At another side of Lagos, Ilupeju to be precise, a 30 year old man with clean shaven hair growls in rage and bangs his fist against his table.
Just now his team got defeated by that worthless EbonyKnight who unfortunately happens to be Feyisayo Badmus, his former classmate from St Savior's.
If his memory serves him right, Feyi was that one kid everyone loved to bully because let's face it: she was a strange kid. Always talking to herself. She was also quite untidy and the only times she appeared tidy and well kept were probably whenever that mum of hers took charge.
News about EbonyKnight had already began to spread as well as many Nigerians are shocked that a girl could play a game as competitive as Valkyrie that well and go toe to toe with the boys and even beat said boys at the game.
Chris is in his office, still trying to get over that disgraceful defeat. Besides being the new CEO of Adebite ventures, he is also a famous streamer with over 10 million subscribers.
Well at least he used to have 10 million subscribers until EbonyKnight showed up and kept on kicking his ass in every match they are in that is.
He paces around trying to figure Feyi out. How did she figure out his gameplay? Did she stream snipe or something? There was no way a girl like her that used to do poorly in school and kept changing schools at that could perform so well at that game and end up as a high ranked player.
Oh he remembers how he and his boys would often hang up and bully the hell out of the poor girl. They never hit her yes but they did emotionally manipulate her into doing all kinds of things and put her in trouble. Perhaps his sudden losses to her were a form of karma.
It was then that an idea popped into his mind and he logs back into the game client and sends a message to Feyi.
Feyi logs into the client and finds a message from her opponent from a previous match; MrIncredible.
Feyi sighs and then clicks on the messagre which says:
Hello Ebony. Or should I say Feyi Badmus?
Feyi raises an eyebrow and then types in a reply:
What do you want now Chris?
Chris chuckles. Ah she actually knows. How bright of her.
I want us to have a special rematch. Except it will be just two of us. No teams. Next week Wednesday 1pm sharp at Hard Rock Cafe.
Feyi sighs. She has no choice here because if she failed, Chris and his cronies would straight up harass her, her family and their friends.
Fine. I accept.
Chris' evil smirk broadens. "Good girl."
