Chapter 189
It happened that Lawrence and Howard were talking about substitutes.
Lionel pricked up his ears and heard they were complaining that their team didn’t have a substitute.
Lionel braved it out and asked, “Are you looking for a substitute
Suddenly being interrupted. Howard looked at Lionel and asked, “Yes. What’s wrong?”
Lionel pursed his lips and asked, “Do you think I stand a chance
Howard and Lawrence were bereft of speech
“Are you serious, President?” Howard asked in shock and said, “As a person in high places, you want to be a substitute for our team! Aren’t you afraid of lowering yourself?”
“No, no,” Lionel said and hurriedly waved his hand. “You are the champions in our university. I feel inferior!”
“Well, you’re being modest. I heard that you formed a team two years ago and participated in many competitions.”
At the mention of the past, Lionel was regretful. “Yes. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with their studies later and didn’t think that e–sports players have a bright future, so they gave up
Tsk, what a pity”
Lionel pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then summoned up the courage to say, “Actually, I’ve watched every match of yours these days! Originally, I planned to step down from my post as the club president after this year and hand it over to the juniors, and I will get farther away from the Heroes of Kings in the future. However, I saw how you were unable to form a team and were disdained by others at first, as well as being looked down upon by everyone in the competition. Finally, you proved yourself with your strength and won match after match Even in the face of other teams using dirty tricks, or even in the face of Justino, you never gave up and won the championship! Looking at you all this while, I feel like I’m seeing my former self! I was the same. In order to realize my e–sports dream, I moved up the ladder step by step. I regretted giving up halfway for some reason. Now, looking at you, I feel that I’ve regained my passion for e–sports. So, when I heard that you wanted to look for a substitute, the first thought in my mind was that I would join you! I want to join your youthful, passionate team that never gives up easily!”
After saying this, Lionel seemed a little embarrassed but still had great courage.
He glanced at the crowd, took a deep breath, and asked slowly, “Can I join you and be a substitute for Team Gorgeous?”
After hearing Lionel’s words, Howard was stunned, while Lawrence almost cried.
Leila and Darwin remained indifferent.
Meanwhile, Samantha had long turned off her phone and looked at him flatly.
When Lionel was about to give up, Samantha spoke
Darwin, have a solo match with President. Let’s see what he’s got
Darwin said, “Okay
Lionel was stunned
Howard hurriedly gave laim a nadge. “Hurry up! Samantha is giving you a chance! As long as you show us what you’ve got. Samantha will accept your

After all, no one signed up to join their team,
Lionel immediately came back to his senses and hurried to turn on the laptop.
Samantha stopped the solo match in about ten minutes
She didn’t need to have a winner. She only needed to see the performance of Lionel.
She could see that Lionel was a little nervous, so he didn’t give full play to his strength.
But his speed, coping ability, and flexibility all met Sarmantha’s requirements toward her teammates,
After Samantha stopped the match, Lionel became more nervous as he stood aside without saying anything.
Howard asked, “Goddess, I think President is good. Why don’t we take him in?”
“No, no. This time, Lawrence became very cautious and looked at Lionel vigilantly. “You weren’t bribed by someone to me with us, were you?”
“What?” Lionel hurriedly waved his hand in shock. “No! How is that possible? I happened to hear you two talking about substitutes, so I suddenly wanted to join you! I swear to God, I will never betray our team! Or you can also get me to sign at agreement or something!”
“That’s true.” Lawrence rubbed his chin. “We didn’t announce it to the public. It was because Howard is a big mouth and has slipped up
Howard was speechless that he was being called a big mouth.
Lawrence then looked at Samantha again. “Sarnamtha, what do you think?”
Samantha didn’t directly say whether Lionel was good. Instead, she left the decision to her teammates.
“What do you guys think of him?”
Having just played against Lionel, Darwin directly replied, “His skill is good. Although he’s not as good as me for the time being there is litle difference between him and Howard”
Howard was speechless.
Howard pouted and then patted Lionel on the shoulder, looking quite like he was in solidarity with the latter.
“It’s okay, President! Don’t listen to Darwin, the iceberg! I supported you to join our team because I have already seen that you, like me, are a talent with unlimited potential! We are talented players, As long as you follow me and train well in the future, you will beat that iceberg sooner or later!”
Lionel was speechless as he was being made to offend someone before joining the team.
After Howard finished speaking, Leila immediately expressed her opinion. She was as cold and official as ever,
“Both his skill and response are acceptable. As a substitute, he’s acceptable.”
Finally, Samantha looked at Lawrence.
Lawrence pursed his lips, feeling uneasy. “Samantha, I can’t say whether he’s good or bad”
“What’s going on, buddy? Are you traumatized after that episode with Yarrick?” Howard asked.
Lawrence didn’t make it clear that he was traumatized, but the Get that he had kept silent with a pursed lip showed that he had been traumatized greatly

Sighing, Howard patted–Lawrence on the arm and said. “I told you that it has nothing to do with you. Yarrick was just a fellow Team Pumpkin used to frame us! Don’t blame yourself for those corrupt people, all right?”
“Okay” With the encouragement of his teammates, Lawrence said slowly, “I have heard about what happened to Lionel. before, so I think he is very good. Besides, his current position will also help us understand the National Championships
next
Everyone was speechless as they didn’t expect Lawrence to have such a thought.
Seeing that everyone approved him. Lionel scratched his head embarrassedly.
“Although I’m the club president, I can only learn about various news in advance before the National Championships. Maybe I won’t help you much.”
“It’s okay. We have never been a team that needs to go through the back door, Samantha said.
Samantha looked at Lionel.
Although he had no expression, Lionel felt that his ears were a little hot and his heart was racing. He was also a little
Tervous.
A few seconds later, he heard Samantha’s voice
He swore that it was the most beautiful voice he had heard in three years at Elstunda University.
He only heard that she slowly said in an ordinary but seemingly trustful tone, “Congratulations, you’ve officially become a member of Team Gorgeous.”
