The Bored Immortal
Chapter 82: Tiana’s Surprise Gesture

Tiana immediately asked someone to volunteer to be the middleman. But to everyone's surprise, the cafe owner himself came out and volunteered to be the middleman to put both parties at ease.

The owner was a middle-aged guy and wasn't afraid to be the middleman of a bet between two parties who had powerful backgrounds.??

"Hey, what the hell is happening?" A boy of medium build and slightly tall, wearing spectacles, approached Butkus and Skinny Jim with a confused expression.

He was looking the same age as two, and by the tone with which he asked these two, it seemed as if they were all friends.

Butkus and Skinny Jim had a stupefied look after witnessing the birth of a heated challenge. They didn't even seem to hear what their friend was asking.

"Hello? You two are still on earth or what?" The youngster asked again, finally making Butkus and Skinny Jim turn towards him.

"Huh...Bucky, we..uh...yeah, you must have seen what just happened, right?" Butkus said with an incredulous look and then looked at Dorian, who seemed to be talking with the Snow Queen.

He couldn't believe that all of this started just because Dorian refused to move from his seat, and John was too adamant about sitting on making Dorian move.

But one thing he was happy about was that he got acquainted with someone who was related by family to the Snow Queen!

"Hey, is this a good idea? I mean, we don't even know how good they are at the game," Miss Devil asked Tiana with a tinge of worry in her tone.

Tiana looked at her and waved her hands as she said, "Relax. Our ranks are all maxed out in CS:UW, and even rank wise we are in the top 0.69% of the world. Skills-wise, we would be even higher. We will rekt those noobs and call it gg's within just twenty minutes. They just want to puff up their deflated egos, and we never back down from a challenge. Even my cousin has full faith that we will win. Right, Dorian?"

Viktor nodded with a smile as he looked at the other three girls, "Yes. You guys don't have to worry. I am sure you all will easily win, and if they were that good, wouldn't they be famous already?"

Tiana also nodded in agreement while the other three girls also felt that what Dorian said made sense.

"Dorian, you are way more intelligent than I expected. I can't believe you came up with such a great idea, hehe. Now I can't wait to see them lose before they realize it," Tiana said with a roguish smile.

She glanced at Dorian and felt that he might not be as boring as she had expected. But someone who had wits and was brave as well.

After all, going up against a college student with muscles was not something boys of Dorian's age had the courage to do, especially when they don't know any martial arts.

She wondered if all village boys were like this since all along, she imagined them to be simpletons without much awareness of the working of the world or be very timid about going against people stronger than them.

"So, did you start learning how to play the game, or did that jerk disturb you before you could?" Tiana asked with crossed arms.

Viktor scratched his temple as he said, "Well...he approached me before I could even start. But now that everything has been settled, thanks to you, I can play in peace now. I am really lucky to have a cool cousin like you."

Viktor then turned around to sit on the chair when Tiana suddenly grabbed his arm, "Wait...I...Let me teach you."

Viktor subtly smiled, but then he changed his expression and looked at her with a look of surprise.

Even Tiana's friends, Butkus, and the other two had a dumbfounded look hearing that the Snow Queen was going to personally teach him right before the tournament.

Even the fact that she bothered to take some time to teach someone was unbelievable, and the fact that she was offering to do it right before a big tourney in which she had stakes to lose as well made it even more shocking.

Even they couldn't tell how many gamers would kill to have her as their personal tutor since she was one of the most skilled players in CS:UW. Many already felt that it wouldn't be long before she makes her mark in the international tournaments.

"Snow Queen, we only have twenty-five more minutes before the tourney starts. We still have to set up our config and warmup," Hell Cat anxiously said.

"Yes, Tiana. I mean, you can always teach your cousin later, right?" Shadow cat added as she placed her hand on Tiana's shoulder.

Miss Devil spoke as well, "Dorian, you are okay with it, right? She has—"

Tiana adopted a languid pose and said, "Shh, you guys. Once I say something, I don't go back on it. He doesn't have a gaming station at his home, and now is one of the best times for me to quickly show him the ropes. Trust me, it won't take more than ten minutes. Meanwhile, you guys call up Kitty Princess and ask her where the hell is she. She's already too late."

She then looked at Dorian as she dragged a nearby chair which someone also was going to sit, who could only watch helplessly as he saw his chair getting dragged away by the Snow Queen.

"Come on, let me teach you quickly."

Viktor asked with a worried expression, "Are you sure? I mean, before you told me that, you had to warm up."

Tiana waved her hands, "Nah, I can do it in five minutes."

She then briefly glanced around before whispering to him, "And the only reason I want to teach you now is that you did me a good favor back there, and I don't like owing people, even if it's family. You understand, right?"

Seeing her big round beautiful blue eyes staring at him, Viktor inwardly chuckled as if he could tell what was going on in her mind. However, he answered with a sweet smile and said, "Of course. But since you are my cousin, I will keep helping you whenever I can, and you don't really have to think of returning any favors or anything. I don't mind."

Seeing his sweet and guileless smile, Tiana felt a thickness in her throat and wondered why his words and smile were making her feel complicated emotions even when she tried her best to ignore them.
