Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 62

“Yo, you were just stopped by someone, why are you crying?” Marina walked out of the neighborhood

and saw Tyler with red eyes.

She teased him immediately.

“Marina…” Tyler’s voice was choked with emotion as soon as he spoke.

“Don’t cry. You’re a popular celebrity now. If your fans see this scene, they’ll think that I bullied you. I

can’t handle their anger.” Marina intentionally said.

“I will not let them hurt you!” Tyler spoke slowly and firmly.

His eyes were filled with determination.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Marina couldn’t help but smile.

“It’s been so many years since we last met, and you’ve grown so much taller. I remember you used to

only come up to my shoulder. You looked like a malnourished young man.” Marina reminisced about

when they first met.

Tyler also recalled that time, and the expression in his eyes instantly softened.

“Back then, you always left your food for me.”

“I’m proud of how you’ve turned out. I watched your competition, and you were amazing.” Marina spoke

with a steady voice.

When the young man in front of her heard this, the tears that he had painstakingly suppressed could no

longer be held back.

Suddenly, there was a cry that shook the neighborhood.

Even the security guard in the booth next to him stuck his head out.

“Hey, girl. Although this guy is dressed suspiciously, you don’t have to hit him. Vigilante justice is

illegal. It’s better to call the police.”

Marina was at a loss for words.

“Don’t cry,” Marina whispered.

But Tyler had been suppressing his emotions for too long. Once the floodgates were opened, he could

not stop.

Marina had no choice but to pull Tyler aside and hide from the public

eye.

She didn’t want to be labeled as a violent maniac.

Tyler cried for about twenty minutes before slowly stopping.

Marina looked at Tyler in front of her with red eyes, and let out a long sigh. “How come so many years

have passed and you still haven’t stopped your habit of crying?”

“I….. I haven’t cried in a long time… I was just too happy to see you today,” Tyler said, choking back

tears.

“Is that so? Then why haven’t you contacted me all these years?” Marina crossed her arms and

sounded a bit like she was settling a score.

“It’s not that I don’t want to contact you. I just…” Tyler hurried to explain.

Just what?”

“It’s just that… I was too scared!” Tyler’s voice lowered.

“Scared? Am I a tiger or a demon, that you can’t even send me a message? If I hadn’t messaged you

first, were you planning on never talking to me for the rest of your life?” Marina raised her eyebrows.

“No, it’s not like that! I just wanted to win the championship before contacting you. I wasn’t qualified

before,” Tyler said with a hint of shame in his eyes.

Marina was first taken aback by this and then laughed helplessly.

She stepped forward and patted the young man’s head.

“I know you’ve been working hard all these years.”

“Marina, I finally regained the glory that belongs to us with the squad! Are you happy?” Tyler asked

cautiously.

I’m happy, Marina said, curling her lips.

These two words instantly made the young man’s face bloom with an

incomparably dazzling smile.

All these years, he had been training non–stop almost every day.

In fact, he only slept for three to four hours every day.

Even when he ate, he never stopped studying various tactics.

Many people, even his teammates, thought he worked so hard because he loved the game.

But they didn’t know that he had only started on this path because Night Crawler Team had said that

joining the youth training team would provide free food and accommodation.

His initial wish was just to have a place to live and to eat every day. It was because of Marina that he

truly fell in love with this game.

And because of her, he would do everything he could to win the championship!

Because this was what he owed her!

“Now that you’ve won the championship, we should let go of the past. In fact, my hands are really fine

now, they’re even more agile than before.” Marina gestured to Tyler.

Back then, Tyler was surrounded by debt collectors, and Marina was hit with a stick trying to save him.

Because of that one hit, Marina quit the team. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With her departure, the Night Crawler Team’s performance plummeted, and the former teammates

began to seek new opportunities elsewhere.

The Night Crawler Team was on the verge of disbanding.

It was Tyler’s persistence that kept the team going, leading them to where they are today.

Marina knew that the young man in front of her had been feeling guilty about what had happened back

then.

Therefore, when she saw him succeed, she was genuinely happy.

“But you quit the team because of that…” Tyler’s voice was very low.

He would never have the chance to compete with her again.

“When I left the team back then, it had nothing to do with my hand being injured. It was just because

something happened at home and I had to go back to deal with it.” Marina had already explained.

However, this young man seemed to be exceptionally stubborn.

No matter how she explained it, he would not change his mind.

“Marina, these are tickets for the meeting. I’ve given you a few extra, so you can bring your friends

along.” Tyler didn’t want to dwell on this topic.

He had always hoped to be able to compete with Marina again.

But… that wish would never come true.

“Alright, I’ll be there on time.” Marina sighed unconsciously as she looked at the determined young man

in front of her.

“Well, I’ll go back first,” Tyler didn’t want to waste any more time.

Otherwise, the team manager would definitely nag non–stop when he returned.

“Alright,” Marina replied, watching Tyler leave the neighborhood.

She looked down at the three tickets in her hand.

Oscar and Lee don’t like to play games.

And as for Peter, that guy loves nothing except beautiful women.

So… who should he give it to?

Marina thought for a moment, then took a picture of the ticket and sent it to Simon.

[Are you free tonight? Do you want to attend this together?]

She could only fully enjoy the game if she had her human–shaped pillow with her.

Soon, she received a message back.

[Sure.]

Chang

Seeing that one word, Marina’s mood suddenly became even brighter

As for the remaining ticket, Marina sent it directly to Robert,

II have an extra ticket here. I’ll send it to you at the hospital later, and you can bring your friends.1

When Robert saw this message, he jumped up excitedly from his hospital bed.

[Aunt Marina, you’re now officially my aunt!] Robert’s fingers quickly flew across the keyboard.
