Xyla immediately looked at her phone. When she saw Adler Finley’s name, she immediately picked up the call. “Mr. Finley, I didn’t think you’d have time to give me a call,” she said.
“Didn’t you mention that you want to buy over my team? I’ve decided to sell it to you…” Adler said.
Indeed, Xyla really did want to buy Team EW from him, and he also mentioned wanting to sell it. However, afterward, he changed his mind, and the trade never occurred. At first, Xyla thought this was done and dusted. She didn’t expect him to call her out of the blue today.
“Sure… How much are you offering to sell it for? Are we still going with the price we decided on previously?” Xyla asked.
“Hmm… Let’s meet up tonight. We’ll sign the contract then,” Adler said.
“Sure.” Xyla snapped her fingers.
Recently, Xyla heard that the company Adler invested in wasn’t doing very well, and he had lost money because of that. Perhaps, that was why he was willing to sell his beloved team.
Team EW was one of the top five League of Legends teams in the competition. They made it into the world finals three times in the past.
Two of those times, they were in the top eight and top sixteen teams, respectively.
Once Xyla took over, she would only have to put in a little more effort, and she was certain that she would be able to place them in a top-notch position. By then, she would be able to endorse them using Quest Group’s credentials. That would certainly boost Quest Group’s brand presence.
Just after Xyla hung up the phone, it started ringing again.
She was overjoyed when she saw that the call was from Stanley.
“Isn’t this supposed to be the busiest time of the day for you? How are you able to call me?” Xyla asked.
“It doesn’t matter how busy I get. I will never forget about my darling,” Stanley said.
Xyla’s smile widened. “Why are you calling?” She asked.
“I wanted to ask what time you’re getting off work tonight,” Stanley said.
“Around five,” Xyla answered.
“Okay. I’ll pick you up,” Stanley said.
“No, l have something planned in the evening. I have good news for you, by the way,” Xyla replied.
“Do tell.”
“Remember I told you that a friend of mine wanted to sell me a League of Legends team? We just decided on it earlier, and we’ll be signing the contract tonight. Do you know about Team EW?” Xyla said.
“Yeah, I do,” Stanley answered.
Xyla chuckled. “Apart from the top-lane player, everyone else in the team is fantastic. I just need to find a strong top-lane player to replace the existing one. I’m certain they are going to perform very well, and they might even end up winning the world champion this year,” she said.
“Didn’t you like Alex?” Stanley chuckled.
Xyla shook her head. “I do like him, but Team IM would never let me have him.”
“Leave that to me,” Stanley said.
“Do you have a way to make it happen?” Xyla asked joyfully.
“Do you know who owns Team IM?” Stanley asked.
“No,” Xyla answered.
Apart from certain famous individuals, most owners of these League of Legends teams remain fairly hidden from view, and they preferred staying out of the public’s eye.
This was especially the case for Team IM’s boss. Most people outside this immediate circle had no clue about who he was.
“Henry Armstrong…” Stanley said.
Xyla was shocked when he heard Henry’s name. It certainly was a small world.
She was surprised that the team she liked, Team IM, actually belonged to her husband’s good friend, Henry. In that case, was the person who claimed to be IM’s boss and tried to convince her to join his team, Henry?
“I can’t believe it’s him. Even if that’s the case, would he be willing to give me such a good player?” Xyla asked.
“Yes…” Stanley said.
“Wouldn’t I have to pay a huge price for it?” Xyla asked.
