Lemira''s move was devastating.
She took out two opponents in one fell swoop and left another seriously injured. Afternding, her gaze briefly met the bloody aftermath on the ground where ricy defeated.
ric, fixated on the screen, was engulfed by a wave of shock and disbelief. He knew Lemira was talented, but he had no idea she was this formidable!
But wait, Lemira hadn''t always been this strong. When had she powered up?
From the moment he was captured, ric had resigned himself to defeat. But then Lemira swooped in, her agility and keen sense of y stabilizing the team and even turning the tide with King''s move - a twelve-hitbo!
ric realized he might never have truly known his sister. Lemira had be a stranger to him, igniting a fear of losing her that he couldn''t quite exin.
He hesitated before speaking, "You..."
But Lemira had already moved on, speaking over the headset, "Report the rest''s location and status, I''ll be right there."RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Only ric was left on the spot, looking at merely a game character''s cool retreating figure. Suddenly, he turned to cast a nce at Lemira who kept focusing on theputer screen, her state captivating.
Lucian uttered next to him, "ric, you zoned out there?"
Snapped back to reality, ric scrambled to catch up. Downstairs, Lemira was leading a fierce assault with the team members, her gamey nothing short of top-level and spectacrpared to Evelina''s clumsy efforts. This was the gunner he had envisioned! In the end, it was Lemira who clinched the victory.
ric was swamped with mixed emotions. The game he valued so much was won thanks to Lemira, the sister he had underestimated. He had never felt such feeling before, a psychological gap.
The game concluded swiftly, with Lemira, the gunner, standing at the deserted street and basking in the victory under the setting sun.
After a brief silence, the host announced, "It''s decided, Skyze wins, thanks to their substitute yer''s incredible performance. Could she be the King''s protégé?"
The crowd erupted, some fans chanting for the King. Lemira was momentarily lost in thought while hearing the name, remembering it was someone who had taught her the twelve-hitbo, a man whose connection to the King she had always suspected but never confirmed.
Neither had she ever seen him.
King never revealed himself, and no one knew what he looked like.
Removing her headset, Lemira stood up to the sound of victory cheers, her smile signifying not just the win, but also the impending apology from their disrespectful opponent.
Lucian was the first toe to her, surprised, "Lemon, you were outstanding. We couldn''t have won this game without you! I knew you were secretly practicing despite refusing to join the team, right?"
His joy was evident, relieved that Lemira hadn''t changed. They were still family.
But Lemira''s smile faded at his words; she felt a bit displeased. She turned to the IronVow team captain, "You lost!"
The captain looked at her with aplex gaze, "Who are you, exactly?"
Lucian proudly dered, "She''s my sister."
"But wasn''t Ms. Langston that terrible yer from before? When did the Langston family get another Ms. Langston?"
Lucian''s expression stiffened for a moment, "That was our adopted sister. This is our real sister."
"You guys really know how to y the game, sending a decoy ''sister'' to throw us off and keeping your real secret weapon hidden. You caught uspletely off guard."
