Chapter 213 Peevishness (1)

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go.” Finn Lewis looked at Howard Lee who was right behind him and asked in slight annoyance.

“Mr. Finn, let’s not. MG has been good to me, he did his best, it’s not his fault.”

Howard Lee hesitated.

“How is it not his fault? If he can’t protect his own team members, what kind of a team manager is he?” Finn sneered, pulling Howard Lee with him into the building. If it’s not his problem, then whose problem is it?

Finn did not believe that the AC Alliance was really invincible, it was more like they didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so they let it happen.

“Let’s go.” Finn tugged Howard, leading him inside. Several team members of the GD club were in their own club. As soon as Howard Lee entered, everyone immediately greeted Howard Lee. However, they all looked puzzled at Finn Lewis who was next to Howard, because they didn’t seem to know who Finn Lewis was, and there didn’t seem to be a person named Finn Lewis in this circle.

Howard Lee quickly took Finn to the manager’s office of the GD Club. As soon as they entered, Finn saw a relatively fat man sitting in the back of the office. “JW, who is this?” MG looked at Finn on Howard’s side and asked with a bit of curiosity.

“I’m his buddy, my name’s Finn Lewis, I’m here because he’s been banned.” Finn said directly without waiting for Howard to introduce him.

“Oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Lewis.” MG saw Howard Lee being silent, he understood that what Finn said was right, and greeted Finn immediately.

“So, Mr. Lewis, do you have any thoughts on this ban?” MG asked directly after greeting.

“What thoughts could I have? Your club did not act, if we do not come to you, whom should we go to? I just want to ask one thing—do you think banning an eSports player for a year is reasonable? How long is an eSports player’s career? How much proportion does a one-year ban occupy in his career? Even in the football industry, a one-year ban is a very serious punishment. How long is the career of a football player?” Finn asked calmly.

MG wryly smiled: “Mr. Lewis, it’s not that we don’t want to act, nor is the ban something that we can control. We’ve protested to the AC Alliance, but there’s no way we can go against decisions made by them.”

“You mean the AC Alliance can do whatever it wants? We can’t object to it? I don’t believe there’s nowhere to seek justice.” Finn said calmly.

“There are nine union council members in total, and currently seven of them won’t object to this. Mr. Lewis, do you think our protest will make any difference? Moreover, in domestic game alliance professional leagues, the AC Alliance is indeed able to do whatever it wants, and there’s nothing wrong with that.” MG openly explained.

The issue is clear. Thanks to Howard Lee’s impact, the DG club has gained a lot of competitiveness in the new league. Many old strong teams are being eliminated. Now, since they can’t directly affect your club, they can ban your key player who poses a big threat to the entire alliance. If so, can your club still stand out?

Finn has watched many of their games and knows that the DG club currently heavily relies on Howard Lee. Without Howard Lee, the DG club would not be in top four, staying out of demotion would be an accomplishment. Players like Howard Lee who seem to be born for esports are indeed rare. But apparently, to the AC Alliance, it’s crucial to prevent the DG club from rising too quickly. As for this player’s career, and professional life…

They could only be described in two words: “Haha.” How does your career matter to the AC Alliance? There are many professional players, and with the improvements in the gaming environment, these talented players come out in endless streams. They would not care if you’re there or not.

“Alright, I get it, so to your club, Howard Lee’s career is not important, right? I don’t believe there’s no place you can file an appeal.” Finn chuckled, then asked calmly.

“How about this, if you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to the AC Alliance? You can talk to them yourself, and see if it’s us who don’t want to talk, or they who simply won’t give us the opportunity to talk?” MG was totally committed, it’s not that he didn’t want to talk, but they set up a rule in advance, you go there and talk, they can easily send you back with a single sentence.

“Alright.” Finn nodded, his visit to the DG club was to find an explanation, make the DG club stop ignoring Howard Lee, and let the DG club take the lead. After all, if Finn took Howard Lee to protest on their own, it would not be legitimate, and people might not even pay them any attention.

MG was straightforward, leading Finn Lewis and Howard Lee to his car immediately without any fuss. Lewis didn’t even bring his car, choosing instead to ride in MG’s vehicle directly to the AC Alliance.

“We’re in luck, AC Alliance is having a meeting today. You’ll see all the committee members, Mr. Lewis. You’ll soon understand whether what I’m saying is true or not. However, I suggest you don’t cause a scene there. Just ask your questions. If you start a feud, I’m afraid the situation would be irretrievable,” MG said with a bitter smile as they arrived and got out the car.

“Heh, thanks for the advice, Manager MG. I think it’s pretty much irretrievable already. What do you think? After being banned for a year, how much form do you think Howard Lee will still have? You know better than anyone, the form of an Esports athlete isn’t like that of a traditional athlete. So, does it make any difference whether I cause a scene or not?” Lewis replied with a faint smile.

“Well, I think it’s better not to stir up trouble. If you do, it will probably be even more impossible to redeem the situation. As of now, we won’t be terminating our contract with JW. After a month or two, we can appeal to the AC Alliance again. Maybe then, they might reduce the ban period,” MG replied with a bitter smile.

“Heh, so the ban system is just a sham according to you? What’s the point? Subtract if you want to subtract, add if you want to add?” Lewis let out a light laugh.

MG was utterly speechless. Whose side are you on, anyway? You came here to cause trouble, didn’t you? Now, are you speaking for them? If that’s what you mean, reducing the ban isn’t a good thing? At a loss for words, MG had no choice but to lead Lewis and Lee inside without uttering a word. Lewis remained silent as well, he just followed MG inside with a smile.

He had a clear understanding of these guys’ personalities. Talking to MG now would be fruitless. He couldn’t do anything. No matter how brilliantly he reasoned, the final outcome would remain the same.

“Gentlemen, there’s a meeting in progress. What can I help you with?” A young girl outside the conference room stopped the trio.

“Luna, could you please tell them we’re here regarding Howard Lee’s case? We want to appeal to the AC Alliance again. We hope that the AC Alliance would consider reducing Howard Lee’s ban period because it’s too lengthy,” MG said to the girl. Quite evidently, they knew each other.

“I’m sorry, there’s a meeting in progress. They’ve made it clear that no matter what happens, they can’t be disturbed. Could you please wait here?” Luna replied after smiling apologetically and then spoke.

“What’s so important about these meetings?” Lewis muttered. Before anyone could grasp what Lewis meant, Lewis suddenly lifted his foot and kicked the conference room door open.

With a loud bang, Lewis’s kick was so powerful that even though the door was bolted from inside, it still swung open. The force of the kick sent both door panels crashing into the walls, making a loud noise.

All the people inside the meeting room were startled. Meanwhile, the three men outside were agape. They were stunned. MG was at a complete loss for words. Are you sure you’re here to appeal, not to cause havoc?

“Who are you?” The man sitting at the head of the table in the meeting room asked, his face dark. No one in the room was particularly old. The oldest was in his forties, the others were mostly under thirty.

“Who am I? I’m Howard Lee’s agent. I’ve come here today to discuss Howard Lee’s ban,” Lewis said, standing at the side of the conference table with a smile on his face. His elegant smile and demeanor completely contradicted the fact that he had just kicked down the door.

The people around the conference table were stunned. They had seen shameless people but never someone as shameless as this. He barged into the meeting room, yet stood there smiling, demanding a fair hearing from them. Who has ever seen a talent agent negotiate with a talent company or investor in such a manner? This was outrageous!

In addition, since when do Esports athletes have agents? Even though they earn a decent salary every month, it’s hardly enough to support an agent!
