3/3 Chapter 29 Wesley's Arrival Chapter 29 Wesley's Arrival " Of course not ! The contract is all set , " the coach said , whipping out the contract he had prepared right after their first match . " Tsk , but I'm still the boss , right ? " Wylie quipped , although no one really acknowledged his comment . The mood at GOD was ecstatic , in stark contrast to the tension at Anexis where the atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife . They had just lost a training match and now had to deal with a visit from the boss - talk about pressure ! Bastian , bringing Sydney along , made his way to the Anexis headquarters . He had promised Sydney a chance to play , and he intended to keep that promise . The coach briefed him on the training match loss , but Bastian was unfazed . " It's just a training match . Let's focus on performing well in the official games . They've got a good mid - laner , but our players are solid too . " His words buoyed the spirits of the team . Then , Bastian made an announcement , " Since everyone's here , I'd like to introduce you to someone . This is Sydney , my sister , who will join us for the Autumn Finals . Given that Sydney is new , she'll only play the first match . " To the team , this basically meant the boss ' sister was joining them - just keep her safe and sound during the match . The team's reaction was immediately supportive , especially from those who usually had harsh words for women in esports . Jungler said , " The boss ' sister is our sister , and she's got free rein . I'll even snag the buff for you . " Top laner chimed in , " She can play however she wants , win or lose - it's all good . " The support did not hesitate to say he would leave the marksman and stick with Sydney during the game . Sydney lowered her eyelids , offering a shy smile , " Thank you for taking care of me, big brothers . " Her grace and charm naturally endeared her to the team , with several members clearly pleased by her simple acknowledgment . Despite the apparent camaraderie , Petal struggled to share in the joviality . He puzzled over Anexis ' strategy - why introduce a new player so soon after his own recruitment ? It felt almost like a slight . Under normal circumstances , he would not have minded , especially given Sydney's prominent family connections , and knowing it was only for one game which was more a formality than anything serious . However , his recent defeats against the formidable Phoenix had left him uneasy , almost jumpy at the sight of a woman in the gaming arena . " I need some air , " he muttered , excusing himself . ||| O 1/3 14:56 Sat , 9 Aug Chapter 29 Wesley's Arrival Sydney , perceptive to his discomfort , recognized him . He was Wylie's former teammate , probably unsettled by her arrival as if she had usurped his place . Seeing an opportunity to perhaps bridge a connection with Wylie , she followed Petal outside . Petal , visibly annoyed , did not mask his feelings , " Why are you here ? To flaunt your status ? " Instead of reacting defensively , Sydney remained calm , " I'm sorry , I realize my presence might be unsculing . " Petal , taken aback by her mature response , found himself at a loss for words . " I've heard about your amazing skills back when you were with GOD . I'd be grateful if you could show me a few things , " she said , admiration clear in her voice . The flattery softened Petal slightly , though he maintained a veneer of resistance , " I'm not in the habit of teaching . " " I'm eager to learn ! " Sydney's response , coupled with an earnest smile , seemed to cut through Petal's reserve .

Did they not realize this was Hubert's place ? If the Draywick Larks were to be cautious of anyone , it would have to be the Lennox . Azalea was correct about one thing - Cassius was unaware that this was one of Hubert's private properties . Hubert officially resided at Crestmere Estate , and this location was kept private . The Larks likely thought some rich newcomer had built this villa , and even the wealthiest families in Draywick were nothing to them , so Wesley felt bold enough to arrive with bodyguards .
