary to Harry, Daniel appeared much more collected because he wasn’t a gamer and he had no idea what he was talking about. He was of the opinion that Michael and Harry had been rude by leaving Natasha’s piano concert to be here.
“How will Natasha feel when she realizes you guys left her piano concert halfway?”
Harry and Michael, who had both received invitations from Natasha, were watching the piano concert at the concert hall opposite the stadium just now. However, they realized that Michael, who was the special guest of the concert, had actually left halfway through to play in the tournament at the stadium.
No one knew what sort of a scene Natasha would make if she found out about his departure.
Harry couldn’t be bothered about Natasha’s reaction because what concerned him the most at the moment was the fact that both his Daddies were struggling to fend off their opponents.
Nathan was also watching the big screen nervously at his two Daddies who looked invincible and powerful in the game.
In the meantime, the piano concert came to a perfect ending and Natasha received a standing ovation with numerous bouquets of flowers from the audience. Looking just like a princess who had all eyes on her, she held the flowers in one hand and the microphone in the other as she gave a sincere speech, “Holding a piano concert like this has always been my dream and it finally came true today. Firstly, I’d like to express my gratitude…”
