Chapter 375
Sophia’s face flushed red and her heart was thumping fast.
Sitting next to her, Scary Phoenix was logging into his ount.
Sophia nced at him surreptitiously as he deftly entered his user ID and password, looking like the real
deal.
No way! She must be having a dream!
But the truth was, she wasn’t dreaming and Michael was really Scary Phoenix.
Was there anything in the world he couldn’t do?
Sophia kept her eyes glued to him as though she was trying to see through his body and reach his soul.
Michael, who seemed to be able to sense her gaze, cast a nce in her direction.
She immediately averted her gaze back to the screen of herputer.
When Michael stopped looking at her, she continued peeking at him immediately.
Suddenly, she noticed that she received a private message from Scary Phoenix.
Scary Phoenix: ‘Be at your best in the gameter. If you can defeat the blue team, I’ll reward you with
costumes in bed tonight.’
Sophia’s face turned crimson in an instant when she saw the tantly dirty message. Out of instinct, she
gave a scan to her surroundings and typed furiously: ‘Delete the message right now or it will be spotted
by the audienceter!’
Scary Phoenix replied: ‘Don’t worry, they won’t be able to read the message.’
Sirius233: ‘You shouldn’t be sending inappropriate things now even though they won’t be able to read it!’
They were participating in a top-notch global championship held at Bayside National Stadium which was
broadcasted live all over the world; she couldn’t believe he was still in the mood to flirt with her at this
hour!
Lord, could you take this more seriously?!
Michael finally stopped flirting with her and adopted hisbat status when the game started. As for
Sophia, she first took a deep breath before she was ready to start the group battle.
Several seconds before the game started, she sneaked a look at Michael again.
From her angle, all she could see was his side-profile that looked stern and serious. Exuding a totally
different aura now, it seemed like he had transformed from a hopeless flirt into a prolific swordsman just
like his character in the game
Before the game began, Sophia was still feeling somewhat jittery but now, she suddenly had a feeling
that they would be able to defeat anyone as long as Michael was around.
The game officially started.
The battle started off intensely as all the yers first went around to look for their opponents ording to
their strategy. As Sophia’s character was rtively weaker in the team, her opponent was also the
weaker yer in the opposing team.
Joint attacks was the main strategy of the opposing team as Scary Phoenix was besieged by three
yers at one time as soon as the game started. Meanwhile, the remaining five yers of the team were
tasked with stopping the yers of the red team from going to Scary Phoenix’s rescue.
The blue team believed that once they managed to kill Scary Phoenix, his death would be a fatal blow to
the red team!
yers of the red team immediately tried to break their defence to help Scary Phoenix. The audiences,
some wearing red and some wearing blue, were cheering and pping ecstatically because the game
had started off in a very exciting manner.
Harry and Daniel were watching the game that was projected on the big screen on the VIP tform.
Harry sounded anxiety-ridden as he rambled on, “Daddy, hang in there! Gosh, Sirius is about to be
finished off by the blue team too! Stanley, you stupid dog! Why don’t you go and help them out now?!”
Contrary to Harry, Daniel appeared much more collected because he wasn’t a gamer and he had no idea
what he was talking about. He was of the opinion that Michael and Harry had been rude by leaving
Natasha’s piano concert to be here.
“How will Natasha feel when she realizes you guys left her piano concert halfway?”
Harry and Michael, who had both received invitations from Natasha, were watching the piano concert at
the concert hall opposite the stadium just now. However, they realized that Michael, who was the special
guest of the concert, had actually left halfway through to y in the tournament at the stadium.
No one knew what sort of a scene Natasha would make if she found out about his departure.
Harry couldn’t be bothered about Natasha’s reaction because what concerned him the most at the
moment was the fact that both his Daddies were struggling to fend off their opponents.
Nathan was also watching the big screen nervously at his two Daddies who looked invincible and
powerful in the game.
In the meantime, the piano concert came to a perfect ending and Natasha received a standing ovation
with numerous bouquets of flowers from the audience. Looking just like a princess who had all eyes on
her, she held the flowers in one hand and the microphone in the other as she gave a sincere speech,
“Holding a piano concert like this has always been my dream and it finally came true today. Firstly, I’d like
to express my gratitude…”
She nced at Taylor’s seat but found it was still empty. In fact, Taylor had only watched her concert for
several minutes before he left and never came back.
He was the reason why she had the piano concert today. She had dressed up to the nines for the
asion and performed the most beautiful songs in an attempt to move his soul. Yet, her grand piano
concert turned out to be meaningless because it was missed by its most important audience.
Amending her speech on the spot, Natasha said instead, “I’d like to express my gratitude to my
teacher…”
After the piano concert ended, Natasha went to take a rest backstage where she fished out her phone to
make a call to Taylor.
At the national stadium, a phone in Nathan’s pocket suddenly rang with an unknown number shown on
the screen. After he picked up, he heard a sweet and pleasant voice say, “Taylor, where are you now?
My piano concert has just ended. How about we have dinner together tonight?”
Nathan answered her icily, “My Dad will be having dinner with Mom at home tonight and he has no time
for you. Get lost.”
Click.
He hung up on her.
Natasha stared nkly at her phone.
She couldn’t believe what she just heard.
Did he just ask her to get lost?!
Was the boy Taylor’s son? She was surprised to learn that Taylor actually had a son this big.
No, it couldn’t be the case. Taylor must have lost his phone and a random kid must have found it. He
even had the guts to speak so rudely to her.
She couldn’t believe there existed someone in the world who dared to speak to her that way.
Immediately, she dialed the number and it was picked up by that boy again.
Trying hard to make herself sound friendly, she said, “Hi darling, can you please ask your father to get
this? Tell him I’m Natasha.”
Nathan nced at the screen where his two Daddies were working together to battle it out with their
opponents in the game.
“My Dad is very busy now,” he answered.
Click!
He hung up on her again.
On the other end of the phone call, Natasha was so pissed off by the little boy that her entire body was
shaking.
Immediately, she summoned her assistant over and seethed, “Where have Taylor and Harry gone? Find
out where they are now!”
Her assistant knew the answer without the need to check. “Taylor has gone to the National Stadium to
participate in the Esports World Championship. It has gone viral all over the inte now and you may
check the news articles written about him.”
Natasha quickly checked her phone and found that news articles with the title ‘Taylor Murray is the
champion of the Esports World Championship’ had mushroomed all over the inte.
She clicked into one of those and found pictures of Taylor gaming in the stadium.
She checked the timestamp and found that the tournament started at two thirty, which meant Taylor must
have made his way to the stadium before that time. So, did he only stay at the concert hall for a few
minutes just now?

Scrolling the article, she spotted Sophia in one of the pictures too. Was she referring to the Esports
World Championship when she told her she was going to take part in a globalpetitionst night?
Was an online gamingpetition a legitimate globalpetition?
In her perception, ying online games was only something done by poor people who had nothing better
to do in their lives, and she couldn’t understand why apetition was even held for something like that.
She was even more puzzled when she saw Taylor taking part in such apetition.
Abruptly, she stood bolt upright and thrusted her phone to the floor angrily. “I’m going there to see what it
is all about!”
As her piano concert had ended, the audience were leaving the concert hall. Those who were invited to
the concert were all big shots who were either extremely wealthy or enjoyed respectable social statuses.
On top of that, all of them were very aplished in the artistic world.
The audience left in an orderly manner as luxurious cars came and went one by one at the entrance of
the concert hall.
Seeing this, Natasha was proud of herself because they had alle here to watch her performance.
Then, she made her way to the National Stadium. Although the game had already started, there was still
a throng of people lingering outside the stadium as many of those who didn’t manage to get a ticket or
couldn’t afford one were watching the livestream of thepetition there.
There were at least thousands of them outside the stadium, which was way more than the number of
people who attended her concert. There was even a troop of security officers watching over the area to
maintain order.
