The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

It made sense, with the finals of the Autumn Split next Saturday. If she couldn’t sign with God’s Fury, Alvin’s team might not even make it to the game.

She remembered when Alvin established his esports team in her previous life. While it wasn’t opposed by the Turner family, they didn’t offer any support either.

The so-called base of God’s Fury was just a villa under Alvin’s name that he had converted.

If Alvin wasn’t rich, the team might not have even been formed.

Aubree raised an eyebrow, chose not to reply, and upon entering the door, she found Alvin on the living room sofa holding his phone, looking rather displeased.

“I don’t need any tutoring. The money will be paid as usual. As for what you do here during this time, do whatever,” Alvin said without even looking up.

Aubree chuckled and walked in front of him.

Alvin was already irritated by Phoenix not replying to his messages. He looked up impatiently, “I thought I said-”

Before he could finish, Aubree flashed her phone in front of him, saying, “Here’s where we meet, Shrek.”

Instantly, Alvin’s poker face cracked as he gave Aubree a thorough once-over, still unable to believe this seemingly malnourished girl could be the Phoenix who pulled off those slick moves.

Or maybe he’d just assumed Phoenix was male from the start.

It couldn’t really blame him, though–that was just how the esports scene rolled.

“You really are Phoenix?” he asked in disbelief.

“Wanna play a round?”

That lit a fire in Alvin’s eyes. “Let’s go. There’s a gaming room on the second floor.”

Alvin’s setup at home was even better than most internet cafes. Once in-game, Aubree pulled Alvin into a 3v3 map.

“I main jungler. You might be at a disadvantage here,” he said.

“No prob. If you can gain an edge, you’re the boss.”

“First blood decides it.”

In-game, Aubree locked in Ahri. This champion boasted multiple displacement skills and swift jungle clearing speed, ranking among the faster mages in the mid-lane. In the 3v3 map, letting go of the jungle resources would put one at a considerable disadvantage.

She wasn’t bad at playing junglers, but since she was aiming for pro mid lane, gotta show off the skills.

Alvin wasn’t too surprised by Aubree’s pick.

At the start, both sides were clearing their jungle and minions as usual. After a skirmish, Alvin provided a fake vision and then crouched in the bushes.

That was how he got his nickname-always popping out from unexpected spots, catching opponents off guard.

Aubree noticed and smirked, estimating Alvin’s hiding spot in the bushes, then maneuvered her champion closer.

When the distance felt right, Alvin made his move.

A golden figure appeared on the map, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering, heading straight towards Aubree. Without haste, Aubree deftly dodged to the side with a well-timed second skill.

Perfect prediction. Alvin threw out his combo, but Aubree simply dodged it like it was a piece of cake.

Timing and distance control were spot on.

Alvin initially thought it was just a coincidence and didn’t pay much attention. After missing his attack and taking a set of damage himself, he used his skills, only to have his opponent vanish from sight.
