Chapter 1052
This was the greatest humiliation of his life, a permanent stain on his impeccable record.
And because of it, his hatred for Serena burned even hotter. Gritting his teeth, he violently hurled his beer bottle at the floor. It shattered, sending foam and glass flying across the room.
The explosive sound instantly silenced his friends’ teasing.
“I was caught off guard! That psycho tricked me,” Graves snarled, his eyes dark with malice. “She knows a few dirty tricks and used leverage to pin me before I could react p>
The men could see that Graves was genuinely furious.
They also refused to believe that a female college student-especially a contestant in a nerd competition could actually beat the former combat champion of The Tactical District in a fair fight. To them, these contestants were nothing but fragile, over-educated weaklings.
“A student actually had the nerve to lay a hand on the Chief Arbiter? If we don’t teach her a lesson, no one will respect The Board of Arbiters anymore p>
The men slapped their chests in solidarity. “Don’t worry, Howard. We’ll handle this. We’ll show this little brat exactly where she is and who runs this island p>
“Letting some college girl piss all over The Board of Arbiters? Does she think we’re a joke p>
“If we can’t handle one arrogant student, we might as well hand in our badges. Leave it to us, Howard. What’s her name? We’ll go right now and p>
Before he could finish his sentence, a deafening crash shook the room.
*BANG p>
The sound was so explosive it rattled their eardrums, immediately followed by the heavy thud of something massive hitting the floor.
The men jolted out of their seats, whipping their heads toward the entryway.
The solid wood front door of The Spire had been kicked completely off its hinges. It lay flat on the floor, the lock shattered and splinters scattered across the marble.
Standing in the doorway was a group of contestants.
At the front stood a girl in black tactical pants and a team jacket. Golden sunlight poured in behind her, illuminating a face that was devastatingly beautiful.
She stood with her hands casually tucked into her pockets, exuding a lazy, aristocratic dominance that commanded the room. Behind her, a few young men and women in matching jackets stood in a tight formation.
Graves’ face instantly drained of color. “What the hell do you think you’re doing p>
Serena didn’t acknowledge him. She didn’t even look at the massive men standing around the living room.
She casually strolled inside as if she owned the place, her gaze sweeping over the luxurious interior. She nodded approvingly. “Not bad p>
She turned slightly toward Caleb and the others. “Take everything in here that belongs to Graves and throw it out p>
“Everything p>
Her voice was light, entirely devoid of warmth.
Caleb and the team swallowed hard, still reeling from the shock.
Their captain had literally just kicked the Chief Arbiter’s door off its hinges with a single strike. That was a solid wood security door!
One kick!
As they had marched toward The Spire, they had a sneaking suspicion
about she was planning. When
she actually kicked the door down, their suspicions were confirmed
Now, hearing her order them to toss the Chief’s belongings out onto the
lawn, they knew this was ar net
madness. But looking at their captain’s impossibly confident posture, every ounce of their prior frustration vanished.
“Yes, Captain p>
The team surged into the house.
They scattered, grabbing clothes, bedding, toiletries, and anything else they could
find, aggressively hurling it all out the front door and onto the dirt.
