Rebirth vs. Rebirth Tragedy to Triumph (by Violeta and Zelena) [[Chapters 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160]]

Chapter 151

Niall remarked, “It’s not just that. There might be flooding, but the bigger issue is the island next door. Their foundation isn’t stable, and a tsunami could cause it to collapse”

Liam, sitting on the sofa nearby, frowned at this.

Zoren walked over and placed a reassuring hand on Liam’s shoulder. “Your sister and brother are still there.”

Liam didn’t respond.

Violeta put the cake on the table, sat on the carpet with her legs crossed, and, said, “If that island collapses, they’re in big trouble. Aren’t you going to help, Liam?”

Liam knew he couldn’t avoid helping, even if he didn’t want to.

Hattie and Benson were part of the Ridge family, even though they were born out of wedlock. They had been accepted back into the family, and his grandfather subtly recognized them. If something went wrong and it came to light that Liam was there but didn’t assist, his grandfather would be angry.

Additionally, Liam worried about the backlash if they survived and decided to go against him. Explaining his actions would be tough.

The more he pondered it, the more anxious Liam became.

“We’ll talk about it once it collapses. When their time comes, no one can stop it.

“It’s all up to destiny.”

The lounge had various board games and a pool table.

The staff brought in a bottle of red wine and some glasses.

As Violeta enjoyed her cake, they started a game of pool, and Niall was busy on his phone.

Violeta, still nibbling on her cake, explored the area and found an esports room behind the lounge.

She looked at Niall and asked, “Can we use this esports room, Niall? It’s likely pouring outside, and the internet cafes might be shut.”

Niall, covering the phone, responded, “Yeah, we have internet here.”

When they were setting up the island’s wireless network, they took the island’s weather into account and made special adjustments.

Violeta checked out the esports room and noticed the impressive setup.

The equipment is top-notch, with large monitors with a cool, futuristic vibe.

Considering the playing pool outside, Violeta decided to just pull up a chair and play inside.

There were plenty of popular games, but ‘MLSS’ caught Violeta’s eye.

During middle school, Violeta, like any other teenager, enjoyed playing games.

But later on, she aimed to get into Toland University, so she gave up gaming and concentrated on studying hard.

Finally, she was admitted to Toland University with top-notch grades. She had planned to make up for lost game time after getting into Toland University.

However, little did she know that before she even started university, Zelena would come back.

From then on, her spare time at university was spent working to earn a living. Gaming was completely out of the picture. Until her death, Violeta never found the time to revisit those happy moments.

Reflecting on it now, she longed for those moments.

MLSS belonged to the MOBA genre.

In this life, her account may have been idle for just two years.

But now, as Violeta sat in front of the computer screen and entered her game account on the keyboard, she was the only one who knew that it was not just two years, but a whole lifetime.

The game interface has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the gameplay has also been updated.

Fortunately, the core of the game remains unchanged, and Violeta quickly became familiar with it after a little exploration.

Her account used to be top-tier, but now it’s fallen to the bottom. Despite that, she’s confident that her skills are still top-notch!

She launched a game and completely lost herself in the excitement.

In a different room, following a video chat with Zelena, Hattie geared up to join forces with Zelena and Casey from the dance club for some gaming.

“Hattie, you’re our ace player. You should take the jungle role and guide us to victory.”

“We’re counting on you!”

Hattie felt a surge of pride. “I’m not that outstanding; just decent. But if you’re all game, let’s do this together!”

“Oh, don’t be so modest.”

“You’ve got a knack for those heroes, it’s impressive, especially for a girl like you. As for me, I’m more comfortable with support characters haha…”

The trio teamed up and launched into a game while exchanging banter over voice chat.

Interestingly, at the same time, Violeta was indulging in a slice of cake while waiting for a match!

The delightful sweetness of the cake danced on her taste buds, filling Violeta with anticipation.

It had been a while since her last game, and she was determined to shine!

She pondered whether she still had the same level of performance as in the past.

She played a few warm-up matches, and once she felt self-assured, she would transition to ranked in games. Her current ranking couldn’t match her expertise!

All roles were swiftly assigned.

Violeta was the flexible substitute player.

Observing that there was one position left in the mid-lane after her teammates had made their choices, she casually picked a hero with simple mechanics that could swiftly eliminate enemies.

On the opposing team, Hattie took on the jungle role, Zelena chose the mid-lane, and Casey opted for support.

With roles decided, the game commenced loading.

Chapter 152

Zelena glanced at the opposing team’s ID and laughed. “Hey, look at the mid-lane player’s name on the other side. It’s so funny!”

I’m Your Sixth Uncle!

Casey chuckled. “Judging by that ID, it might be a man. He doesn’t even have any skins. Tsk.”

Hattie’s account was loaded with skins. Zelena didn’t have her own account, so she had splurged on one that came with all the skins.

Casey’s account wasn’t filled, but she had quite a few skins too. So, the first thing she noticed was the skinless mid-laner on the other side.

Unluckily for them, the player with the ID ‘I’m Your Sixth Uncle’ was none other than Violeta.

In fact, Violeta’s account had a large collection of skins.

Two years ago, her account was nearly maxed out with skins.

However, since she hadn’t played for a long time, she hadn’t bought any new skins. So now her account appeared bare.

Loading was complete and the game started.

Violeta set down her fork and focused on the game.

It had been a long time since Violeta had played, so her initial positioning wasn’t good. While clearing minion waves, she took several hits from the enemy mid-laner’s abilities, forcing her to retreat to the base with low health.

Zelena had already ridiculed her many times over chat, calling the opposing mid-laner stupid, like a bot.

Overflowing with confidence, she typed in during the gameplay: You play like a bot. Can’t even contest minion waves, how stupid hahaha…

Violeta scowled. She ignored the taunts and looked at her opponent’s ID.

“Lena the Great Cutie?” “What a ridiculous name. Looks like I’ll have to take you down.”

After clearing the next minion wave, Violeta hid in the bushes. When Zelena approached, Violeta unleashed all her abilities on her.

‘Shit’ Zelena cursed.

She barely escaped with low life and retreated under her tower to heal.

Hattie, playing the Jungler, was about to take down the dragon when Violeta spotted her and forced her to back off.

Zelena, at half health, refused to go back to base. She was taken down by Violeta.

Zelena typed furiously: “If you have the abilities, don’t hide in the bush! So annoying!”

Violeta didn’t respond, focusing on supporting other lanes and helping her Jungler take down the dragon.

Hattie was able to secure one dragon, but when she went to steal the enemy’s buff, Violeta struck her, leaving her low on health. Their Jungler swooped in to finish her off.

Hattie, now a bit riled up, remarked, “This mid-laner has good awareness, definitely not a newbie.”

Zelena and Casey weren’t highly ranked players. Among them, Hattie had the highest rank.

Technically, with her skill level, Hattie should have been able to win this match with her eyes closed. However, they hadn’t expected to encounter such an aware mid-laner.

As the game progressed, Zelena became increasingly anxious, afraid of being ambushed by Violeta. So, she refrained from providing support to other lanes.

Violeta took complete control of the game’s tempo. With each successful play, Violeta regained her rhythm, racking up more kills, and before long, two lanes’ towers were destroyed.

Hattie couldn’t carry the game on her own. Frustrated, she called out, “Lena, do something! Why are you just sitting in mid-lane?”

“I’m scared she’ll ambush me. Alright, alright, I’ll go support,” Zelena admitted.

“Ah!”

However, as soon as she moved to support, Violeta took her down in an instant.

Staring at the black screen, Zelena was fuming and started typing furiously, hurling insults at Violeta.

“Can you do anything other than hide in bushes and ambush people?”

Violeta dismissed her, staying focused on maintaining the game’s momentum:

After securing the dragon, a team fight broke out, and the opposing team was utterly decimated.

Hattie was speechless. She couldn’t carry the team alone. With no damage coming from the mid-laner and the other two lanes constantly collapsing; her economy suffered. She was powerless.

On top of that, Violeta repeatedly interrupted her when she played as a Jungler.

After several frustrating encounters, Hattie couldn’t hold back her anger anymore and typed: “The mid-laner is so dirty!”

Violeta managing both her gameplay and glancing at the oncoming team’s breakdowns felt increasingly satisfied.

In the next team fight, Violeta initiated and took down Hattie, the only damage dealer, but suffered massive damage and died for the first time.

Ironically, it was Zelena who killed her.

Despite her 1/10 score, she was extremely happy and genuinely thrilled at having taken down Violeta.

Ha! You died! Serves you right!

However, soon after she had sent the message, their base was destroyed.

Violeta was in a good mood. Because her character died, she had time to respond to the opposing team.

“Honestly, opening a chips bag is more entertaining than facing you guys. Are you in kindergarten? Your Jungler must be in middle school. Altogether, you can’t even complete nine years of compulsory.

Lena the Great Cutie typed: “Shut up, you idiot!”

I’m Your Sixth Uncle typed: “You’re a waste of space. Minions are more useful than you. If I were you, I’d just go AFK. It’s like a one–vs–ten battle; it’s laughable! Like feeding Oreos to my pet, hahaha…”

Zelena was seething. She was typing her retorts furiously when suddenly the crystal exploded.

It happened while they were busy trading insults.

Chapter 153

Their teammates played brilliantly, pushing the crystal and securing victory.

Victory!

Violeta couldn’t contain her joy as she saw the victory sign flashing on the screen.

Zelena was still fuming, “No way! I’m furious! I want to drag him here and curse him!”

Hattie exited the game and opened the profile of “I’m Your Sixth Uncle” to see his information.

One glance at the profile, and her eyes widened in shock.

They had assumed this player was a man. Unexpectedly, she was a woman!

Furthermore, many of her heroes held national rankings!

Even though those rankings were from the past, her low current rank indicated she didn’t play often anymore.

No wonder her game rhythm was so good. She used to be on the national leaderboard!!

“She’s at the national leaderboard! And she’s a woman!”

Casey scoffed. “No wonder. Only a woman could be that annoying.”

Zelena added bitterly, “What’s the big deal about her being a woman? She was so lowly, I bet someone else played on her account before. If she used to be on the national leaderboard, why is her rank so low now? Probably had some guy boosting her, and now that he’s gone, her rank was stuck!”

Meanwhile, in the esports room…

“Achoo!”

Violeta sneezed and rubbed the tip of her nose.

“It must be ‘Lena the Great Cutie’ cursing me behind my back. I should have taken her down a few more times.”

She was about to start another game when an invitation icon popped up in the top left corner of her screen.

She clicked on it and saw it was from “Lena the Great Cutie inviting her to join a group.

“Heh, it’s interesting. Are you here to scold me?”

She had regretted not taking down Lena a few more times, and now Lena was inviting her.

Well, it’s nothing to lose…

Then, she accepted the invitation.

As soon as she entered the room, a barrage of voices of Zelena and her friends hit her ears.

“Damn, this bitch comes.

“Wow, she’s got guts. Turn on your mic!”

“She’s here to get insulted, isn’t she? So darn annoying! She always hides in the bushes to ambush us…”

The voices of the three came from her earpiece.

Violeta was stunned. She immediately recognized all of them.

They were Zelena, Hattie, and Casey!

What a coincidence! This is too much of a coincidence!

Casey taunted. “You used to be on the national leaderboard, huh? Why don’t you turn on your mic? Your rank was probably boosted. You’re fucking shameless! Disgusting! You are a scum!”

Hearing their insults, Violeta quickly opened a small window beside her screen, typed a few lines of code, and downloaded a voice pack from the internet. After that, she plugged in her headphones. She did it in one fluid motion.

Her voice transformed from a crisp female tone to a deep and nice male voice.

“Can’t handle your losing, huh?”

There was no reply from the other side.

The three were immediately dumbfounded.

Confusion washed over their face.

What is this!? A moment ago, we concluded that she was a woman. How is she suddenly become a man?

Sitting in front of her computer, Violeta could almost see their confused face.

She spoke with a mocking tone, “Can’t handle losing, huh? I’ll give you a chance for revenge. Get a few more people and play another match. If I lose, I’ll apologize. But if you lose, you have to call me ‘Daddy’ and admit you were wrong. Deal?”

There was another silence.

Hattie immediately retorted, “What a bullshit! As if you fuck deserve that!”

Violeta leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. “Whether I deserve it or not isn’t decided by words, it’s decided by scores. And judging by your 1/10, 3/7, and 0/12, I’d say you don’t deserve it either.”

“See ya, little brats. Daddy’s leaving.”

After bidding her farewell, Violeta exited the room.

Whenever Violeta left, Hattie was still swearing.

“Asshole! That guy is delusional! Heck, he thinks I’ll call him Daddy? I’d rather call him a dick.”

As they fumed, Casey suddenly remembered something-

“Lena, did you know our school is hosting an intercollegiate esports tournament next month? The first prize includes official support to shoot a live-action cosplay game MV”

Zelena, who was still fuming from “I’m Your Sixth Uncle” ravings, began to calm down after hearing Casey’s words.

Casey remarked, “Hey guys, I heard about this tournament a few days ago, but we can’t disclose it until it’s finalized. Stay with us.”

Hattie scoffed. “Huh, so what? I know about the tournament, and I’m definitely signing up.”

Hattie’s ambition wasn’t a secret. She wanted to gain exposure and influence while still in school, to help her career after graduation.

Zelena shared the same hidden ambition with Hattie.

They aimed to seize every opportunity for exposure during their school years, so they could start ahead of their peers after graduation.

Casey remarked, “I’ve heard that many people from the computer sciences department are already forming teams on the forum. I don’t have the technical skills to join, but if you two want to participate, you’d better start recruiting team members now.”

Chapter 154

The room suddenly became silent.

Zelena and Hattie were both thinking it over for a while.

The thought of debuting as an esports goddess, who was adored by thousands of fans, sounded pretty awesome.

I’d attract female fans, as well as a large number of male fans.

However, Zelena’s skills were awful. If she registered in the tournament, she definitely couldn’t win at her current level, unless she played support to boost her ranking. Even then, she would need strong teammates to carry her.

If her teammates were not good enough, she wouldn’t stand a chance.

This meant she had to find some top-notch teammates.

Hattie’s skills were okay, but far from elite level.

Meanwhile, that guy from earlier, I’m Your Sixth Uncle’, had amazing awareness. Even though his rank wasn’t high yet, with that level of game sense, it was only a matter of time before he climbed the ranks. Plus, he used to be on the national leaderboard! and he was in the same server region as them. It would be perfect if they could recruit him! Hattie coughed lightly. “Ahem, what was his name again?”

Zelena had the same thought. Getting a free national leaderboard player would be so much better than recruiting average school players. They would be way ahead right from the start.

Cassy hesitated. “Hattie, you want to team up with that guy from earlier? But we just insulted him. He’s not going to help us.”

Zelena pondered for a while, then said arrogantly. “So what if he’s skilled? He doesn’t have many skins, which means he’s broke. We’re wealthy! If it weren’t for the game, he’d never have the chance to meet us. Teaming up with us would be a huge win for him. Besides, he’s a guy! If we send him a photo, he’ll change his mind.”

Cassy didn’t say anything.

Hattie agreed with Zelena’s statements and spoke contemptuously, “You’re right, Lena. If he didn’t play games, he’d never know us. Let’s try reaching out to him again. If we need to, we can offer him some money.”

Violeta left the esports room to get some water.

She ran into Hayden and his friends, who had just finished playing pool.

Hayden inquired, “Were you just playing a game in there?”

Violeta nodded. “Yeah, I was playing MLSS. Do you guys play too? Do you want to join me? I can carry you!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Zoren burst out laughing at her bold statement. “Vio, you’re killing me with this bravado. I can’t handle it.” Violeta shot him a sharp look. “Mind your own business.”

Liam chimed in, “Some girls are good at games, but I haven’t met one yet.” Jasper, leaning against the pool table, added calmly, “Same here, I’ve never seen one that could carry me to win.”

Violeta drank the water and said, “Well, it’s because you haven’t met me until now. Get ready to be amazed!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Zoren’s laughter was getting louder.

Hayden set down his cue stick and frowned. “You’re too loud.

“Hayden, do you play?”

Hayden lowered his gaze. “I don’t play games.”

Violeta was surprised. “Excuse me, do you not play any games? How do you live without all that fun? That’s such a shame.”

Liam laughed, “It’s not that Hayden doesn’t play games. He does play one.”

“What game?”

“He plays ‘Happy Poker’, which is popular with millions of people and occupies the top ten of the game rankings all year round.”

Zoren added, “That’s right. He used to sit in the back of the class, not paying attention, just playing poker. He won over thirty games in a row! His luck is insane.”

Violeta was stunned. That’s a huge contrast!

Violeta recalled something, and then a sudden realization struck her. “So that’s what he was fiddling with on his phone the other day. He was playing poker!”

Zoren nodded, “Exactly.”

Hayden sighed. “I wasn’t playing at that time.”

Violeta smirked. “I don’t believe you.”

Hayden pressed his lips together in silence.

Niall chimed in ‘Hayden learned poker from his family. The Frost family tradition is strong.

During New Year’s, their main hall can fit five poker tables. Vio, remember our parents also played there last year?”

The Frost family’s love for poker influenced Hayden from a young age.

On his first birthday, he grabbed a spade card in one hand and a poker rulebook in the other.

Even though they played poker, due to their professional commitments, they played for very low stakes and purely just for fun during the holidays. Playing it for a few days wouldn’t even cover the cost of one pack of cigarettes.

In Quinston’s business circles, there was even a saying, “Decisions that impact the national economy are made at the Frost family’s poker tables.”

The stakes might be low, but the games were filled with intricate social maneuvers. Not just anyone could join those games; one needed to earn their spot.

Violeta nodded. “I see.”

Returning to the main topic, she asked, “So, do you guys want to play MLSS? Let’s build a team!”

Jasper responded, “Yeah, sure. By the way, there will be an esports tournament when the school starts. Vio, You love playing so much, it’d be a waste if you didn’t sign up.”

Chapter 155

Violeta’s lowered her gaze. “Esports tournament?”

She recalled vaguely seeing a pop-up ad for the tournament on the main page when she logged into the game, but it hadn’t caught her attention at the time.

In her previous life, such competitions were out of her reach. Violeta was too busy working multiple jobs to even think about entering tournaments. Thus, the idea of this competition left little impression on her back then.

Zoren chimed in, “The champion gets a boost from the official game platform and gets to shoot a live-action game MV.”

Violeta’s eyes widened in excitement.

After hearing Zoren’s words, Violeta suddenly remembered.

In her previous life, the lead female in that MV was Hattie.

Before Hattie debuted, she had gained online popularity as a self-proclaimed game addict girl.

Violeta realized the only decent player on the opposing team at her latest game was their Jungler, and she had overheard from the voice chat that it was Hattie herself.

She truly had some skills, but not enough to be unbeatable.

Violeta declared firmly, “I’m joining the tournament!”

This was an opportunity she wasn’t going to let slip by. If Hattie wanted it, Violeta wanted it even more.

Only a stronger one could obtain it, and Violeta had no intention of backing down.

Jasper said, “You’ll need a team. Do you have any teammates?”

Violeta paused. “Not really.”

She had a few friends; there were a few players from the national leaderboard she had teamed up with two years ago, but she hadn’t logged in for two years. They’d probably forgotten about her by now.

Zoren advised, “Then let’s form a team.”

Liam glanced at Zoren, “Are you joining too?”

Zoren shrugged. “I’m not interested in the tournament itself, but if Vio wants to join, I’ll help her out.”

With the four of them, they’d have a full team of five. It seemed perfect.

Jasper pointed out, “Hade can’t play. He’s a novice.”

Zoren suggested, “He can play support. I’ll be the Mage, Jas, you take the Marksman, Liam, you go as a Roamer, and Vio can play Jungler.”

Hayden squinted. “Who made you the boss?”

Jasper agreed, “Yeah, you even assigned roles to us. You’re so amazing.”

Liam added, “Your assignment doesn’t count.”

Zoren stammered, “Uh, well… Vio, what do you think?”

Violeta hesitated for a while before speaking, “If Hayden can’t play, we’d be carrying dead weight. How are we supposed to win with that?”

“Let’s discuss this when school starts. I need to get my rhythm back first.”

After speaking, she turned around and walked into the esports room holding her water cup, leaving behind a sense of resolve and determination.

The lounge fell silent.

“Pfft…”

Jasper couldn’t hold back his laughter, and soon the entire group erupted in a chorus of laughter.

“Hahahahaha! Hade got dissed by Vio! Hahaha, she called you a dead weight! Hahaha!”

Hayden’s cold gaze swept over them. “Is that so funny? Did I say I wanted to join?”

“It’s not funny at all. I just recalled other funny things, that’s all. Hade, just pretend I wasn’t laughing.”

Violeta returned to the esports room and saw another invite message pop up on the screen.

She walked over, placed her water cup down, and took a seat.

She accepted the invitation after putting on her headphones and activating the voice changer.

“What’s up? Ready to call me Daddy?”

Zelena’s voice came through, “We invited you to test your skills! Don’t get cocky, or you might lose your teeth!”

Violeta responded, “Let’s solo then. Have your best player face me. If I win, all three of you call me Daddy.”

“Can’t we skip the ‘Daddy’ thing?”

“Nope.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Don’t you see we all have premium skins?” Zelena hinted that they were rich women.

“So?” Violeta retorted. “Did you gild them with gold?”

This guy’s words are infuriating!

Hattie bit back her anger. If it weren’t for recruiting him to join in the tournament with them, she would have lashed out long ago.

Well, this is just an online game and we don’t even know each other. Even if we lost and called him Daddy, it won’t matter.

Hattie said, “We accept your terms but with one condition. If you win, you have to join our team for the college tournament. Your gaming region is Quinston. The same city as us.”

Violeta’s eyes twinkled with amusement, and she agreed readily, “Sure, sounds good.”

“Alright then, I’ll solo against you.”

They quickly set up a room for an intense solo match.

As Violeta expected, Hattie was skilled, but not skillful enough to win.

Violeta used her as a practice to get her rhythm back, playing on a 3v3 map.

Unsurprisingly, Violeta won.

“You lose in less than ten minutes. Wow, you’re that bad. With skills like yours, do you think you can compete? Tsk… Alright, call me Daddy.”

“You lost the game, now keep your promise.”

Violeta waited for them to call her “Daddy.”

She had turned on the recording application on her phone and waited for them.

Zelena hadn’t expected “I’m Your Sixth Uncle” to beat Hattie in a solo match.

Chapter 156

This was yet another demonstration of his impressive skills.

A single word, “Daddy”, was the price to recruit him into their team.

Although neither Hattie nor Zelena were particularly willing, the prospect of participating in the upcoming college tournament made them excited.

“Can we skip the ‘Daddy’ thing? I’ll pay you to join us.”

“No way.”

Violeta’s refusal was firm. “If you can’t afford to lose, don’t gamble.”

They were speechless.

Zelena clenched her teeth. “Fine. If we say it, you join the team.”

Violeta casually cleaned his ear. “Sure.”

After the other side agreed, Zelena and Hattie reluctantly mumbled, “Daddy,” in voices as quiet as a mosquito’s hum.

Though they spoke softly, Violeta was prepared. She had three speakers at max volume, ensuring her phone could record their voices clearly.

Once the recording was done, Violeta grinned.

Zelena stated, “We had a deal. You have to join us.”

Violeta turns off her voice changer in the background and speaks in her original voice. “Sorry, I’ve changed my mind. There’s a saying: birds of a feather flock together. Playing with trash like you only tarnishes my reputation for years.”

The three were dumbfounded.

Their opponent’s voice suddenly shifted from a deep male tone to a crisp female voice.

Zelena and her friends were stunned. What was going on? Why did his voice suddenly change into a woman’s voice?

Wasn’t he a guy?

Hattie stammered, “Y… -You’re not a guy?”

Casey added, “Wait a minute, why does her voice sound so familiar?”

A bad feeling crept over Zelena. “Is she … Violeta?”

Zelena was the first to recognize Violeta’s voice, and Violeta felt quite pleased.

She sneered, “Zelena, how was your summer holiday? I’m glad you remember Daddy’s voice. It makes me happy.”

Zelena turned speechless.

Boom!

Zelena was boiling with anger.

Hattie was equally shocked. “Violeta?! You pretended to be a man to trick us, you bitch!”

By now, it was too late for regrets.

Hattie was just as furious as Zelena.

They had hoped to recruit a valuable ally, only to be played by Violeta, and now they had even called her “Daddy”.

How could they ever face her at school again? Their reputations were ruined!

“Violeta, you’re the worst!”

Violeta laughed. “Oh, come on, don’t be like that. Just a moment ago, you were calling me ‘Daddy’ so shyly!”

Hattie was shaking with anger and outright denied it.

“I didn’t say it! You’re imagining things!”

Zelena retorted, “What proof do you have that we said it? Don’t accuse us without evidence!”

Violeta didn’t respond. Instead, she simply took out her phone and played the recording of them calling her “Daddy”.

“Daddy… Daddy… Daddy… Daddy…”

The voices of Zelena and Hattie echoed in an endless loop.

Kaboom!

The thunder roared louder outside, mirroring the chaos inside Zelena and Hattie’s hearts.

At this moment, they both wished they could strangle Violeta.

Violeta had tricked us and had our voices recorded?!

This sneaky little bitch!

Hattie roared angrily, “Delete that recording right now! Delete it!”

Violeta casually scratched her ear, ignoring Hattie’s demand.

“What? I can’t hear you. Bad signal After saying that, she exited the room and logged out of the game.

Oh, the sweet satisfaction!

Even without seeing Zelena and e

Hattie, she could vividly imagine their rage on the other side of the screens.

They must be gritting their teeth, losing sleep, and driven to the brink of madness…

It’s so entertaining!

As long as she had the recording, she could torment them whenever she wanted once school started.

The thrill was far better than winning dozens of ranked games in a row.

After Violeta left the game, Hattie tried to invite her back into the room, only to find Violeta’s avatar greyed out.

That little bitch had already logged off!

“Ahhhh!

“Violeta, you dared to play with me like this. I won’t let you get away with it!”

In her rage, Hattie swept everything off her desk to the floor.

Thunk! Crash!

The hatred between them was only getting deeper!

Hattie was furious. “Violeta, I’ll make sure you lose miserably in the college tournament!”

Meanwhile, at the Blake family…

Zelena leaped up from her chair, fuming.

It was impossible for her to guess that the guy earlier was Violeta!

Since when this bitch can change her voice?

No! She must be using a voice changer.

This realization made Zelena’s face flush with anger. She nearly smashed something in her fury but managed to hold herself back.

After all, she was at home. Destroying things would ruin her image in her parents’ eyes.

Chapter 157

She had spent so long creating the image of a good girl in front of Mr. Blake and Mrs. Blake. If it were to be ruined now, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

So Zelena endured and endured, almost causing herself internal injury from holding it in.

Well done, Violeta. Since she wants to use such dirty tricks to toy with me, then she shouldn’t blame me for giving a proper response!

A trace of viciousness flashed in Zelena’s eyes.

She immediately took out her phone and called the person she had contacted earlier.

After leaving the esports room, Violeta discussed the college competition with Jasper and the others.

They suggested teaming up to participate.

Violeta thought momentarily and asked, “Are you confident about winning?”

Jasper replied, “It’s just a college competition. What’s so difficult about that?”

Zoren said, “Yeah, Vio, do you look down on us?”

Violeta replied, “It’s not that I look down on you. I just haven’t noticed you at all.”

They were all stunned.

“You’re impressive.”

Violeta leaned back in her chair and said softly, “But now I have no other choice.”

As the college competition was about to begin, Violeta needed to find someone in her division who had good skills. It wasn’t going to be easy.

It might be better to team up with them. Then, they can spend some time getting to know each other.

Liam said, “Vio, rest assured, you can have confidence Violeta nodded. They thought Violeta had finally trusted them.

But unexpectedly, Violeta stood up and said, “I have great confidence in myself.

I’m sure I can lead you to victory. So, I’ll take the role of captain without hesitation.”

“Wow, you do seem quite confident.”

“Don’t trust me? Then let’s go They were at a loss for words.

Call ‘Daddy’ if you lose.

Whoever loses has to call the other ‘Daddy.”

They didn’t argue with Violeta.

“Alright, since you want to be the captain, go ahead.”

“Then let’s play some games tomorrow and see your skills.”

It rained all night.

Despite the rain, Violeta slept soundly.

Violeta woke up naturally and went downstairs to the smell of egg tarts, baked milk pies, and fruit pizza.

The servants had already brought down Zeus and Hera, and they were standing on metal racks.

Violeta walked over to the table.

Niall saw her coming down and gently asked, “Did you sleep well?”

Violeta stretched lazily, “I slept very well. How about you?”

“Yeah, it rained last night. Did the thunder wake you up?”

“No, I slept through it all.”

The servant brought her breakfast, and Violeta sat down to eat.

Before long, Hayden and the others also came down from upstairs.

“Morning.”

“Good morning.”

“Morning, Vio.”

They pulled out chairs and sat down together, eating breakfast.

Yesterday, Niall learned that they would participate in the college competition together.

So, he had the servant rearrange the esports room ahead of time, moving several computers from the guest bedroom into the esports room.

Zoren sipped milk and said, “It was restless all night yesterday, with constant rain and thunder. It made me quite uneasy.”

Jasper said, “If it’s like this here, I wonder how it is on the next island.”

Niall replied, “Don’t worry, if you want to leave the island, you take the Dawn.”

Zoren nodded and responded, “That’s true,”

On the next Island…

After Hattie got up, she noticed that the servants hadn’t prepared breakfast.

And the living room servants had all gone missing, so she angrily shouted.

Then, a servant came up sweating profusely from the cellar downstairs.

Hattie demanded, “What are you all doing? It’s early morning and breakfast isn’t prepared!”

The servant hurriedly said, “Miss Hattie, there was a heavy rainstorm last night, and the cellar is leaking. We’re trying to salvage the wine down there.”

Hattie was stunned for a moment.

“The cellar is leaking? How is that possible? How could rain get into the cellar?

Are you joking with me?”

At this moment, Benson came downstairs.

“What’s going on?”

“Benson, she told me the cellar on the basement floor is leaking.”

“Leaking?”

Benson strode over, preparing to go downstairs and take a look.

Hattie also followed, lifting her skirt and going down the stairs to see.

The servant followed behind them, and as the three descended the stairs, they saw the normally spacious cellar flooded with about ankle-deep water.

The water almost completely ruined the wine barrels placed on the ground. Once the wine was soaked in water, it couldn’t be drunk!

The servants were busy salvaging the bottles they could rescue from the shelves, placing them in buckets to carry out later.

Benson was shocked. “How did this happen?”

Hattie was even more surprised, “It’s leaking? Where did this water come from?

Underground?”

The servants were distressed, “Miss Hattie, Mr. Benson, when we came down this morning, it was already like this. That’s why we hurried to salvage. This has never happened before. We don’t know what’s going on.”

Benson furrowed his brow deeply. Groundwater seeping in can only mean that the soil structure or underground has loosened. Otherwise, water wouldn’t be able to soak through like this.

Chapter 158

What factors can cause the soil structure underground to become loose?

Before we built the wine cellar on the basement level, we had to apply a very tight waterproof coating.

The soil structure outside might have loosened if water can still seep in. A waterproof coating can temporarily prevent water, but not forever. It’s been several years since the island was renovated. Could it be time for a reevaluation?

Benson felt that something was amiss and quickly went upstairs to investigate what was happening.

Hattie stood on the steps with a look of disdain.

She hadn’t yet realized the seriousness of the situation and instructed the servants, “Hurry up! These wines are costly!”

Previously, Hannah often hosted guests from the circle on this island. The wines stored here are worth at least thousands of dollars, approaching millions.

After speaking, Hattie also turned and went upstairs.

It was early morning, and her mood was as bad as this weather.

After being on the island for over a month, it’s really annoying that the heavy rain decides to start now.

Encountering Violeta is never a good sign.

What a streak of bad luck!

With no servants to prepare breakfast, Hattie had to make do with some bread and milk she found in the refrigerator.

Then she sat on the sofa and browsed the internet on her phone.

Benson investigated upstairs, first looking into the previous situation on the island and then calling Hannah to verify.

Unfortunately, Hannah had already started filming and didn’t answer the phone.

Benson wasn’t a geography expert, but his intuition told him this island should be fine without such issues. There must be something wrong somewhere.

Could they not have done it properly during the previous renovation?

But even if it was a matter of incomplete renovation, it shouldn’t result in water leakage.

Benson glanced at the heavy rain outside, and a bad feeling crept over him. If it’s already leaking now, what will happen to this island if the downpour continues?

They didn’t have a yacht like the Dawn to escape the island!

Benson came downstairs, and when Hattie saw him, she asked in a relaxed tone, “Benson, what’s going on? Did you find out why there’s a leak?”

Hattie replied, “Okay.”

She quickly checked on her phone. “It’s going to continue for another week.”

“Another week?”

Benson’s heart sank at once.

Hattie sensed something was wrong with Benson’s tone and hurriedly asked, “Benson, what’s wrong?” Hattie sensed something was wrong with Benson’s tone.

Benson walked up and poured himself a glass of water. Then, he calmly said to her, “Hattie, what I’m about to tell you next is all speculation on my part. Please don’t get upset.”

“Yeah, tell me.”

“I suspect that this island is going to collapse.”

Hattie was shocked.

“What?”

Hattie was shocked, and she stood up from the sofa, exclaiming, “How can this be happening? It can’t be true. This is an island! It’s not like a tall building! How could it collapse?”

Benson knew she would react like this. He sighed helplessly, “I told you, it’s just my speculation. Why are you getting so worked up?

“You know this is an island, so what’s leaking in the basement?”

Hattie asked, “Seawater?”

Benson continued, “How could seawater leak into the basement? This indicates that the soil structure underground has completely loosened. The waterproof coating we applied before is no longer effective, so it leaks. If the underground is already leaking, it means that the geological structure of our island has changed completely, and collapse … is very likely to happen.”

Benson’s words left Hattie completely stunned.

“Benson …

“If the island collapses, then aren’t we… aren’t we…

“Aren’t we at risk of dying at any moment?!”

On the other side.

Violeta and the others finished breakfast and headed to the esports room to get acquainted.

Hayden realized it was too late to create a new registered account, so he spent several thousand dollars to buy a fully equipped account, then spent more money to delete all the records from the account and play with them.

“Hade, you don’t even understand the rules. Why don’t you go through the beginner training first?”

Hayden remained silent.

Violeta sequentially opened their game profiles and took a glance.

Zoren and the others were all pretty good. Although they didn’t have a lot of matches under their belts, their win rates with their commonly used belts, and heroes were all above 75%.

Jasper, like Violeta, was a hexagon warrior and proficient in every position.

Liam excelled at playing top lane, while Zoren preferred the mid lane.

They first allocated their positions, with Violeta in the jungle, Jasper as the marksman, Liam in the top lane, Zoren in the mid lane, and Hayden in the support role.

Hayden went to familiarize himself with the heroes.

Violeta and the other four opened a room to play a match.

Since he was playing the support position, Hayden familiarized himself with the abilities of every support herd once, then exited the training camp and checked Violeta’s profile.

Then he looked up some tutorials online, going through them all roughly. He almost remembered everything.

Chapter 159

But since Violeta and the others were still playing a match, Hayden decided to start a ranked game independently.

As he played more, Hayden found himself getting more and more comfortable. Initially, he didn’t know how to play, but the online tutorials were very detailed.

With quick thinking and skillful use of abilities, Hayden could accurately scout and protect the AD carry, ensuring they didn’t die a single time.

However, he found the support role not a very interesting match.

so he chose a different position for the second Two hours later, a servant came in carrying several drinks just as Violeta and the others finished a game.

Zoren stretched lazily. “Let’s take a break for a while. It’s been a long time, and we’re tired from playing.”

He picked up his drink and glanced in Hayden’s direction, noticing that Hayden’s screen was still in-game. Zoren got up and said, “Hade, you’re still practicing. How’s it going? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”

But as Zoren approached and took a closer look, he realized that Hayden wasn’t in the training camp but was playing a real game.

“Wow!

“You’re already playing real matches? Is this a normal match or ranked?” Hayden didn’t answer him. He was in a team fight and secured a quadra kill. Zoren watched Hayden secure the quadra kill and was extremely shocked!

“Hey, come over and see this! Hade just got a quadra kill! We’re pushing to the enemy high ground and the crystal.”

They all stood up and walked behind Hayden to watch the computer screen.

They looked, and indeed, it was a quadra kill.

“Damn, Hade, you’re amazing! When did you practice this? We had no idea.”

“Wait, weren’t you playing support? Wow, you’re playing marksman!”

Hayden unexpectedly began playing as a marksman as Hayden originally started practicing as a support, but unexpectedly, he began playing as a marksman as he continued playing.

‘Victory!’

Hayden stretched and took off his headphones. “Support is not fun. I don’t want to play support.”

Zoren interjected, “Well, how about this? We’ve just decided, and support is the only role left for you.”

Hayden narrowed his eyes slightly. “What are you going to play?”

Zoren replied, “Mid-lane, of course.”

Hayden continued asking, “Who’s playing marksman?”

Jasper answered, “It’s me.”

Hayden said, “Then Jasper goes mid-lane, I’ll play marksman, and you take support.”

Zoren paused for a moment, then said, “No, Hade, you can’t just swap roles like that. I’m not playing support. You can’t break the rules of the game. We already decided earlier. How can you do this? I don’t care! I’m not playing support.”

Hayden asked, “Do you have the final say?”

Zoren paused for a moment, then turned to look at Violeta sitting in the chair.

“Vio, who do you think should play support?”

Holding a cup, Violeta turned at the sound and said, “I don’t care how you’ve decided. I’m playing Jungler.”

Alright, Violeta didn’t care.

In that case, Hayden made the decision.

“You’re on support.”

Zoren shook his head adamantly.

“No, no, no!”

Seeing them argue back and forth, Liam proposed, “How about the worst player among us plays as a support?”

“Sounds fair.”

“I agree.”

They started a solo game.

Violeta went out to the bathroom and chatted with Niall for a while.

When she returned, the atmosphere in the esports room felt tense.

Closing the door behind her, Violeta/asked, “Aren’t you all soloing? Have you concluded?”

Liam responded, “Hade lost.”

They all remained silent.

Violeta blinked, finding it quite normal.

A lot of practical experience is necessary to win in MOBA games. Even the top experts can’t guarantee a 100% win rate.

Not to mention that Hayden had just started learning and had less than three hours of experience. Even if 2/3 won his solo game, Violeta wouldn’t feel comfortable giving him the marksman role.

After all, the opponents in the college competition were not inexperienced like Hayden.

“No problem, support is also good.

Support is our pioneer and top m supports are also hexagon warriors. Other lanes are not inferior.”

Zoren was quite happy and boldly said, “Actually, Hade’s mechanics are already pretty good, but he’s only been playing the game for a few hours. We can’t expect too much from him. So, Hade, the support role suits you perfectly.”

Hayden was speechless, but losing was losing, and he wasn’t someone who couldn’t accept defeat.

Therefore, they agreed on the role distribution.

The five started practicing together to prepare for the upcoming college competition matches.

At the same time.

The next island was in survival mode!

Hattie realized the seriousness of the situation through Benson’s words.

Their island was really in danger! It could collapse at any moment!

That’s really frightening!

Benson contacted relevant geological experts, while Hattie urgently contacted nearby yachts to see if they could evacuate them.

There were not just Hattie and Benson on the island, but also over twenty servants.

If the island collapsed, they couldn’t leave the servants behind, so they had to use the yachts to evacuate all of them.

But now, with strong winds and heavy rain outside, going out to sea involves significant risk. Who would be willing to sail in such conditions?

Hattie was extremely worried.

The crucial thing was that she couldn’t tell the servants yet, or they might be chaos.

Chapter 160

Just as Hattie was on the brink of panic, a servant rushed up from the wine cellar and said, “Miss Hattie, the water leak downstairs is getting worse. Do you know what happened?”

“Getting worse?”

After hearing this, Hattie’s heart skipped a beat.

Could my brother have been right all along?

She struggled to maintain her composure. “Have you moved all the wine upstairs?”

The servant nodded. “Almost everything is upstairs now.”

Hattie said, “Then you guys come up and rest for a while. I’m heading upstairs.”

After saying that, Hattie hurriedly ran upstairs to discuss the situation with Benson.

Benson finally contacted Hannah.

On the film set, Hannah heard the news and immediately sent someone to contact the real estate manager who had originally sold her the island.

After some interrogation, the truth came out: the island had been artificially expanded.

Hannah was deceived. She felt a surge of regret.

Since several years had passed, the real estate manager now showed his true colours and shrugged off the accusations. “Ms. Leid, how can you say I deceived you? The price for the island was already very low, with a 40% discount. You get what you pay for. I’m sure you understand that as an adult.”

Furious, Hannah retorted, “Just wait. I’m taking you to court!”

“That’s your right, Ms. Leid, but let me remind you, you won’t win,” the real estate manager replied.

Hannah was about to explode with anger and ended the call abruptly because she didn’t want to speak more with him. She dialed Benson with urgency. “Benson, you all need to leave the island immediately. I just found out from the real estate manager that the island was artificially filled in. We got scammed. With -the heavy rain causing leaks, your suspicions were spot on. The island might collapse. Get out now!”

Then, she quickly called Benson.

“Benson, hurry up! Leave the island! I just asked the real estate manager, and he informed me that the island had been artificially expanded! I was deceived. Now, it’s raining heavily on the sea and it’s already leaking. This shows that your guess is correct. The island might be sinking. You must go!”

Hannah’s findings matched with the information Benson had already learned from a geologist.

The island was in serious trouble.

He pinched the bridge of his/nose in frustration. “Mum, where can we go now?

“Hattie has already checked with the yachts, and no one is willing to sail in this weather.”

“What? Then what do we do?” Hannah started to panic.

Benson didn’t know what to do either. The ocean surface’s weather was highly unstable, and the weather forecasts said it would take another week.

The basement was already leaking, and if this continued, things would only get worse.

The geologist had warned him over the phone to leave the island as soon as possible. It was estimated that the island might collapse within a day, or at most, three days.

If it were possible, they would certainly want to leave immediately, but the problem was they couldn’t get away right now!

Were they supposed to take a tiny speedboat? That wouldn’t be enough to save their lives; a single wave could capsize such a small vessel, leaving it to vanish into the ocean.

Hannah lamented, “If we had known this earlier, you would have left with me!”

Just then, Hattie hurried upstairs and saw Benson on the phone with Hannah. She quickly stepped forward and said, “Mum, Liam is on the neighboring island.”

“Liam? Isn’t the neighboring island owned by the White family?” Hannah asked.

When she bought her island, she’d inquired about the neighboring properties, so she knew the owner was Niall White.

Benson commented, “Liam is vacationing there with Hayden and the others. They’re Niall’s friends.”

Hannah was silent for a moment.

“Benson, Hattie, don’t worry. I’ll contact them and ask them to come and help you.”

Hannah hung up the call and urgently contacted Carl Ridge.

Carl was the head of the Ridge family. He was also Benson and Hattie’s biological father.

After hearing about the situation, Carl wasted no time. He immediately called Anton.

Given the life-threatening circumstances and the families’ past ties, Anton quickly contacted Niall.

After a series of calls, Niall’s phone finally connected.

“Hello, Dad?”

Upon hearing Anton’s words, Niall got up from his seat.

“Got it, I’ll handle it.”

He hung up and instructed his crew to take the White Sunset to the neighboring island to pick up Hattie and Benson.

Once everything was set in motion, Niall walked into the esports room, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open.

“Guys get ready We’re expecting two guests.”

“Who?”

“Your younger brother and sister, Liam.”

Liam was taken aback. “What?”

Niall explained what happened just now.

“Their father called my father directly. We have to help them.”

Violeta asked, “Have they been picked up yet?”

Niall nodded. “Yes, the White Sunset is on its way. It should only take about half an hour for the round trip.”

Zoren talked to himself, “So our earlier predictions turned out to be true. Their island is sinking.”

Jasper let out a short laugh. “Imagine that, coming for a vacation and the island starts sinking. This could be an intriguing addition to their personal experience. After all these years without any issues, they stay for a month and everything falls apart. Talk about bad luck.”
