Chapter 334: The Three Men Nodded in Agreement with Lawrence Chamberlain's

The three men nodded in agreement with Lawrence Chamberlain's statement. Eternal Champions was a worldwide game that required team formations. The top-ranked player would earn the coveted title 'Eternal Sovereign'. The game interface clearly displayed the current highest-ranked player as Takashi Yamamoto from Lakeshore, though he was offline at that moment. Competitive gaming was their specialty, and they vastly outperformed players from Kingsport. Only one Kingsport player had made it into Eternal Champions' global top ten, while five hailed from Lakeshore. Sienna Bennett opened Takashi Yamamoto's profile and clicked a specific button: [Challenge]

The 'challenge' feature was a unique aspect of Eternal Champions, permitting players to challenge anyone provided they staked a cash deposit. If the challenger lost, the money was forfeited. Sienna deposited one hundred million. Instantly, Eternal Champions' global chat flooded with reactions to the challenge.

[OMG! Someone just staked one hundred million to challenge Takashi Yamamoto!]

[This is only the second challenge against Takashi Yamamoto in five years!]

[The last challenger was 'kill', but that user vanished. Probably dead by now.]

[This is a new player! So audacious! What makes them think they can challenge the Eternal Sovereign?]

[That's one hundred million. Incredibly bold!]

The four elderly men seated behind Sienna simply smiled. They knew their Sienna always possessed such daring. Besides, Takashi Yamamoto stood no chance of winning that money. Sienna could obliterate him effortlessly! Unfortunately, Takashi Yamamoto remained offline that night. As the hour grew late, Sienna turned to them. "You should all get some rest. I'll update you when I hear back."

"Absolutely not! I came prepared to pull an all-nighter! I even brought my supplements!" Silas Granger produced an ordinary-looking pill and swallowed it.

"We already settled this," Sienna sighed. "It's very late."

"Settled? We have more urgent matters. Didn't I have Miles speak to you recently? What's your answer?" Lawrence Chamberlain pressed.

Sienna was taken aback. "Huh?"

"See? You didn't even notice Walter checks on you constantly!" Silas Granger said indignantly.

Sienna felt a jolt of alarm. They were here to pressure her into marrying Frederick Ashford!

"That... Ah! I'm exhausted, I really need to sleep..."

She stood to leave, but the four men blocked her path and firmly reseated her. Reginald Thornton spoke gravely. "Sienna, we've learned about your developments with Lucas Harrington since your return. Lucas is undoubtedly a good man, worthy of you, but his family is far too chaotic."

"Precisely. Consider the situation with the child. He isn't accepted by the rest of the Harrington family. Marrying Lucas would make you a stepmother. Furthermore, Lucas's parents won't make things easy for you. It will be difficult."

"You'll be dragged into their toxic dynamics. You won't have time to realize your full potential! Such a waste, don't you agree?"

"Additionally, a mysterious force is monitoring the Harringtons. Even we haven't been able to identify them. Being with Lucas won't be simple."

The four men spoke in rapid succession. Sienna frowned. "A mysterious force? How do you know about that?"

"Because we care about you. We exhausted all resources investigating the Harringtons. Beyond their business rivals and internal family conflicts, a mysterious force was involved five years ago with unknown motives. This same force delivered Noah to Lucas," Silas Granger explained.

Sienna's eyes darkened. "Mysterious force? Didn't Noah come from a surrogate mother?" Lucas himself said Noah was from a surrogate. What did a mysterious force have to do with it?
