The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 392

In the spectator stands, Kenneth silently nodded in approval. To counter a nasty move, one had to fight back with the same level of grit.

"Captain Kenneth, have you noticed? This year, Hawk seems different," his teammate whispered sidelong.

Kenneth nodded. "Yeah, they remind me of the squad that took home the championship six times in a row. Looks like their so-called 'import' is that same coach from back then."

"Darn, that makes things tricky."

Kenneth scratched his nose. "What's there to worry about? My bro's got game. If we stick to his playbook, we're golden."

With Percival in their corner, Kenneth felt fearless.

Elsewhere, Percival and Vivienne kept a close eye on the match.

"Aaron's skills have improved," Percival noted.

Vivienne's lips curled into a smile, "He was always good, just lacked the right synergy. A few pointers, and he figured it out himself."

Percival eyed Vivienne with a hint of jealousy. "Vivienne, don't praise other guys in front of me."

"Fine, I'll praise him behind your back."

"That's not allowed either."

Vivienne pinched Percival's cheek playfully. "Mr. Wolf, no sulking now."

Percival pressed his lips, choosing to respond not with words but with a bold move that left nothing to the imagination.

"Damn! The coach just kissed his fiancée!"

"Talk about spicy! This is live. Aren't they worried about the audience?"

Kenneth clenched his teeth in disgust. "Such an indecorous woman, still seducing my brother!"

Callum clicked his tongue. "Captain Kenneth, they're engaged. How does that have anything to do with seduction?"

"Just shut up."

Kenneth's focus shifted as Aaron led an aggressive push toward the enemy's nexus.

Ten minutes later.

"Brilliant!"

Hawk claimed victory in game one.

The group stage required a best of three, and during the break, Vivienne took the opportunity to recalibrate their strategy.

"They'll definitely ban your heroes next round. Plan B is a go. Let's wrap this up early and call it a day." Vivienne set the plan in motion, and the second game commenced.

FAI clearly had not anticipated Hawk's shift in tactics, especially their jungler switching to an AD carry!

What they assumed would be a cunning move turned into a total rout.

With two straight wins, FAI was out, and Hawk advanced to the finals.

The internet erupted with shock, and reporters swarmed Hawk for comments.

"JIE, was picking AD a premeditated decision?"

"We heard Hawk brought in an import. Is that true?"

"After seven consecutive losses, what turned the tide for your team?"

Standing front and center, Aaron replied with a smile, "We didn't bring in any imports, but our old coach is back. With her guidance, we won't lose."

Soon, the news of Hawk's mysterious coach's return was all over the internet.

After the mysterious coach's departure, Hawk had moments of glory, but they faded over time.

Now, with the coach back, their morale was sky-high, and the curiosity was palpable.

Kenneth peered through the small window by Hawk's locker room door, eager to catch a glimpse of this enigmatic coach.

This was the person he admired, second only to his brother!

He had watched Aaron and the mysterious coach go head-to-head on a live stream.
