Chapter 28 Alices attack was devastating , she took down two opponents directly , leaving one severely injured . After landing , she glanced at the bloodied Luke on the ground . Luke was fixated on the game screen , shock and disbelief washing over him in waves ! He knew Alice was talented , but he never expected her to be this strong ! Wait a minute , she wasnt this good before when did she level up ? The moment he got caught , he realized they were going to lose this match . But then Alice showed up , using her agile movements and sharp instincts to stabilize the situation . She even turned the tide , pulling pulling off the legendary Kings ultimate move twelve consecutive strikes ! Luke felt like hed never really known his sister . Shed become a stranger . Suddenly , he felt a pang of anxiety , an irrational fear of losing Alice . Luke hesitated , then spoke , You … But Alice brushed past him , speaking into her headset , Report your positions . Ill be there soon . Luke was left standing there , watching her confident gaming silhouette . He couldnt help but turn his head to sneak a glance at Alice , but she was completely focused on the screen , her concentration captivating . Noah chimed in , Luke , what are you zoning out for ? Luke snapped back to reality , rushing to catch up . He saw Alice leading the team , her movements smooth and precise . This was the artillery player hed always wanted ! In the end , it was Alice who did it . Lukes feelings were a jumbled mess . The competition he valued most was won because of Alice , the sister hed always underestimated ! He had never felt such a stark contrast before . The match wrapped up quickly . Alice , as the artillery player , stood triumphantly in the ruins , bathed in the setting sun , basking in victory ! The host paused for a moment and announced , The winner is the Landing Team ! Their substitute player was incredible ! I wonder if shes a disciple of the legendary King ! * The crowd roared , chanting Kings name . Upon hearing that name , Alice fell into a daze ; it was that person who had taught her the twelve strikes in her past life . She had questioned their connections , but he had never confirmed it . She had never even seen him . But the legendary King had always remained anonymous ; no one knew what he looked like . Alice took off her headset , and as she stood up , the cheers of victory filled her ears . She smiled , finally able to make that disrespectful person apologize to their parents publicly ! Noah was the first to reach her , beaming , Alice , you were amazing ! Your efforts won this match . I knew you were secretly practicing , even though you refused to join the team , right ? He was overjoyed ; Alice hadnt changed . They were still a family . But as Alice heard those words , her smile faded . It felt a bit disappointing . She looked at the captain of the Mount Team . You lost ! The opponent looked at Alice with a complex expression , Who are you on earth ? Noah said proudly , Shes my sister . 22.22 0.0 % < Chapter 28 Menu But wasnt the Welch familys daughter the one with terrible skills ? When did you get a new sister ? Noahs expression stiffened . That was our adopted sister . Shes our real sister . You guys are clever . You used a weak adopted sister as a decoy , hiding your real sister . You caught us off guard . Lukes face paled . He hadnt expected Alice to be this amazing ! The Mount captain approached Alice . But I admit defeat . Youre incredible . The twelve hit combo was legendary ; no one had mastered it since Kings retirement . She was the first . Alices tone was flat . You need to keep your promise . Alright , I said some inappropriate things during the match about your parents . That was my fault ; I shouldnt have said that . Im sorry ! Alice nodded . Watch your mouth . Luke interjected , Is that all it takes ? Alice looked at him , surprised . The Mount captain sneered . Whats it to you ? The one who beat us is your sister ! If you lack skill , just shut up ! As tensions rose , Noah quickly pressed down on Luke to avoid trouble . The match ended , and the crowd dispersed . Alice went backstage and immediately spotted Chloe , her face streaked with tears and her eyes red . The atmosphere was awkward . Chloe looked up , her eyes filled with tears , looking pitifully vulnerable . Anyone who saw her like this would feel a twinge of sympathy . But Alices eyes were cold ; she knew Chloe was just putting on an act , a tactic she had used countless times since childhood . Chloe weakly called out , Luke , its my fault . I shouldnt have left the match . Shed been embarrassed , thinking Luke would comfort her . But Alice had stepped in and won brilliantly . She needed to salvage her image . Luke frowned . You finally decided to come back ? If it werent for Alice , what would you have done in this match ? Chloe , feeling wronged , started to cry , Its all my fault ! I shouldnt have let a few harsh words get to me . I was just so afraid of failing that I did something so foolish . I promise it wont happen again . When Chloe started crying , the other team members quickly chimed in , Captain , shes already apologized , so why hold a grudge ? Yeah , Captain , we won the match anyway . If Chloe hadnt dropped out , the substitutes wouldnt have even had a chance to play . How would we have won this game ? Luke felt that familiar sense of helplessness creeping back in . Frustrating ! Noah turned to Alice . What do you think ? Alice was taken aback that Noah would ask her opinion . She replied , I agree . Since Chloe 0 22:22 0.0 % * Chapter 28 apologized , what more do you want ? Luke , youre being too petty , Chloes grades dropped because of the competition . You should appreciate her efforts Chloe clenched her teeth nearby , fully aware that Alice was deliberately trying to stir up trouble between her and Luke ! When did this woman become so difficult to deal with ? Luke felt a pang of anger . This was a complete reversal of the truth ! Chloe was the one who messed up , and he couldnt even say a word without being made to look like the bad guy ? He said angrily , Alice , are you doing this on purpose ? Alice smiled inwardly . Yes , she was . Shed been treated this way countless times . Luke , youve only been treated this way once , and you cant handle it ? Alice turned to leave , but Noah stopped her .
