When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 34

He blurted out, "Let's set her aside for now; we need to talk about the game."

Lemira spoke up, "If we want to win this, everyone needs to follow my lead from here on out."

Alaric was the first to challenge her, "And why should we?"

Lemira's eyes were serious, "Because I know how to win." She was unusually calm as she laid out her thoughts and plans.

Having watched the game earlier, she had a pretty good grasp of the SkyBlaze team members. They had trained together before, so Lemira knew what she was talking about.

"Anyone can talk big. Don't think you're unbeatable just because you're a little talented. You haven't even been training lately. How can you guarantee a win?"

Lemira's lips tightened, "If you won't follow my lead, then I'm out of the competition."

Alaric scoffed, "Fine, leave. Do you think you're that important?"

Lucian quickly intervened, "If no one else has any better ideas, let's just go with her instruction for now."

Alaric, though reluctant, couldn't argue. They were out of options.

The competition was about to resume.

Lemira took Evelina's seat. It was her seat in the past life.

As she put the headphones back on, her expression turned determined. This time, she wasn't fighting to please Alaric. She was competing for herself.

The last-minute change in the SkyBlaze lineup sparked a bit of discussion.

Orion stood by the window on the second floor, watching the girl who was seriously competing.

She burst from behind the wall, cannon in hand, and blasted at the enemy. Her figure darted between buildings, appearing just long enough to disrupt the enemy's rhythm with her attacks.

The announcer got excited, "Wow, her moves are impressive—so skilled, hardly what you'd expect from a newbie, more like a seasoned pro.

She just stopped dead in her tracks, dodging the enemy's ultimate move. How did she anticipate that?

Look, she's charging forward, leaping into the air and unleashing a twelve-hit combo! That's a move only the legendary King could pull off. How can this newcomer possibly achieve that? It's unbelievable!"

The crowd went wild; the entire venue electrified!

King was a legend in everyone's eyes! Though the legend had retired years ago, his legacy lived on.

What connection could this new girl possibly have with King?
