Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 620

The final game was an intense forty-minute duel. Both teams had moments where victory seemed within their grasp, only to be swiftly countered.

“Ahhh!” Hattie clutched her head, feeling like her heart was about to leap out of her throat. “This is too intense! I can’t watch!”

The teams were in a deadlock, both sides convinced they were on the verge of winning.

“Neverfall Navigators still has it,” one of the male students commented. “Especially in this last game. They’re playing at the same level they did when Demon was here.”

“They adjusted their rhythm and strategy so quickly after the second game,” another student added. “If I hadn't known better, I’d suspect Demon himself showed up and coached them.”

Their performance now was a world away from how they’d started.

Sitting beside them, Juniper simply took a calm sip of her lemonade.

“Here it comes!” a fan nearby shouted excitedly. “It's the deciding moment! Neverfall Navigators is really heating up.”

Juniper put down her cup and looked up at the big screen. All five members of Neverfall Navigators were clustered together, locked in a chaotic brawl with the enemy team. Skills and items flashed across the screen—a blinding display of effects that made it almost impossible to tell who was who in the ten-player pile-up. All you could see were health bars rapidly depleting and replenishing. Everything hinged on this single fight.

A few seconds later, a member of Shadow Titans was the first to fall. Neverfall Navigators' Player Three also ran out of health. The rest continued the brutal team fight.

Every nerve in the arena was stretched taut as all eyes remained glued to the screen. They couldn't lose. Neverfall Navigators could not lose!

Finally, as if answering the collective prayer of the entire arena, the members of Shadow Titans fell one by one. Victorious, Neverfall Navigators swaggered into the enemy base and effortlessly demolished their Nexus.

The game was over. With a final score of 3-2, Neverfall Navigators had defeated Shadow Titans, securing their ticket to the finals.

And what belonged to her boyfriend, belonged to her. So, by extension… yes. She was the owner of this WKL eSports event.

“Everyone, be safe on your way out,” she said with a brief word of caution before leaving her seat.

Just then, MystiCat had finished his post-game interview with the host and instinctively glanced towards the VIP section. He frowned when he didn't see the young girl. Where did she go?

...

After the event, the members of Neverfall Navigators immediately found a staff member to ask about Juniper’s identity. Anyone sitting in the front-row VIP seats had to be someone important.

“Oh, her?” The staff member had just seen the little VIP off and had collapsed into a chair, wiping sweat from his forehead as if he’d just survived a catastrophe. He answered wearily, “She’s this year’s top-ranked freshman at Eclara University.”
