Chapter 264
Everyone looked
A man strode Over dressed casually and strikingly handsome, with his hair dyed white. It was none other than Charley. “Selina, I didn’t expect to see you here. What a coincidence”
“It’s been a while, Charley. Our last match was thrilling. I never imagined someone like you would be invited here, Simeon remarked.
I’m not particularly interested in the reward, but when I heard about this super strong player in a fighting game. I got curious. I’m a huge gamer and even started my own e–sports team excelling in various gaming arenas. So, facing off against a tough opponent sounded exciting, Charley said
–
“But I didn’t expect it to be you, Selina. I saw you crush both the runner–up and third–place winner of The King of Fighters in Clusia. That was impressive. I had no idea you were such a master at using alternate accounts.” As Charley spoke, he eagerly rubbed his hands together and positioned himself in front of the arcade machine. “I wonder if I can gain any edge against your skill, Selina. Just so you know, even though you’re my sister–in–law. I’m completely honest about winning and loving, so I won’t hold back!”
“Charley, I’ll make you regret it if you dare hold back. Let’s fight Selina retorted.
“That’s the spirit. Selina.” After inserting the coin, they plunged into an intense battle.
The spectators were electrified, eagerly watching every move. Each punch and kick was a crucial test – one slip could spell the end for a character.
Charley’s first character eventually fell, but he quickly turned the tables, taking down Selina’s first character in response.
The crowd erupted with excitement. “Finally, someone managed to defeat her first character, one spectator remarked.
“As expected from the fighting champion of Chusia, holding his own against soch a formidable opponent. Go! Show her what you’ve gotl‘ another spectator cheered.
Charley raised an eyebrow with a look that demanded recognition. “Selina, what do you think? Am I strong or what?”
“Not bad. But getting so cocky so soon might hurt you in the next rounds, Selina replied.
“Hehe, Selina. I’m not trying to brag, but I do know this game pretty well. After all, I didn’t win this championship title by chance. Ahh! Selina, that’s unfair. How can you sneak attack while I’m still talking? Charley was still talking and not fully focused. As the game resumed, he was immediately caught off guard by Selina’s combo and knocked out in one swift move. He was completely stunned. That doesn’t count. Selina! I wasn’t ready just
now!”
“Don’t you still have one last character? Let’s see if this national champion title of yours is worth anything.” Selina taunted.
“Argh! Selina, now you’ve really made me angry. You’re going down!” Charley put aside his playful attitude, realizing he was down to his last character, while Selina still had two fully–powered characters. If he didn’t bring out his true skills, he would lose the battle
Despite his full concentration. Charley ultimately lost to Selina. It wasn’t just a matter of one character difference, it was clear that Selina hadn’t been using her true strength earlier. She defeated the national runner–up and third–place winner with such ease that it seemed almost effortless.
“Selina, your gaming skills are incredible. Do you play MOBA or other competitive games as well!” Charley asked.
“Not much, but it’s more than enough to bear you,” Selina replied.
“Selina, you’re so awesome!” Charley’s eyes practically sparkled with admiration. He thought. How on earth is there so
someone as insanely awesome as Selina? She has countless alternate accounts, and she even managed to beat me, a national champion, at gaming!!
Charley wasn’t exactly a pushover either. He had truly earned his national fighting game championship title and bad also achieved notable success in other game genres. But to lose so decisively to Selina in a fighting game? He found it hard to believe that Selina wouldn’t be just as skilled in other types of games.
Trevon, oh Trevon, where the hell did you find such an extraordinary woman? Could it really have been on a dating app?‘ Charley mused, increasingly suspicious that Trevon had intentionally brought Selina into his life. The story of Trevon using a dating app for a marriage of convenience seemed more and more implauble
Selina stood up. “So, now that I’ve defeated you, the national champion, where’s the person who sent you to deal with me!
“Well, that person instructed me in give you this letter once you’d beaten me” Charley said, handing her an envelope.
“We have one too Jaxton, Smcon, and Charley reach handed their envelopes to Selima:
In front of everyone, Selina opened the envelopes to find a collection of puzzle pieces.
Charley wiped the sweat from his brow and said. “What the heck, so many puzzle pieces. How long is it going to take to put this together!
“Indeed, Selina replied, shaking her head resignation. She tossed the pieces onto the table and began to put them togel As she wankend, stir

asked, “What did he offer you guys to come after me?”
“Umm…” Simeon and Jaxton exchanged glances. Even though the other party didn’t reveal their identity and paid the deposit without a formal contract, the deal was too tempting to ignore. Sharing too much too soon could jeopardize the remaining payment.
*300 thousand dollars if we beat you, 60 thousand dollars if we lose. No matter the outcome, we come out ahead. The 30 thousand dollar deposit for just a day’s work is more than worth Charley rested his chin on his hand, watching Selina with curiosity. “Selina, I don’t think he means you any harm. So, how did you get yourself tangled up in this situation! Does Trevon know about this??
Charley was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, relishing the drama. He secretly wished for a classic love triangle, where two men vied for the same woman – that would be exhilarating,
the prepared to be beaten. It would be a shame to see this handsome face of yours smashed into pieces,
“He doesn’t know. You can tell him that, but b but I won’t hold back, Selina said.
