" The First High School's victory is almost a foregone conclusion, and our situation is extremely dangerous."
On Cosmic Street, inside buildings that imitated ancient Eastern countries, five leaders of the No Head Dragon Organization sat at a table with dark faces, contemplating the serious consequences of First High School winning first place.
"If the First High School really wins the championship at this rate, our losses will exceed 100 million yuan!"
"And the unit will be US dollars!"
After the person at the head of the table spoke, the middle-aged man next to him crossed his arms, his face also looking very ugly, and his eyes revealing a hint of fear.
"Stop joking!"
Are we really going to give up like this?!
"This is practically sitting and waiting to die!"
Do you understand the terrible consequences?
Compared to the middle-aged man who had just spoken, this seemingly gentlemanly fellow was far more pathetic. His voice trembled with a hint of excitement, but more so with fear—a fear of being devoured by some horrible monster!
"Such enormous losses cannot be met with a quick and painless death."
"The best outcome would be becoming a half-dead, half-alive Generator."
A man in a white suit, holding a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he spoke, glancing at his bodyguard wearing sunglasses beside him when he mentioned the word ' Generator '.
His words silenced everyone.
The five people present, as high-ranking members of the organization, were used to a life of luxury and ease. Neither becoming a producer nor dying was an acceptable path for them.
As for betraying the organization, they never even considered it. They knew very well what happened to those who betrayed the organization—a fate more terrifying than death.
"There's no other choice now, is there?"
"That's right!"
"That's exactly right!"
"For our survival, even if the methods are too radical, it's unavoidable. We're already standing on the edge of a cliff, and we don't need to have any more scruples!"
"Even if customers have suspicions, as long as there's no evidence, we can easily find an excuse to smooth things over!"
"That's right!"
"Go and inform our inside contact!"
"Tomorrow's ' Mirage Bat ' competition has caused all the students from First High School to forfeit midway!"
"It must be mandatory!"
"If I'm lucky, I might survive; otherwise..."
"Then you can only say they were unlucky!"
August 11th.
The main competition, Mirage Bat, Match 1.
"Is it Kobayakawa -senpai's first match?"
Tatsuya Shiba, Chiba Yeyou, Miyuki Shiba, and Mari Watanabe ethnic minority member, are still watching the match here.
"The senior seems very motivated!"
Looking at Kobayakawa's eager expression on the field, Miyuki Shiba couldn't help but say something.
"Here we go!"
As Chiba Yeyou finished Kanon, the competition officially began.
" Kobayakawa's skills are quite good, and I think she should have no problem getting off to a winning start in this match."
Mari Watanabe said with absolute certainty.
She had some understanding of Kobayakawa's abilities.
I don't think so!
Chiba Yeyou's words drew everyone's attention.
"Why?"
Mari Watanabe was very puzzled.
"Didn't you notice that someone has been transferred to the area in charge of our First High School?"
"It's so mysterious, "Chiba Yeyou said.
"Who?"
Mari Watanabe was somewhat taken aback by this sudden question.
You mean that person!
Miyuki Shiba and Tatsuya Shiba exchanged a glance and said in unison.
"What!"
"That guy was actually transferred to be in charge of our area?"
Mari Watanabe also realized what was happening.
"Doesn't that mean Kobayakawa is in danger?"
"No, this match must be paused!"
Mari Watanabe immediately became restless and turned to go to the Operations Committee to forcibly stop the race.
"Alright."
Chiba Yeyou grabbed Mari Watanabe.
"How?"
Seeing Mari Watanabe's expectant look, Chiba Yeyou felt a little helpless. She should have waited until later to explain.
"We need proof that this person tampered with the parts!"
"Besides, we can't confirm whether Kobayakawa -senpai's CAD file has been tampered with. If they have, it means these people have gone to extremes and won't just target Kobayakawa -senpai. Do you understand?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mari Watanabe with a serious expression.
But what about Kobayakawa?
Why do you think I'm watching this game instead of helping you debug your CAD in the back?
Chiba Yeyou's words were quite clear, and Mari Watanabe finally understood.
"Guess who their next target would be if something happened to Kobayakawa?"
Upon hearing Chiba Yeyou's words, Mari Watanabe's expression changed; she knew she was definitely next!
Last time, they failed to take down Mari Watanabe in the " Battle Board," and this time, they absolutely cannot allow such a formidable force from First High School to continue to win in the Mirage Bat " competition.
"Don't worry, Mizuki is keeping an eye on things too!"
Tatsuya Shiba offered words of comfort.
Mari Watanabe had also heard about Mizuki Shibata's abilities, and this arrangement could indeed ensure Kobayakawa's safety to the greatest extent possible.
There's a problem!
Chiba Yeyou's Quantum Domain was constantly active, and it was quite obvious that Kobayakawa's CAD was exhibiting abnormal behavior.
Kobayakawa, who was holding the CAD, was also stunned, because the CAD was not obeying her commands, and she was in mid-air preparing to change her position. If she fell into the water from this angle, she would either die or be seriously injured!
" Tatsuya, I saw a strange light flash across Kobayakawa -senpai's CAD screen!"
Meanwhile, Mizuki Shibata also gave feedback.
Chiba Yeyou didn't look at Kobayakawa because someone was guarding her. As long as there were no unexpected incidents, she wouldn't be in any danger. Chiba Yeyou was currently worried that her presence might cause the original course of events to change unexpectedly, such as the person who was supposed to make a move not doing so.
"Really!"
Mari Watanabe immediately rushed out.
It still happened!
Chiba Yeyou thought to herself.
How is she?
Chiba Yeyou approached Mari Watanabe and looked at the unconscious Kobayakawa.
"He's not in mortal danger, he's just temporarily unconscious."
"That's what Mari Watanabe replied."
"Lend me your spare CAD file for the competition."
"Thank you for your help!"
Mari Watanabe's eyes were filled with coldness, not at Chiba Yeyou, but at the guy who had pulled the strings.
"Do you need my help?"
Tatsuya Shiba hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"That won't be necessary. You keep an eye on this place, just in case they get desperate and cause trouble here while I'm dealing with things on my end. After all, we can't determine if there are any of their people hiding among these individuals."
"Those guys won't give up until they achieve their goal."
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
