Chapter 341


    Pearl was about to introduce Felix as her cousin, but the next second, Felix started introducing himself,


    “I’m not a troublemaker. I am Felix, captain of FX E-Sports, the top-ranked e-sports club in the


    country.”


    “Oh, sc you’re the eldest son of the Jordan family, the e-sports enthusiast.” Richard’s expression


    brightened upon hearing the Jordan surname.


    “Yes, that’s right,” Felix said proudly.


    “So, you came to find me this time because you want to recruit me into your team? Let me make it


    clear beforehand, I don’t have the time to stay long-term in your club, nor am I interested in e-sports.”


    Pearl gazed at Felix’s handsome but somewhat childish face and couldn’t help but feel like something


    was missing in his brain.


    Good-looking? Undoubtedly. Perhaps some intelligence went into exchange for that.


    Although Felix appeared disappointed, Pearl remained firm, and he understood he couldn’t force her. “I


    know you don’t want to join our team. I’m actually here to invite you to participate in a team match. One


    of our teammates had a car ident, and I—”


    “Why not find another person from your team to take his ce?” Pearl didn’t particrly care.


    Felix waved off the idea and praised Pearl’s skills, “He ys a crucial role as a marksman, and he’s the


    best in the team. Given your diverse and versatile skills, I thought you’d be a suitable recement.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Well… alright.” Pearl looked at him with a bit of reluctance but didn’t want to refuse outright. She could


    only agree to go to the club with him.


    “Fantastic!” Felix cheered.


    Suddenly, Richard interjected, “I’lle along.”


    Puzzled, Pearl turned to Richard. “Why are youing along with us? You’re not a gamer.”


    “I’d like to learn. Is that not allowed?” Richard persisted, masking his underlying motives. The club was


    full of men. If any of them had inappropriate intentions toward Pearl, as her rightful boyfriend, he


    intended to ward off any advances. It was better to nip any budding mes in the bud!


    Felix weed the idea. “Sure,e with us.”


    The trio departed, with Richard driving them to the FX E-Sports clubhouse. Upon entering, three men


    approached them, curious about the unfamiliar faces.


    “Boss, you’re back. Who’s this…”


    Initially carefree, the three of them became serious when they saw a pretty young girl standing beside


    Felix.


    As for Richard by her side, he was indeed handsome, but his aura was too cold, so they just pretended


    not to notice him.


    “This is my cousin, Pearl,” Felix introduced Pearl.


    One man extended his hand, aiming to shake hands with Pearl. “Pearl, you’re quite pretty. Can we be


    friends?”


    “Sure…” Pearl smiled and was about to reciprocate when Richard swiftly intervened, shaking the man’s


    hand instead, “She already has plenty of friends. However, I’m open to being friends with you.”


    It was a typical disy of protectiveness. Richard’s jealousy was palpable, and Pearl managed a


    forced smile. “Apologies, he’s always like this. He feels neglected and craves attention. Just  ?offer him


    a bit more warmth, will you?”


    At first thinking it was a case of romantic jealousy, the man changed his mind after hearing Pearl’s


    exnation. He gave Richard’s shoulder a friendly pat, saying, “Make yourself at home here. If you run


    into any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out.”


    As he said this, the man tried to put his arm around Richard, but thetter promptly took hold of his


    hand, stopping him.
