Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2478

Leon Batton smiled. "Thank you."

"It's extraordinary how you're still so calm despite the circumstances," Alex commented before addressing the rest of the team.

"You all did so well, too. I'm giving you a hundred percent for your performance today!

"Now that you've won first place, you all should continue working hard for the world championship," he added.

"Understood," everyone replied simultaneously.

“Hurry up, guys. It's time for the MVP selection," the team's pretty analyst, Sandra Colin, said with a beaming smile on her face.

She led everyone to the couch, where they sat down to face a large screen on the wall.

"Leon was the MVP during the first two matches. I'm sure it'll be him for this match, too," Stewart said.

“Of course, that has to be the case. Did anyone among us perform better than Leon? No!" Damien added. “Don't say that," Leon replied as he gazed at them both. "I did well because of our teamwork."

"No, that was only one aspect of things. It's because you're truly a great player," Stewart said.

The MVP for the third match was announced as they spoke, and Leon's photo appeared on the screen.

"See? I had no doubts about that," Alex cheered. "Leon, you did amazingly well. It's your first competition and you've already won the MVP award three times in a row. This never happened in our region before."

"I was just lucky."

"This has nothing to do with luck. It's your abilities," Jackey said with a smile.

"Leon, you should participate in the post-competition interview later," Alex suggested, but the teenager instantly shook his head.

"No way."

“Listen, you had the best performance today, so you've got to do it," his trainer insisted.

"But I don't like that sort of thing," he muttered.

Stewart grabbed him by the

shoulders at his words. "Leon, nobody likes these kinds of things,

Just get over with since you've t

been chosen. Besides, you

performed so well today. Our fans would be disappointed if they don't hear from you."

"He's right,' Jackey spoke up then. "Most importantly, there's an unwritten rule in the LPL Region that newcomers have to be interviewed after their first competition. It won't look good for the team if you get special treatment. People might even think we're bullying you."

Leon reluctantly nodded wordlessly after seeing how his teammates wanted him to do the interview.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He arrived backstage ahead of time for the post-competition interview.

Right then the beautiful emcee began speaking on stage. "Welcome to the post-competition interview. We have invited S for the interview, so can we all give him a warm welcome to the stage?"

She seemed increasingly excited as she spoke and was received with thunderous applause as she turned to look expectantly toward Leon while he walked up to her.

She promptly passed him a microphone when he was close enough, greeting him with a look of admiration while he maintained his usual aloofness. He was like an unattainable flower on the highest peak where ordinary people could only admire him from below.

Even touching him felt like an insult to his greatness.

"Thank you for being willing to participate in our interview, S. I heard it's your first competition today. How do you rate your performance?" she asked with a smile.

"Hmm, maybe eighty out of a hundred," Leon answered casually.

He knew he hadn't executed certain things as perfectly as he'd like, although everyone thought he performed exceedingly well today.

To him, his performance today was still a little lackluster compared to his usual execution.

Leon knew he could do better.
