Chapter 741 After the Game

Halfway through the game, the Ace Team was leading all the way, while the Styre Team was still struggling to study the experiment steps in the early stages.

There was no miracle. At this pace, the Styre Team was going to lose for sure. However, under the leadership of Catherine, the Styre Team seemed to have not seen the incoming failure and was still proceeding with the game in order, utterly unaffected by the external.

Many audiences lost the desire to watch the game. A game without a cliffhanger was not worth watching. As the mentor of the Ace Team, Atticus even began to doze off in front of the global camera, showing his contempt and disdain for his opponent in this final.

The members of the Ace Team also showed great disdain for the Styre Team upon seeing this. However, they were not as careless as the Johnville Team. They would not relax on such a significant occasion. They never thought of the Styre Team as their opponent. The only one they wanted to defeat was themselves. So they were focused through the whole game.

As the game drew to an end, the Ace Team took the lead in completing the experimental project. They rang the bell. Surprisingly, the Styre Team also rang the bell.

The powerful sound impressed everyone. They almost focused all their attention on the Ace Team’s superb skills, which was more like a performance than an experiment. They didn’t even look at the Styre Team. And no one noticed when they completed the experiment.

Both sides had announced the completion of the experiments, and the judges required team members from both sides to submit their results before exiting the laboratory. The result would soon be out on site.

The Ace Team had started celebrating in advance that they had once again won the Bide Cup championship. And in everyone’s eyes, this match was already over.

Atticus hugged the team members while provocatively looking at Catherine. “Catherine, when I met you at Styre University, I appreciated your abilities. If you had been willing to follow me before, now you would have become a member of the Ace Team, successfully standing on the Bide Cup championship and receiving the highest honor. Unfortunately, you are too stubborn and disobedient. And you are going to pay for that.”

Catherine sat calmly on the bench, looking at Atticus, who was arrogant and constantly provoking. She didn’t even want to speak a single word to him.

Unfortunately, Atticus was not quite observant. He kept provoking when Catherine ignored him. “Catherine, you used to be arrogant. Why are you speechless now? Let me tell you, if you’re willing to obediently admit your mistake to me now and reflect deeply on what you’ve done before, I might show mercy and write a recommendation letter for you and make you a substitute member of the Ace Team.”

When people heard Atticus’s words, they began to envy Catherine. It was known that countless students in the scientific research community had set their life goals as entering the Ace Team, the beat team of Alton. As long as one could enter the Ace Team, one could access the world’s top projects, the most advanced experimental equipment, and the most advanced experimental topics. It could be said that the students of the Ace Team were a group of people standing at the top of the science pyramid.

Viola, who proposed to replace Catherine with Marlon, was outraged after hearing what Atticus said. She could not understand why so many people appreciated Catherine. She thought Catherine did not deserve it.

Thinking of this, she was so jealous of everything Catherine had. She turned to the people next to her and said, “No wonder Catherine insisted on finishing the game, knowing she would lose, so that the mentor of the Ace Team would see her and invite her to his team. What a heartless woman to sacrifice the whole team for her benefit. The Styre Team was humiliated because of her.”

Hearing what she said, many people changed their attitude toward Catherine from jealousy to hatred.

They did not understand why Catherine was invited to the Ace Team even after she lost the game. But they seemed to replace the answer in Viola’s words.

There were increasing voices of dissatisfaction and questioning towards Catherine. Catherine, the subject of discussion, seemed to have shielded herself from the external and sat expressionless.

Viola became even more excessive when she saw Catherine remain silent. She pointed at Catherine and asked, ” Are you wordless because you feel guilty? Where’s your pride?”

Amelia could not bear to watch her shouting anymore. She was about to stand up and talk back when a voice from behind distracted her.

“I thought I heard a cow mooing at the door. So it was you yelling,” said Ronin, walking forward slowly with his arms crossed.

Branden was walking in front of him expressionlessly, identical to Catherine.

Hearing Ronin’s words, Viola blushed scarlet.

Calling her a cow in public was insulting. Viola suppressed her anger and retorted, “You are on the same boat with Catherine. You only want to save her from embarrassment by teasing me. That’s immoral.”

Ronin did not retort her. He put his arm on Amelia’s shoulder and asked, ” Amelia, do you know what ‘have a cow’ means?”

Amelia paused, not knowing Ronin’s intention. Ronin pointed at Viola and said, “She’s explaining it to you vividly.

Amelia figured out Ronin’s wordplay. She could not help but laugh out loud.

Viola’s face darkened, pointing at Ronin angrily. “How dare you!”

Seeing that she was not taking any advantage, she turned to Marshall. “Do you see that, Professor Hartley? Ronin is so filthy that he doesn’t deserve to be in Styre University.”

Marshall didn’t even glance at her, making his attitude very obvious.

Viola wanted to continue, but Branden did not give her a chance. “You have the nerves to shout here after you sold your teammates for benefits.”

What he said puzzled everyone. They focused on Branden, not knowing why he suddenly said such words.

Viola fidgeted about out of guilty conscience while Branden had not even said anything explosive. She asked, ” What do you mean?”

Branden did not even bother to answer her question. Paxton stepped up and said, “Mr. Duncan didn’t say anything yet. Why are you so eager to admit?”
