Her voice was gentle and warm as she advised softly, “Captain, those who can enter the top eight are all worthy opponents for us. Also, have you forgotten what Brother Yao said before we came here?”

Only then did Pang Haomiao’s temper subside slightly.

After his narrow victory in the previous match, Brother Yao had scolded him harshly. He said that he was too arrogant and had underestimated his opponent. Brother Yao had scolded him so harshly to the point that he felt that he was not worthy of being the captain. If his performance was bad, he would be replaced.

They had lost before. Coincidentally, they had met a strong team. However, the top eight would be decided by the total points gathered. Even if they lost one match, they would still be able to reach the top eight if they got high points.!!

However, at the last pro league, Team Halberd was originally aiming to win the championship. However, the popular player at that time, Feng Tianrui, suddenly announced his withdrawal from the team and did not participate in the league. Although his position was quickly replaced by someone else, the teamwork between the team members was not good enough. In addition, they had mixed feelings about Feng Tianrui, so the atmosphere in the team was not harmonious. In the end, they did not even make it into the top three and only got fourth place.

Therefore, this time, the team manager was determined to go home with an award, so he had higher expectations for Pang Haomiao and the others.

As for the current Halberd Battle Team, some team members had trained with Feng Tianrui. They were also very angry at Feng Tianrui’s sudden withdrawal. They were holding back their anger. They were also very angry when they saw Feng Tianrui appear. f it was not for Feng Tianrui’s sudden withdrawal, they would have been able to obtain the top rankings back then.

Their professional career in the esports industry would last only for a few years, and Feng Tianrui wasted a year of it. ff Feng Tianrui quit and never stepped into the esports industry again, then they could just forget about it and treat it as if they had been bitten by a dog.

But what was this?

He randomly formed another team and made it to the top eight. Then all their efforts back then were really gobbled by a dog?

Could their sincerity be ruined like this?

Even though Han Siyao tried to dissuade Pang Haomiao, she couldn’t suppress the anger of the other team members. “Feng Tianrui, you still have the guts to come back?” Someone said angrily, “You left without saying a word last year and then disappeared without a trace. We couldn’t contact you no matter how we tried. We thought something had happened to you and looked everywhere for you. In the end, we saw your application to leave the team.” “You abandoned us just like that. You abandoned us! Your brothers!” “Forget it. We’re no longer brothers. We thought that we were the ones in the wrong. What happened in the end? You left the team and disappeared for a year. Now, you’ve formed a new team with other people and returned to compete. I just want to know what you take us for!” “At that time, we were all fired up and said that we would win a championship together. Yet, you left just like that. Now you want to come back and claw your way to the top. Our efforts back then were all for nothing, right?”

He pointed at Feng Tianrui and said, Let me tell you, I feel like vomiting at the sight of you right now!”

The man beside that person pulled him back. “Forget it, Mouse. That’s enough.”

Mouse then shrugged him off. “Camel, look, this is the person you call your brother, the deserter who ran away at the last minute. He’s back again!” “Hey, you guys, just take this as a warning from me,” Mouse said, “Be careful of this person in front of you. He has competed and disappeared once before. He might even do it a second time. So what if you guys have made it to the quarterfinals now? Be careful, because he will run away and you guys will have come all the way here for nothing.”

The members of Sky Shroud said angrily, “You’re talking nonsense! Our captain isn’t like that!”

Mouse laughed coldly, “Captain, hah… Then do you guys know that he was once our captain too?”

Feng Tianrui lowered his head and did not say a word.

Mouse said, “Look, he doesn’t even dare to say anything because he knows that what I said is true. He doesn’t dare refute me. He has a guilty conscience!”

A member of Sky Shroud retorted, “Our captain is someone who has a strong passion for esports! At that time, when we were about to give up on esports, he was the one who pulled us out and brought us all the way here. We don’t believe that he’s the kind of person that you’re talking about! Don’t try to lie to us and disrupt our morale!”

The people from Halberd were definitely trying to soil Feng Tianrui’s image on purpose to make them lose their composure and disrupt their morale in the upcoming match.

They were really sinister. The match had not even started yet and they were already playing mind games. They would not believe that Feng Tianrui was so blind. Feng Tianrui still did not say anything. His hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Jiang Yu glanced at him and already guessed what he was feeling in his heart. ang Haomiao felt uncomfortable.

Mouse and Camel, as well as a few members of the team, including Han Siyao, had all been members of Feng Tianrui’s team when he was the team captain.

He didn’t want to know how deep their feelings were back then, but now that he was the team captain, Mouse and the others were criticizing Feng Tianrui outwardly. But in reality, they still cared about him and could not get over his betrayal.

This made Pang Haomiao’s position as the captain seem like a decoration.

He coughed.

Han Siyao sighed, “Mouse, forget it. It’s all in the past. I think Tianrui probably has some difficulties that he can’t talk about. Maybe now isn’t the time to tell us, so you should stop pressing the issue. “From now on, we just have to work hard and not let our team down.”

With that, she smiled gently at Feng Tianrui. “Good luck, Tianrui. I’ll see you on the battlefield.”

Feng Tianrui finally looked up. He was blank, but there was a faint sense of pain in his eyes. His gaze swept past Han Siyao and turned to Camel, Mouse, and the others behind them. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I owe you guys that much.” With that, he waved his hand, signaling for the team members behind him to follow. Then, he strode away.

After Feng Tianrui brushed past Camel, Mouse, and the others, they finally reacted. They said unhappily, “What does he mean, he’s sorry?” “Just saying sorry isn’t enough.” “Does he think we’re beggars?” “The more I look at him, the more annoyed I get.”

Han Siyao still looked very concerned for Feng Tianrui, “I still think that Tianrui has his difficulties, but he probably can’t find a suitable opportunity to tell us. You guys, it’s better if you don’t go looking for trouble with him. This is a competition, so you have to train and prepare well. The following matches won’t be so easy. The new year has already passed, so we have to focus on the present. Time doesn’t wait for anyone.”

Han Siyao’s voice always had the power to calm people’s hearts, just like her role in the team. Healers were existences that could heal people..
