The eSports King's Crush Chapter 1746

As soon as these words were spoken, quite a few people turned their gazes toward Mo Bei. This particular point did indeed warrant further investigation. Meanwhile, Feng Yi stood outside, clad in his suit. Unsure of the discussions unfolding within, his beautiful assistant grew visibly anxious, having to stand on tiptoe even in her heels. “Aren’t you worried?” she inquired, clenching her fists and looking at her boss. “I am worried,” Feng Yi replied with a glance. “Then…” The assistant began, eager to voice more concerns. Feng Yi let out a soft chuckle. “It’s been such a long time; everyone seems to have forgotten.” “Forgotten what?” The assistant remained on edge. Feng Yi’s eyes gleamed. “Xiao Budian is the fire seed left behind by Supreme Alliance. It won’t be extinguished that easily.” As the voices from outside faded, Mo Bei looked up from her stance before the office desk. “Is there a rule forbidding me from using a new account?” she asked, her voice clear and steady. A hush fell over the room as everyone present was stunned. Mo Bei’s gaze fixed on the individual across from her. “Bey is me. Mo Bei and Xiang Nan are also me. Due to personal reasons, I chose to use an alternate account to practice again. Which rule have I transgressed?” “You’re remarkably skilled at fabricating tales. You’re clearly impersonating Mo Nan to assist your brother…” someone interjected. “I am not using my brother’s account,” Mo Bei stated, her eyes darkening. “I’m certain everyone in this room is more aware than I am as to which company Mo Nan’s ID belongs to. I, Mo Bei, also known as Xiang Nan, am the one who entered Dark Flame. I’m also the one who participated in the competition. I’m returning for my brother. Is this against the rules?” Another question arose. A clear stipulation existed against playing on behalf of another player; at the very least, one had to utilize their account in-game. Yet, Mo Bei had used her own identity when she joined Black Flame through the preliminary auditions, though her gender was concealed. This had no bearing on her playing as a substitute. However, certain individuals present were disinclined to let the matter drop. If they couldn't drag Bey down from her pedestal, she would undoubtedly become their most significant obstacle. “Bey, you needn’t assume this issue can be resolved so readily. You deceived everyone; that is the undeniable truth,” one of them declared with a laugh. “If I permit you to continue playing like this, how can I uphold the integrity of e-sports?” “We still need to consolidate opinions from various parties.” “I’m unsure if you’ve seen the online reactions, but a significant portion of people in your country consider you the shame of e-sports.” Mo Bei’s expression remained indifferent. “I am only aware that I am an e-sports player. My sole objective is to win competitions and reclaim the World Championship title. Nothing else matters to me.” Upon hearing the phrase ‘World Championship,’ someone couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “Your ambition knows no bounds.” Mo Bei cast a sideways glance. “I am merely stating facts.” The man narrowed his eyes. The World Committee faced a difficult decision. After all, the competitive arena could not tolerate imperfections. However, labeling Bey as a substitute was not an easily defensible position. Individuals of their generation aspired to witness the twilight of the golden age before their own retirements. This sentiment influenced their perspective. “From my assessment, Bey, it appears impossible for you to participate in the competition. You must realize that many individuals adhere to their own standards. Presenting yourself as your brother to others constitutes an act of substitute play. You…” “I do not believe that is correct,” an representative from the Chinese organizing committee interjected, standing up. “Indeed, many people possess their own measuring sticks, but it is far more unacceptable to apply such a label so casually to an e-sports player based on mere speculation.” “When the ID ‘Mo Bei Xiang Nan’ emerged, many did not initially assume the person behind it was Mo Nan, as their playstyles were entirely different. It was only upon seeing their faces that the assumption of Mo Nan arose.” “Naturally, Bey had her own motivations.” “However, I wish to ask everyone present: Does anyone truly understand the reasons behind her so-called selfish motive?” “It is because her brother was slandered and falsely accused, and trampled upon by immense injustice.” “We are passionate about e-sports because, within its world, we constantly battle against unfairness. We reject the influence of capital and defy fate.” “Yet, in recent years, whether it’s the coercion of financial capital, the pressure of public opinion, or even the pursuit of profit, all of it has been imposed upon e-sports players.” “Far too many have already departed.” “This is the reality in every country. I don’t know your personal views, but I wish to retain them. At the very least, when they strive to fight against injustice on their own terms, I want to keep the players from our own nation.” “Bey is not a substitute!” “You cannot use that word to label her.” “I will assume full responsibility for this outcome.” “She must be included on the Chinese battle team’s roster!” Everyone present understood the immense pressure accompanying such declarations under the prevailing circumstances.

Officials from the organizing committees of various countries observed the situation closely.

The representative team from China remained resolute, showing no signs of backing down.

The implication was clear: she absolutely had to be included in the roster for the Chinese team.

This meant that bey was not to be considered a substitute player!

Despite the intense public scrutiny and backlash, he still chose to stand by and defend his player.

The global governing body was also meticulously evaluating the situation, weighing all potential outcomes.

Ultimately, their decision was condensed into a mere two words.

Further discussions and delicate balancing acts were still required.

Owing to mo bei's unique circumstances, she was unable to meet with anyone at this particular juncture, not even Feng Yi.

These were trying times for everyone involved.

The weight of it all felt particularly heavy on this specific night.

Feng NAI's high fever persisted unabated, prompting him to summon the family doctor multiple times in rapid succession.

Mental health conditions are inherently complex and multifaceted.

This difficulty stemmed from the fact that no one could access or penetrate his inner world.

This undoubtedly presented a significant hidden vulnerability for the Chinese teams.

Would the dawn truly break, bringing an end to this darkness?

A multitude of individuals were eagerly anticipating the outcome.

Conversely, a considerable number of people were consumed by anger.

“We absolutely must force her to withdraw.”

“If this situation doesn't qualify as being a substitute, then what does? Your perspective is fundamentally flawed. Please cease attempting to appease your fans, can you not?”

“You are truly a disgrace.”

“Indeed, it's profoundly embarrassing. They arranged a friendly match yet lacked the courage to see it through. Running away like that makes one a coward.”

The wider internet community was spectating the unfolding drama.

“This entire display is utterly unsavory.”

“There’s no other recourse. The moment Night God initiated an attack, their expressions shifted drastically; they simply didn't dare to engage.”

“Reflecting on the fact that God bey represents my youth, it seems I truly cannot go on.”

“If the people of our own country disapprove, there must be a substantial issue at play.”

“I was informed that she’s designated as a substitute. I simply cannot tolerate this.”

“Tsk tsk.”

If the prevailing darkness were to have a finite duration...

Everyone harbored a fervent hope that the end of this period would arrive as swiftly as possible.

However, the arrival of that much-desired moment was proving to be agonizingly protracted.

It was precisely because of this extended suffering that even the faintest glimmer of light, however weak, possessed the power to reignite everything!

“We may be aging, but we are far from finished. I refuse to acknowledge the label of ‘substitute’.”

“What’s the most effective method to shatter an e-sports player’s career? Simply brand them as a substitute.”

“That approach has merit too. Let's disseminate information to the outside world, suggesting he's gay and merely seeking attention.”

“Oh? What exactly do you imply?”

“That’s precisely the manner in which mo Nan was ousted.”

“But how could one individual, mo Nan, possibly be sufficient?”

“Hahaha, that’s precisely the point. How could simply removing mo Nan be enough? The club and the players aren't solely focused on getting rid of mo Nan.”

“Anyone who jeopardizes their vested interests must be removed.”

“It’s mo Nan’s own failing for being ignorant of the rules, unaware of how to manipulate matches, and for neglecting to offer benefits to those in positions of authority.”

“So, this is what it takes to be an e-sports player? I had mistakenly assumed all that was required was to perform exceptionally well in competitions.”

“

If one excels in the game, what about those who perform poorly and aspire to gain recognition?”

“That’s a straightforward solution: simply drag them down from their pedestal.”

“It’s unfortunate that the same tactic proves ineffective against bey. Her prowess is too immense, and she belongs to the Supreme Alliance.”

“That presents an even simpler strategy: just label her as a substitute.”

“She’s a substitute? Hahahahahahahaha, ingenious!”

Instantly, an innumerable count of player IDs materialized.

There was a distinct absence of rebuttals or retaliatory curses.

Their actions seemed to convey a sense of dark amusement, as if sharing a particularly twisted joke.

Numerous players who were actively engaged in matches ceased their actions.

They observed this unfolding scene in stunned silence, their fingers trembling almost imperceptibly.

There exist certain truths that are fundamentally irreconcilable and impossible to comprehend.

“Our sole desire is to witness China achieve victory once more.”

“We yearn to relive the glory days of the past.”

This sentiment was finally articulated and acknowledged.

The World Committee arrived at a definitive conclusion.

It led to mo bei being summoned to the negotiation table once more.

“You must agree to several conditions we are about to present.”

“Should the Chinese teams manage to secure a position within the top ten, you will be permitted to participate. However, even if you clinch the championship title, your name will be conspicuously omitted from the champion’s list.”

The recipient of this information visibly furrowed their brow. Omission from the champion’s list?

For any e-sports player, such a stipulation was virtually...

“Agreed.” mo bei's demeanor remained exceptionally composed.

The individual seated across the table continued, “Strive to minimize any adverse impact. While you are not officially a substitute, you are strictly forbidden from engaging in any form of deception on the field. Should we detect any further extreme comments or actions, you will face a lifetime ban.”

It seemed unfair that players couldn't possibly control their public perception or the opinions formed about them...

What was truly amiss with bey?

“Agreed.” “I will be present for the top-ten qualifier.” mo bei's eyes betrayed a subtle flicker.

The individuals at the table exchanged glances.

“Furthermore, following the conclusion of this world competition, we anticipate your retirement from the professional scene.”

This pronouncement!

The student overseeing the audit could no longer bear to witness the proceedings and felt compelled to interject.

mo bei responded with a single, concise word.

The representative from the WHO paused before articulating, “We have put forth this proposal with the sincere hope that you can comprehend our reasoning. Continuing to compete under the banner of a world champion might inadvertently foster the misconception among younger generations that all errors are forgivable. This fundamentally contradicts the very ethos of e-sports.”

“I accept.” mo bei's expression was clear and resolute.

“As long as I am permitted to complete the competition, I will consent to any condition presented.”

The World Committee had previously encountered bey's formidable presence.

In her youth, she was indifferent to everyone. Even if her expression remained neutral, her gaze unmistakably conveyed that she would only associate with members of the Supreme Alliance. Rules were irrelevant to her; only victory mattered.

However, she had undergone a transformation.

His entire appearance had been altered.

Yet, one core aspect remained unchanged.

She possessed an unyielding desire to compete.

She was determined to win!

“I am genuinely intrigued and wish to pose a question. Bey, despite your significant concessions, your name is still absent from the roster. Do you harbor any regrets?”

Mo Bei’s eyes gleamed. “No, I still have my teammates. What regrets could I possibly have? Once the competition concludes, people will inevitably recall the ID ‘mo bei xiangnan’ and comprehend the reason for our Chinese team’s presence.”

At that moment, several foreign Organizing Committee members exchanged stunned glances.

They found themselves unable to dismiss this individual.

She was merely a young woman.

Nevertheless, an unseen force seemed to propel her forward.

Initially, they had attributed it to the Supreme Alliance.

But now, they realized it extended beyond the influence of the Supreme Alliance alone.

They had previously pondered this scenario: if it were their own players, they would have certainly withdrawn by this juncture.

What was the significance of claiming a championship title without the official recognition of a signature?

Yet, Bey had given her consent.

What further recourse did they have?

Naturally, this situation was not the end of the matter.

The other teams presented their own demands.

“Regarding the matter of corporate coercion, it is evident that without the backing of Qin Corporation and Feng Corporation, no contestant could withstand such pressure. It is common knowledge what connection Bey shares with these two entities. Unless another corporation, entirely independent of these two, is prepared to assume full ownership, we will not condone this form of capital coercion.”

This was an unequivocal attempt to create insurmountable obstacles.

At this critical juncture, which company, other than the Feng Corporation and the Qin Corporation, would willingly offer sponsorship to their current team?

Certain domestic factions would undoubtedly be compelled to meticulously assess the potential risks and rewards.

The clubs represented by other players had no desire to see Bey make a comeback, as it would undoubtedly diminish the marketability of their own rosters.

Following the dissemination of this news.

Feng Yi initiated a flurry of phone calls.

In truth, given the capabilities of the Feng family, accomplishing this objective was not an insurmountable feat.

However, the conditions stipulated were excessively stringent, and consequently, no one dared to intervene.

In the prevailing climate, any party that became involved would face widespread condemnation.

An individual with extensive experience in the industry, motivated by a long-standing friendship, disclosed the unvarnished truth to Feng Yi. “The landscape has fundamentally shifted. Previously, Young Master Qin was not the sole influential figure; Almighty Z was also present. My young friend, no one would willingly undertake such a perilous gamble now.”
