Finn Lewis simply left, without uttering a word to anyone in the room after his phone call. The manager, who was sitting in the main seat earlier, gritted his teeth and called out to him, but Finn…well, Finn never paid him any mind and walked out directly, leaving behind a simple, “Remember to move.” before he did so. I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the poor people in the room. But then I think about how they were acting all high and mighty when they arrived and held their meeting. Now, they have to rush to find a moving company and start the arduous task of moving this afternoon. The thought of it is as thrilling as having ice cream in the scorching heat of midsummer!
Feels refreshing! I couldn’t stand these people from the get-go. On my way out, if it weren’t for the thought that I might have to interact with them in the future, and the fact that I’m not as mighty as Finn, I really would have loved to say, “Looks like you lot have finally met your match, eh?”
Needless to say, Howard Lee and I followed Finn Lewis out. In the elevator, I was somewhat speechless, not knowing what to say. In theory, the problem was solved. Our club’s biggest headache was no more. What’s more, there was no need to urgently look for a new middle player.
But is this really okay? How am I supposed to manage the club in the future? I
felt so helpless that my gaze towards Howard brimmed with resentment. You’ve got such a powerful friend, why didn’t you say so earlier? My heart is still racing. What am I supposed to do now?
My mood this afternoon was like a roller coaster ride. It was too exciting to handle. I was already overweight, and after going through so much in the afternoon, I felt as if I had gone through several battles. I was tired as hell and utterly fatigued. The issue got resolved, but another problem crept up.
Given that Howard has such a powerful friend, how’s the club supposed to treat him from now on? I saw how Finn treated Howard today. He didn’t utter a word from start to end, but he did make the game so thrilling.
How insanely domineering is that? It’s like he simply used his wealth to crush everything in the way. Even AC Alliance, the behemoth that normally is a challenge for us at DG Club, is no different than an ant when confronted by Finn. They have been forced by Finn to relocate, leaving no room for comparison between our club and Finn’s power.
Chances are, Finn could crush them just by lifting a finger. How casual is that? With such a god in our club, how do we treat Howard in the future? But I can’t voice such concerns, and can only keep them to myself. Moreover, it seems like we can’t even consider firing Howard now!
If Finn gets angry and directly buys a club…isn’t it going to ruin us? What I don’t realise is that Finn is already contemplating doing just that. If I knew about Finn’s thoughts of purchasing a club, I would have been speechless.
Leaving the building, Finn agreed to come back the next day to sign the contract with Penny King, and then got into my, MG’s, car to head back to Howard’s club. On the ride, Howard was silent for a long time before saying, “Mr. Finn… actually, you didn’t have to do all this… I would have been fine even if I didn’t go pro. I mean, I can’t be a pro all my life… I could simply go back to school. ”
“OK, OK. No need to overthink it. You’re my brother, who else would I help? Overthinking is useless. Moreover, you don’t need to feel like you owe us anything. Collaborating with T company is indeed our next strategic plan. That’s all sorted now…it’s just that it’s going to be really busy for me later. I made a few calls to sort things out, but there’s still much more to handle. You better compensate me by treating me to dinner tonight!” Finn Lewis huffed a few times before finishing.
“No problem at all, consider it done. Should I call in a few anchors as well? You’ll like them.” hearing what Finn said, Howard’s stress seemed to lessen a bit. Anyway, Howard is a bit younger and doesn’t think too much, so he is easily relieved.
“Forget about it… just treating me to dinner will do. I mean, who knows how chaotic things can get at these anchor gatherings…” Oh God, I don’t want to keep things so simple! I don’t want any harbingers! I just want the anchors! But…everything is within sight but out of reach! It feels like having a cat scratching inside your heart. I, Finn Lewis, am on the verge of losing it, and I certainly can’t flirt unnecessarily now.
While Finn might not be able to do certain things, there’s no issues with his body. He does produce hormones and testosterone naturally. All the urges that exist between men and women are all there, the only thing is that he can’t use his little brother to act on those urges. How is this not a torment? After last time with Kay Lee, another close call with Zero, Finn no longer dares to flirt carelessly.
“Alright, maybe next time. Just dinner tonight. Would you care to join us, MG? ” Finn asked the driver, me, “I want to consult with you about something.”
“Sure, why not?” I was initially inclined to decline, thinking I’d be ruining a dinner between the two friends. But since Finn asked, I couldn’t refuse. Apart from Finn’s identity and background, he did help out DG Club today. He needed assistance, and I couldn’t say no.
For dinner, Finn Lewis and his two companions sat at a street-side barbecue stall. Davis was somewhat perplexed, watching Finn Lewis, who sat across from him and Howard Lee, wolf down skewers as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated. Davis found it impossible to connect the image of the man in front of him, greedily chomping on skewers, to the billionaire he had met in the afternoon. Davis looked around the stall and pondered: if he were to tell the people sitting next to him, “The man who is having a barbecue with you right now is a billionaire – wait, I should say his assets are worth at least tens of billions”, would anyone believe him?
“Davis.” Finn Lewis finally broke the silence after they had chatted and eaten for a while.
“Mr. Finn, don’t call me Davis anymore. Just call me Mitchell Davis.” Mitchell Davis said matter-of-factly.
“That name, it’s quite powerful.” Finn Lewis joked. Mitchell Davis’s physique was consistent with such a powerful name.
“Uh, I can’t help it. My parents named me.” Mitchell Davis said with a wry smile. But it seemed his anxiety had lessened somewhat. Lewis’s afternoon actions had been so imposing that Mitchell Davis had been on edge. But after sharing barbecued snacks and drinks with Finn Lewis, Mitchell Davis realized that Lewis was actually a pleasant companion. Maybe he was a bit… let’s say impulsive. But he was also quite genuine. In Northeast dialect, he was quite bold and candid.
In any case, once Mitchell Davis found Lewis to his liking, everything was fine. But if he found Lewis disagreeable, then it would be impossible for them to cooperate. With that thought, Mitchell Davis felt much more relaxed.
“Thing is, I want to ask about e-Sports. You must have noticed, despite the domestic environment being as it is, it still has a significant connection to us. If we had a professional and standardized team, similar issues definitely would not happen.” Upon contemplation, Finn Lewis came straight to the point.
Buying an e-Sports club was something Finn Lewis had considered in the past, but he didn’t have the resources back then. Now he did, and he didn’t intend to let the opportunity pass. If T. Inc agreed to sell Finn Lewis 50% of Game
League company’s shares, this company would also belong to Finn Lewis.
As for the club, Finn Lewis planned to build it into a club that would crush Southland Country. When it came to e-Sports, Southland Country had a monopoly, and he had long been displeased with it. No matter what others said about international friendships, he simply didn’t like Southland Country.
Looking at the previous seasons of the Game League, it was simply a case of Southland Country dominating, which frustrated Finn Lewis. Intramural competitions were intense, but when they went international, they were hammered with results like 3:o. If an agreement with T. Inc was reached and over a hundred heroes were balanced out so that there would not be an overpowering character, then establishing a club to beat Southland Country would be a piece of cake for Finn Lewis.
Could any data analyst or Dispatch Innovator compare to Olivia Thatcher? If the data for the entire Game League was recalculated for balance, it would all be calculated by Olivia Thatcher. Who could have a clearer understanding of which lineup would counter which?
“Uh, Mr. Finn, what do you want to ask?” Mitchell Davis was young, but he was considered a veteran in the e-Sports industry.
“If I want to buy a club, what should I keep in mind?” After pondering it for a moment, Finn Lewis asked.
“Uh… nothing in particular?” Mitchell Davis was dumbfounded for a moment, then managed to squeeze out his answer after a long pause.
“What do you mean?” Finn Lewis was puzzled and asked Mitchell Davis with a perplexed look.
“Well, no offense, but with your financial resources, there’s really nothing to be cautious about.” Mitchell Davis said bitterly. You have so much money that you could easily buy the entire Game League Professional League. How could anything possibly go wrong for you? For other clubs, the most critical issue was lack of funds. But was money a problem for you?
With such a wealthy owner, how could the club not be successful? Mitchell Davis, although a manager of DG Club, yearned for such a boss too! Damn, just look at how Finn Lewis treated Howard Lee! Who would worry about being mistreated when working for Finn Lewis?
