Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Exposé

"It’s Hugh who led his team to attack our encampment." Renee Morgan guessed the outcome, but still, hearing the worst news, she hung up the mic and spoke to the others.

The others suddenly realized—Hugh didn’t come to pick up the customs team, he actually launched an attack, trying to dismantle their main force?

Renee Morgan: "Don’t worry, they were doing a sneak attack, that’s why our people got sniped."

"The base we picked—they can’t wipe everyone out." There’s losses, but not too huge, after all, it’s a big team with dozens of people.

Dane, hands on the steering wheel, turned to ask her, "Where to now?"

Still no news from Jay Monroe on the comms.

Renee Morgan leaned back in the seat and thought for a moment, then spoke: "Let’s go blow their heads off."

Team Red had just ambushed their camp, and Team Blue lost more than a dozen players already. The gunfire had died down and there was no other info yet.

Dane shot her a look, his eyes cold and dark, eyebrows wild: "How do we do it?"

...

Hugh led his crew to sneak up on Team Blue’s main camp. Some stayed behind at Team Red Tower, some spread across the buildings, he could only bring about twenty guys.

Team Blue’s temporary camp was in an abandoned factory in front of the jungle. They couldn’t surround everyone, and after racking up a dozen kills, Hugh led his team back to the second base line, but didn’t fully retreat yet.

The leaders and Jay Monroe’s big squad didn’t know how many people Team Red had brought. When their team kept getting sniped, they grabbed their people and escaped from the abandoned factory toward the jungle.

And once they realized Hugh hadn’t chased after them, they guessed his numbers weren’t much either.

After everyone got out safely, Jay Monroe steadied his breath, leaned against a big tree, pulled out the comm, just about to connect with Dane and Renee Morgan, when three gunshots rang out through his headset, along with a score update.

"Team Blue sniper, Renee Morgan scores 1 point, total: 110 points."

"..."

"Team Blue sniper, Renee Morgan scores 1 point, total: 112 points."

Jay Monroe’s brain short-circuited for a moment, no time to roast his sniper partner for not being human, and quickly connected the three-way mic.

Renee Morgan stayed silent.

Dane, all business: "I’m busy, talk later if it’s not urgent."

Jay Monroe: "It wasn’t you getting headshots, what are you busy with, helping Morgan count score?"

Dane coolly cut his mic.

Jay Monroe: "#%&@&@#"

Renee Morgan, still on the mic: "..."

After cursing out Dane’s whole family tree, Jay Monroe lifted his mood and asked, "Morgan, where are you?"

Renee Morgan: "..."

Renee Morgan told them how she snuck into Team Red’s building area and ambushed patrolling members.

They’d done this before, sneaking into Red’s territory right after the match started.

The difference: last time, Team Red was clueless. Now, they’re super alert.

Getting in is easy, but after scoring, they’re bound to get surrounded.

Jay Monroe worried, "Morgan, take care of yourself, alright?"

For her sake, he’d already pissed off his cousin.

Renee Morgan listened to his puppy voice, wiping cold sweat, "It’s just a match..."

No need for the ’if she dies, what will he do’ vibe, right?

Jay Monroe, drama queen: "If you don’t win, I probably can’t show my face anymore."

That Hugh guy would definitely throw him under the bus, and he’d never have peace at home again.

Renee Morgan suspicious, "Is it really that bad?"

Jay Monroe: "Seriously, all these years of hard work, could go down the drain if we lose."

Renee Morgan: "..." Looks like the scamming profession isn’t so easy after all.

Wait, is he scamming her again?

Jay Monroe went dead serious: "If you don’t get the highest score..."

Renee Morgan: "And then?"

Jay Monroe sighed: "...Then, I won’t let you go for the rest of my life."

Renee Morgan: "..."

Sigh, come on, losing a match and she has to support him for life?

Renee Morgan: "...Um, Jay Monroe, actually, you’re pretty decent—tall, handsome. Back home, this comic puppy trend’s been huge recently. You’re basically that type. If you want, I can hook you up..." Several companies are into this vibe; with his looks, he’d get signed easily, and once he debuts, he’d totally stand out.

But before she could finish—

Jay Monroe’s tragic voice: "Morgan, what do you take me for?"

Comic puppy trend?

He’s the puppy?

His codename is ’Wolfhead’, okay? He’s the famous Wolfhead in all of Freyos!

Renee Morgan: "??"

Jay Monroe clutched his chest, heartbroken: "You even wanna introduce me to a rich lady?"

"Pfft..." Renee Morgan choked on her own saliva, tried to explain, but coughed too hard to speak.

Jay Monroe already angrily hung up.

No way to explain now.

The livestream chat exploded with laughter.

[Hahaha, I’m dying. ’What do you take me for?’ ’You wanna hook me up with a rich lady?’ OMG, this is peak puppy talk.]

[Is it possible Morgan’s trying to avoid Jay Monroe clinging to her, so she’s looking for a rich lady to sell him off? Make some quick cash?]

[Haha, Morgan would never. She’s probably... really doesn’t wanna raise a puppy herself.]

[Honestly though, Jay Monroe’s looks are totally comic puppy vibe. Double eyelids, long bright eyes like they’re full of stars. When he doesn’t smile, the stars are ice-cold. When he does, it’s like a sky full of sparkling stars.]

[Any rich ladies in the stream? Follow Morgan first, line up to adopt Jay Monroe.]

[Adopt... pff, isn’t Jay Monroe’s age more suited for a ’sugar|baby’ contract?]

[If the age difference is big, adoption makes more sense, haha. The older sisters get it.]

Viewers from abroad aren’t too familiar with comic puppy style, but they get the gist.

[’Puppy’ is Jay Monroe’s codename in Freyos?]

[Probably not, lol, Jay Monroe would have to be insane to use that for his codename.]

[Any leaks? What’s Jay Monroe’s actual codename in Freyos?]

[I remember someone dropped an info last time, said someone in this match has the codename ’Wolfhead’. Is that Jay Monroe?]

Leaks never name names, usually use vague wording. The chat is packed, tons of messages get lost, so remembering that comment was pure luck.

[’Wolfhead’? That sounds familiar... FYI, I’m not an insider. I graduated from Valeron University in Freyos two years ago, heard classmates mention ’Wolfhead’. He’s pretty famous—not for being violent, but because he’s super high-IQ. Graduated from Valeron, went to Meridia’s Harvard, insanely rich family, was apparently once the richest guy in Freyos, even direct blood relatives with The Royal Family.]
