Chapter 399 – 399. The Loyalty Test (1)

Why is Crystal Snake so strong?
It was a question for many fans, and a question I also had.

Most of the players were composed of newcomers, and even if they were not newcomers, there were many players who did not receive much attention until last season.
But how could a large number of powerful players appear like they fell from the sky?

‘Of course it’s because of that ability.’

The ability to subdue any man.
I don’t know how he trained the players with it, but he must have used his ability.

‘Or maybe I could ask my little sister myself, but… ‘

Thinking of the last time I saved you from a crisis, it seems that your hostility toward me has diminished a little.
If you approach it succinctly, you might be able to share a story.

Anyway, it was while watching the broadcasting screen while thinking about that.
Just before entering the ban-pick stage of Crystal Snake and Tosca R3, the camera showed the audience.

Crystal, the girl she had been thinking about just a moment ago, was sitting there with her.
She’s a petite she among the hulking bodyguards.

Usually, she rarely showed her face in the arena, so this alone was a wonder.
Her narrator and caster also looked at her caught on the screen and said in amazement.

“Oh… The president of Crystal Snake is sitting.”
“Yeah. You’re running a really great company at such a young age, right?”
“As far as I know, you must be Korean-American.”
“Oh! Okay!”

The narrator and caster didn’t seem to know the genealogy of our family yet.
That the president of the phone company is Crystal’s father, and that she and her siblings are me, the manager of the Battle Angels.

‘Well, why do you know such a bean flour housekeeper?’

As I stared blankly at the screen, thinking useless thoughts, I suddenly had that thought.
Shall we go again like we did when we went to see Coach Mesa?

‘There’s no reason not to.’

I immediately packed my things and left the hotel.

###

It wasn’t too difficult to get all the way to the arena and find out where her sister was.
Because Naya was closely involved in the competition, she was free to come in and out, and her sister was a hugely popular person, so she was noticed everywhere.

However, as I sneaked closer to her, a man who appeared to be her bodyguard stood in front of me.

He is over 180 cm tall and looks three times larger than a normal male.
It was an appearance that made me wonder how it could blow horizontally like that.

It was Mr. Seoyeon, who was acting as my bodyguard, who stopped his eyes from looking at me.

A small smile bloomed on the man’s face.
It seemed funny that her size, which was less than half her own, stood in front of her to protect others.

But it is a fact she knows very well.
Seoyeon Han quickly raises her knee and hits her.
There was a small sound that I couldn’t hear due to the noisy atmosphere around me, but it was a close range and unexpected attack, so I had no time to deal with it.

“Ouch… “

He was kicked in an important part and fell down to the left.
Thanks to this, a small confusion arose around her, and her sister also threw her eyes in this direction.

I couldn’t see it well because it was far away, but it seemed like he was sighing.
I smiled and waved her hand at her.

As her sister beckons, the hulking bodyguards around her pile up.
Thanks to that, Seoyeon Han put on a nervous expression, but I lightly shook her hand and dissuaded her.

“Don’t worry, I’m close with you.”
“…Yes.”

And the bodyguards who approached soon surround me.
It was an instant that both arms were seized.

I was lifted straight up and delivered to my sister’s side.

“Go, Director!”

Still, he had time to shake Seoyeon’s hand as she shouted in surprise.

“Hey, I’ll take you without having to walk. After all, American bodyguards are different.”
“…”

Seoyeon had an embarrassing face, but she didn’t fight anymore.
Thanks to that, I was able to sit next to her sister without difficulty.

“Long time no see.”
“…Uh.”

I greeted her first, and she replied in her plaintive voice.
Profile view of the arena with her head tilted sideways.
I laughed for no reason at the sight of him trying not to make eye contact with me.

I said as if tossing it next to her.

“Do you think you will win this match?”
“Hey, I invested this much, but if I don’t win, I’ll die.”
“What are you saying kill everything again? Just tell them to work harder next time.”

She watched the game with a light joke to break the awkward atmosphere with her.
But did the words touch something inside her?
Suddenly, he looks at me with a serious face.

“Do you know why our team is strong?”
“You, what do you mean brother?”
“…Please, can’t you be serious when you’re serious?”
“What do you want to say?”

I also turn her head to look at her, and she also faces me without avoiding.

“The players do anything for me. Not just players, of course, but all men.”
“I am not.”
“…Because you are a special case. So what I mean is that if the players who are already trying their best don’t grow any more, that’s the end of that guy’s limit.”.
“You are very determined.”
“Joy.”

I didn’t want to understand the words that the players had no talent at first glance, but considering her ability, it was a story with evidence.
There was a user who couldn’t even get a diamond even after 10,000 hours.
In the professional world, talent is more important than anything else.

While I was having a conversation with my younger brother, the 2nd set of bans and picks were all over.
The first half of the match looked very intense.
Both teams seemed to be playing the game with more tension than usual, probably not wanting to lose to their opponent.

“It would be nice to have loyal players.”
“…That’s natural. I have no interest in games, but they are specially selected to trample on you.”
“You don’t want to trample on me right now?”
“I just lost interest because I thought I would be playing games or something from now on. Now my goal is to destroy the Chimera Company.”

She knew his intentions, as she had been roughed up by him not too long ago.
It was fortunate for me that she, who was difficult to deal with anyway, had a different mind.

Is that why?
I thought it would be okay for her to step inside her line a little longer.

“But I wouldn’t mind if you still wanted to trample on me?”
“…You have so much confidence, right? You don’t know my abilities yet? A man possessed by me once can do anything.”
“That goes for me too.”

I thought of the players and coaches I had hooked up with.

“They do whatever I ask them to do.”
“Okay?”

Curiosity flashed in her eyes for the first time during her conversation with her.

“Then do you want to bet?”

As befits her bet-lover, the word came out right away.
Her players are almost fanatical, so I honestly don’t think she’ll win.

For some reason, it seemed to her that if she were her players, she would even disregard her own life.

‘And what I hate more is that even if it really happens, her sister doesn’t seem to have any guilt.’

I had no intention of wasting my precious players for mere entertainment.
So she decided not to accept the bet with her.

If it wasn’t for her words that followed.

“If you don’t like it, stop. Then the relationship between you and your players must be that much.”

Oh, I can’t stand it.
I said while crossing my legs in a relaxed manner.

“The quality of us is different from the four players you deal with.”

Then her sister also smiles and opens her mouth.

“So you’re doing it? What do you want?”

Maybe life is boring.
I see you keep trying to bet something.

She looks at my reaction and tells me what I’m most afraid of.

“How about giving one player to the opponent?”

Hearing that, she honestly felt sleepy, but she endured it.
Instead, I changed my words a bit.

“By giving one of the people you have with you. I don’t need all of you players.”
“Well, okay.”

In terms of affection for the player, her rough-and-tumble team and our team cannot be compared.
She giggled as if she knew that too.

No matter how you look at it, he seems to think that he is a profitable business.

“Now then, which one should we use to test loyalty first?”

Her sister asked with a mischievous smile.

It was the confidence that I could win no matter what subject I threw.
But I had a hand that could win unconditionally.
Otherwise, I would never have accepted such a childish bet!

“Then let’s start with something light.”
“Good. Do whatever.”
“Let’s start with whether or not you can suck the owner’s ass.”
“…What?”

It was pretty cheesy, but the effect was direct.

I asked mockingly.

“Why? Can’t you?”

Of course her players could.
But it was something she could never accept.

Then, realizing that this wasn’t just a test of her fighter’s loyalty, she twisted her face.

“Why am I suddenly out there?”
“Then who are you proving your loyalty to?”
“…”

Not only the loyalty the players have to us, but also the affection we have for them is put to the test.
Realizing that, she frowned.
