Chapter 660
Mysticat swallowed hard, feeling like he couldn’t breathe. Demon was a man. She was a woman. How the hell did they look the part?
The other members of Neverfall Navigators crowded around, their expressions a mixture of horror and disbelief.
“Hahaha The Digital Sabers team exchanged glances before bursting into unrestrained laughter. “Do you even know who Demon is? You think you can just say his name and become him p>
Demon was the fastest player in the history of the sport to reach the highest rank. He had almost never lost a competitive match. Years ago, he had led Neverfall Navigators from an unknown team all the way to the international stage, winning two consecutive world championships and earning fame worldwide. The name Demon had long become a legend, a god-tier figure worshipped by every player in the esports circle.
Most players weren’t even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him. And now, some girl had the audacity to impersonate him. It was laughable.
Then again, she was just a kid. Maybe she didn’t know any better.
The audience was just as skeptical. “What is she doing? She could have claimed to be anyone, but she chose Demon p>
“I’m a fan. I think I’d know if Demon was a man or a woman p>
“It’s obvious the pressure got to her and she snapped p>
“Neverfall Navigators could have lost with dignity. Now they’ve made themselves a laughingstock. The international forums are going to have a field day with this p>
“Even Demon himself would be speechless if he saw this p>
“Wait… am I the only one who thinks that from certain angles, she actually does look a bit like Demon p>
“Now that you mention it… Demon always kept himself completely covered during matches, never showing his face. Is it possible he was a woman in disguise this whole time p>
“The more I think about it, the more I’m starting to wonder p>
In the stands, Miranda nearly jumped out of her seat with excitement before Hayden pulled her back down.
“Aaaah!” Miranda gripped her
husband’s hand tightly, shaking with excitement. “I told you she looked like him! I can’t believe she’s really my ido!” She beamed. “No, wait, now she’s my goddess! I’m so happy 1 finally got to see her in person p>
“Me too,” Hayden said, wincing as he clutched his bruised hand. His handsome face was contorted in pain. Her idol was now a goddess. He’d never have to be jealous or resentful again. He was truly happy
Meanwhile, on stage, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
“You say you’re Demon?” The Digital Sabers captain, who was about the same height as Juniper, met her gaze his voice laced with mockery You’re going to have to prove
He continued, his tone full of arrogance, “If you can prove you’re Demon, I will personally present you with the championship trophy p>
He had faced Demon in battle many times. He was absolutely certain this girl couldn’t be him.
“You said it,” Juniper replied, her lips curling into a smirk.
“I said it,” the captain confirmed without hesitation, even repeating it for the cameras. “If you can prove you’re Demon, I will personally award you the trophy p>
“Proof is simple enough,” Juniper raised an eyebrow and looked at the captain. “Mind if I use your computer p>
“Our computer?” The captain was confused.
“Of course,” Juniper said nonchalantly. “Neverfall Navigators has always played clean. Not like certain teams that resort to disgusting tactics p>
The thinly veiled insult made the Digital Sabers players’ faces darken, but they couldn’t refute it.
“If I’m going to prove it, there can’t be any room for doubt,” Juniper continued. “Using your computer would make it more authentic, don’t you think p>
