Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

But now, the opponent's Top Solo believed S was the true genius, while players like them were merely ordinary players compared to him. Leon Batton could sense how disappointed he felt at the loss.

"Keep it up," he encouraged softly while holding his opponent's hand.

The guy instantly felt his heart expanding with warmth at his words although he couldn't stop feeling depressed.

After both teams shook hands, Leon led his teammates to the center of the stage, and then they bowed to the audience.

Right then, the pretty emcee walked onto the stage.

"S, please stay. I'd like to interview you today," she addressed Leon with a smile.

The rest of the team exchanged knowing glances and grinned upon hearing that, backing away immediately to leave the stage.

Their fans were all screaming excitedly below the stage-

"S! You're amazing!"

"S is so handsome. I'm going crazy! I thought his teammates were already pretty good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be even more so." "Everyone on Team XS can have careers as models, right? Even actors in television dramas don't look as good as them." "I'm a big fan now!"

Their voices overlapped with each other's and lent to a chaotic scene, irking Leon endlessly.

However, he kept his cool as the stage lights were directed at him, making him appear almost as if there was a halo above him.

He looked like an angel sent from above, untouchable to other commoners who could only clad eyes on him.

Even the pretty emcee couldn't help but feel excited when she gazed at Leon, despite meeting countless good-looking young men before.

She walked up to Leon and smiled. "Congratulations to S and Team XS for winning the competition again."

"Thank you," he replied curtly.

"We know Team XS has gotten much stronger ever since you joined. You and your teammates seem to be getting along quite well, aren't you?" she questioned. "Yeah."

"Is there anything you would like to say to your fans?" she prompted.

"Thank you all for your support," he

replied, causing another meltdord

from the audience when

audience when they heard

his words-

"Ahh! S sounds so cold and diplomatic, but I still like him a lot."

"He's like a male protagonist from an eSports novel! I'm going crazy!"

"I don't like aloof men, but S is an exception. I really like S!"

"S is the greatest!"

"That man up there is the one I worship."

The emcee chuckled at the various outbursts. Smiling, she kept her gaze on Lean. "Your fans are praising members of Team XS for your good looks. I'm curious; do you have standards on looks as a requirement when choosing a player to join the team?

"How are all of you so good-looking?" she went on.

Everyone was curious about the answer to that question, too.

The entire stadium fell silent all of a sudden.

"I'm not sure," Leon replied.

"I suppose it plays a part, however minor it may be, right?" she asked. "All right, let's get back to business want to ask why you picked Lucian for all three matches. Weren't you Il worried your opponents might figure out your tactics and use

counter-measures against you?"

"No, I wasn't worried."

"You're a very confident guy, S. You are a great player," she praised.

He didn't respond, still appearing cold and arrogant.

"Do you feel good after winning the competition today, S?" she added after a moment's hesitation.

"Not too bad," he answered simply.

"That's it?"

"Yeah," he said.

"I have a question that your fans are all curious to know," the emcee said. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

She wasn't supposed to ask a personal question on stage, but she was curious to know.

"No."

She seemed happy about his answer. "Is there someone you like? Perhaps you could tell us who you admire."
