Chapter 343
Jacob was standing beside Oneida.
He had expected the audience to react like this.
After all, Oneida was a woman. There was against women in the field of e–sports, which was inevitable.
Jacob glanced at Oneida with rare tenderness.
Oneida seemed to sense Jacob’s stare and turned back to look at him.
They looked at each other calmly and understood what the other meant.
They didn’t care what the world thought.
They just wanted to win!
However, the spectators were still in an uproar.
Of course, many people began to look at Oneida carefully.
“Let’s not talk about her ability. At least, this girl is so beautiful.”
“Yeah, her appearance makes me feel good.”
“She is so pretty. I like her very much.”
Gradually, some female spectators began to cheer for Oneida loudly.
After all, this was the first time they had seen a woman on the stage of an e–sports competition.
Oneida was the first female contestant!
She represented all the women.
For a long time, the public had a stereotype that only boys played video games well.
They believed that female players were definitely not as good as male players.
So the professional contestants must be men.
However, the appearance of Oneida today had shattered the long–standing stereotype.
Although the spectators didn’t know why Oneida was chosen by KnightGuard and became the one–in–a–million emergency substitute, it signified great progress for a woman to stand on this stage.
Many women were excited about this fact.
“Come on! You’re the best!” A woman shouted at Oneida.
On the stage, Oneida had followed the team to her seat.
“Someone is cheering you up. Have you heard it?” Jacob lowered his voice and said to Oneida beside him.
Oneida nodded and replied, “Yes.”
Someone was cheering her on.
Chapter 343
Oneida felt surprised about it.
At the same time, Oneida’s appearance shocked some before the IV.
Samuel and Charles, who were sitting in front of the TV, were stunned when they saw Oneida’s face.
“Is this… Charles was astounded and asked in disbelief, “Ida?”
Samuel pursed his lips and said nothing.
His serious gaze was fixed straight on the TV screen. It seemed as if Samuel wanted to make sure that the woman in the TV was indeed Oneida.
After a moment of silence, Samuel nodded gently.
“It’s Ida,” Samuel frowned slightly and seemed confused. “How could she…”
“So Ida went to find Jacob!” Charles smiled with interest. “She always surprises us.”
Samuel looked a little relieved and said helplessly, “I really didn’t expect this.”
“I’m afraid if she doesn’t play well, those fans will…” Charles suddenly thought of something and appeared to be a little worried.
After all, as a superstar in the entertainment industry, Charles was well aware that haters and public opinion were horrible.
Many KnightGuard fans were now placing their hopes on Oneida. Therefore, any fatal mistake on her part would likely lead to harsh public criticism.
“They don’t dare!” Samuel’s eyes suddenly became cold, and he said indifferently, “If anyone dares to criticize Ida, I will find a way to shut the netizens up.”
Charles looked at Samuel and knew that he was not joking.
Samuel always did what he said.
Charles smiled and said, “That’s right. I will be Ida’s most loyal fan. Let’s see who dares to criticize her.”
However, the two men who were used to such grand occasions and always remained calm were a little nervous now.
They couldn’t predict the outcome.
They certainly hoped that Jacob and Oneida could win, but the strength of the opponent was not weak.
Therefore, Samuel and Charles just hoped Jacob and Oneida could try their best.

At this time, the discussion online was heated.
E–sports fans were also excited.
When everyone was speculating who the emergency substitute of KnightGuard was, shocking news came.
KnightGuard’s emergency backup was a woman!
A woman?
It was ridiculous and incredible.

Chapter 343-
This even made many people think that KnightGuard had given up on itself. Since the chance of winning was slim, KnightGuard just sent a female contestant to attract the public’s attention and increase its popularity.
After all, sending a female contestant would instantly attract great attention.
[KnightGuard! Am I wrong? Is it really a girl?]
[I think Knight Guard might be crazy!]
[Don’t they want to win? How could they send a girl? Maybe she just needs to pose beautifully and doesn’t have to compete at all!]
[Well… I don’t know what to say.]
[KnightGuard, you’d better not lose too badly.]
[A girl? I don’t think she can make it.]
[Who the hell is this girl? How could she become KnightGuard’s emergency backup? Maybe she really has some skills.]
[I’m surprised. Can KnightGuard secure victory with an amateur and four professionals?]
It was the first time for a female contestant to appear on the stage of the Global Clash Championships, which quickly became a trending topic on the Internet. The name Zero ranked first in Twitter’s trending search list.
Some people were shocked, some expressed puzzlement, and some even mocked.
Of course, there were also many people who sincerely cheered for Oneida.
[So what if it’s a girl? Someone has to break the rules and make a breakthrough! Why can’t it be Zero?]
[Let’s cheer for Zero. Even if she loses, I won’t blame her. It takes courage to stand on the court under great pressure.]
[I finally saw a girl come to play e–sports in my lifetime. Who says girls can’t do it?]
[Zero is the pride of us female players!]

After taking the medicine, Cece began to cry again. She wanted Jackson to pay more attention to her and accompany her.
However, Jackson didn’t respond.

He was in his study, dealing with the work at hand.
Jackson still had doubts about Cece. Even if she was the real Cec
It didn’t matter who she was.
Anyway, Jackson knew that he couldn’t upset Oneida.
He acknowledged that he viewed Cece as a symbol of childhood love between them.
However, On
