Chapter 391: The Happiest Day

Jared was with lan Brookes and Jack.

"Mr. Farrell, | heard that your company has been following the Clearwater Mining project," Jack asked.

Jared didn't hide anything and added a slice of strawberry cake to his plate. "Yes, | heard there's a high-quality

mine. I'm interested."

Jack looked at the slice of strawberry cake. "Someone will deliver the contract later. As for the details, your

company will decide... So, Mr. Farrell, do you like strawberry cake?" "Tina likes it," Jared smiled. "Thanks to Mr.

Brookes for the mine."

"No need to thank me. We've done background checks on many companies, and only you can handle such a big

project."

Jack shifted his gaze away, wondering how someone like Jared could like strawberry cake.

Everyone sat back down at the table, which was filled with various dishes.

"Young lady, eat more. Look how thin you are," lan Brookes kept serving Tina food, afraid she wouldn't eat

enough.

Tina was fearless. "I never deprive myself."

"Yes, don't let your stomach suffer. Eating is for yourself, so eat more."

"You should eat too." Tina smiled and served lan Brookes a dish.

Jack felt a twinge of sourness in his nose. After all these years, it was the first the had seen his father laugh

so heartily.

Under the table, Scarlett held Jack's hand silently, comforting him without words.

They all knew that Tina's appearance had given lan Brookes hope.

Whether it was true or not, they were sincerely grateful for Tina's presence.

After the meal, Tina politely declined lan Brookes' offer to personally drive them hand chose to walk back

with Jared instead.

lan Brookes watched their figures and his eyes becmoist.

If Alina were still here, she would be a mother by now and would have a daughter this age.

And he would hold his granddaughter in his hands and take good care of her.

"Dad, let's go htoo." Scarlett supported lan Brookes and helped him into the car.

lan Brookes wiped his eyes. "Jack, keep investigating. | have a feeling that Tina carries a trace of Alina with her."

The moonlight was dark as ink, scattered amidst the dim yellow light of street lamps, drowning in the hustle and

bustle of traffic.

On the side of the road, Jared held Tina's hand as they strolled along the street.

Her long hair fluttered in the breeze, lightly resting on Jared's shoulder.

"Uncle, | had a great dinner tonight," Tina suddenly spoke up, her head slightly lowered as she chuckled softly,

concealing her joyous mood.

Jared stroked Tina's hair gently. "Hmm, | had a great ttoo."

When Tina is happy, he is happy too.

Tina hopped onto the steps by the roadside and walked steadily with her arms spread out.

It seemed like she hadn't felt so relaxed and at ease in a long time.

So relaxed that she let go of the serious and cold shell that had enveloped her for so long.

How long has it been?

Probably ten years?

Since her mother passed away, she never dared to relax for a moment.

But now, she felt comfortable.

Jared walked beside her and looked up at the sparkling stars above them.

On a large screen by the street, there was a live broadcast of two matches at Century Cyber Esports Hotel - one

between Country R and Country H for qualification rounds. When they scanned over the audience seats,

Lysander and Orson were sitting there, their eyes fixed on the screens.

"Uncle, do you want to face Country R or Country H?" Tina suddenly stopped walking.

Jared jumped up onto the steps and wrapped his arm around Tina's waist. "Country R. They are Orson's second

archrival after you guys."

"Alright then, I'll face Country H. See you in the finals."

Tina also had this idea. After all, Country R had already lost once; it wouldn't be interesting to fight them again.

Jared lifted Tina's chin and asked softly, "What should we wager?"

Tina thought for a moment. Uncle's money is her money; she doesn't need to bet anything else.

"Let's bet that whoever loses will clean the training room for the other team for a week."

Jared twitched his mouth; this little girl knows how to make bets. She knows very well that even if she loses, he

would never let her actually clean the training room. "What? Afraid of losing?" Tina raised an eyebrow with a hint

of mischief in her eyes.

Jared flicked Tina's nose. "Alright then, I'll bet on this with you."

Tina smirked. "Uncle, you're already destined to lose."

The qualifying rounds ended and four teams advanced to the group stage: Hawk, Snake, Country R's RED team,

and Country H's FAI team.

Originally considered unpopular due to their seven consecutive losses in previous matches that disappointed

their fans deeply, Hawk unexpectedly broke through strong opponents during the qualifying rounds and defeated

RED team with an impressive performance that garnered applause from all sides. Their popularity soared back to

its peak once again.

The group stage was set as predicted by Tina and Jared: Hawk against FAI and Snake against RED team.

Edward Sullivan and others worried upon seeing this grouping.

FAI was last year's champion and consisted of young players with excellent teamwork and lightning-fast reflexes.

They secured their spot in the group stage with an impressive 0-35 record during qualifying rounds. They were

definitely strong contenders aiming for another championship title.

The pre-match briefing was held for all participants as an attempt by the organizers to ease tension before

matches. After all, there had been incidents of fights breaking out before matches in previous tournaments

despite both teams being penalized afterward. However, this tthey wanted to maintain an atmosphere of

harmony before matches began.

Hawk and Snake surprisingly showed unity during this briefing session when facing each other outwardly.

The H-country players seemed to be taunting Lysander without knowing what they were saying; they just wore

provocative expressions while looking at him.

Orson kicked a stool underfoot. "Stop babbling nonsense! Let actions speak on the battlefield! Don't understand?

Can't understand? Need a translator? Sorry but we can't afford one! Letlend you one!"

The players from Country R wore equally grim expressions as they stared back at Orson.

Lysander opened a bottle of cola with full force towards them. "Oh sorry! Didn't see you had your eyes closed!

Thought you were sleeping and wanted to wake you up!"

If it were someone else causing trouble during such an event, they would surely be reprimanded by the

organizers. But these two young masters were untouchable; all they could do was quickly say a few words to end

this tense atmosphere during the briefing session.

After leaving the venue, Orson bumped shoulders with Lysander. "Don't be useless! If we can't make it to finals...

I'll despise you forever."

Lysander didn't back down either. "If you lose to my second-rate subordinates... then roll out of esports forever!"

The match officially began with Hawk taking the lead. Lysander performed steadily and easily secured first blood.

FAI wasn't far behind; they quickly took down two kills.

Leon becanxious after being solo killed but Edward Sullivan stepped forward to stop him. "Remember what

Tina said: don't rush it. The opponents focus on operations; we need steady development."

Leon calmed down; meanwhile Lysander cleared their jungle area directly which frustrated their opponents.
