Chapter 822
Who was it?
Who had the audacity to brush him off?
And who on earth would dare to ignore him?
Just as the team was scratching their heads over this mystery, Jules shot off another message.
[Team] Jules: Hey, Flora, could you give me a little attention here? @Bronze F.
[Team] F: Haven't checked my messages.
[Team] Jules: Well, check them now, I've got something to tell you. Hehe...
That cheeky 'hehe' at the end painted a vivid picture in everyone's minds of Jules, probably grinning like a fool and rubbing his hands together, much like a puppy wagging its tail. The team was taken aback once again.
Who was this Flora, that even Jules was bending over backward to get her attention? Wasn't she just a stubborn Bronze player?
Too shy to ask in the team chat, they slid into Ethan's DMs. But Ethan wasn't spilling any secrets about Flora's real identity, only dropping hints that she was seriously talented.
The team didn't pay Flora much mind, unsure if she really was as good as Ethan claimed. But they didn't doubt Jules one bit. With him on their side, they were sure they could just sit back and win without breaking a sweat. At 8:55 PM, the system channel opened up, and every member of the team jumped in.
Each squad had about twenty players, diving into an all-out battle royale. First, they'd face off against teams of the same level, then gradually take on higher-level teams until they got knocked out.
There were ten levels in total, and Ethan's squad, the Zephyr Squad, was hanging out at level three.
Zephyr Squad had a rep for being pretty weak, so any team that got matched with them felt like they'd hit the jackpot.
What a stroke of luck it was to be pitted against the Zephyr Squad.
But then, in the blink of an eye...
Everyone was left speechless.
Since Jules had the Supreme VIP status and official verification, his ID stood out crystal clear to everyone.
"Whoa! It's Super F!"
"Am I seeing things? Is that really Super F, or is someone impersonating him?"
"Impersonating? Look at that official verification mark!"
Despair hit them like a ton of bricks. They'd thought a match with Zephyr Squad was a guaranteed win. But now...
How on earth could they compete now!
Super F alone could wipe the floor with them!
Zephyr Squad had pulled a miracle, somehow roping in Super F. Hold up, there was Super F too.
When they realized it was just an alt account, they breathed a sigh of relief. No way could Zephyr Squad be that impressive, to have Super F join them, but even having just Jules was enough to crush them.
Lower-ranked teams didn't waste a second before forfeiting.
Going against Super F? They wouldn't last a single move.
Opponent forfeited.
Another opponent forfeited.
Yet another opponent forfeited, their spirits crushed.
Zephyr Squad's ranking shot up like a rocket, leaving other teams in utter disbelief.
What on earth was going on?
How did Zephyr Squad become such a powerhouse overnight?
They'd climbed up to level five!
With Jules' reputation, he could scare off the weaker teams without lifting a finger. But as they climbed the ranks, the competition got tougher. Those who got to face Jules were buzzing with excitement.
Meeting Super F in such a competition was an opportunity they couldn't pass up!
But, as the saying goes, one man can't hold back an army. Jules, facing twenty foes on his own, was starting to feel the heat. The rest of the Zephyr Squad wanted to help out, but their average skills weren't much of a game-changer.
"Flora, bail me out! Bail me out!"
Hearing Jules' plea through her headset, Flora clicked her tongue in annoyance.
She didn't rush in. Instead, she watched as Jules was surrounded. Just as he was about to be overwhelmed, she finally spoke up: "Some hero you are, struggling with this lot." And with that, her fingers danced over the keyboard.
