Callum snarled coldly, “Don’t touch me.”
Once he liberated his hand from Callum’s grip, the man flicked his wrists and gritted his teeth in pain. “Miss, your friend has such a strange personality. Who would want to be his friend? That would require great patience. Forget about finding a girlfriend! He has such good looks, but his personality is terrible. Those who love him probably have masochistic tendencies!”
Callum turned to look at Elspeth and angrily demanded, “Why don’t you just tell them that I’m your boyfriend?”
Elspeth looked at the injuries covering his handsome face and the crystal-clear teardrops that seemed to hang from the eyelashes beneath his large European-style double eyelids… She couldn’t help feeling slightly distressed at the sight.
Handsome men sure are good at manipulating your emotions.
She cleared her throat. “This is my boyfriend. I am that person who has masochistic tendencies.”
While he wasn’t abusive, whenever he acted like a boyfriend who was easily wronged, it definitely made her seem like a terrible girlfriend.
The three men loitering around were so shocked that their jaws practically fell to the floor. Afterward, they did not dare to tease her again. If they continued to tease her, their hands would probably be broken by Callum. Their hands were the most essential tools of their livelihood, after all.
Kenneth was clearly not on the same wavelength as the others. So, when he saw that they were almost done talking, he quickly said, “Let’s head to the training room.”
Then, he saw the three men beside him shooting desperate looks at him. He couldn’t help feeling confused. “What’s wrong? Do you have a cramp in your eyes?”
The three felt themselves screaming inwardly as they collectively groaned at him being a dumb*ss.
“Ken, isn’t the training room off-limits to people who are not part of the club? So, why did you bring your sister there?”
Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to introduce them to Elspeth. He smiled apologetically. “This is Birdy, Susy, and Carrot of the FX Club.”
After that, he turned to the other three. “This is my younger sister. She will be replacing Wolf in the team competition.”
“Her?”
Birdy could hardly control the corners of his mouth from twitching. “Ken, are you joking? Wolf plays the role of the shooter. How can you give such an important central position to any random person?”
Even Susy was astonished. “Ken, we’re going up against the AD Club, the newly-debuted dark horse! If we lose to them, we will never be able to hold our heads high in the esports industry again!”
Carrot did not seem to mind. “Miss is so pretty. When the time comes, we won’t even need to play seriously. If she smiles at the opposing party, all the men on the opposing team will definitely become distracted and flustered. We will definitely win!”
Elspeth thought to herself, Has the competition bracket been drawn?
Kenneth glanced at them coolly. “I played against her in a one-on-one two days ago, and I lost.”
Birdy frowned. “Winning or losing one game is nothing. Who can guarantee that they won’t lose…”
“It was two games.”
“You’re amazing, Miss.”
Aside from Kenneth at his peak condition, there was nobody else who could win two consecutive games against Kenneth.
Elspeth was clearly outstanding if she had succeeded in beating him twice in a row.
“But I still want to see Elspeth’s true strength for myself.”
Birdy was a serious person when he was not fooling around. At the moment, he was studying Elspeth with a critical expression on his face. “Can I play against you in a one-on-one battle? I’m considered the second-best player in the club. I will recognize your skills as long as you win against me.”
Elspeth did not seem to mind and nodded in agreement. “Sure. Where shall we compete?”
He pointed with his right hand. “Right here.”
They took out their phones and entered the one-against-one mode.
