Zhou Bugui’s face darkened. They had fought so hard and for such a long time, yet they had not even seen the armband at all.

Almost instantly, Zhou Bugui’s sinister gaze turned towards the black and white teams. He laughed coldly as he said, “What is the point of making such a useless struggle? Do you think that everything is over so long as you hide the armband? I advise you to hand it over, so that you won’t be asking for trouble.”

It also stunned the black and white teams. Looking at their empty elbows, the leaders had unpleasant looks on their faces.

“Zhou Bugui, don’t be unreasonable. We have never removed our armbands. Since we have taken part in the battle simulation, we also understand the rules, so why would we hide the armbands?”

“You guys didn’t hide them? Then how about you explain the whereabouts of your armbands?” Zhou Bugui continued.

Then, a young man from the blue team said, “I have indeed seen the armbands on their elbows just now. They were still there when the match started, why was it that... they have disappeared now?”

Zhou Bugui’s facial expression changed. During the heated battle just now, it was impossible for the black and white teams to have sufficient time to keep the arm bands.

But...

Why had the armbands disappeared with no reason?

Almost instantly, all three teams were immersed in a suppressed silence.

“If it was not us, and not you guys, then where did your armbands go?” Zhou Bugui’s brows furrowed tightly. The situation before his eyes had far exceeded his expectations.

“Then how about I ask you, we have fought for such a long time previously and there was never any issue with the armbands. Instead, when you guys appeared so aggressively, they went missing. If it wasn’t for your underhanded tricks, who else could it be?” the leader of the white team scoffed. He looked at the four people from the blue team with distaste, as he had already assumed that the blue team was the culprit who had now wanted to play to play the blame game.

Zhou Bugui’s face was so ashened that it was almost dripping with water. He scanned with his cold glare at the eight people from the black and white teams. Suddenly, an almost impossible conjecture emerged in his mind.

Immediately, he turned around and scanned the surrounding grass and trees. However, he did not notice any abnormality and turned back to look at the two teams.

“Since I am already here, it shows that I have already expressed my intentions, so why do I have to trick you all? We really did not take your armbands. To be honest, not only did we not take your armbands, even our armbands have been stolen some time ago.”

After Zhou Bugui said this, everyone in the black and white teams were taken aback. They finally realised that all the people in the blue teams really did not have any armbands at all.

The blue team’s armbands were stolen?

It was naturally not the two teams’ doing, so the only possibility left was...

“Red team?” the leader of the black team probed.

Zhou Bugui’s face darkened even more, as he said through his clenched teeth. “The red team stole our armbands.”

“Red team? But wasn’t there someone called Ji Fengyan in red team?” the white team leader was shocked. There was only Liu Kai who was considered with above average capabilities in the red team, whereas the other young men were mediocre. And the reason for the red team to be least highly thought of was because of Ji Fengyan, who looked extremely frail and feeble. Ji Fengyan was youngest among her batch and she was also a girl.

Upon hearing Ji Fengyan’s name, everyone in the blue team felt a tingling sensation in their head.

Zhou Bugui had even spouted unknowingly as he broke out in cold sweat, “Ji Fengyan? Let me tell you, it’s your loss mistake to belittle her. That young lad was practically disguising herself as weak and she had an air of eccentricity...”
