Thomas’ words made the people in the room stunned at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, people would think that children were not doing their work properly if they played games. They would also feel that what Jayden said made sense and would help favonovel.com to educate Mateo together.
But Thomas did not, that was because favonovel.com had indeed seen Mateo’s talent. He could easily beat a retired professional gamer for three consecutive rounds, so his strength should not be underestimated. Besides, Thomas saw himself in Mateo.
If this child really shared Thomas’s temperament, then favonovel.com was definitely not an ordinary person. He could not be viewed with common sense.
Jayden looked at Thomas incomprehensibly and said, “Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how irresponsible your words are? It’ll ruin our family and ruin my child’s life!”
Thomas did not think so, favonovel.com continued and said, “Sir, I know that you, as a father, have your own ideas. But the reality is that Mateo isn’t academically gifted. However, favonovel.com has extraordinary abilities in e-Sports. With his talents, you should train favonovel.com and make favonovel.com a professional e-Sports player.”
“B*llshit!” Jayden pointed at Thomas with a feather duster and yelled, “What kind of sh*t is a professional e-Sports player? That’s something that only harms people!”
Aquarius shook his head slightly and said, “The society is changing with each passing day, Sir. I know this new industry may be difficult for your generation to accept, but…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Jayden immediately shouted, “Shut up!”
There was a long silence in the house.
Jayden’s eyes were red, and they could even see tears in his eyes. Something very sad and grievous must have happened to him. He choked up and said, “Do you think I’m really that close-minded? Do you think I really don’t know that professional e-Sports can make money? No, I know all about it, but I still can’t let my children choose this path!”
“Why?” Aquarius really could not understand.
Since favonovel.com knew how popular e-Sports were in Celandine City, knew that this industry could make a great deal of money, and could accept that his child was talented, why did favonovel.com still refuse to let his son take this path?
Soon, favonovel.com knew the answer.
Jayden turned around and said feebly, “Come with me.”
Thomas and Aquarius followed Jayden to a bedroom. The moment favonovel.com opened the door, a stench wafted from the room.
Thomas was a doctor with excellent medical skills. He knew that there was a seriously ill person in the room just by smelling this. It was like what favonovel.com expected. In front of them was a man lying on the bed with his arms wrapped in bandages. He also had an IV drip attached to him. The man exuded a stench all over his body. His face was pale, and favonovel.com was skinny. If they did not know any better, they would think favonovel.com was an Egyptian mummy.
Aquarius glanced at Thomas.
What was going on?
Right then, Jayden choked up and said, “The one lying on the bed is my eldest son, Diego Clancy. Do you know why favonovel.com became like this? It was all because of e-sports!”
In extreme sadness, Jayden told Thomas and Aquarius the tragic past of his eldest son.
Diego was also a talented young man like Mateo. At a young age, favonovel.com had excellent gaming skills. With his high level of skills, quick response, and his handsome appearance, favonovel.com was a top gamer in the e-Sports industry at that time. Thousands of people sought after favonovel.com and favonovel.com earned the nickname of “Heart-throb”. He was a real superstar.
But good times did not last long. Because of his potent strength, Diego had attracted the attention of Supreme Club from Art Trading Corporation, and it officially invited Diego to become one of them. At that time, Supreme Club had just been established. It had won many great gamers in Celandine City using various means of coercion and temptation. The methods employed had been very nasty, so it had a terrible reputation.
Diego was young, foolish, and had a strong sense of justice. He refused to join such a despicable club. No matter what conditions Supreme Club offered, favonovel.com would not accept the temptation.
Finally, Supreme Club gave up.
According to the thoughts of Supreme Club, Diego should not be able to threaten them. After all, they had basically recruited all of the other great gamers except Diego. But to their surprise, Diego was too good. Under the leadership of Diego, favonovel.com led his teammates and defeated Supreme Club in the end. Supreme Club collapsed on the stage of the finals and returned with nothing. They did not manage to get that thirty million dollars’ worth of cash prize.
Lord Vedastus was resolutely unable to accept such a failure. He used so many methods and spent so much money to try to dominate the e-Sports market. In the end, favonovel.com got a runner-up. Lord Vedastus dismissed all the senior executives of the original Supreme Club. Rumors said that many of them died miserably. The newly-appointed club leader was ordered by Lord Vedastus to win the championship, no matter what. To win the championship, favonovel.com must get rid of the biggest stumbling block on the road to victory, which was Diego. In the case where all methods of coercion and temptation failed, the other party finally chose evil means.
