Chapter 216
As Samantha said, Harper told the manager of Team King and the organizers very strongly. If they require an explanation, they should come here first.
Both of them agreed to arrive within half an hour.
For this reason, Samantha deliberately changed to a larger private room. Instead of serving dishes, she ordered some tea
and desserts.
However, when the people of Team King and the organizers arrived one after another, they didn’t expect it.
Team Gorgeous was so bold that they invited all of them here.
They were really caught off guard.
The three parties gathered in the private room, and the atmosphere was a little tense..
The seven members of Team Gorgeous were all there, but neither Team King nor the organizer knew that these were all the members of Team Gorgeous
Team King came with three men, namely their manager, their ADC player Wade, and their coach.
The organizer only sent two delegates.
One was an investor manager, Devan, with speaking rights and the other was his assistant.
There were twelve people in a private room. Although the private room was large and not crowded at all, the atmosphere
was very tense.
Except for the greetings at the beginning, no one spoke.
After a while, Devan seemed to be unable to help but spoke first.
“Who’s the manager of the Team Gorgeous?”
He said in an arrogant tone.
It meant that the five people in front of him were going to attend matches, not the person in charge.
If it was not the person in charge, didn’t deserve to talk to him.
Devan didn’t want to talk nonsense.
After all, he had promised to come here in person today for the sake of Team Gorgeous.
If they hadn’t let the person who was in charge of Team Gorgeous talk to him, Devan would have decided not to continue.
After all, in the eyes of these capitalists, e–sports players were actually working for them.
It was no different from the employees who worked in their company.
However, as soon as Devan finished his words, Team Gorgeous looked at Samantha secretly.
It seemed to be waiting for her instructions.
Samantha glanced at Lionel slowly with a deep look.

Lionel immediately understood what Samantha meant.
“Did Samantha want me to be in charge? thought Lionel
Lionel was a little afraid of the organizer of Heroes of Kings.
Luckily, he had spent much time socializing as the President of the school club.
So he could handle this kind of situation.
After all, he didn’t want to embarrass Samantha in his heart.
He also wanted to contribute to get justice for his team.
At this time, Lionel cleared his throat and said seriously.
I’m Lionel Billion, the person in charge of the Team Gorgeous Hello, Mr. Fischer
Lionel sat straight and looked indifferent.
Devan glanced at Lionel with a slightly polite attitude.

“Mr. Billion, the public opinion event this time can be said to be very bad. Five minutes ago, our app Heroes of Kings broke down and there are too many people accessing it. Not only the e–sports world is paying attention to this matter, but also many outsiders require us to explain. Our investors invested so much money in the Heroes of Kings Competition didn’t come here to get a bad reputation. So, I came here today to ask for an explanation.”
It turned out that Devan was just a little better at the beginning, and his tone became worse later.
His words were not polite.
Lionel smiled calmly.
They
“We can understand your considerations and concerns, But with all due respect, I have to say that the whole thing is a disaster for Team Gorgeous. We are also victims and want an explanation.”
Lionel said in a soft tone.
But
every word was clear.
It made people unable to ignore it for no reason.
Devan’s heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously asked. “What do you mean?”
“Just take it literally. Team Gorgeous is on a tight budget. How can we have the money to bribe Team King?” Lionel said with
a smile, “Mr. Horton, you’re the manager of Team King. So you know this, right?”
Conner managed a wry smile as he was a bit embarrassed.
Originally, Conner just wanted to watch the battle and didn’t want to participate in it, but he was suddenly involved.
And it was still such an awkward topic, which forced him to speak directly.
This public opinion was more beneficial than harmful to Team King
Although the outside was also scolding Team King for fighting a false game…
But most of the fans were more concerned about the members of Team King and scolded the management for being Unconscionable

Fans just scolded them, but felt sorry for the members of Team King and asked Team Gorgeous to quit.
The benefits were invaluable.
Originally, they had lost the game and worried about the consequences.
Conner was afraid that Team King couldn’t even go to the world game this time, which was the worst result under his leadership.
This year’s investment would also be worthless.
Unexpectedly, things turned the table.
After losing the game, it came as such a big surprise.
As a shopping mall, Conner knew that sometimes it didn’t matter whether it was true or not.
What mattered was what everyone thought of it.
And how much benefit he could get from it.
In just a minute. Conner’s mind had thought about it too much,
He pursed his lips and said in a calm tone.
“Team King also wants an explanation. Getting involved in public opinion for no reason would cause great damage to us. As
a team with six or seven years of history, we don’t want our reputation to be destroyed.”
He just said that he wanted an explanation.
But he didn’t mention whether he had been bribed or not.
This was the wisdom of Conner.
However, Lionel was not simple.
He looked at the message Samantha sent him on his phone and then raised his head.
He stared straight at Conner.
Then he asked directly.
“Mr. Horton, I just want to ask you one question.
“Have Team King received any bribes from Team Gorgeous?”
It was a very straightforward question.
It made the atmosphere in the private room tenser and colder.
Even Wade, who had always said little, raised his head to look at Lionel and Conner. He mumbled but didn’t speak. Then he lowered his head and continued to keep silent.
Seeing that Conner didn’t speak, Lionel was a little impatient.
He pulled his collar and said in an irritable tone, “Mr. Horton, is it difficult for you to say just yes or no?!”
Conner was a little embarrassed. Devan looked at him several times

Under such pressure, Conner had to whisper, “No.”
I said no, but that doesn’t mean Team Gorgeous didn’t offer the
