Chapter 605
As the ultimate boss of the Neverfall Navigators, getting his girlfriend a photo or an autograph was a simple matter for him. Anything to make her happy.
“Demon,” Juniper murmured, her cheek resting against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat calming her.
“Demon?” Shanley’s smile faltered, his expression growing serious. Anyone else would have been easy, but not Demon. Demon had left the team two years ago and had vanished without a trace. That was right around the time Shanley had become an investor in the team.
“You like Demon that much?” Shanley asked softly, stroking her hair.
“Yeah,” Juniper yawned, her reply muffled. “Demon is alright, I guess p>
Looking down at the girl who had fallen asleep in his arms and recalling her seemingly ‘disappointed’ answer, Shanley’s brow furrowed. It was clear she was a huge fan of Demon. If he could get Demon to come out of retirement, she would be ecstatic.
With that in mind, Shanley sent a text to Felton. [Find Demon. Money is no object if Demon is willing to return p>
Felton replied almost instantly. [Boss, are you doing this for the team? Trying to get the legendary Demon to come back p>
Shanley typed back. [To make Juniper happy p>
Felton: [Understood, Boss. I’ll start the investigation immediately p>
After putting his phone down, Shanley leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Juniper’s forehead. He would keep this a secret and surprise her once he found Demon.
On Friday, after their last lecture, the class was still buzzing about the WKL eSports event. Everyone suspected the Neverfall Navigators were in a tough spot this time and desperately wanted to see the match live.
Ferdinand and Yolanda had

managed to get tickets. They’d even created a group chat to livestream the event for their friends, pointedly excluding everyone from the computer science program. Apparently, Ferdinand was still holding a grudge after Juniper had put him in his place. The guy’s pettiness was off the charts.
“Whatever, I guess we’ll just wait for the replay,” one of the guys sighed, shrugging in disappointment.
“We can follow the live updates on Twitter this weekend to see what happens p>
“I’ll be cheering for the Neverfall Navigators in spirit p>
“Damn right. Neverfall Navigators never lose. I’m waiting for them to crush those trash-talkers from Batonia Country p>
Those guys were always running
their mouths, saying Orient Country’s eSports scene was nothing without Demon and calling the Neverfall Navigators players a bunch of babies who couldn’t be weaned. They even had the nerve to claim on public forums that many of Orient Country’s traditions and holidays actually originated in their country.
How could anyone stand for that? No way in hell. Hopefully, the Neverfall Navigators would step up.
Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, Juniper, who had already packed her bag, stood up. “Are you all free tomorrow?” she asked, her voice calm.
Everyone stopped their noisy chatter and turned to look at her, confused.
“Meet at the entrance of the WKL eSports arena tomorrow at ten a.m.” Juniper’s lips barely moved, her tone flat. “I’m taking you all to see it live. The seats are pretty good, front-row VIP, I think p>
The front-row VIP seats were being scalped for tens of thousands of dollars each. Besides, hadn’t they heard those seats were all reserved for special guests? Juniper not only got tickets, but front-row VIPO tickets? For all of them?
Was this real? It sounded completely unbelievable.
