Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Emmitt, with his silver hair and a haughty attitude, glanced at David sitting on the sofa. His eyes were filled with contempt, as if he were looking at a weakling, displaying a sense of arrogance.

Following Emmitt, the other four team members also entered, their gazes drifting towards David, curious to see what kind of skill he had to challenge Emmitt.

“So, you’re the one who wants to compete with me?” Emmitt looked down at David with his chin raised high.

“David, why are his nostrils so big? It looks like there’s something inside. Is that a booger?” Brian blinked his big eyes and looked at Emmitt with a cute, surprised expression.

In an instant, as Brian spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on Emmitt.

Emmitt’s eyelids twitched, his face showing signs of anger as he glared at Brian.

“Well, Brian is very smart. Didn’t miss it!” David ruffled Brian’s head, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. With a cold aura emanating from him, he glanced at the arrogant Emmitt.

“It’s me,” David said.

“Cut the crap. I play Attack Damage. What position do you play?” Emmitt asked disdainfully.

David lazily lifted his head, appearing to think it over before replying, “I can play a bit of everything. I’m decent all around.”

To the others, David’s response seemed like he was admitting to being a jack–of–all–trades but master of none, which only made Emmitt look at him with more disdain.

“Then make a decision quickly. My time is valuable,” Emmitt said impatiently, confident that David would be easy to defeat. “Alright,” David replied indifferently, unbothered by Emmitt’s scorn.

The small meeting room had computers ready for use. The two of them sat facing each other and quickly chose their characters.

David casually selected a Mage, making the onlookers snicker, convinced he didn’t know what he was doing.

Emmitt sneered and locked in an Attack Damage Mage.

As Emmitt began farming for gold, David moved around leisurely in his area. The other team members glanced at David and then looked away, thinking him foolish for not farming gold.

Brian sat obediently next to David, his chubby hands typing a message to Audrey on his phone, occasionally looking up at David. Suddenly, a few gasps were heard from the other side.

Emmitt had spotted David hiding in the bushes and blinked in, intending to take him down in one swift combo.

But David had intentionally positioned himself to be seen, and as Emmitt blinked in, David countered with his own blink, avoiding all damage.

-Emmitt’s lips tightened, and he glared coldly at David, saying, “Hmph, beginner’s luck. My farm is much better than yours. There’s no way you can counterkill me…”

Before Emmitt could finish, his screen went dark. His hand froze on the mouse.

The room fell silent until Brian exclaimed, “Wow! I knew David was the best!”

“Sorry, I counterkilled you,” David said with a smile, ignoring Emmitt’s darkened expression. The other team members were equally stunned.

How was it possible? David’s Mage hadn’t even farmed much gold. How could he counterkill Emmitt?

“That was just luck. You won’t win the next round,” Emmitt snarled, determined.

In the second round, Emmitt played aggressively.

Meanwhile, David continued to move slowly, occasionally farming gold and meandering around, seemingly unconcerned.

But when David made a sudden move towards the top, everyone was surprised.

A team member exclaimed softly, “He’s crazy. Does he know what Emmitt’s equipment is now? He’s running up!”

“He’s doomed. He’s definitely going to die this time!” said another member.

Emmitt noticed David’s figure and looked disdainful. He glanced at his equipment, waiting for David to come and seek his own demise.

The next moment, David casually retracted his aura and swiftly lunged forward.

Emmitt was waiting for the moment David entered the scene, preparing to unleash his ultimate move to obliterate him. In that same instant, David casually activated his Cleanse ability. Emmitt’s ultimate move didn’t hit David. Instead, David, with an extremely cunning angle of displacement, swiftly closed in and executed a rapid combo to defeat Emmitt.

When the screen went black, Emmitt still hadn’t recovered.

The opponent’s speed was simply too fast for him to react. At that moment, he finally saw that the opponent, playing a Mage, was actually an assassin.

If the first time was considered luck for David, the second time couldn’t be attributed to luck alone.

However, losing two games in a row made Emmitt, who was praised as the best player around, look quite grim.

Even the coach on the sidelines had a dark expression.

The other team members, at this moment, were no longer looking at David as if he were a fool. Instead, they were staring at him with shock.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Emmitt’s Attack Damage ranked among the top in the entire player rankings, but David was even more formidable than Emmitt. The crowd was somewhat stunned.

The few of them could not help but think of what the young man had said before.

It turned out that David wasn’t bragging, nor did he not know how to play. He could handle any Mage easily.

The entire small reception room was silent until a cold voice suddenly said, “It’s quite lively here,”

It drew everyone’s attention to the doorway. Brian’s eyes lit up, and he jumped off the sofa, running towards the speaker. “Audrey, you’re so slow. They were bullying me and David,” Brian said.

Audrey patted Brian’s head lightly, her cold gaze lifting slightly as she glanced around the reception room. Finally, her eyes settled on Cade.

Under Audrey’s icy stare, Cade immediately felt a chill down his spine. He swiftly stood up from his chair. shaking his head and waving his hands.

“No, Audrey. I didn’t bully Brian and David. It’s not me,” Cade explained.

Audrey shot him a sharp glance.

Cade dared not look at her, thinking that Dylan hadn’t won Audrey over.

“You want to participate in the competition?” Audrey asked.

Audrey approached David and glanced at the game screen.

“No, I need to prepare for the SAT,” David replied, his cold demeanor was gone, and he was as obedient as a puppy in Audrey’s presence.

Cade looked at David and thought that if Dylan couldn’t catch Audrey’s heart, he might have to learn from David and turn into a puppy.
