Lynette Batton ran out of the car to enter the security office when she saw the huge box of letters.โWow! Who on earth wrote you so many letters?โ she exclaimed in surprise. Leon Batton frowned but didnโt reply. He picked up the box and put it in the backseat of his car before getting back into the driverโs seat.Meanwhile, his sister hastily followed him back into the car.Then, he drove to his parking space, bringing the car to a halt.He carried the box over to a quiet gazebo and sat down, leaving his sister to trail after him silently out of curiosity.He slowly retrieved a letter from the box, bearing the number '1' marked on the envelope. Upon opening the envelope, Leon could see someoneโs pretty handwriting scribbled across the pageโโDear Leon, this is my first letter to you.โIt was the first day of high school. I saw you at our schoolโs entrance, and I was stunned.โBefore meeting you, Iโve never seen a face like yours that gave me such a soul-shaking experience.

โSometimes, you're not even in the classroom, but looking at your seat, your books, and your pen and paper on the table is enough to make me happy."After that, Leon Batton opened even more envelopes, all marked with different numbers.By the tenth letter, he was certain that the numbers indicated the sequence that she had written them.Each letter contained a young teenagerโs feelings toward her crush.Leon could tell what a humble person she was from her words alone.He could tell that she had self-esteem issues.His gaze softened gradually as he read on.Lynette Batton felt similarly, despite never experiencing a crush on anyone herself. She could somehow relate to how this girl felt.The siblings found themselves the object of countless admiration over the years, but none of them were as devoted and genuine as the author of these letters.Lynette realized that this girl paid attention to everything her brother did and every move he made.He had become something akin to a

โItโs probably the girl who dropped out of school,โ Leon Batton answered.Memories of the pitiful expression on the girlโs face came to Lynette Batton's mind at his words.Her eyes lit up. โSo it is her! It seems sheโs fallen head over heels in love with you.โHer brother frowned slightly. โSo it would seem.โโLeon, I think you can try dating her if you have feelings for her. You seem very touched by her confession.โHe didnโt respond immediately and contemplated with a deep frown for a few seconds. โDo I have to date her just because Iโm touched?โShe was stumped by the question.Her brother didnโt say anything further. Instead, he gathered everything up before carrying the box back to his car with her following him closely behind.She really couldnโt understand her brother sometimes.He seemed affected by the letters and even cared about the girl.But why was he saying this now?What was he worried of?She couldnโt understand no matter how hard she tried, so she decided t

Leon Batton gazed at Lynette Batton with a serious expression. โI just want you to be by my side and watch while I play, understood? I donโt want you to tire yourself out needlessly.โShe didn't persist and only nodded after hearing what he said.โAll right, sis. The lesson is about to start. Get back to your seat,โ he ordered.She nodded obediently and returned to her seat.***After school, Lynette and Leon returned home for dinner as usual.After dinner, he drove his limited-edition Ferarri to Team XSโs base, which had moved to the beachside of Atlantis.It was a luxurious six-leveled villa with an ocean view.The white European-style design made it look like a European castle.The base lit up brightly, appearing exclusive from the outside.An intricate wooden sign located by the villaโs entrance read โTeam XSโs Base.โLeon would be impressed by his mother whenever he saw Team XSโs name.Ever since Xyla Quest took over Team XS, they had become virtually undefeatable, nev

โNice to meet you,โ Leon Batton said, reaching out to shake Alexโs hand.The moon glowed brightly on this night, making Leon's skin seem particularly luminescent and smooth as the rays of moonlight shone on him.It also made him appear cold and detached.Alex shook his hand and asked, โYou know me, donโt you?โLeon nodded. โYeah. Youโre the god of Top Solo.โAlex released his hand to scratch the back of his head awkwardly when he heard that. โThatโs all in the past. Iโm just an ordinary coach now.โโYouโre not ordinary. Youโre the best coach in the League of Legends' circle,โ the teenager stated.Who could be as good as Alex in the entire League of Legends' circle?None of the other coaches in the eSports industry could be better than him.Nobody had a more glorious past than Alex.He was the first person to accomplish so much. Apart from being Team XSโs coach, he was also its current president.He was only second to Xyla in the companyโs hierarchy.โYouโre being too kind,"

โIโm the ADC," another boy with silver hair spoke up, extending his hand to the newcomer. "My name is Jackey, but I go by Jack in the game. Iโm seventeen this year, the youngest on the team.โLeon Batton nodded and shook his hand. โNice to meet you.โHe also recognized Jackey, who used to be an internet streamer and a famous gamer in eSports.Xyla Quest signed him onto the team when he turned sixteen and trained him for an entire year.Jackey could only participate in competitions when he reached the minimum age of seventeen, and when he did, Team XS became even more powerful.The teamโs capabilities rose significantly to the point where opponents were afraid of them.After they shook hands, Alex looked at Leon. โOur team manager isnโt around today. Iโll introduce you to him tomorrow. Here, I'd like you to meet our analyst.โWith that, Alex pointed at a pretty lady heading down the stairs.She instantly stepped forward, smiling while she extended a hand to him.He shook her ha

โAll right, Leon. Iโll show you around so you can familiarize yourself with the place. The rest of you, go and shower right now. Get changed and prepare to train at the top floor,โ Alex added, motioning to Leon Batton with a welcoming gesture.Leon nodded and followed Alex around on the first floor before heading up to the subsequent levels above until they finally arrived on the top floor.The entire top floor was a spacious flat surface with perimeter walls and a ceiling made of glass.Various top-performing gaming laptops were set up by the windows.There were several massive refrigerators and comfortable-looking couches scattered around the room.Leon could see the starry sky and the ocean from here.The best views were just past the windows.โThis is our training room here on the base. It will also be the place you hang around the longest each day. Everything you'll need is in the refrigerator. Are you happy with this set-up?โ Alex asked.Leon nodded in awe. Everything see

Alex liked the idea of Team XS retaining many talented gamers as that was the only way for the team to yield good results.Perhaps that would make Xyla Quest happy.Alex had always prioritized her happiness throughout all these years. Previously, he half-expected his feelings for his boss would diminish gradually, but much to his surprise, he couldnโt develop feelings for anyone else.He had been secretly in love with Xyla for almost twenty years now. Did time pass too quickly, or was he too devoted to her?Over the years, he did encounter some decent women.Even now, there were still many pretty young women around him, but he didnโt have eyes for any of them.He didnโt even desire to speak to any of those women, let alone date them.He was honestly concerned that he might end up alone if this went on.Meanwhile, Leon Batton grew more confident after killing the opponent's Top Solo that he killed three others consecutively right after that.His opponent was so puzzled that h

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But nowโฆ Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leonโs feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannahโs mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldnโt utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Grayโฆ Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didnโt know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. โMs. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there werenโt many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didnโt respect women at allโฆ Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oโclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenโs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. โHannah, youโre hereโฆโโHereโs the contractโฆโ Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document.
