This team secured the runner-up position in the Spring Championship and won the Autumn Championship this year. At such a peak, if they couldn’t do it, who could?
As expected, in the next two rounds, ST didn’t give HQ any chance to catch their breath and won the championship with a score of 4-0. The commentator passionately shouted, “Let’s congratulate ST! Double champions in one year, well deserved!”
The arena instantly erupted, cheers and the champion’s background music resounded together.
Several young men held the trophy together, golden confetti falling on their heads and shoulders.
Aliyah instinctively smiled. Looking beside her, she saw that the woman holding the child had already left.
As she walked out of the arena, Aliyah saw the woman holding the child walking alone in the light. She held the child’s hand, her back free and cheerful, heading straight to the players’ backstage area.
At Switzerland’s only hot pot restaurant, the woman pushed the door open, bringing in a chill that made those about to leave shiver. “Oh, finally you’re here. You’re dressed too lightly.”
She smiled, “Congratulations on the double championship.”
“Thank you. Come in quickly. Oh, who is this? Grape, do you remember me?”
The child ran into the private room like an eel, “I remember!”
The entire hot pot restaurant was booked by ST, with people on both floors. The steam from the hot pot quickly dispelled the cold, filling the place with joy.
The team members gathered in a large private room, their team uniforms casually hung aside. The table was a mess, filled with seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys loudly discussing match details, full of vigor.
Startled by an unexpected “brother,” everyone quieted down for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Grape is here!”
The little girl, still holding a milk bottle, stumbled into one of the boys’ arms and sweetly called out, “Brother! I missed you!”
Everyone teased him in unison. The boy sitting by the window also smiled and looked outside. “Where’s your mom?”
At that moment, the woman pushed the door open. She had fair skin and a youthful appearance, standing among them without looking old. She leaned against the wall and smiled, “I didn’t expect you guys to finally master the support system.”
“Alice.”
Everyone called out in unison.
Standing there was Callie. Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but she had become more gentle and calm.
Malakai held his phone in one hand, his sweater sleeves rolled up slightly, revealing his slender wrist. “Alice, come sit here.”
Some chatted while others played with the child, creating a lively atmosphere.
Callie sat beside him. “I received a lot of insider news right after the match ended. Many teams are vying for you. Any plans for the transfer period?”
A player who could both jungle and command was as rare as a panda, especially someone like Malakai, a star player whose transfer price had skyrocketed.
Malakai rubbed his neck. “No plans, staying with ST.”
“How much is Nick paying you to keep you so loyal?”
“It’s just too much trouble otherwise.”
“We’re going back home for a celebration banquet in three days. Will you come with us?”
Callie put a piece of meat in her mouth. “I’m not going back; you guys go ahead.”
Malakai clicked his tongue. “Only Nick loves you this much. To let you watch us play in person, he set the finals venue in Switzerland.”
Fans probably didn’t know that this was the real reason for setting the finals in Switzerland-
To let this woman watch the game in person.
