”Why did the owner of Team RS and the well-known gaming anchorman, Amigo, apologize to Xyla Quest?”
Xyla Quest totally did not expect their little conflict to make headlines. She opened the article without hesitation.
“A few minutes ago, Team RS’s official Instagram page had expressed their apologies to Xyla Quest. They had reflected on their misbehavior to look down on Xyla Quest’s gaming skills. Besides, Amigo, the famous gaming anchorman, had also uploaded a similar post. Likewise, he apologized for being condescending toward Xyla, and he even addressed Xyla as ‘daddy’. The bizarre events that took place simultaneously had attracted the attention of countless gamers in no time.”
“Shortly after the two posts, a player revealed the truth behind their sudden apologies at ESPN, a sports commentary and news platform. According to him, Xyla mentioned that she was good at video games but was despised by the Team RS’s boss and Amigo. To prove herself, the three of them went to a nearby cyber café and made a deal: If the two men lost to her in two solo games, they had to apologize to her publicly on Instagram. Undoubtedly, they were both defeated by Xyla despite being two of the strongest national players.”
Moreover, several images of her playing games with Amigo and Hugo Clive at the cyber café were attached below the article. As a result, the comment section exploded with agitation again.
Numerous netizens were commenting ‘????’, apparently dumbfounded by the news. Some of them were praising her, and scolding Amigo and the owner of Team RS at the same time.
Xyla briefly went through the comments before switching to Instagram. As expected, her name was on the trending list. It was not just one.
The top of the list showed #Xyla Quest’s Gaming Skills#. Right below that was #Xyla Quest Rocks#.
Xyla opened the two of them, one after the other. The two topics were both filled with scoops from various entertainment accounts. The contents of the scoops were exactly the same as the article she had just read. The only difference was that the entertainment accounts had attached a video of Amigo, Hugo and her in their posts.
Unsurprisingly, those two topics had gone haywire on the internet. The onlookers were enjoying the drama whereas the gamers were making fun of the two men.
“It’s such a shame that Team RS has a boss like him. Can you stop bringing disgrace on the whole team?”
“Damn… Look at the way Xyla played in the video. It’s giving me goosebumps! Are Amigo and that boss dumb?”
“Those two idiots have just made a fool out of themselves. Speaking of which, Xyla is really something, eh? It’s a pity that she didn’t become a professional gamer.”
“I can imagine her being the world’s top ADC player in the future. She’s so cool!!!”
“Xyla, you rock!!! You’re on fleek! Has Xyla ever thought of trying out acting? She’s definitely the best actress for a gaming drama!”
Xyla quickly scrolled through the comment sections before leading the team into the elevator.
Right at that moment, the boys saw the hot topics about Xyla on their phones too.
Alex immediately waggled his phone in front of Xyla. “Boss, you’re on the trending list, and there are two trending topics about you. Everyone’ s praising you.”
Xyla gave an indifferent shrug. “Yeah, I saw that.”
“How do you manage to stay so unperturbed when everyone else is astounded by your performance? I’m really impressed,” said Simon.
“Boss, are you sure you don’t want to become one of us? You’re really talented.”
Intense adoration was reflected in the boys’ eyes.
Xyla shook her head helplessly. “Stop joking, guys. I have loads of work waiting for me everyday. How am I going to be a professional gamer?”
