Purple Fairy kept silent.
She could not disapprove more of his new idea.
Biting her lip and smiling bitterly, she said, “Mr. Sun, I need to go to the restroom.”
Sun Linan nodded.
With a gloomy expression, she left the event venue and headed for the backstage.
Qiao Lian’s hand was in pain by now, and it would not stop trembling.
Not even when she held her trembling hand with her other hand.
Su Penghao looked at her with concern. “Are you still able to play?”
Qiao Lian gritted her teeth and nodded.
Even if her hand was crippled, she would not abandon the fight!
The G.o.dfather and The Deputy G.o.dfather hung their heads and sighed. “In that final group battle, if I had been faster to dodge their ultimate attack, we might have had a chance to turn the situation around.”
“It was my fault for not having protected you.”
“Actually it was my fault. In my nervousness, I stood too much to the front.”
They all looked humble, completely unlike how some other teams would react after losing a fight. They weren’t the slightest bit exasperated or fl.u.s.tered.
Qiao Lian looked at them and she suddenly laughed.
She was so proud of this compet.i.tive team.
As they talked, the room door suddenly burst open. Purple Fairy stood at the doorway, staring at all of them.
“I say, has the CQ team shown off enough?! It was obvious you were losing, yet you have to put on such a disgusting act! Let me tell you this, even if you attract more fans for yourselves, winners will be winners and losers will be losers!”
After falling out with Zombie Leader, Purple Fairy had been less and less cordial, and increasingly not caring about their opinion.
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes after Purple Fairy spoke.
Their team had fought hard and had taken the compet.i.tion seriously, but to her it was all a staged act?
This Purple Fairy…
“This is CQ Team’s lounge, please leave.”
Qiao Lian icily ordered her to leave.
Purple Fairy squinted her eyes. “My advice to you would be just to give up the second round and not waste everyone’s time!”
Qiao Lian replied, “In a compet.i.tion, there exists only one scenario for us. As long as the tower stands, the team will stand and fight. Giving up is a term not found in our dictionary!”
Purple Fairy stamped her foot angrily and raised a finger to point at Qiao Lian. “Great, this is great! Then let’s see you continue to fight with your crippled hand!”
She glared at everyone in the room in turn and then left in a huff.
After she left, the team members in the room began to feel their blood boil.
“This Purple Fairy is getting to be too much!”
“Look at her arrogance. I’d like to win this compet.i.tion just so that it feels like a slap to her face!”
“Let’s put in our best effort!”
“Yes!”
The second round of the match began.
The team that won two out of the three rounds would be the winner.
Which meant that if CQ lost this round, then King Fighting Team would emerge the champion of this compet.i.tion.
Qiao Lian focused, gritted her teeth and chose the champion Xiao Qiao, which she was an expert at.
When she selected this character, the entire fighting team was stirred up for a moment.
Xiao Qiao was famed for playing Xiao Qiao.
And the champion Xiao Qiao was difficult to maneuver. For that reason, Qiao Lian had hardly used this champion in the first few rounds.
Now…
Xiao Qiao, who had disappeared for the last eight years, finally made an appearance.
It felt as though an elusive fighting master had resurfaced.
The G.o.dfather and The Deputy G.o.dfather had not fully recovered from their injuries and were unable to play their best.
Qiao Lian could only place her remaining stakes on Xiao Qiao.
If she took this gamble and her hand held up, then the team could win.
If she could not hold up, then her Xiao Qiao would be exposed to the opponent’s attacks and the team would lose the match!
