Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Larissa lelt Jay’s room, fully aware that she might lace termination by the general manager. However, she was not afraid of this outcome. Jay might have the power to cost her job, but he was not able to do whatever he liked in Covenford.. With her credentials and skills, finding another job in the industry wouldn’t be difficult for Larissa. Surprisingly, the whole aftemoon passed without any communication from the general manager, Larissa did not know if it was because Jay had not complained about her or if he did complain and the general manager chose to overlook the matter. But regardless of whichever it was, she did not care. Not long after she clocked out Larissa received a phone call from Zero, whom she had net met for a long time.

“My Lady Luck, you free tonight? You cool with supper?” Zero rarely called her out for a hangout, so Larissa could not find it in herself to reluse her. “Sure. Send me the address.” Supper was at a Southern-style diner that sold greasy lood. But Zero ate pasta instead which was strangely bland for her caling habits. Tve recently gotten quite a bit of acne, so I’m taking it easy with heavy foods for now,” Zrro explained. is it because of makeup allergy or what? Larissa asked based on what she was told. “Did you check it out at the hospita? “No.” Zero pursed her lips as she touched her face. “I’m just angry, but I haven’t got any place to lash out so it turned into acne instead.” “What’s wrong? Larissa was curious. Zero was pretty chill when she was not gaming, so it was rare to see her angry. To be so angry to the point that she had acne clear that this was no smal matter. “It’s those two knuckleheads! Dark Knight and Best! F ucking as sholes!” Zero huffed even as she

shoved a mouthful of salad into her mouth. The names Dark Knight and BestM were somewhat familiar to Larissa. After a bit of recalling. she realized that they were the anchors under Lana. Was “Ever since they’ve surpassed me in all sorts of rankings, they keep coming to show off their results. I just don’t understand, if they have so much free time, why don’t they practice more with their gaming skills? They play so badly. Who on earth even let them ve-stream? Zero chewed or her salad which garbled her speech as she ranted. Ruffling her hair. Larissa comforted her. “Relax. What’s important for a game streamer is their gaming skills, With those two, they have nothing if they don’t have an agent like Lana.” “But it’s precisely because they depend on Lara le deliver their results that they’ve been able to take advantage of the platform and its resources!” Zero’s face was red, but it was hard to tel if it was from her anger or the heat Inside the diner. Larissa began to understand. “They’ve taken your resources too?” “Yeah” Zero nodded sulkily. “It’s the anniversary of Ballegrounds of Champions, and the organizers are holding an exhipton match. They’ve invited renowned players from around the world. Including many of my idols. Since StreamWave will be responsible or live- streaming the entire competition, the gaming company made an exception and allowed two of the company’s anchors to participate. “You know that I started as a professional player, and my skills are top-notch at StreamWave. A few days ago, the website formed me about participating, but today they suddenly loud me that the participants are now Dark Knight and Basi All because they are endorsers of Yenti Clan, and Yenli Clan are the compelllion’s biggest sponsors.” Larissa naturaly felt sorry for Zero, but this sort of thing was one of the common implct rules of the industry. Having worked for a long time, Larissa had witnessed many similar occurrences, and she had grown accustomed to them. As a result, she did not react as strongly as Zero did.

“Honestly, I’m not angry because they took away the resources that should have been mine. It’s just that this competition is my one and

only chance to share the same stage as my idols and if I miss Lit’s gone forever.” Zero was unusually despondent

“Is there no way to try fighting for an extra spot? Larissa asked.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
