Pearl was more careful in the next round. In the end, she managed to secure a kill from Silas.
"Last round." She winked at him and smiled brightly.
Silas maintained a neutral expression, seemingly untroubled. "We still don't know who's going to win."
Pearl nodded casually.
After Silas was revived, she positioned herself by sgrass, waiting for him. However, Silas appeared to have anticipated her move and remained
still, as if he were stuck.
Pearl had no choice but to wait.
After a while, she realized that something was amiss. It really was Silas, and he seemed ready to attack her. Just as she activated her skill, Pearl

In the final round, Pearl lost 1:2.
Frustrated, she accused Silas, "You played dirty. You farmed resources and used them to push my crystal away."
Silas knew he wasn't going to win, so he took a gamble. However, toward the end, he grasped the extent of Pearl's skills. She hadn't reached the top
of the leaderboard for no reason.
Given the circumstances, he decided to use a sneaky tactic, removing her crystal. This way, the match would end in a stalemate, and he wouldn't
have to fulfill his promise. What would be the point for him to be at the company if he couldn't see her for a month?
"As they say, ‘all is fair in love and war." If | lose, not being able to speak to you for a month would be unbearable.”
His words melted the hearts of the viewers.
[I never thought this man was a hopeless romantic.]
[It's okay for guys to be a little cunning. It's actually kind of sweet.]
[He's got a crush on his boss, who is an exceptional person. | don't stand a chance anymore...]
[Stop crying. Even if Pearl didn't exist, you still wouldn't have a chance with him.]
Pearl had left the livestream, so she was unaware of the chat's reactions.
"You're still streaming. Watch what you say," she cautioned Silas, more concerned about his viewership. If he publicly announced having a crush, he
might lose many female fans, which could be detrimental to his growth as a streamer.
"So what? Isn't it normal to have a crush? Everyone has emotions and desires. Why can't | admit | have feelings for someone?" Silas retorted.

Pearl glared at him. "But you're a streamer now."
"What's wrong with being a streamer? | hope all my fans appreciate my talent. Those who are only here for my looks aren't worth keeping."
His words left Pearl speechless. She opened her mouth to respond but then slapped her forehead in frustration. She was worried that public opinion
might turn against her! What if his fans started attacking her?
However, Silas seemed unfazed by these concerns. He even turned his phone camera toward his face while Pearl stood behind him.
"Hello, everyone. Since you've heard it, | might as well say it out loud," Silas began. "My crush is actually—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Silas's face disappeared from the screen, replaced by a message.
[Your broadcast room contained sensitive topics and has been banned.]
Silas's expression immediately changed. "Who banned my room?"
