Elspeth didn’t think that Jethro would be as good as she was.
His game sense and mechanical skills were both top-notch in the world of gaming.
She began seeing him in a different light.
Nevertheless, she was someone who topped the rankings too, so she easily got the first kill.
Elspeth cocked her eyebrow and smirked at him.
“How about it? You can admit defeat now if you like.”
“Admit defeat? Never.”
During the second clash, Elspeth underestimated her opponent and he managed to kill her.
“See, Elsie? You’re not invincible.”
Jethro was grinning widely after getting the kill.
“I went easy on you. Let’s continue.”
This time, she no longer let her guard down.
With a sudden burst of attacks, she managed to kill Jethro a second time.
“Only the last kill remaining.”
Elspeth glanced at him with a confident smirk.
Jethro was expressionless. It was as if he wasn’t worried at all.
“The outcome hasn’t been decided yet.”
“Uh huh,”
Elspeth hummed without being too concerned about his comment.
Once he revived, she waited for him in the bush beside his tower.
However, Jethro seemed to realize what was happening as he stayed in his tower and didn’t move at all. It was as if he had disconnected from the game.
Elspeth had no choice but to hide in the bush and wait.
After a while, Elspeth figured out that he was doing it on purpose, so she prepared to go into the tower and kill him.
A split second before she landed her ultimate skill, everything came to a standstill, and the screen panned to her base… which exploded!
Alas, Elspeth lost the game with the kill score being 2 to 1.
She was furious.
“You tricked me! You secretly cleared my minions and got your minions to attack my base!”
Jethro knew he wasn’t going to win this matchup.
Initially, he held out hope that he could defeat her.
However, when the match was nearing the end, he realized just how terrifyingly good she was. There was a reason why she topped the rankings.
In that case, he decided to play a trick on her and destroy her base instead. That way, regardless of the outcome of the match, he wouldn’t have to fulfill the bet he made.
“As they say, all’s fair in love and war.”
Jethro put on a pitiful act.
“If I lost, I wouldn’t be able to hang out with you for a month. That’s torture!”
What was the point of coming to the office if he couldn’t look for her?
The moment the viewers heard what he said, they gleefully reveled in the lovey-dovey atmosphere.
‘I never knew MyLord was such a romantic guy.’
‘He’s a guy, after all. There’s no harm in a bit of trickery. I think it’s sweet.”
‘I’m in tears. MyLord likes someone! It’s his boss, and she’s such an incredible woman too! There’s no hope for MyLord and me anymore…’
‘Stop crying already. Even if Elspeth wasn’t around, he still wouldn’t be interested in you.’
‘…’
Elspeth had turned off the live stream, so she had no idea what was happening in the comments section.
“That’s enough. You’re still streaming right now. Don’t say such nonsensical things.”
Elspeth was worried about Jethro’s popularity.
If he announced that he had someone he liked, he would probably lose a lot of his female fans.
It wouldn’t be good for his career.
“So what? Isn’t it normal for me to have someone I like? Humans are born with emotions. Why can’t I be honest about my feelings for someone?”
Elspeth glared at him.
“You’re a streamer.”
“So what if I am a streamer? I want my fans to like me for my talents. I don’t feel the need to please fans who are only after my looks. They’re not worth keeping.”
Well, Elspeth couldn’t refute that.
She pinched the area between her brows with a sense of helplessness.
I’m even more worried about the comments that’ll be coming my way, okay?
What if some of the more fanatical fans start sending me nasty comments?
However, Jethro wasn’t bothered.
He raised his phone and directed the camera at his face. Elspeth was standing in the background.
“Hi, everyone. Since you heard everything, I’ll come out and say it. Actually, I have feelings for-“
Jethro’s face vanished from the screen before he could finish his sentence.
A line of words popped up.
‘Your account has been suspended due to sensitive content.’
Jethro’s expression hardened at once.
“Who suspended my account?”
Getting banned was not a trivial matter. Elspeth brushed his annoyance aside and looked at his channel. “Did you say anything sensitive?”
Jethro thought it was weird. “No. I was just confessing to you, and then my channel got banned before I could finish.”
He got banned over a simple confession? Elspeth had no idea what was going on. She called customer service, and they explained it to her. However, they did sound nervous when they spoke, since the staff had no idea what happened either.
“So, it’s probably a mistake?”
