Everyone was in a great mood when they saw how adorable Lynette Batton was.Leon Batton glanced affectionately at his sister. “Sit somewhere close by, okay?”She nodded before walking to a nearby chair to sit down.Meanwhile, her brother headed over to his teammates and began to discuss the banning phase selections.Lynette sat quietly nearby, playing with her phone without interrupting nor bothering them as they discussed their strategy.Soon, the competition began, and Leon led his teammates backstage.There were tens of thousands of people in the stadium, with two-thirds holding lit Team XS banners, half of whom were also holding banners with S written on them.His teammates were all stunned to see that, each fighting to hold back their laughter.Only Leon remained indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him.The team was in all black, sporty team uniforms, with light makeup on their faces.At first glance, they looked like handsome idols from the entertainment industr

“I think I feel the same way, haha!" Commentator B said with a laugh. "Let’s wait for the results.”“To be honest, I have more confidence in their opponents’ selections,” Commentator A replied.“Yes, but Team XS will be powerless unless they can hold out until the later stage of the game,” Commentator B said.Meanwhile, the fans in the stadium were all making a lot of noise. None of them were too concerned despite being shocked at the chosen champions. After all, this was Team XS.The reactions were similar in the livestream channel.Soon, the competition began, and Leon Batton immediately took first blood by killing the enemy's Top Solo.The atmosphere in the stadium instantly became energized.The match heated up when three opponents headed to the Top Lane to attack Leon in retaliation.However, he faced them head-on with impressive reaction speed and high skill level, killing all three of them in quick succession.Everyone in the stadium went wild in the wake of S managin

The second match began shortly after.Team XS chose the same champions, and their opponents did the same with theirs, as they were reluctant to admit defeat.History repeated itself, and Leon Batton led his team to victory again.In the third match, both teams chose the same champions yet again.Both commentators were shocked when they confirmed their champion selections—“What’s going on? Why aren’t they banning the heroes Team XS is good at?”“Looks like the opponents are truly upset and probably refusing to admit defeat. That’s why they keep choosing the same champions for the rematch.”“I’d have banned Lucian if I were them.”Meanwhile, on the livestream channel—“Team XS’s opponents are so stubborn.”“What are they waiting for? They should ban Lucian.”“It’s just a disaster waiting to happen. They’re digging their own graves due to stubbornness. Hahaha!”Every player kept calm up on stage before Leon and his teammates began slaughtering their opponents as soon as the m

But now, the opponent's Top Solo believed S was the true genius, while players like them were merely ordinary players compared to him.Leon Batton could sense how disappointed he felt at the loss.“Keep it up,” he encouraged softly while holding his opponent's hand.The guy instantly felt his heart expanding with warmth at his words although he couldn't stop feeling depressed.After both teams shook hands, Leon led his teammates to the center of the stage, and then they bowed to the audience.Right then, the pretty emcee walked onto the stage.“S, please stay. I’d like to interview you today,” she addressed Leon with a smile.The rest of the team exchanged knowing glances and grinned upon hearing that, backing away immediately to leave the stage.Their fans were all screaming excitedly below the stage—“S! You’re amazing!”“S is so handsome. I’m going crazy! I thought his teammates were already pretty good-looking, but I didn’t expect him to be even more so.”“Everyone on Te

“Yes,” Leon Batton answered while looking straight at the camera without further explanations.His seemingly unintentional response instantly elicited a commotion from the audience.Many female fans lost control of their emotions as screams erupted across the stadium—“Oh my god! He has feelings for someone already! I’m truly envious of that girl!”“I wonder who she is. How lucky is she to be liked by someone like him?”“Ahh! I’m so jealous! S, I worship you! How could you like another girl?”Leon knew exactly what his female fans were reacting to, but he could care less.The pretty emcee next to him also seemed noticeably disappointed at his answer despite her unwavering smile. “How old is she? What does she do?”“We’re the same age. I can’t give you any further details,” he said firmly while glancing casually at the camera.He wondered if Hannah Roland was watching and if she was paying attention to him.“Have you confessed your feelings to her?” she asked in curiosity.“
Chapter 2496
Hannah Roland was envious of that girl.She knew nothing could ever happen between her and Leon Batton, and they might not even talk to each other again, but it still felt awful.That girl had what she constantly thought about and wanted.Hannah calmed herself down by taking a deep breath before steeling herself to be strong and gazing at Leon through the screen. “Leon, I wish you nothing but happiness. I hope you can always be with the girl you like,” she murmured and then proceeded to lock her phone.Knock, knock, knock—Three rapid knocks came upon her door a second before her mother stormed in with a stern look on her face.“What’s the matter, Mommy?” Hannah asked, noticing that her mother didn't seem too well. Her mother quickly stepped forward. “Hannah, I’ve been diagnosed with brain cancer. I need surgery.”Her admission stunned Hannah, who felt as if the entire world was collapsing before her.Brain cancer? That was serious.The failure rate of the surgery was high,
Chapter 2497
Hannah Roland’s heart ached upon hearing what her mother said.She felt as if the sky was crashing down on her.Her mother’s illness was much more severe than her father’s. It was very likely she would end up dying if she didn’t get the treatment as soon as possible.She might not survive even if she did receive treatment.To Hannah, her parents were the most important people in the world. She couldn’t watch her mother die without doing something.“Mom, can’t you take the money out in advance for your treatment? Can’t you negotiate with them?” she asked.Her mother shook her head. “I’ve tried, but they won’t allow it. There are rules in the contract we signed back then.”“Let me think of something," she insisted, hastily wiping her tears away. "Leave it to me. I’ll make sure you get treated. You’ll recover. You’ll survive. I won’t let you die.”Her mother shook her head after hearing this. “No, we’ve already spent our savings on your father’s treatment. There is nothing left.”

Some of them wouldn’t even give Hannah Roland an answer before hanging up rudely.She still hadn’t borrowed a single cent after calling all the classmates she was relatively close with.She couldn’t count on any of them, nor did she want to contact her relatives, who had stayed away from her family ever since they went bankrupt. The relatives acted as if being associated with them would result in significant losses.Those same relatives would show up at their house with various gifts to get close to them back when her family business was doing well. They would travel a fair distance to visit even when her house was far away in the suburbs.But now?None of them had shown up ever since her family had gone into financial trouble. None bothered to ask how they were doing.Hannah had seen how realistic this society could be.With her phone in hand, Hannah became lost in thought.Who could she look for now since she couldn’t count on any of her classmates or relatives?Right the
