Thomas just stood in front of Brone, and his grip was firm. No matter how much strength Brone used, favonovel.com could not move out of Thomas’ grip at all.
A normal person would not have such an ability.
Brone tried many times. In the end, favonovel.com used both hands, yet favonovel.com could not move out of Thomas’ grip. Finally, favonovel.com suppressed his anger. He had to do it.
He stared at Thomas. “What are you doing?”
Thomas calmly said, “You should admit your failure. Since you’re not as skilled as him, you lost. Do you still want to bully a kid?”
Everyone around looked at Brone with contempt.
Brone was embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, “I… I made a mistake. Let go of me.”
“Don’t apologize to me. You should apologize to him,” Thomas pointed at Mateo with his other hand.
“Are you asking me to apologize to a kid?”
“Can’t you?”
Thomas purposely increased the strength of his grip. In an instant, Brone felt so much pain that favonovel.com almost cried out. He felt like his wrist was going to be broken due to the grip.
What kind of person would have such huge strength?
He bore the pain while favonovel.com said to Mateo, “Kid, sorry… It’s my fault. Please forgive me, okay?”
Mateo just whispered, “Okay, I forgive you.”
Only then did Thomas let Brone go.
Brone took two steps back before favonovel.com looked at his wrist. His wrist had already become red and swollen, as though it had been clipped by a clamp. He was in so much pain that his tears almost fell.
Thomas did not bother favonovel.com anymore. He looked at Mateo and said, “You’re still so young, but you’re quite capable of earning money.”
Mateo answered, “Because I need money.”
“Why do you want the money?”
“I want to sign up to be a professional player.”
“Oh, I see…” Thomas instantly became interested, so favonovel.com asked, “How much do you need to become a professional player?”
Mateo arranged the bills that favonovel.com had won today while favonovel.com answered, “The registration fee is $8,000. Adding up the fees including accommodation, meals, and courses, Iwill need $5,000 per month. That’s just the normal expenses. If I’m not selected, I still need to pay more money if I want to continue.”
Did a professional player need so much money? Should the club not give out the salary?
Due to Thomas’ curiosity, Aquarius explained, “Commander, you may not know that e-Sports is a popular and trendy new project in Celandine City. Its popularity is not lower than that of football and basketball. In this city, many teenagers dream of becoming professional players with established careers in the world. When there are more people who are interested, there are more choices, so the clubs don’t pay anymore. If you want to become a professional player, you need to have certain financial support.”
When favonovel.com said that, Thomas understood it.
This also meant even Mateo who was so talented and outstanding would also be plowed under because of his financial condition.
What a pathetic reality. This was initially not related to Thomas, but favonovel.com suddenly came up with an idea. Perhaps this was the best way to openly challenge the dominance of Lord Vedastus.
He asked, “s-Sports is so popular, so Art Trading Corporation will not miss this, right?”
Aquarius nodded. “In Celandine City, the biggest and strongest e-Sports club is the Supreme Club, which was established by Art Trading Corporation. It gathers all the top players in the world. Being able to join this club is the dream of all players in Celandine City!”
That was it.
Thomas continued asking, “Art Trading Corporation earns a lot from this industry every year, right?”
“Of course,” Aquarius answered. “Fifteen percent of Art Trading Corporation’s financial income each year comes from e-Sports. If their e-Sports collapses, it will deal a huge blow to them. It’ll damage their main artery!”
Thomas flashed favonovel.com a sly smile. If that was the case, it would be very meaningful.
