NovelFinishChapter 117 Elian was five years younger than that boy, and there was a significant difference in their size. Yet, he fought with such ferocity that neither of them would stop until they were both bloodied and bruised.
It wasn't until the other boy cried and promised to return the toy that Elian finally let up.
From that day forward, whether they were older or the sage, everyone had a newfound fear of Elian. No one dared to lay a hand on his stuff.
He was the kind who would go to any lengths to get what he wanted.
Jasper snapped out of his reverie and noticed Elian was preparing to leave.

Jasper watched Elian's retreating figure, his brow furrowed in thought.
"Are those two really serious about this?" he wondered aloud.
Suddenly remembering something important, Jasper hurried after Elian. "Hey, wait up, Elian! I haven't visited Mr. Ashcroft yet!" He had nearly forgotten that crucial task. He'd cto Zephra specifically with instructions from his family to pay a visit to Mr. Ashcroft. That was the real purpose of his trip.
The next day, ChronoSpace Esports was set for the grand finale of their live stream.
Thanks to all the pre-event publicity, the streaming room was packed to the brim on the day of the finals.
But Miranda's top supporter remained unchallenged at the top of the leaderboard. The comments from the other rich folks below were nothing short of hysterical.
"Are you guys looking for a butler? Maybe I could fit the bill?" "Bet you all haven't laughed in ages, huh? (Professional Butler at your service)" "Hey big spenders, mind throwing sof that cash my way too?" "You rich kids are not cutting it; the top supporter's got the real clout!" All this left the rich folks seething but silent, resignation descending upon them.
They had to admit, none of them could outshine the top supporter.
Miranda and Sebastian once again took their seats. Just like the first day, both teams were prepared on either side of the stage.
The gwas originally an online PC game, but it had been adapted for mobile to cater to the fast-paced, on-the-go gaming culture. It was now the hottest mobile game, around, corresponding to the thof the show. Arabella was seated in the center of the Vortex Esports team, with Lysander by her side.
When the host asked Arabella, "Arabella, how has the practice been going? Do you have any fighting words to share?" Arabella replied cheekily, "I'm a newbie when it comes to games, so I have been practicing much. But that's okay, Lysander will carryto victory, right?" She flashed Lysander a cute, winning smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLysander and his teammates frowned slightly, but the former nodded in agreement nonetheless.
The host chuckled. "It seems Bella, you're brimming with confidence." Arabella intentionally turned her gaze to Miranda. "I trust my brother." She emphasized the words "my brother", and then smiled at Miranda. "I've trusted him all my life." The host seemed to understand the subtext. "No wonder your brothers adore you so much. You're quite the cherished sister."
Arabella smiled back, her eyes daring Miranda to challenge her. She m seemed to be saying that the four Hawke brothers would always favor her. To them, Miranda was nothing but a castaway.
Sebastian glanced at Miranda, too. The host, almost instinctively, looked at Miranda. "What a coincidence! Miranda, you have the last nHawke too. I'm curious, do you have any siblings?" The question made Lysander's expression change, and he too glanced at Miranda. Arabella's lips curled into a smirk.
She had orchestrated this question, wanting to embarrass Miranda in front of everyone.
The Hawke family had sponsored the event, so of course, the host wasn inclined to play along with their requests. It was a harmless question, after all, so the host had agreed. Miranda smiled softly. "Yes, I do." Arabella loved flaunting her close ties with Dorian and the others in front of Miranda.
During the three years Miranda spent with the Hawke family, Arabella never missed an opportunity to remind her that, in the eyes of the four brothers, Miranda was worth less than a stray dog, let alone as much as a single one of her fingers.
