Chapter 148
Jack understood the subtext in Rebecca and chuckled, "Don't underestimate the rookie. I've watched her stream and she's got some serious game. Even Mr. A lost to her!"
Having been an agent for a decade, Jack had a sharp eye for talent.
Despite the barrier of the screen, he could tell this newbie was special.
This newbie didn't have a team, no record label, or any marketing behind her. And yet, in just a fortnight, her followers soared from zero to 300 thousand!
An average Joe? Hardly.
And all this was without showing her face, which could only mean that she was the real deal, a true virtuoso!
Looking at the whole platform, Rebecca might be the only one who could give her a run for her money.
That was why Jack set up the showdown.
Rebecca smirked disdainfully, "Mr. A is a glorified amateur at best. You know what got him his fame. How is going head-to-head with this upstart anything but a downgrade for me?"
Mr. A’s popularity was purely based on his good looks and a voice like melted chocolate, which got him a flock of devoted fans.
Rebecca had the looks and the skills.
What could Mr. A hold a candle to Rebecca with?
Jack grinned, "What’s the matter? Are you scared to lose to the rookie?"
"Me? Lose?" Rebecca snorted.
Jack came over and patted her shoulder, "I know you won’t lose. That's why I arranged the match. Griffin·YC has been trending like crazy! I hear teams are lining up to sign her and make her the next queen of the gaming world."
If things kept up, Griffin·YC’s popularity might soon eclipse Rebecca’s!
At that, Rebecca darkened her expression.
There was not enough room for two sharks in one sea.
In the world of streaming, Rebecca was the one and only queen, the unrivaled gaming goddess!
She wouldn't allow anyone to threaten her throne.
Her assistant, Carey, chimed in, "If it weren't for Ms. Morris taking a break, Griffin·YC wouldn’t have risen so quickly! She's just capitalizing on the vacancy. What the nerve! Ms. Morris, your fans are dying to see you clash with Griffin·YC. Show her your skill!"
"Alright then! I'll compete with her once," Rebecca turned to Jack, "But this is an exception."
Jack nodded, "Don't worry. Beat Griffin·YC this time, and she won't have a chance to turn the tables."
Eight o'clock came around in no time.
Rebecca entered her streaming room right on schedule.
The fans went wild at the sight of her.
‘Rebecca, you’re back at last!’NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
‘Missed you so much!’
‘Heard about the match with Griffin tonight. Can't wait! Griffin·YC has been too cocky lately, even played Mr. A like a fiddle!’
‘Give Griffin·YC a smackdown, Rebecca!’
Rebecca said sweetly, "I missed you guys too. To be honest, I'm not really into the idea of going up against a newbie. It might come off as bullying. We're all part of the same community, after all."
‘No mercy with someone like that, Rebecca. You don't know how shameless Griffin·YC is! Just last week, she took advantage of Mr. A’s leniency and had the audacity to claim victory!’
‘Wow... Rebecca is so kind-hearted.’
As the chat filled with similar sentiments, Rebecca reluctantly added, "Well, if everyone's so excited about me going up against Griffin·YC, I'll do it just this once."
‘You're the best, Rebecca!’
‘Love you!’
When Anthea saw the challenge pop up, she hit decline without a second thought.
Firstly, she had no idea who this person was. Secondly, she had promised her fans a League of Legends showcase tonight.
Rebecca wasn't surprised to see the challenge rejected. After all, she was a grandmaster and a celeb on the site. It made sense the other party would chicken out.
Still, facing the screen, she feigned shock, "Oh! She declined my challenge. Maybe she’s busy? Let's not bother her then."
‘Griffin·YC must be scared!’
‘Laugh my ass off! Chicken before the fight even starts!’
