From Sidekick to Bigshot

Jian Yujie hurriedly pulled Yu Xi back: “Don’t be impulsive. If you impulsively hit someone, we will be disqualified from the tournament.”

If Yu Xi decided to hit someone, that would disqualify them from the competition. The gains did not make up for the losses in such a situation.

However, Yu Xi was furious. He did not listen to Jian Yujie’s words. He still had the look on his face that he wanted to hit someone.

Jian Yiling stepped forward and stopped Yu Xi. She stopped him from advancing any further.

At the same time, her voice was calm and stern as she said to the team members of [Rely on Others]:

“Let’s see who is right when we compete against each other. The loser has to apologize in public and admit their mistake.”

There was nothing wrong with what Jian Yiling had said. However, the person who said that…

She did not look imposing at all!

Her voice was soft and childish! Was she really here to scare someone?

Upon hearing this, someone in the crowd even laughed.

Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes for a moment. Then, he walked forward and stood beside Jian Yiling. His gaze was filled with contempt.

“Does anyone have a problem with what was said?” Zhai Yunsheng growled. His gaze swept over the crowd of people who had smiles on their faces.

Zhai Yunsheng’s bodyguards also stepped forward from where they were originally standing.

The young girl’s words had sounded like a joke. However, this man’s words were no joke.

His eyes were cold and arrogant. There was a frightening chill in them as well.

The look on the faces of the people changed immediately. No one answered Zhai Yunsheng’s question.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned his head and said to Jian Yiling who was beside him: “They all agreed. We will settle the score with them after the match.”

Although those people had not yet answered, Zhai Yunsheng had already answered for them.

“Mhmm.”

Then, Jian Yiling called out to Yu Xi who was standing behind her: “Let’s not argue with them. It’s not worth it. Let’s go back.”

The tone in her voice sounded a bit like an order.

Yu Xi felt the boldness and resolution in her voice.

After this, Yu Xi had finally calmed down. He realized that it was indeed not worth it.

And thus, the four of them left the venue. They paid no attention to the people around them.

Very soon, Jian Yiling and the others were gone.

The man who had just been shocked by Zhai Yunsheng cursed out: “Damn! Wow, it’s such a big deal to have money! He even hired bodyguards! How amazing!”

His teammates tried to calm him down: “Forget it. Don’t lower yourself to their level. Let’s see how good they are when they play. When we verse their team, let’s bully them around. We will get our revenge at that time.”

The first day of the offline tournament featured a match between [Domination] and a foreign team.

When the foreign team had played in the online tournament, one of their players had been streaming. And thus, many of the netizens had already seen the strength of the foreign team ahead of time.

Furthermore, there were quite a few people who believed in the foreign team. Those people felt that the foreign team had the potential to win the entire tournament.

Their match with a team who paid money for a spot wasn’t necessarily going to be a good match to watch. However, it’d definitely be a fun match to watch.

The odds on the streaming platform were already at 10 to 1.

Before the teams even came out, the live stream was already filled with comments.

[Wow, they’re playing a strong team on their first day! This will be entertaining!]

[I’m looking forward to the complete slaughter.]

[Keep dissing them. The more you diss them, the more popular they will get. They’re going to be pleased with themselves.]

[Those people are so shameless. They’re not afraid of being called out or cursed at. They just want to be known by everyone.]

[I have to curse at them! I spent a month fighting for a spot in this tournament! Why would I not curse those players? They don’t have any skills whatsoever. And now, they’re competing against foreign teams. Are they trying to embarrass our country?!]
