"What are you trying to do? I am sitting here," Viktor said in an indignant tone as he straightened his back and looked down at John.
"Punk, you dare to sit in my seat?" John asked with a dark expression seeing that someone younger than him was fearless enough to claim the seat he was planning to sit at.
Viktor puffed up his chest and said with a straight gaze, "I don't see your name written anywhere here. So why are you lying? Anyone can sit on this seat, but I sat here first."
"Huh?" John had a baffled expression wondering whether this guy was for real. Because this was the first time, he ever heard someone talk to him like this.
And this only infuriated him even further as he grabbed his collars and said, "You tall goofus, you seriously wanna play it this way?"
Skinny Jim and Butkus heard the scuffle going on behind them and frantically came forward.
"Yo, John, leave that poor guy. He just didn't know you were sitting here before," Butkus said with an awkward chuckle as he placed his hand on John's arm while shooting glances at Dorian to not antagonize John any further.
"Fuck off, fatty!" John shrugged off Butkus' hand with a glare, who for a moment gritted his teeth upon hearing the insult but forced himself to remain calm.
"Hey, you can't just call him that. Butkus, no offense, but your brother is a dick with a body that looks no different than a coke machine!" Skinny Jim said in an aggrieved tone as if he had enough.
Skinny Jim's comment indeed hit John's sore spot since he knew his body was in a weird shape because of following the wrong gym routine. And this made his expression twist into an ugly one.
"Skinny Jim!" Butkus called out in an apprehensive tone and quickly put on a flattering tone as he pushed Skinny Jim aside and said, "Brother John, just pretend you didn't hear him. He always runs off his tongue. No need to take offense."
John didn't say anything, but his expression became malevolent as he quickly thrust out his fist towards Skinny Jim, who was standing behind Butkus.
Butkus's eyes widened as he quickly stood before Skinny Jim with his hands raised in panic.
"Butkus, no!"
But even after a few moments, he didn't feel that anything happened.
"Hey...you shouldn't try to hit your friends like that, especially not your own brother. My mother said that we should always cherish our family, including our siblings, and treat their friends with respect," Viktor said in a chiding yet nervous tone as he caught John's fist with his hand.
Butkus opened one of his eyes, hearing Dorian's voice, and had a blinking expression seeing that he stopped John's fist.
He felt relieved, but at the same time, he got worried, wondering what John was going to do to this poor guy with glasses.
After interacting with Dorian for a bit before, he felt that he was a decent and quiet guy.
And now, seeing how he even defended them from a punch, he didn't want John to hurt him because of them.
John's expression twisted even more in anger as he grabbed Dorian's collar again, "Did you just block my punch?"
Tiana, who got up to set up her things, decided to take a peek at what Dorian was doing out of curiosity.
But her brows got pulled together when she saw someone grabbing Dorian's collars in an unfriendly manner, and the situation seemed as if it could get heated up any moment.
She turned around to ignore, but then she grimaced as she hesitated for a few moments before putting down her things and walking over towards Dorian.
"Hey, back off! Who do you think you are touching!" Tiana bellowed at the guy who was grabbing Dorian as she pushed him away.
Viktor raised his eyebrows seeing that the last person he expected came to defend him.
John had a baffled expression when a girl came out of nowhere and pushed him away. But just before he was about to react in his own way, he froze when he saw her grey mask with the white tigress symbol.
"Snow Queen?!" John couldn't understand why one of the world's most popular girl streamers would come out to defend this guy. However, seeing her hot and seductive figure, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Tiana harrumphed, "Good. Now that you know....Fuck off!" Her light blue eyes were glaring at John as if her glare could bore a hole through him.
John felt many eyes falling on him and didn't want to be seen as the villain here. And so he said, "Snow Queen, you should not needlessly get involved in other people's matters. He was occupying my seat."
Tiana put her hands on her hips, "Oho, other people? He is my cousin, you idiot. And as far as I know, nobody was sitting on that seat when we came here. And for you to claim that seat as yours, it's not like your mother came here and bought that seat for you, did she? Now go and play Pac-man on your toy laptop, little boy."
Everybody took in a deep breath, seeing how brutally John got roasted by the Snow Queen and also astonished at how sharp her tongue was as well. Even Viktor mentally shook his head in admiration, seeing that she knew how to send bullies running.
John was not a nobody but a famous streamer, at least in Olknard City, and obviously, the people standing here knew him as well.
Since he was only 175cms tall, being called a 'little boy' by Tiana, who was 2cms taller than him and was also wearing heels, made him indeed feel small before a girl, hurting his ego. And her remark of telling him to go and play a simple video game from the 80s was like an insult to his skills.
His face was completely red with a dark expression, feeling humiliated and indignant.
However, he knew better than to worsen the current situation by picking a verbal fight with the Snow Queen considering how she was known for tearing apart anyone who offended her with just her words, especially online where even some skilled players who remotely offended her had to stop playing the game because of how badly they got roasted by her online in the presence of their fanbase.
That was why the title, The Snow Queen, could literally send shivers through players who knew about her. Her insane talent in the game only made her even more intimidating since being good at the game itself was enough to silence those who tried to get back at her by challenging her one-on-one.
But even though John didn't look like he was a genius, he was quite cunning and decided to still turn this situation in his favor as he couldn't see a better opportunity.
So he straightened his back and said in a sarcastic tone, "Snow Queen, you only know how to badmouth people and play as a lone wolf. How about proving your skills as a team? And that means not a one-on-one challenge but a bet to see if your team or mine is going to qualify in this tournament. A bet to see who is going to get eliminated first!"
