388. Mr. Farrell Was Jealous Again
Edward Sullivan and the others were stunned. His youngest? How handsome! Those who knew might think this was an esports competition, but those who didn’t might think they were here for a fashion show. Just sitting there, he was enough to make people swoon!
In the audience, Theodore pointed below, “Wow, is the one sitting next to the coach his fiancee? She’s so beautiful! Like a fairy!”
Orson scowled and smacked Theodore on the head. “Are you blind? How could my brother marry a woman like that? She doesn’t deserve him.”
Theodore clicked his tongue. Not deserving? They were perfectly matched! Theodore had once wondered what kind of woman could marry Jared; now he knew.
Jared and Tina, unaware of the turmoil around them, sat in the midst of thousands at the competition site. Two people were already burning with anger just because they were sitting together.
The match began, and within three minutes, Lysander had cleared the jungle area and secured the first kill. “This kid has some skills,” Jared commented objectively. Judging by Lysander’s performance, he was indeed better than Orson.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Tina furrowed her brows. Why was he so aggressive? Weren’t they supposed to hide their strength in the first game to prevent Snake from understanding their tactics?
With Lysander’s aggressive playstyle, the match ended swiftly within thirty minutes. Even Orson was surprised by this performance. As an old rival, he could tell that Hawk’s level this time was ten times higher than before.
After experiencing seven consecutive defeats, Hawk finally secured their first win, boosting their morale immensely. The cheers almost filled the entire arena. Fans stood up and cheered, finally seeing hope for Hawk to win the championship.
The next match did not involve Lysander or Orson. Tina and Jared left the audience seats. From a distance, they saw Orson leading Snake’s team over.
“Brother, we’re going to the training room to prepare for the afternoon match,” Orson said to Jared but glared at Tina with obvious hostility. Tina had noticed Orson’s animosity towards her during her last visit to the Farrell family. This time it seemed even more pronounced.
“Tina, we won!” Lysander ran over with a smile. Whether intentionally or not, he tripped just before reaching Tina and fell heavily on his knee.
Tina hurried over to check on him and helped him up. “Don’t move; be careful not to hurt your bones. Where are the others?”
Lysander’s face showed some pain. “They went back to the lounge; I was in a hurry to find you… Ouch, it hurts.”
“I’ll help you inside.” Tina put Lysander’s arm around her shoulder to reduce the weight on his knee.
Jared’s eyes narrowed dangerously at Lysander’s hand on Tina’s shoulder. If looks could kill, that hand would be gone by now. But this was Tina’s friend; he couldn’t act rashly.
“Come on, I’ll carry you.” Jared grabbed Lysander’s wrist and pulled him over with force.
Orson was shocked. “Brother, how can you carry Lysander! You’ve never even carried me!”
Orson blocked Jared’s way. “Lysander, are you a man? You can’t handle a fall? Trash! Why should my brother carry you?”
Lysander raised an eyebrow defiantly. “Who asked your brother to meddle?”
Tina was speechless. “Stop arguing; I’ll help you to the lounge.”
“No!” Jared held onto Lysander’s wrist tightly. “He’s too big; you can’t handle it.”
Tina thought she could handle it; she could lift Hayden with ease.
Hayden: So, does love really fade?
Jared glared at Lysander coldly. “I’ll carry you.”
Lysander squinted back at him, a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Suddenly, Orson hoisted Lysander onto his shoulder. “I’ll carry him!”
Though similar in size, Lysander was shorter and thinner than Orson and was easily carried back to the lounge.
This move startled both Snake and Hawk team members in their lounges.
Orson threw Lysander onto a sofa. “Troublesome.”
Lysander blushed with anger. “Busybody!”
Just as they were about to argue again, Tina and Jared walked in.
Tina immediately rolled up Lysander’s pant leg to check his injury. Luckily it wasn’t serious.
She patted his head lightly. “No bone damage, just a flesh wound. Be more careful next time!”
Lysander smiled sheepishly. “Got it.”
Jared narrowed his eyes at this scene.
Alright kid, you’re good at playing games.
“Brother, let’s go,” Orson urged while pulling Jared away.
Jared brushed off Orson’s hand and helped Tina up instead, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Tina, are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”
Tina realized she was indeed hungry. “Okay.” She turned to Edward Sullivan and the others. “You guys train first; I’ll bring food back later.”
Lysander looked anxious but before he could speak, Jared placed a hand on his shoulder with an intimidating gaze full of authority.
A chilling pressure emanated from Jared’s fingers onto Lysander as he said slowly and clearly, “Wait here; we’ll be back soon.”
Lysander couldn’t utter a word as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Tina pinched Jared’s waist discreetly, puzzled by his hostility towards Lysander.
As Jared led Tina out of the lounge, Edward Sullivan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“He scared me to death! Tina’s fiance is terrifying.”
“I didn’t even dare speak! It’s just lunch!”
“I’m worried about Tina; what if he bullies her?”
“Don’t be silly; our Tina is strong enough.”
Only Lysander remained silent, staring at the door with clenched fists.
Jared, one day I will win Tina back!
In an apartment in Ashbury,
Lily stared at the documents on the table in horror.
Across from her sat Jasper who asked calmly, “What’s wrong? Can’t do it?”
Lily put down the documents shakily. “Dad, this is too terrifying! Is this really possible?”
Jasper had previously told Lily to complete a virus experiment but she hadn’t expected it would be something like this.
If developed successfully this virus would become one of humanity’s most dreadful creations due to its rapid transmission alone regardless of its toxicity.
“No way Dad! We can’t do this; it’s harmful!”
Fearful of breaking laws Lily wanted out knowing multiple heads wouldn’t suffice if caught.
