The participants of these competitions were mostly professional gamers and it was rare to see odd champions chosen.
One could say with certainty that amongst all the banned champions in the competition, there was not one similar to Su Penghao’s ambush pick.
Hence, one could be quite sure that the team’s ambush strategy had been exposed.
Su Penghao stood up immediately. He clenched his fist and slammed the table.
He gripped the mouse tightly with anger, staring straight at Qiao Lian with bloodshot eyes!


As both of them were wearing their earpieces, they were able to communicate directly.
Qiao Lian immediately made a gesture with her hands and shook her head.
It wasn’t me, you—

He did not let her finish before he sneered at her. Then, turning around, he was about to walk away.
Casting everything aside, she got out of her seat and started to walk towards him.
The rest of the team was stupefied.
For the last few days, the team had trained for this strategy in seclusion and isolation. But now their key champion had been banned?
Without this champion, any combination would be a joke!
Seeing that Su Penghao leave so abruptly, the team members stood up too, watching him with confused expressions on their faces.
Qiao Lian briskly strode over to them and grabbed Su Penghao, asking,
What are you doing?

Su Penghao shook her grip off. Pushing her away, he sneered,
What am I doing? How are we going to play this game? We have a coach who betrayed us. Even if we won this round, it’s meaningless!



Qiao Lian lowered her voice and retorted,
I didn’t do this, believe it or not, it’s up to you. But right now, I’m ordering you to get back on that stage and fight!


Fight? You have the audacity to say fight! Do you know that for the last two days, the five of us stuck together so that we could execute this formation and produce an exciting match?


Now you’re forcing me back on stage! Is that to trigger King Team so that you can see how they kill us off and how good they are?

Su Penghao was trembling with anger by now and his eyes were bloodshot. When he spoke, it was as though he was spitting fire.
From the side, an organizing staff member started to approach them, asking,
Is there a problem? Are you having any issues?

Before Qiao Lian could speak, Su Penghao said angrily,
I’m not playing in this competition! it’s a walkover!

The staff members were stunned.
But why? This—

Su Penghao interrupted them with a derisive laugh. Then he turned to walk away.
Seeing that this was happening, Qiao Lian suddenly shouted,
You stay right there!

Her angry tone caused Su Penghao to pause for a moment and turn back to look at her.


They stared at each other in the eyes.
For unknown reasons, when Su Penghao’s extreme anger and senseless behavior met with Qiao Lian’s determined but sorrowful expression, he started to calm down.
It was hard to say how she was feeling… exhausted, uninspired, and perhaps somewhat unwilling to take things as they were.
She did not understand it. Why was it so difficult to play a fair, transparent and ethical game?
Purple Fairy had not only caused trouble repeatedly, she had made a negative impact on the fairness in the eSports competition.
But having gone through so much in life, Qiao Lian could accept this fact.
There were such people in this world.
They would break rules and use unscrupulous means to get what they wanted.
But the truly strong people were unafraid of these ghosts and ghouls.
She looked at Su Penghao steadily and asked,
Are you really willing to admit defeat just like that?
