Chapter 193: Chapter 193: The Tables Turn, Qi Jie: I Don’t Need Your Award
The judges from the Olympiad group couldn’t sit still anymore.
They all got up and walked over to them.
"You just said there was evidence, where is it?" The elderly man stared at him seriously and spoke sternly.
Being stared at by the elderly man like that, Hank was so nervous his palms began to sweat.
He glanced at Wes and then said, word by word, "Last night, I saw Claire leaving the hotel. I was curious and followed her, and then saw someone handing her a document, saying it was some answers."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone’s expressions began to change. Thinking of today’s results, everything suddenly made sense.
So Claire Green scored full marks because she knew the answers beforehand.
For a moment, Z Country’s audience watching the competition were extremely disappointed.
Anger and humiliation overwhelmed them, and the comments became filled with hostility.
[Damn, how can she cheat in an international competition? This is like shoving Z Country’s face in front of others to be slapped.]
[I just praised her earlier, turns out she’s a cheating dog.]
[Get lost, Z Country doesn’t have people like that.]
The scene became even more tumultuous.
All the insults were directed at the girl.
Harsh words made Daisy Cooper and her group frown.
Ryder looked at the girl who was calmly as if nothing was wrong and raised an eyebrow.
She’s quite composed.
Listening to the insults directed at Claire Green, Olivia Song’s eyes showed pride, though she also scorned the fickle crowd.
One moment these people were praising Claire Green, and the next they forgot their words and were insulting her without hesitation.
This is what is known as people’s nature; it’s the easiest thing to ruin someone’s reputation.
...
"Claire Green, do you have anything to explain?"
The elderly man didn’t just listen to one side; instead, he turned to look at the girl.
Seeing the girl’s calm expression, there was admiration in his eyes. Unperturbed by honor or disgrace, quite an interesting little girl.
Claire Green chuckled, her eyes dark and coldness on the corners of her eyebrows.
"Even such a problem deserves it."
Her voice was chilly and disdainful.
Listening to her words, Xavier felt helpless. He knew it was impossible for Claire Green to cheat, but saying this would offend all the examination creators.
Just as he was about to speak, the elderly man laughed, "Quite arrogant, then— I have an exam paper here. If you can complete it and score full marks, I will believe you haven’t cheated."
Just after he finished speaking, Miller Wes stepped out.
"Elder Edgar, I fear that’s not right. Since she’s already cheated, her results should be invalidated and she should be expelled from the scene, how could she get another chance?"
"Wes is right, someone who cheats like this doesn’t deserve to compete with us."
"If everyone were to cheat for full marks like her, international awards would all go to Z Country."
Aside from Logan, the other M Country participants voiced their agreement, their mouths full of sarcasm.
Suddenly.
Olivia Song, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"No wonder Green wasn’t doing much problem-solving before coming, seems that’s why."
She seemed to realize something as she looked at the girl, malice swiftly passing deep in her eyes.
[Even her schoolmates have spoken out; those who believed her face must hurt now.]
[Damn, Brightsong School is so trashy, both participants in the competition are cheating dogs.]
[I’m suddenly suspecting whether she cheated in the last joint exam as well.]
That’s human nature, only believing what they hear themselves, never considering how their words spoken in anger can harm others.
"Olivia Song, what nonsense are you saying?" Xavier reprimanded darkly.
Normally, the two don’t get along, but he’d ignore it. Now, it’s at the Olympiad competition site, and a family member digging a hole for another, regardless of the outcome, is enough to disgrace Z Country.
"Director, I know you value Green, but she’s now cheating, we can’t shelter her."
Olivia Song seemed deeply wronged, her eyes reddening, she spoke softly.
Listening to these words.
Miller Wes’s arrogance surged, "No wonder yesterday she was so boastful, thought she was so formidable. Say, is cheating your Z Country tradition?"
Suddenly.
He was kicked and flipped onto the ground.
"Want to say it again?" The girl kicked him, her eyebrows sharp with a fierce look.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone.
After a moment.
Rosen reacted, reminding, "Claire Green, fighting during the competition will result in disqualification regardless of exam performance."
He thought saying that would make the girl restrain herself, but he didn’t expect the girl before him was unlike others.
"When did kicking a beast count as fighting," Claire Green raised an eyebrow, the corners of her eyes red, wild and unruly, "Just a medal, and really think I’m lacking."
Xavier was about to kneel internally, "Can’t you bear it a little, my ancestor? Maybe you’re not lacking a medal, but Z Country is."
"Claire Green," Miller Wes got up from the ground, rubbing where he was kicked, glaring at the girl.
"Want to get kicked again?" Claire Green smiled faintly, the thin curve carrying a chilling coldness, "Don’t worry, let’s watch something interesting first."
Her gaze was ambiguous as she gave the few of them a glance, making Olivia Song and others suddenly feel ominous.
As soon as her words fell.
The images on the two large screens changed abruptly, followed by a video with mosaicked faces.
Seeing the familiar environment in the video, Olivia Song’s face turned pale. How could it be? She had clearly checked there was no surveillance.
The burst of events made everyone unsure how to react and only seriously watched the video.
Although the voice in the video was processed, what the male and female said shocked all personnel from various countries.
No one expected someone would come up with such a plan to deal with a girl.
Hearing the conversation, Daisy Cooper and her group had an obscurely cold expression as they looked at Olivia Song.
Then the scene shifted, a low dialogue sounded. Watching the screen, Miller Wes’s pupils contracted, his heart finally surged with fear.
Until the video ended, Claire Green lazily lowered her eyes, "Quite an impressive show, don’t you all think so?"
Elder Edgar’s face looked displeased. It was the first time they’ve encountered such an issue during their many hosted competitions.
"I think you all need to provide us an explanation."
Xavier’s expression was equally sour. Although the footage was mosaicked, he couldn’t think of anyone else apart from Olivia Song who had a grudge against Claire Green.
But for the reputation of Z Country, he could only suppress his anger.
"Rest assured, in this incident, our Olympiad group will definitely give Z Country a satisfactory resolution."
After watching the video, no one questioned Claire Green anymore.
But right then.
Claire Green suddenly snatched the pen from Daisy Cooper’s hand, walked over to a nearby table, and bent to write.
Her actions baffled everyone, who all wondered what the girl was doing.
Until the camera zoomed in on the girl, and the contents on paper came into view.
The densely packed problem-solving methods made people’s scalps tingle.
After a moment.
She set down the pen, spoke casually, "For these level problems, I can provide you multiple solutions."
Elder Edgar stepped forward to see, his expression stalled because, as she said, each problem had at least five solutions provided by her.
After a moment.
He sighed, "Sure enough, the young are to be reckoned with. Today’s competition I declare Claire Green as first place. Regarding the finals, we’ll start that after handling the video incident."
With those words.
The venue fell silent and still, everyone’s faces took on awkward expressions because in the previous second they were insulting Claire Green, and now they’ve had their faces slapped directly.
Really hurts.
