BubbleSniper greeted Almond with a smile. They would soon face off in the Arsenal.

Almond’s road to diamond would face a serious setback if BubbleSniper eliminated him here. His chance to instantly rise through the ranks would significantly decrease if he ranked lower than the top 50 in this round.

"What the?! Why's that fucker in there!?" Ju-Hyeok slammed the table and felt rattled because it was like watching his favorite sports team encounter an annoying obstacle. His frustration was understandable since not only was money on the line, but their future was also at stake.

The game just so happened to match them with a Diamond I player fueled by revenge in the last placement round. The heavens truly didn’t favor them.

"Ah..."?Ju-Hyeok softly sighed.

‘Come to work starting tomorrow.’ He could hear his father’s voice at the back of his mind.

Ju-Hyeok shook his head, 'I can't let that happen.'

He was past his thirties already and refused to take orders from someone else. Maybe if it was from a boss, but not from his family. That was the last thing he wanted. He would do anything in his power to prevent that, but everything was up to Sang-Hyeon right now.

'What can I do?' He thought about what he could do as a manager.

“...”

Ju-Hyeok was a witty person, but he couldn't think of anything. He felt utterly useless in a crucial moment like this.

He gritted his teeth, 'Think harder.'

Ju-Hyeok took a deep breath and closed his eyes. At least five seconds still remained before they landed on the ground.

He had to think of something…

'Belief.'

A strange word passed through his mind.

Belief? In a situation like this? Was the answer to form a cheerleading squad? That didn't make sense. This was a battle between a bronze ranked player and a Diamond I player hell-bent on revenge. Relying on belief in a situation like this seemed irrational.

Ju-Hyeok tried to dismiss the thought. This was a trait he acquired from his father.

'Dad...'

His train of thought stopped and he finally realized his father's perspective.

Ju-Hyeok's father didn't believe in him because he thought his decisions were always better. From his perspective, he was pointing Ju-Hyeok in the right direction.

However, humans naturally had free will and Ju-Hyeok was raised in a better environment with a better education than his father.

Why couldn't his father believe in the results he worked so hard for? It was simply due to the age they were born in. That’s why these people were called boomers.

'It's belief!'

Ju-Hyeok’s eyes shot wide open.

"Fuck yeah! There's no way Almond will lose!” He shouted and went to a particular website.

[Bubblegum Fanpage]

He finished registering and headed to the front page.

'There's no way Almond will lose. I can see it clearly now!'

He wouldn’t be able to do anything as the manager if he thought Almond would lose because there were no options left in the worst scenario.
