Chapter 491 - Champions!

“That’s great!! Great!! We won!!”

Li Meiqi shrieked in happiness, and watching as the five big boys huddled together, she was so touched that she was about to cry.

Finally, they had finally won the championship just like they wished to. They were China’s champions, they were the strongest LOL team in the country!!

Luocheng, Zhou Yan, Lin Dong, and Wu Sen all lifted Da Luo into the air!!

This was the Lone Gull they knew!

One person delaying an entire team, one person turning the entire game around, and one person saving the entire world!

That last Teleport had really made everyone go crazy!!

“This is really so touching and so tearful. The performance by Lone Gull’s Mundo at that last two minutes was one of the most epic scenes in our entire LPL, who would have thought of such an outcome!!”

The two commentators had been thrown for the loop so many times, Team Skycrown throwing the Baron, not pushing all the way into the base, being forced into desperate situations…And finally, they had relied on Dr. Mundo to turn the entire game around, was there anything more terrifyingly amazing than a 1 vs 5 win!?

The entire arena was on their feet, not only because of the amazing victory, but because of the awe and respect they held for players like Da Luo. Da Luo’s perseverance, courage, and that madness exactly like the Madman of Zaun, had let everyone know what exactly Team Skycrown’s style was!

This championship, without a doubt, belonged to Team Skycrown!!

***

On the other hand, the five members of Team Sky were completely rigid in their expression.

It was impossible to imagine, entirely impossible to imagine, that the Mundo who had been wrecked by Zhao Tinghua previously would be able to single-handedly take down their entire team!

A nightmare, this Mundo was their entire team’s nightmare!!

The five of them didn’t have any expression on their face. This confusion, sudden failure, and this incredible hard-to-believe feelings would haunt them for a very long time!

Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge room, the bald-headed profiteer had completely broken down in rage. He broke the ashtray that was on the table, taking out his anger by scolding the other members in the room with him!!

“Boss…boss, don’t be so angry, didn’t we have a killer backup plan? We will definitely win that case and their team will disband, the championship is still in our hands.” Sun Liang said, trying to comfort him.

“Just wait, just wait! If I don’t destroy their team completely, I won’t be satisfied!!”

Xu Pingyang was about to blow his top. Everytime a key competition came around, Team Skycrown would make an appearance, and everytime, they would always triumph over his own team. He didn’t know why he even spent so much money to raise these five members!?

When he heard the commentators shouting “Congratulations Team Skycrown for winning the LPL championship”, Xu Pingyang couldn’t hold in the white hot anger inside him, kicking the sofa beside him in anger!

“Ouch! F*ck! F*ck!!”

Xu Pingyang wouldn’t have known that the sofa was made from hardwood, and that angry kick had made him swallow the curses he spewed.

***

Team Skycrown walked toward the stage, shoulder to shoulder.

Champions, this was their most hearty victory since their return to the scene!!

Luocheng stood in the centre of the team, his face holding the biggest, purest smile on it. This was the first time he had smiled in sincere happiness this year.

When did you feel the most alive?

That moment was now, the most touching sounds in his ears, the audience in front and around him that were cheering in joy for them, the victory which you felt to your very bones. It stimulated the blood running through his veins, like the electric pulses sent from the brain to the heart, letting his heart beat violently to the point that he could hear it clearly as it beat!

How long had it been since a victory brought about such an intense feeling!?

The camera kept zooming in on them, giving the five champions of LPL a perfect showing!

Li Yun, who had been sitting in front of the computer and watching this scene, couldn’t help but be touched by the image being shown on screen.

In Li Yun’s memories, Luocheng had become less lively as he aged, and especially since he had retired from the professional league, Li Yun had never seen his real smile.

This time however, he was smiling with no reserves at all.

This was the smile a child should have. Li Yun recalled the time when Luocheng was much younger, he had been active, cute, and naughty, but made it hard for people to reprimand him. He had an innocent laughter which made you feel as though nothing was not worth the payment just to see the smile of this child.

As long as he was doing well and happy, all was good.

Li Yun felt sincerely proud of him, also feeling extremely ecstatic that he had won the competition!

***

The boiling atmosphere at the arena continued for a long while, it had been such a long time since there was such a game in the LPL competitions. Even the organizers couldn’t help but to be caught up in the awe and amazing talents of Team Skycrown!

They had broken the norm of Team Daemons by winning, and they would be the new dazzling star in the S International League!

However, even more than that, they hoped that this team would finally be able to help China obtain the name of the strongest eight and advance the position of China in the field of e-sports LOL, then, that would truly be the pride of the entire nation!

“What an amazing game! At first, I thought that this team was held together by Fighting Hawk. Now, it seems as though this team can spread their own wings and will probably still bring us many amazing surprises in the future!” The head organizer, Ai Ke, announced.

It was true that when Team Skycrown had entered the LPL, they had injected fresh blood into the LPL, making one’s blood boil whether you were in the arena physically or watching from your home. This kind of team was worth supporting and also worth the organizers support and promoting!

“That’s right, boss, I have some documents that you should look at.” Ai Ke’s secretary said as he pulled out the few papers in his hands.

Ai Ke quickly glanced through the paper in his hands and he frowned deeply, saying, “What the h*ll is this Xu Pingyang doing again! Wasn’t it enough the last time he caused trouble!?”

Ai Ke walked straight toward the VIP room, still holding the documents in his hands.

Pushing the door to enter, he saw the bald man in a huff, the ruined items strewn on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ai Ke couldn’t help the sneer that came across on his face. Was it necessary to pretend to be calm when the entire scene was littered with the evidence that betrayed that false smile on his face!

Ai Ke threw the legal documents on the table, saying, “You’d better stop doing whatever it is.”

“This…I’m just protecting my club’s rights and interests. Can’t let someone who signed an agreement with my club cause losses due to unprofessional ethics.” Xu Pingyang quipped.

Ai Ke knew that with legal issues, if Xu Pingyang had evidence, they wouldn’t be able to help Team Skycrown much, and he coldly said, “Many wrongdoings will end up killing you!”

Xu Pingyang watched Ai Ke leave, the smile on his face slowly turned into a disdained frown.

“Boss, it seems that the previous contract is still in the database of the ACE Head Secretary.” Sun Liang suddenly said, realizing it.

Xu Pingyang was startled.

That’s right, when the initial contract signing had taken place, a copy would have been given to ACE for it to be legally binding.

There was still a real copy of the contract in ACE, if that contract were to be taken out, all his lies would be found out.

“I previously heard someone inside saying that Team Skycrown’s manager was looking for something, could it be that they already know…” Sun Liang trailed off uncertainty.

Xu Pingyang slapped his thigh.

How could they let Team Skycrown get their hands on that copy of the contract! If they obtained it and appealed, he would be finished!

This was now a major problem.

Team Sky had not taken the championship, meaning that the ACE Head Secretary position wouldn’t be his, and the contract wouldn’t fall back into his control…

If…if Team Skycrown managed to get the contract…

Xu Pingyang’s thoughts halted there and the cold sweat continued to pour down. No, there was no way in h*ll they could get their hands on the contract!

“Boss, Xiao Lian is on our side, do you want me to sneak in tonight to ACE’s office and steal the contract back out?” Sun Liang asked in a low voice.

“It’s impossible to steal it, that cabinet door is locked. Only old Liang has the key and he won’t hand over the key as long as I’m not head secretary.” Xu Pingyang replied.

“Then…”

“Destroy it, just destroy it straight out. Tonight, you will head over there. It’s a wooden cabinet, just burn the whole thing.” Xu Pingyang said determinedly.

“Won’t that cause bigger problems?” Sun Liang said, slightly concerned.

The office was actually an easy fire hazard, and by burning a wooden cabinet…

“Idiot, just burn it, and when it’s almost done, call a fire brigade. Just don’t burn the entire room down and it’ll be fine. There are only documents in the cabinet, it’ll be easy to light a fire!” Xu Pingyang said.

Sun Liang glanced at Xu Pingyang and realized that his eyes were glinting…

To be honest, Sun Liang just wanted to steal the papers. He didn’t expect Xu Pingyang to be more extreme… no keys, so just destroy the entire cabinet!

This reminded Sun Liang of something someone had said before. Xu Pingyang had done a lot of questionable and shameful things before hitting his riches, and it looked like it was true. A normal businessman wouldn’t do this kind of thing!

***

With the joy of victory, the five members walked backstage.

At this time, regardless of what lawsuit or disbanding of the team that awaited them, obtaining this championship was enough for the five boys right at this moment.

“Come over here, I’ll give each and everyone of you a hug!! Love you guys to death!!”

Meiqi gave them each a hug. None of them had thought of this luck and were engulfed in the sweet and soft fragrance!

“I’ve got another piece of good news to share. I’ve confirmed that a copy of that contract is in the cabinet of the ACE Head Secretary. Since you guys won the championship, Xu Pingyang won’t be getting the position. Wait another two days for Secretary Liang to come back then we’ll be able to get it. Everything will be revealed then, Xu Pingyang is toast!” Meiqi said happily.

The five of them were stunned.

This…this really proved the saying that good things come in pairs!

“That’s to say, we won’t need to disband!” Lin Dong said excitedly.

“Not only do you not need to disband, you’re entering the Worlds and going to play against other countries!!”

“Wahahaha, that’s great!!” Da Luo burst out laughing loudly suddenly.

All the bad news and atmosphere was swept away immediately, these two matters really were a godsend for Team Skycrown!

Just as everyone was ecstatic and celebrating, Lin Dong’s phone suddenly sounded.

He picked it up thinking that it was just some friend messaging to congratulate him.

However, when he saw that it was an unknown number and read the content of the message, all traces of his smile drained from his face immediately.

“Xu Pingyang is going to destroy the evidence tonight!” Lin Dong choked out the words forcefully.
