Chapter 182: Chapter 181: The Ancestors Put People at Ease (Seeking Votes)
The top-floor business eting room of the Yundu Hotel, where the lights around the podium emitted a faint glow.
“Now that we’ve locked in the Combat Training Master from Su City University, if his dragon is really as strong as the video captured, our four universities are going to be at a disadvantage,” Gou Li tapped her fingers on the podium, implying her thoughts.
Hearing Gou Li’s words.
Among the three, except for Teacher Yu who always maintained a plain expression, the others looked sowhat embarrassed.
After all, as team leaders, having such unsavory tactics out in the open in front of the students was indeed hard to swallow.
For a mont, other than the sound of Gou Li’s fingers tapping on the podium, there was no other noise in the eting room.
“Ahem.”
Zhou Qing, the team leader from Jiangkou University, cleared his throat. Seeing that dragging this out wasn’t a solution and bolstered by youthful vigor, he said softly, “They… ultimately only have four contestants.”
Having said that, he leaned back in his chair and leisurely sipped from the water cup in front of him.
Everyone knew quite well, naturally understanding that the biggest disadvantage for Su City University was their numbers.
If they could sohow manipulate the draw and set the competition mode to “pre-match draw” in advance, or even lock it to “specified match mode” of “team confrontation,”
then Su City University’s team would directly lose the right to participate, effortlessly.
Regrettably, they were only team leaders in charge of competition affairs; they could handle issues related to the qualifying rounds directly, but influencing the organizing committee was beyond their qualification. Such matters required the intervention of higher-ups from their schools.
The school’s top officials cared about their reputation and would not discuss such underhanded issues openly; they just needed to communicate their stance through the team leaders.
By now, the students below also understood the intentions of their teachers, and whispers began to stir in the eting room.
While many spirited young students inevitably had so objections, being mbers of the varsity team ant they had no right to speak out.
Squeak~
As everyone whispered amongst themselves, the screeching sound of a chair sliding across the floor halted the room, and all eyes turned to the area of Yundu University.
Wang Xing adjusted the team jacket on his shoulders, yawned, and then said listlessly, “If everyone’s done talking, then I’m leaving first.”
Without concerning himself with others’ reactions, he walked towards the exit of the eting room, his teammates from Yundu University exchanging glances before standing up to follow him.
The students from the other three universities watched Wang Xing leave, most displaying an annoyed deanor.
Gou Li watched Wang Xing’s carefree departure, her complexion completely darkening, she slamd her hand on the podium, “Wang Xing, don’t go too far.”
As a young teacher newly tasked with responsibility, Gou Li also had her pride.
She was eager to lead the team to decent results to build her credentials, so she had endured Wang Xing’s rudeness ti and again.
But that didn’t an she had no temper. Being repeatedly disrespected and tackled by Wang Xing throughout the evening had already built up a fire within her.
Now, with Wang Xing leaving the venue without any hesitation, her pent-up anger from the evening erupted completely.
Her sharp voice echoed in the eting room, and Wang Xing who had reached the doorway suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned around, his gaze full of mockery as he scrutinized Gou Li, “I’m over the line?”
“You!” Being addressed with such a frivolous tone in front of everyone made Gou Li feel like a clown; she took a deep breath and pointed at Wang Xing, shouting, “Don’t think that just because you are the captain you can do whatever you want. I’ve told you before, scum like you should never be in the varsity team.”
The mont Gou Li said this, everyone showed an expression of shock. Although everyone knew that Wang Xing was indeed despicable, saying it outright in front of so many people was essentially a declaration of total conflict.
“Scum? I am scum?” Wang Xing, with an exaggerated expression, pointed at his own nose. Then he grabbed the wrist of a teammate standing behind him, his eyes intense as he asked, “Zhao Ziyang, do you see as scum?”
The teammate nad Zhao Ziyang, startled, quickly shook his head.
“Wei Yan, do you think I look like scum?”
Wei Yan hurriedly shook his head as well and stepped back.
After asking a few more people in the team, Wang Xing’s strange smile gradually faded and pointing at everyone, he said, “I curse all of you.”
At this outburst, the eting room was thrown into uproar; the students who had been quietly watching were baffled, standing up to furiously condemn Wang Xing.
Even the faces of the three teachers turned sowhat ugly.
Wang Xing ignored everyone’s curses and slowly glanced around, a mocking smile forming on his lips, “And you guys call the scum, look at what you’re doing!”
With that, he rushed to the podium, pointed at Casar’s information, and said mockingly to the students below, “Who is he.”
“How did his parents sacrifice themselves.”
“You claim to respect heroes, so tell , what the hell are you doing here!!”
“Plotting how to strip them of their competition eligibility?”
“Is this how you treat the descendants of frontier heroes?”
“Pfft,” Wang Xing scoffed, “I’ll repeat what I said.”
“To hell with all of you.”
After Wang Xing’s outburst, everyone in the conference room fell silent, and for a mont, no one dared et his gaze.
His words pierced through their hypocrisy like a sharp sword.
Gou Li was so infuriated her chest was about to burst. She pointed at Wang Xing with a trembling finger and gnashed her teeth, “You… you really think I won’t dare to kick you off the team?”
“Do you know how many people are eyeing your spot?”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Wang Xing cocked his head and assessed Gou Li, “Fine, kick out now, and tomorrow Su City University will have the qualifications to compete in the ‘team confrontation’.”
As he spoke, Wang Xing took a few steps towards Gou Li and looked down at her, “Believe it or not!”
Gou Li opened her mouth, her tightly buttoned shirt heaving.
Wang Xing, with his finger tilting her chin, saw Gou Li about to react when she suddenly felt sothing wrap around her neck, immobilizing her on the spot.
With a wicked smirk, Wang Xing slowly lowered his head to sniff her neck and tidied up her ssy hair at the temples. His lips neared her ear and he whispered, “You are quite beautiful, but why don’t you get involved with people at all.”
After speaking, Wang Xing nonchalantly touched Gou Li’s face, withdrew the little snake from her neck, and without turning back, walked towards the door.
Gou Li’s face turned crimson, the feeling of humiliation almost devouring her sanity, darkening her vision as she swayed, leaning on the table.
Di Wushi looked surprisingly at Wang Xing’s retreating figure, her gaze turning cold towards the podium. She got up and left the conference room with her team.
Xiangshan University’s Qin Zhaoxu and Jiangkou University’s team, led by Wang Xiao, also left in succession.
In a blink, the vast conference room was left with only four teachers.
The team leader from Pengzhou University looked at the stupefied Gou Li with pity, “Sigh, to live so long and still not understand as much as a student. I’m withdrawing Pengzhou University from this event.” And without waiting for the others, he shook his head and walked out of the conference room.
Zhou Qing, seeing this situation, was unwilling. Like Gou Li, it was his first ti leading a team and he urgently needed results to prove himself.
But with the current situation…
“Ms. Yu, what do you think?”
Yu Hong glanced at him indifferently, “I’ll tell my dad when I get back.”
Zhou Qing’s face lit up upon hearing this. Yu Hong’s father was the previous president of Xiangshan University and a mber of the regional qualification competition committee; with his senior’s word, there was still hope.
Seeing Yu Hong’s gaze upon him, Zhou Qing quickly stated, “I will also report the threats of Su City University to our school as they were.”
