Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 587 Jamie is Fierce

“If I’m correct, that’s the first top national player. How did you know this guy?” Elliot was impressed. “Is

that something to feel impressed about? I have no idea.” She played dumb. He’s just a normal guy too.

Just a better player, that’s all.”

“Just a better player?” Elliot arched his eyebrow. That gap between me and that ‘just a better player’ is

almost insurmountable. It would take forever to close it. Talent is not something that can be overcome

with just hard work.

“Alright, shut up. They’re online. Get ready.” Sheldon got into the groove instantly.

They were quite close in terms of skills. Elliot and Sheldon were careful, but they were ambushed and

eliminated. However, Elise was skillful enough to run around and take out two of their main players.

When she was about to kill the last player who was on their last few points of HP, a grenade rolled over

and bombed her, eliminating her from the game. The opposing team won, and silence fell upon them. A

while later, Elise remarked coldly. “Something’s off. There’s no way the grenade could have traversed

that distance. They cheated!”

“Whoa, it’s true!” Elliot’s eyes shone. “We can report him, right?”

“It’s useless,” Sheldon refuted. “The result for the report will only come out tomorrow, and it might not

work. Nicolas has paid a lot of money for the microtransactions. The devs won’t care.”

“Not exactly true.” Elise was angry. She took her phone out and called a number. “Arthur, I need you to

look into a match in Dead Battleground. It’s a user called Nicolas_Zeezee. He was in a match that

happened at eight twenty-eight. He probably used a cheat.” Games were supposed to be a way to

relax. Using cheats would only take away the other players’ fun.

“Right away.”

Elise hung up a while later and looked at the monitor. “Give them a minute. It should be done in

moments.”

Since she looked serious, the boys didn’t dare to say anything and went back to their seats. Elise was

weird, at least to them. She looked gentle, but when she got serious, she had a really terrifying aura.

Five minutes later, all three of them received an email. ‘Dear player, we have looked into your match

that took place at xx hours xx minutes. The user Nicolas_Zeezee is confirmed to have used a cheat in

the match, and the user is permanently banned. As thanks and compensation, you are rewarded with a

Legendary skin. Thank you for your support of the game.’

“Oh my god!” Elliot stammered, “L-L-Legendary? Nobody has gotten that before! And now they gave it

to us?”

Sheldon was surprised, but he looked at Elise carefully first. “Who did you call just now? Did another

hacker hack into the game servers?”

“No way. The servers’ firewalls can’t be breached that easily.” Elise was confident in her program. “I

just know the developer, so I asked him to help me out.”

Elliot guffawed. “Are you going to tell us you know someone in the government next?”

Does Simon Bull count? Elise squinted and smiled at him. “No. That would be too fake,” she lied.

“Yeah. No way there are so many coincidences.” Elliot heaved a sigh and stood up. “Let’s go.” He

stretched his arms. “Supper’s on me.”

Then, someone roared from the entrance, “Sheldon, get your keister out here right now!”

Elise thought it was Sheldon’s enemy, but when she saw the look on his face, she knew that wasn’t the

case. She looked in the direction of the roar and saw Jamie. “Jamie?” Is he that fierce around his

brother?

“Boss?” Jamie calmed down when he saw her, and he went over. “Why are you here?”

“School bored me out, so I got Sheldon to take me here for a game.” Elise gave Sheldon a look.

“Is that so?” Jamie looked at Sheldon doubtfully.

“Yeah!” Sheldon nodded.

Jamie squinted. He still didn’t believe Sheldon.

“You don’t believe me?” Elise asked.

“I do!” Jamie sighed. “I can rest easy now that I know this kid is taking care of you at school,” he said.

Then he patted Sheldon’s shoulders. “Whatever she does in school, wherever she goes, you must

follow. Understand?”

“Yes!” Sheldon gave them a look that said he got it, then he turned to her and said, “You must be

Jamie’s girlfriend!”

Elise choked on herself.

Jamie smacked his brother’s head. “You idiot! She’s my boss, not my wife!”

Sheldon rubbed his head. “You didn’t make it clear…”

“And you should shut up!” Jamie glared at him, bullying Sheldon into silence. Sheldon thought it was

unfair, but Jamie didn’t care. That was how siblings worked.

“It’s alright.” Elise became the peacemaker. “Your brother is a talented gamer. I think you don’t have to

force him to go overseas. It’s important that he learns what suits him most.”

Jamie accepted Elise’s advice, and he nodded seriously. “You’re right, boss. I’ll talk to Dad about it

when I get back.”

Sheldon’s eyes shone with gratitude. “Thanks, Elise! No, thanks, boss! Thank you!” He had been in a

long battle just so he could live life how he wanted, but neither his father nor Jamie took his side. Elise

solved the problem easily, and he was impressed. He would have agreed to attend Tissote University

sooner if he knew this would happen.

“Don’t get too happy just yet,” Elise said patiently. “Game development isn’t just a game of money and

hard work. If you don’t know how to make a game, you’ll have to rely on the programmers, and that

defeats the purpose of you learning how to make a game.”

Sheldon was convinced. He frowned, immersed in his own thoughts.

“Of course, if you prefer using your family’s wealth to buy your way into success, ignore what I just

said.” And she said no further.

Sheldon thought that was enough, and he promised, “I understand, boss. I’ll do my best to learn.”

“She’s my boss, not yours.” Jamie clenched his fist and thumped his brother’s chest. “You’re such a

copycat.”

Sheldon rubbed his chest and chuckled nonchalantly.
