Chapter 1136 - Untitled (2/2)

Feng Yi tried to contact his previous connections but couldn’t get hold of anyone. They were probably avoiding him, unwilling to enter the tricky situation. The media, other teams, and even investors they had worked with seemed all to be unwilling.

The public relations team was still monitoring the situation online. One of them glanced up at their boss anxiously. “Boss Feng, should we send out an announcement? This is ridiculous, how can Big Spade be a girl?”

The public relations team assumed he would agree.

Instead, Boss Feng glanced up, his voice deep and emotionless. “She is.”

Just two simple words verified the shocking news. Disbelief clouded their gaze!

“But such public opinion isn’t right.” Feng Yi walked over. “Ever since Spade Z joined the Supreme Alliance, she has been using a male appearance but that is due to her family and not to attract fans.”

The employees were still in a state of shock. “Big Spade… is a gir-girl?” It seemed so far fetched since she was way too handsome. But on the other hand, if Spade Z was really a girl… It would be a devastating blow to them.

“Boss Feng, what should we do?”

Feng Yi spoke resolutely, “Tell it as it is.”

“But if we say that…” The person had more to say.

But Feng Yi looked at him. “I believe Little Spade would do the same if she was here, there isn’t anything to hide. She is a girl but had been brought up as a boy because of her ungrateful father. His affair is well known in the business world. Fu Zhongyi abandoned his wife. He teamed up with his mistress to scheme against his wife, forcing her to give up on the company shares. If Little Spade wasn’t a boy, they might not have been able to survive the ordeal. Ever since Spade Z’s debut as a professional esports player, her gender is the only incident we can’t explain, all this malice is meant to hurt her. Little Spade did not hurt anyone.”

“No one would understand her.” The public relations team were well acquainted with the behavior on the internet. Incidents that defied their principles and harmed others weren’t worth much concern. They were selfish accomplices because they undermined those that pursued justice.

But that wasn’t the same for private matters. They behaved as though it was a grave offence and portrayed themselves as the perfect victims, who couldn’t condemn the perpetrator. Even the slightest bit of imperfection wasn’t acceptable. But they continued to support those without morals, climbing higher with the use of others.

Even the most ordinary public relations staff knew this theory. Thus, it was impossible for Feng Yi not to know.

“Telling the truth isn’t for others to understand, it is to have a clear conscience.” Feng Yi turned, the flame in his eyes burning strong.

Indeed, the news grew too furiously. It spread across all media outlets, layer over layer. Insiders knew the best way was to refute the content since there wasn’t any evidence but things didn’t go as expected because Supreme Alliance acknowledged the claims.

The fans went wild and Supreme Alliance sunk into a crisis like never before. As predicted, countless numbers of people tried to distance themselves from Supreme Alliance. The other clubs took the chance and contacted Xue Yaoyao, showing their interest in her potential. They gave her an attractive offer, wanting to scout her over during their crisis.

“You should know what is happening. Supreme Alliance may have the Qin Group behind them but they won’t be able to go far. It isn’t just about Spade Z’s scandal; Supreme Alliance is breaking apart and if you continue to stay in that sinking ship, you will end up just like that. It would be different in our club, you would be supported with the best resources and fame.”

Xue Yaoyao was still wearing the team attire, the shyness and inferiority she carried with her seemed to disappear in that moment. “I will remain and will only play for Supreme Alliance for as long as I am a professional player, until the day I quit. Perhaps, as you have mentioned, Supreme Alliance will fall apart, perhaps I may wish to move but it will be with Supreme Alliance.” Xue Yaoyao hung her head as she watched the reporters crowding outside the clubhouse. “Besides, Supreme Alliance won’t break apart.”

“You are so senseless.” The manager trying to scout her hung up. Since he couldn’t get Xue Yaoyao, he would target someone else since she was just a backup. However, their replies were all the same.

That wasn’t even all. There was something else that surprised him more. It was the team that was facing scrutiny and judgement, whose members walked out from the clubhouse: Xue Yaoyao, Feng Shang, Yin Wuyao, and Coco.

Some of the other team players were watching the live stream and couldn’t help thinking they were a silly group. None of them avoided the media. Why were they standing in front of the clubhouse at such a tricky moment?

The media flew over like moths to a lightbulb. “What do you think about Spade Z being a girl? Do you feel betrayed by the lies? How is Supreme Alliance going to deal with her? Will she be banned from participating in competitions?”

Yin Wuyao was the eldest of the bunch and remained lazy and unaffected but there was a flame in his eyes. He glanced over at his team members before turning to face the camera. “We already knew that Spade Z is a girl. But her gender does not matter. For the sake of the team, she went straight into the opponent’s lair with her injured arm, facing five others by herself. She did not disappoint in her role as the vice-captain. She is an exemplary esports player. You ask if we feel betrayed by her lies? The youngster found us and brought us into the esports world, she is the one who pulled us out of our abyss. And now we will await her return.”
