Chapter 1005
The ultimate grand finale for the Doyle family would be delivered to them on the global stage.
Taking Bianca out now?
Where was the fun in that?
Just look at her.
Watching Bianca fume with furious, impotent rage was incredibly entertaining.
No doubt, the Doyle family executives watching from the shadows had the exact same priceless expression.
The real show hadn’t even started yet.
“We won p>
“We won p>
Caleb, Jasper, and Vanessa hugged each other, tears of pure joy streaming down their faces.
Lydia practically skipped over to Serena, her eyes red, her voice thick with emotion. “Captain… we won. We actually won p>
Serena stood up, a faint smile touching her lips. “Yes, we did p>
Hearing their cheers and staring at that blindingly humiliating scoreboard, Bianca trembled uncontrollably.
She grabbed her keyboard and smashed it violently against the floor.
“I don’t accept this p>
She snatched the team microphone, her shrill voice echoing through the entire stadium. “I demand a full investigation of their equipment! I demand a review of their backend data p>
“Everyone saw it! She only showed up in the last fifteen minutes. During that entire time, her team didn’t answer a single question p>
“How an you gain points without answering questions? How place? She even deducted our points p>
you take first
“This is undeniable cheating! She used banned external software! If the organizers cannot provide a logical explanation, none of the competitors will accept this result p>
Her eyes were bloodshot, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.
She was the heiress of the Doyle family.
She had brought the most elite team, armed with top-tier equipment, only to be crushed by a bunch of impoverished scholarship kids?
And it wasn’t just a loss. It was an absolute massacre.
They had forced her into the very last qualifying spot.
It was the equivalent of grinding her face into the dirt.
She refused to accept it.
Her screaming brought the stunned audience and the other competitors out of their trance.
She had a point.
What they had just witnessed defied all logic.
Everyone here was in the tech field.
Who had ever seen a high-stakes, international-level competition where typing a few lines of code literally wiped out the opposing team’s points?
In just a few minutes, The Hope
Initiative surged from last
first, and actively dragged the reigning champions down to th
brink of elimination.
That didn’t look like code written by a human.
If it wasn’t cheating, there was only one other explanation: their Captain, Serena Lancaster, possessed coding skills that completely eclipsed the, comprehension of everyone in the room.
But she was just a college girl.
That was clearly impossible.
Furthermore, human nature dictates that it is far easier to accuse someone of
cheating than to admit they are an untouchable genius.
“Could they really be using a hack p>
“I know the gauntlet allows offensive tactics, but outright altering scores is a bit much p>
“They definitely need to investigate. An international event like this has to be completely fair and transparent p>
Murmurs spread like wildfire.
Seeing the court of public opinion sway in her favor, Bianca’s
confidence. surged. “We must
inspect their equipment and pull Weir data logs if they are proven t be cheaters, they must be
disqualified, publicly shamed, and
permanently banned from
competing p>
Isabella stood quietly to the side. Though she didn’t speak, she looked at Serena’s
team with clear disapproval, even offering a soft, theatrical sigh.
The outrage was getting too loud to ignore.
The organizers themselves were highly suspicious of Serena’s stunt.
Even though their backend system hadn’t triggered any alarms for hacks or plugins, they felt obligated to check.
Faced with the accusations of the entire arena, Serena remained perfectly unfazed. She gave a lazy wave of her hand, her tone utterly indifferent. “Be my guest p>
