Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)

Chapter 2406

“In fact, I know that nobody in the family would agree if I wanted to become a professional gamer,” Leon Batton said.

Xyla Quest immediately shifted her head to look at her son upon hearing his words. “Why?”

“I know you and Dad always told us you’d respect our decisions every step of the way, but I didn't think you would be happy if I chose to be a professional gamer.

“I know early on that your wish is for me to take over the family business in the future. Besides, I didn’t want to disappoint you guys,” he added.

Xyla suddenly felt that her son had matured immensely by the way he spoke and his thought process.

He was able to view things more comprehensively and consider other people’s feelings.

He seemed like a very understanding boy.

He always cared about what his parents thought.

As his parents, Xyla and Stanley Batton’s efforts weren’t in vain at least.

After contemplating for a few seconds, she regarded him seriously. “Would you like to become a professional gamer?”

“If we’re only talking about hobbies, then yes," he said before admitting softly. "To be honest, my dream is to become a professional gamer.

“But I can’t do that. Unlike other children, I’m destined to have a lot of responsibilities.

“Lynette and I should study hard and take over our family business one step at a time.

“After all, countless employees depend on Dragon Group for a living. We should not only protect our family’s legacy, but also ensure their livelihoods are protected.

Employees at Dragon Group must not worry about their job security,” Leon explained.

These words touched Xyla deeply, feeling her heart expand with joy at his mindfulness.

“Leon, you have grown up. You’re a wonderful young man,” she praised sincerely.

He smiled in response.

Right then, the team matching was complete.

“All right, it’s time to choose your champion,” he urged. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Leon, if you don't let gaming affect your studies, your father and I will support you to be a professional gamer,” she said after some deliberation.

“We won’t be disappointed in you. Honestly, we only hope you can pursue your dreams, not just ours,” she added.

His eyes widened in surprise. “Won't you feel disappointed?”

“No, not at all.”

“In that case, I’d like to join Team XS,” he said instantly with a bright smile.

“Okay.”

“I promise my studies won’t be affected,” he vowed.

“All right, I believe you. However, are you prepared for the tough road ahead?"

“As long as I’m doing what I enjoy, I’m not afraid of doing the work no matter how hard it is,” he replied confidently.

His mother nodded.

“You are different, Mom. I’m already in my final year of high school, but you’re still so daring,” he said in awe.

“Well, that’s because I trust your ability,” she replied.

“I won’t let you down.”

“Okay.”

After mother and son had an open and honest conversation, they transformed into battle gods in the bottom lane of the game.

Nobody could stand in their way.

Although Xyla had aged, her gaming agility was still as effective as before.

She was able to work very well with her son and managed to destroy all their enemy towers in the bottom lane within ten minutes.

Then, they made their way directly to the enemy's high ground.

At the fifteen-minute mark, they led their teammates to victory without even needing to fight the big dragon.

Their style of gaming complemented each other perfectly.

Xyla felt a great sense of satisfaction once the game ended, something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Lately, all the teammates she'd matched with were terrible.

Leon was the only person she’d played with recently who was not only talented at the game but also worked well with her.

She never thought she’d fight alongside her son in the game one day.
