Chapter 492: Chapter 133 Spinning a Web of One’s Own Making_3
Don’t you feel embarrassed when you say these words?
Have some shame!”
The four team leaders did have some decency and didn’t negate Sandra’s words with fallacious arguments.
They merely chose to expose their motives when pushed into a corner.
And the one who stoked this confrontation was none other than Ravensmouth College’s long-standing ally, Mesopotamia University.
The leader of Mesopotamia University resolutely declared,
“If you insist on Link Grande participating in individual matches, Mesopotamia University will continue to forfeit.
Then we will appeal to the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell, requesting this competition’s results be considered invalid.
We ask that the distribution of ‘educational resources’ for the next 15 years be reconsidered.”
“I concur! Shadow City stands with Mesopotamia University.”
The cold, male leader of Shadow City was quick on the uptake, voicing his stance.
“The White Tower Alliance joins.”
“The scholar” leisurely opened a voluminous book and commented.
“Why would the Flame and Metal Trading Company miss out on such a lively affair? We too, will throw in our lot.”
The Three-point Witch, Verna, decided to fan the flames, making things even more intense.
Massive pressures immediately descended upon Sandra.
The Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell was undeniably the most invested in suppressing Ravensmouth College.
If they were dragged into this matter, there would undoubtedly be severe repercussions for Ravensmouth College.
When all faculty and students were scurrying around for resources necessary in the promotion of the Great Sage Seuss, the amount of ‘educational resources’ allocated by the Supreme Council was of vital importance.
Watching Sandra trapped in this imbroglio, Lanny Taylor couldn’t help but feel nervous for her.
It wasn’t out of loyalty, but as an observer, she noticed a blind spot.
If Sandra missed this point leading to a poor counteract, both University and Link’s interests could suffer heavily.
From any perspective, Lanny didn’t want to see that happen.
Just as Lanny was considering whether to take the risk and remind Sandra, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The leader of Mesopotamia University called out loudly.
The door opened and in walked the leader’s personal attendant.
“What is it?”
The leader glanced at the attendant and asked loudly in what seemed to be a deliberate effort.
“Report, the Dean has an urgent matter.”
“Proceed.”
“Yes.”
The attendant swallowed and, under heavy scrutinizing gazes, kept his tone steady and recited: “Lucia’s Family has defected to our side en masse. Ensure the safety of Lucia’s competitors, preventing them from falling foul of Ravensmouth College.”
Before the details of the urgent matter were finished, it caused a massive stir.
The Three-point Witch, Verna, burst into wild laughter.
Her grudge about losing the bet, which required her to record a video bad-mouthing Shadow City, was completely swept away.
It had been many years since the West Coast had seen a massive betrayal of an entire family.
And it happened between Ravensmouth College and Mesopotamia University, who had been allied for many long years.
It was preposterous!
The cold leader of Shadow City was furrowing his eyebrows, sensing something amiss.
Simply defecting like this?
Seemed too easy.
There had to be some hidden information.
The White Tower Alliance’s “scholar” shut his thick book abruptly, closed his eyes and recollected several events and conversations that had taken place during their team battles.
“Determining life and death.”
“Someone has to make a sacrifice, why not me?”
“It’s none of your business, fight a match, take responsibility for your life.”
The real intentions of that Lucia had been accurately guessed by Link Grande.
Knowing he wasn’t a match for Link Grande, yet anxiously asking for a fight, he was indeed concentrating on dying.
It was one of the letters of introduction Lucia’s Family gave to Mesopotamia University.
If they wanted to defect, they needed to cut off ties.
Whether killing the extraordinary genius of Ravensmouth College or not, at least they showed their stance and were even willing to sacrifice their junior genius.
To earn Mesopotamia University’s trust, this sacrifice wouldn’t be enough.
Other aspects undoubtedly had bigger things happening concurrently.
In the Colosseum-style building.
When Link returned to his room from the competition world, he discovered a message from the Serene Wizard blocked for over an hour on his personal smart interface:
“Lucia’s Family leaked the coordinates of Fairy World. Palo’s legions have plunged into the Abyss Demon’s encirclement.”
“Kill all of Lucia’s!”
