Once in a Lifetime

Flashback, Global Games Finals

Kai looked at the man in front of him, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape. 

Ethan, 'The Ender,' Henderson. 

They had never been acquainted before, so why was it that Steven was telling him that the legendary Ethan wanted to talk? 

Kai looked at Steven, silently asking the older player what this was all about. However, Steven merely smirked before turning to walk away. 

"Wait," Kai called out, but Ethan cleared his throat, making Kai turn to the legend himself. 

Kai straightened his posture and bowed at ninety degrees. "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," he said. "I am Kai—" 

"Kai Guo," Ethan finished his sentence for him. "You are Kai Guo. I know that." 

Kai's eyebrows raised in surprise, causing the older man to shake his head and chuckle.
