Chapter 1255
“As long as they can’t hold back, the more trouble they stir up, the more flaws they’ll expose p>
“When things blow up, a few scapegoats won’t be enough to take the fall. The entire Severian government will be humiliated p>
“They won’t be able to cover it up p>
Lydia Brooks grew more and more excited as she spoke.
The other Elyndor representatives caught onto Lydia’s analysis and instantly understood.
With fanatical gleams in their eyes, they looked at Serena, nodding in agreement.
“Right, why didn’t I think of that? Our Captain never intended to just deal with those petty thugs from the start p>
“No wonder Captain seemed to be just waiting for them to make a move p>
“The higher they jump, the harder they fall p>
The more they thought about it, the more sense it made. Their eyes sparkled as they stared at Serena.
Lydia looked at her with pure adoration, an expression that screamed she knew their Captain was the smartest person in the world.
Serena chuckled at her expression. “You could say that p>
She had indeed let them jump around on purpose.
Because she had long followed the trail and locked onto the Prescott family.
The Prescotts in Severia were just like the Doyle family in Elyndor-they were dogs working for the Obsidian Sun.
The only thing she hadn’t fully confirmed was whether the Prescotts’ hostility toward Elyndor was purely their own independent action driven by profit and spite, or if the Obsidian Sun was using the Prescotts as a blade to target her specifically.
But none of that mattered.
Serena’s primary goal was to use this incredible opportunity at the competition.
She was going to completely map out the inner workings of this international medical and technological hub.
Earlier, when the organizing
committee staff had taken them to familiarize themselves with the venue, Serena had appeared lazy and distracted, but she had actually
swept her gaze over the entire open area.
The competition zones open to international representatives were indeed normal academic environments.
But based on her night infiltration of the tech center yesterday, the more normal it looked, the more it seemed like it had been deliberately sanitized for public viewing.
The more normal it was, the more unnatural it truly was.
Serena narrowed her eyes slightly.
As she had walked through earlier, she did notice something subtle.
In a seemingly ordinary transitional area on the southeast side of the competition zone, the network signal strength and latency were
completely different from the rest of the building.
Not only that, the security personnel stationed nearby-judging by their posture and
muscle reactions-were absolutely not standard rent-a-cops.
They were highly trained, the kind who had blood on their hands.
Serena immediately thought of the hidden elevator she had found during her night infiltration.
The same area.
Unusual signal coverage.
Abnormally elite security.
And the Obsidian Sun intranet deep underground, which she hadn’t fully cracked yet p>
Her gaze darkened.
It seemed the rat’s tail had finally shown itself.
Since she had noticed the anomaly, now was the best time to investigate.
After all, the official competition would start tomorrow. Once all the comprehensive surveillance and security measures were activated, pulling off any little tricks would be as hard as scaling the heavens.
Right now, during the equipment familiarization phase, was the time when the security system would be at its weakest.
So, halfway through the equipment tour, Serena made an excuse to use the restroom.
