Chapter 1227

“Serena Lancaster p>

Phelps ground the Elyndorian woman’s name between his teeth.

His gaze turned increasingly venomous.

Since that bitch had completely humiliated him, he was going to make sure her life became a living hell.

He spun on his heel and marched back to his sports car.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, he immediately leveraged the Prescott family’s vast

resources.

He reached out to a high-ranking official on the Organizing Committee who had worked with the Prescotts on multiple occasions.

By offering a massive bribe and dangling the threat of the Prescott family’s influence in Severia, Phelps successfully secured the man’s loyalty.

Then, he submitted an anonymous report to The Security Regulatory Oversight Division.

The accusation was devastatingly malicious.

“Serena Lancaster, Captain of the Elyndorian representative team, is suspected of hoarding globally banned neural-stimulant drugs to artificially enhance her competitive performance. We request The Security Regulatory Oversight Division conduct an immediate investigation to ensure fairness in the tournament p>

It was a deeply underhanded move.

Regardless of whether they actually found anything, the mere fact that officials raided an Elyndorian competitor’s room for banned substances would spread like wildfire.

Even if she was proven innocent, the suspicion would linger.

If she performed flawlessly in the upcoming matches, people would always wonder

if she was secretly relying on drugs.

That was exactly what Phelps wanted.

He didn’t care about uncovering the truth.

He just wanted to completely destroy the Elyndorian team’s reputation.

Less than half an hour later.

Chief Arbiter Terrence Voss, the official Phelps had bought off, arrived at the Skyline Seven-Star Hotel with a squad of heavily built tournament security guards.

They marched in aggressively, making no attempt to hide their presence.

The moment t they entered the lobby, Voss raised his voice for all to hear.

“We have received and is use!

report! We suspect Elyndorian competitor Serena Lancaster possessing banned

neural-stimulants. To maintain the absolute integrity of the Global Elite Challenge, we are conducting an immediate, unannounced search of her room. We expect everyone’s full cooperation p>

The commotion was massive.

All the Elyndorian competitors relaxing in the first-floor lounge heard the vicious accusation.

“Bullshit! Who reported that p>

“Our Captain hoarding banned drugs? Are you out of your minds p>

“Why the hell would she need something like that? Who are you trying to insult p>

“Our Captain can crush your pathetic Severian team with her bare hands. Why would she need drugs p>

“This is straight-up slander p>

“What’s the matter? You Severians realize you can’t win, so you resort to this dirty underhanded crap p>

The entire Elyndorian team erupted in fury.

Fueled by righteous anger, they rushed forward, fearlessly forming a human barricade in front of the tournament security.

Not a single student backed down, nor did anyone flinch at the sight of the Chief Arbiter.

They knew better than anyone that Serena wouldn’t stoop to such tactics.

Neural-stimulants? With her

tour

skill level, no one this

ment was even worthy

forcing her to use outside help.

Hearing them fiercely defend their captain while dragging Severia’s name through

the mud made Voss’s face darken.

He was already feeling guilty for

taking the bribe, and being openly defied by a group of students only made him more defensive. “Silencel he snapped harshly.

He put on a cold, professional front. “The Organizing Committee received a report,

and it is our duty to investigate p>

“This is all for the absolute fairness of the competition p>

“If you continue to block our path, you are actively obstructing an official investigation p>
