Outside.
The viewing room within the opera house-style building.
“Pfft…”
“Hehehe…”
Sandra broke into a laugh, finally something had occurred that lifted her spirits.
Dispelling the gloom that had previously set in.
She teased the grim man, who was team leader of Shadow City and looked like he was about to drip water, “Are you people of Shadow City so understanding? Surrender as soon you can’t win, really… you take the path less traveled.”
The grim man, upon hearing her words, showed an oddly brightened expression. He didn’t appear angry, instead, he laughed. “I actually appreciate that captain quite a lot. She knows her own strengths and that she is not up to the mark. Unlike some people who stare upwards all day but can’t gauge the true strength of their own subordinates, yet pride themselves on being exceptional.”
This sentence was full of sarcasm and pointed implications.
Clearly, when Link alone defeated an entire team from the Flame and Metal Trading Company, Sandra’s shocked expression was remembered by this grim man.
He used this to mock Sondra’s obliviousness, countering her.
“Humph!”
Sandra’s face remained unchanged, but she didn’t concede. She laughed, “I don’t believe that you won’t punish this team that surrendered voluntarily.”
“No, never!”
The grim man, perhaps out of sheer stubbornness or some other reasons, firmly asserted, “Not only will I not punish them, I will reward them! Because they have protected the precious talent of Shadow City.”
“I hope you’re not just putting up a strong show. Let’s see if you will slap your own face later.”
Sandra flipped a beans-sized bead in her palm with a triumphant look on her face. “I’ve recorded the stance you just took.”
The grim man suddenly felt as if he’d swallowed a fly, sickness overpowering him.
His expression became increasingly grim, as if not simply dripping with water, rather, like a torrential rain.
He didn’t expect that Sandra would set such a trap for him to hop into so quickly.
If he said the grim man didn’t have the thought of punishing Christina and her team to vent his own humiliation, it wouldn’t be consistent with his character.
Not to mention awarding them.
He had only been humiliated by Sandra before and said a few face-saving words.
Now, he was caught in her web, in a difficult situation.
If he were to impose punishment, he would become a mean backstabbing villain.
If he awarded as promised, his anger would fester even more and could lead to further humiliation.
The more the grim man thought about it, the angrier he became.
Really… too hateful!
The grim man gritted his teeth, turned his head, and stopped looking at Sandra who was laughing smugly.
Sandra’s laughter became even more gleeful.
Lanny, on the side, keenly noticed something wasn’t right.
The conversation between Link and Christina seemed too fluid, too seamless.
But she did not say anything.
Not only because it was not the right occasion to tell Sandra about this discovery, but also because she did not want to tell Sandra.
From now on, she had to start thinking for herself more!
The team leader from Mesopotamia University suddenly did something that shocked everyone in the room.
He took out the button that every team leader had, set it to the “Surrender” option, exercised his team leader rights, and pressed hard.
Mesopotamia University surrenders in the team match!
The next moment, the four teams of Mesopotamia University, who were still trying to advance to the center of the competition area, all got teleported out of the Desolate World through rays of white light falling from the sky.
In just one to two minutes, fifty beams of light fell and created quite an uproar.
The attention of everyone was immediately drawn.
Especially since the beams were dropped at different locations, leaving the remaining teams baffled.
What kind of accident happened?
How did so many teams get eliminated at the same time?
“Are you sick?”
The “Scholar” of the White Tower Alliance turned to look at the team leader of Mesopotamia University and asked seriously, “I have medicine, do you want some?”
The team leader of Mesopotamia University ignored the maniacal raving of the “Scholar”, stood up, and walked up to Sandra.
After a moment of eye contact with Sandra, he spoke seriously, “There are many things that cannot be forced by man, we must conform to the state of affairs. We don’t really want to have a dispute with you. For this competition, we won’t participate any further. If we have to cut down on ‘education resources’, then so be it. I just hope you can relay our stance to the higher-ups.”
Having said that, the team leader of Mesopotamia University left the viewing room.
His lackeys hurriedly followed him, leaving together.
In the room remained four stunned team leaders wondering why the team leader of Mesopotamia University would suddenly make such an unusual move, and three lackeys with their own thoughts.
Even though Link Grande’s attacking power was indeed sensational, what about his defense?
There hasn’t been any demonstration of his defensive abilities yet.
If his defense wasn’t exceptionally strong, he could still potentially be killed with careful planning.
The worst-case scenario was to try to kill him with several more lives.
Anyway, the First Level Wizards participating in the competition were not true members of the core families or factions of their respective organizations.
Even if a few good seeds from small and medium-sized families fall, so be it.
Give those small and medium-sized families some subsidies in the name of the organization, commend them a bit, everything could be smoothed over.
Why should they surrender and lose, and miss the opportunity for no reason.
The match world.
“What happened?”
The members of “Anything Goes”, who were about to advance to the center of the competition area again, witnessed the spectacular scene of forty teleportation beams simultaneously falling down.
