The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 232: Strength

They didn’t even bother to ask if Penson would accept the challenge; they just ca to the country and unilaterally announced their challenge to Penson.

Paige Sterling understood that after researching chas abroad for so many years and finally achieving so success, it was impossible for them to endure being suddenly surpassed by Veridia. Naturally, they would want to belittle Veridia.

Not only do they want to belittle, but they also want to overpower with strength.

This not only proves that Veridia’s technology is lagging and that their country’s technological prowess is strong, but it also creates montum for their country’s cha developnt.

Almost the whole world now knows about this provocation, so it’s no longer a question of whether Paige accepts the challenge, but whether she wins.

So Paige responded to the matter on VBlog, stating that she is ga all the way.

Her confidence reassured the sowhat anxious netizens.

God Sterling never fully reveals her strength, so they should have confidence in her as well.

Both sides agreed to compete in a week, and the nation is taking this very seriously, having already started preparing the venue for the competition.

Burt Chambers and his group of fair-weather friends were very worried and begged Burt to take them to Penson to find Paige.

Paige had her secretary invite them to the office.

Looking at these worried youngsters who were also concerned for the country, Paige smiled.

"You all know, they’ve provocatively co to our doorstep. If I don’t respond, others will say we Veridians lack courage."

"Sister Paige, don’t worry! We all believe in you and will be there to cheer you on. You must also believe in yourself!"

Paige seed very relaxed, and with the competition looming, she still hadn’t gone to the lab for research. A girl asked, "God Sterling, aren’t you going to research how to improve the cha?"

"No need. The first-generation cha I showcased before was the initial model. At that ti, materials were limited, so it was crude. I’ve already developed more advanced versions."

The teenagers looked at Paige in astonishnt.

Paige’s confidence made them see her as if she was radiating light.

"Really, God Sterling? Can we... have the chance to see it?"

"Of course, not only will you have the chance to see it, but you will also beco the first batch of cha testers, showcasing them in front of the world’s people."

The young people were even more excited. "Sister Paige, tell us what we should do?"

Paige propped her chin, "I hope you can take a week’s leave. I’ll take you to Islet Labs for training. After a week, you’ll represent Veridia on stage to showcase the cha. How about it?"

"No problem, Sister Paige, we’ll follow your lead!"

My goodness, they were actually chosen by Paige to be the first batch of cha testers. Just thinking about it is thrilling.

The youngsters imdiately went ho to tell their parents about it.

So parents were delighted and agreed imdiately, others expressed concern, while so directly showed disapproval.

"The child just started studying, and now he’s taking a week’s leave. What if he loses focus and goes back to how he was before, who’ll be responsible?"

"Mom, this ti I’m really helping Sister Paige, don’t worry, I’ll continue to study well when I get back."

The child’s father said, "Since the kid wants to go, let him go. That Paige... she’s no ordinary person. Our kid hanging with her for a few days is a blessing."

The mother reluctantly agreed, "Alright then, just be careful and call mom if anything happens."

Later, the child’s mother was extrely grateful she didn’t stubbornly stop her son that day.

A group of teenagers left with Paige.

This week, no one knew what Paige did with this group of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.

Until a week later, when Paige brought them back into the public eye.

The competition caused quite a stir. Not only was it broadcast live across the country, but many foreign journalists and dia also ca, making it a grand event.

Because they anticipated the situation might turn out like this, they eventually chose the stadium as the venue.

The crowd was even larger than the organizers had imagined. Such a scene, no celebrity could match!

There’s no star in Veridia more significant than Paige Sterling now.

The host first invited the foreign research team on stage to introduce and showcase their cha’s functionality.

They believed their cha was far superior to what Paige showcased on an interview program.

And indeed, the audience could see it too.

However, they didn’t know that Paige had held back during the interview program.

After the foreign team finished their display, the host, in a playful mood, first invited a dance team on stage to perform a dance, heating up the atmosphere even more before announcing Paige’s team.

"Now, please welco our representative from Veridia, President Sterling from Penson, to show us her team’s cha research!"

As the host spoke, from the entrance direction ca a group of high school students, wearing school uniforms. They marched in formation, with eyes fixed straight ahead, as solemn as in a parade.

But there was no sign of any cha on them.

The foreign team mbers sneered disdainfully.

But the Veridians present knew well that Paige’s cha was inherently stealthy; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to produce it on command during the interview program.

So, even though they only saw a group of high school students at the mont, they weren’t disappointed and remained excited.

No one knew how Paige trained them in a week. One way or another, the high school students who walked with swagger just a week ago now marched in unison, exhibiting a distinct military aura.

After coming on stage, instead of imdiately showcasing the cha, they perford a choral piece first.

Even the Veridian audience was puzzled by Paige’s tactics.

The foreign research team, seeing this scene, whispered among themselves.

"I thought that Paige was impressive, but never imagined she’d chickened out last minute, bringing a group of high school students to sing. Is she trying to buy ti?"

"Judging by their appearance, they aren’t wearing any cha. Maybe that interview program was just for show, with special effects, and Paige is just a paper tiger..."

"Yeah, yeah, these Veridians are best at this play. Looks like we’ve made this trip for nothing; Veridia doesn’t have any cha after all..."

They sohow regretted revealing their strength prematurely.

Just as the foreign team was discussing, suddenly, a deafening cheer erupted at the scene.

They imdiately turned to look at those high school students and saw that they, who were just singing in school uniforms a mont ago, were now fully clad in armor, even with their faces concealed by the armor.

Moreover, each person’s armor was a different color. While demonstrating their armor, soone soared into the sky, accidentally breaking open a hole in the stadium roof, only to descend from another angle monts later. Another demonstrated the cha’s high-tech electronic screen on the spot, and soone else transford the cha into a race car...

Each perford their own demonstrations, chaotic yet ordered, leaving people dazzled, too exciting to miss a single detail, yet realizing in the end, they couldn’t take it all in.

Because there were so many features, it wasn’t feasible to showcase them all in one go, so only half was demonstrated before it concluded.

The audience present and those watching the broadcast all clamored to see more.

With such flamboyant high-tech, they could watch non-stop for three days and nights!

This was their first true realization of how strong their country’s technological strength was.

And the foreign research team was already stunned.
