While the players on one side were boosting morale, the Hurricane team's teammates felt that their captain was acting strangely.
"VK, why are you so aggressive today?" a teammate said.
VK looked at the other person: "Why is it so tense?"
"Listen to that, the sound is so sharp it's like ice crystals are falling from the throat. Doesn't it sound like there's a lot of gunpowder going on?"
The teammates, however, were not angry.
VK is a capable individual; they live and eat together every day and understand each other's temperaments very well.
"Why are you targeting Jiang Tian? Logically speaking, you two shouldn't have any interaction."
One of the teammates also joined the conversation.
"Yeah, we're just here to participate in a business event. We'll be done and leave. But look at you, you're saying you'll go all out. It would be so embarrassing if we lost."
VK could tell his teammates didn't agree with his statement, but his expression didn't change much. He said expressionlessly, "What's wrong with giving your all in a match? If you guys dared to slack off in an official game, the fans would tear you apart. Why can't we do that here? Do you guys have a crush on her?"
The "she" he was referring to was naturally Jiang Tian.
The teammates didn't deny it.
"Of course I like her. To be honest, I really like Jiang Tian's type. And this woman can be gentle and sweet at times, and hot and alluring at others, which is exactly what I envision for my future girlfriend."
One of my teammates just told the truth.
Their team has a rule that, in order to achieve good results, no one is actually dating, since they have to finish the competition.
As straight men, they naturally have their own preferences when it comes to choosing a partner.
Jiang Tian could be said to have hit the mark with that teammate's aesthetic.
His infatuation was evident when he said that.
The others looked disgusted.
"Can you tone it down a bit? Jiang Tian has already announced that she has a boyfriend. Besides, she's almost 40 years old and could be your mother."
The teammate immediately became unhappy: "What dynasty are you from? My mother married late, she was over 30 when she gave birth to me. Can you stop talking about other people's ages all the time?"
Unexpectedly, he got angry, so his teammates remained silent.
It seems he really has feelings for Jiang Tian.
VK listened silently to his teammates arguing, and only stepped forward again when he saw that they had all fallen silent.
"I don't care whether you like her or not. I'll do my best in this competition. After it's over, I can treat you to dinner. You can order whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, the teammates immediately became interested.
"Really? VK, even you have a day when you're not a miser."
VK glanced at him coldly: "I just don't like buying luxury goods. Money is just a number to me. The competition is the most important thing."
The teammates were speechless.
Look at what he's saying! If they didn't know how much money he usually makes, they'd all believe him.
Several teammates chatted, while the staff standing nearby remained silent.
Hurricane Team is currently the most popular team, and the staff don't have much power to manage them.
The team manager didn't come today; most of the people who came were service staff, so we naturally followed their instructions.
Yi Heng was also among the staff.
As a substitute, Yi Heng wasn't familiar with them. He had only been there for a few days, so he could only listen to their conversations.
He just silently watched VK.
VK noticed his gaze and frowned slightly: "Is there something you need?"
VK is quite optimistic about Yi Heng.
He has skills, and his potential might be unleashed at any time, proving invaluable.
Today, Yi Heng came along, and the team did not object. In their view, it was his nature to love joining in the fun. Moreover, Yi Heng had always been very calm and never said anything he shouldn't have. He was also very perceptive and took great care of them.
He himself is quite capable and qualified to be their teammate.
Once others retire, Yi Heng will become a formal member of the team, and VK will definitely treat him badly. The two of them get along quite well on a daily basis.
But today VK noticed that Yi Heng was acting strangely.
The look in his eyes held a hint of aggression.
Yi Heng slowly spoke up: "Captain, these kinds of activities used to be just casual games, why did you suddenly change your style?"
VK frowned even more: "What does this have to do with you? Whether we fight or not, and how it goes, depends on our performance today. Since we're here, we should focus on our skills. Not many people want to watch an exhibition match."
"You played an exhibition match at the last event."
Yi Heng suddenly became serious.
VK's expression turned cold as he looked at Yi Heng: "Then what do you mean?"
"I just don't understand, Jiang Tian and you keep to your own devices, so why are you targeting her?"
"Why would I target her? Does playing a formal match count as targeting her? Yi Heng, you're quite an interesting person."
Yi Heng didn't say anything: "Then let me go on stage. We're going in the same direction, so I'll take your place. Don't worry, I won't slack off; the cameras are over there."
“No.” VK refused outright.
Yi Heng stopped talking and just stared at him.
VK's expression turned completely cold: "You're her fan?"
"no."
"So what happened to you?"
"I know her, and I even confessed my feelings to her."
Hearing this, the other team members who had been secretly listening to the exchange between the two gasped in shock.
vk's expression also changed.
Why didn't you tell us?
"We're not close, that's my personal privacy."
VK looked at him coldly: "So you want to cause me trouble now? Or do you want to replace me and go on stage yourself to let her win?"
Yi Heng shook his head: "I just wanted to remind the captain not to resort to torture and killing, it's not good for us. She's a person of good character. If you have any misunderstandings about her, you can clear them up, but if you openly target her, it will also be detrimental to yourself."
VK almost burst out laughing at Yi Heng's antics.
This man was beating around the bush. He thought he was going to say something, but he didn't expect that he was just afraid that Jiang Tian would be tortured or humiliated on the battlefield. He was really cunning.
“Yi Heng, now that you’ve joined our team, we’re family. I can tell you, I have my own moral bottom line. I’ll compete fairly with her, but I won’t humiliate her. I’m not that despicable. I don’t care about her character, but you need to know the character of our teammates. Don’t jump to conclusions and assume malicious intent.”
VK's tone was quite gentle, but the warning in his words was very clear.
Yi Heng joined their team, and from now on they will be brothers fighting together on the battlefield. If he doesn't even trust his teammates, how can he win the game?
"Okay, Captain, I'm relieved to hear that."
After Yi Heng finished speaking in a serious and methodical manner, he handed them water and still looked like the same calm and quiet younger brother.
