Sophia directly opened TikTok, and after just a little while, her eyes changed from doubt to anger, as if she had been deceived.
The Great Shaw Empire posted the full story on TikTok, and it was exactly as the audience had said — there was nothing fake about it.
When she was in the secret realm of the Fallen God, leading other Reclassers from the Azurecloud Empire to fight the three-headed dragon Ronald, Miles had indeed been slapped by Aiden.
But the reason wasn’t what Miles had said. Instead, it was because Miles had not only delayed Aiden’s team from chasing the Demon nobles, but he had also threatened them with words and said so really rude things.
Sophia’s fingers trembled as she clicked on the comnts section of the video. After reading just a few comnts, she suddenly gripped her phone tightly.
Comnts on the video said:
"Disgusting."
"Exactly, the people from the Azurecloud Empire ran into a lot of Demons first and needed help. Then the people from the Great Shaw Empire ca to help, but they left them behind."
"If I were in that situation, I wouldn’t help the Azurecloud Empire Reclassers again, even if they were really in danger."
"Right, and that Miles is really disgusting. If he hadn’t gotten in the way of the Great Shaw Empire Reclassers killing the Demons, maybe the Great Shaw Empire people would have changed their minds."
"Good for him! Aiden’s slap really made feel good. You should treat people like Miles like that!"
"Now look at the video Miles posted—he’s a total clown!"
"You’re right! The Reclassers from the Azurecloud Empire are all fools. They believed Miles’ words and should be the ones apologizing to Aiden!"
Sophia’s face turned dark, and her fingers were so tight that they turned white.
She was full of anger and also felt guilty toward Aiden.
Thinking about everything she had done before, she wanted to run up to Miles right then and slap him a few tis.
Miles, standing in the golden lotus, felt Sophia’s eyes on him. He felt very confused and thought to himself:
"Maybe my teacher thinks I shouldn’t have stopped fighting just now?"
Quickly, he took out his phone and typed a ssage to Sophia.
[Teacher, don’t worry. I’m not really scared of Aiden. Once the team competition starts, I’ll really show my power and lead the team to win the championship.]
Sophia was very important to Miles, because she was the daughter of a level 98 Reclasser from the Azurecloud Empire.
In fact, a big part of why Miles had beco the most famous genius Reclasser in the Azurecloud Empire was because of Sophia.
When Miles saw Sophia look at her phone, he quickly typed another ssage.
Just as he was about to send it, he saw Sophia had forwarded him a video.
He just opened it for a few seconds and was completely frozen. His whole body trembled, and he felt dizzy. Everything around him seed extrely unreal.
The Great Shaw Empire had actually shown the real story in such a way.
Everything he had said was proven to be a lie.
"No, this can’t be true. I don’t believe it!" His body moved on its own, and he took a few steps back. He almost fell off the golden lotus.
His teammates, seeing this, all reached out to catch him and asked with concern:
"Hey, captain, are you okay?"
"Aiden just won for now. Once the team match starts, we’ll be able to..."
He didn’t finish his sentence. One of his teammates saw the ssage on Miles’ phone and imdiately froze.
The other teammates also realized sothing was wrong. Without thinking, they reached for their phones to see what was going on.
Miles jumped, quickly grabbed the phone of the teammate next to him, and knocked it out of his hands.
"Don’t look! None of you look!"
"It’s fake! All those videos online are fake!"
Miles finally understood why Sophia had looked at him like that earlier.
But that wasn’t the worst part. If Calvin saw the video from the Great Shaw Empire, he was really in trouble.
Because back then, he had lied to Calvin, which caused the fight between Calvin and Aiden, and everything that followed.
"No way, I have to do sothing. I have to do sothing, or I’m done for!" Miles’ mind was working fast.
If he didn’t fix this, Sophia and Calvin would never forgive him.
And the people of the Azurecloud Empire who used to support him so much would now hate him, even despise him.
But after thinking again and again, Miles couldn’t co up with any good idea.
"Damn it, if I could go back, I would have been much more careful and left no evidence at all!" Miles was full of regret.
He wasn’t sorry for what he had done, but for not doing it better.
At that mont, the fans from the Great Shaw Empire in the audience also saw the video.
Their expressions were full of excitent. They shouted at the fans from the Azurecloud Empire:
"You guys are all fools. You were all tricked by Miles!"
"Haha, I always knew the truth would co out in the end!"
"Didn’t you all shout your support for Miles just now? Why are you all silent now?"
"Yeah, look at Aiden’s performance! He did sothing no other genius could do! And look at Miles—he didn’t even fight Aiden yet, and he already gave up!"
"General Aiden is the real genius!"
"Now, all the viewers around the world will know the truth. They will all see how much potential and power General Aiden has!"
The fans from the Azurecloud Empire heard this, and couldn’t help but turn around and shout at Miles:
"Monster!"
"It’s all your fault! You were wrong, but you lied to us and led our opinions. You really went too far!"
"Miles, you have no right to represent the Azurecloud Empire in the Global Reclasser Exchange Competition!"
"You’re right, you’re the most shaless and dirty guy!"
That wasn’t enough. So fans from the Azurecloud Empire even took off their shoes and threw them at Miles.
Even Miles’ teammates, who were not very smart, now probably understood what was going on.
They quietly took a few steps back, lowered their heads, and pretended not to see anything.
After all, they had also thought, for a long ti, that things were exactly as Miles had said.
But now that they knew the truth, they also felt so anger toward Miles.
"Ugh, this way, we might get blad too," one of the Azurecloud Empire players muttered quietly.
Miles didn’t say anything.
He just slightly raised his head, watching Aiden’s back—the back of a winner, the back that was being praised and accepted by the whole world.
"Why, why! Aiden, now everyone is cursing , but you are standing under the spotlight, enjoying the praise and the applause!"
"It’s all your fault! It’s all because of you! Why couldn’t you do what I wanted you to do?"
"Kill him!"
"I will kill you! It’s all your fault!" Miles’ eyes turned red, and his nails dug into his flesh, blood slowly flowing out.
At that mont, hearing the crowd’s insults, Aiden clearly knew that Luke’s side had already made their move.
He slowly turned his head, a small smile on his lips, and looked at Miles, who was in a terrible state.
Miles was slightly shocked, unsure of what the smile on Aiden’s face ant.
In the next mont, he saw a pair of huge tal wings suddenly appear behind Aiden, along with a red cloak.
Then, Aiden slowly rose into the air and, to Miles’ surprise, landed back on the golden lotus where he was.
Many caras quickly turned to follow, and the big screen changed its view accordingly.
"What are you going to do?" Miles asked, his teeth clenched.
Aiden smiled and said directly, "What else can I do? I just ca to mock you, of course. And maybe let more people see how pitiful, how shaful, and how much of a failure you are."
Aiden had never said he was a good person, or a kind one.
If he didn’t humiliate Miles now, would he choose to forgive this damn guy?
Besides, if the situation were reversed, and it was Miles facing this, he would have been even worse.
That was certain.
"Are you being too cruel?" Miles’ eyes were full of hatred, but behind that hatred was a deep, hidden pain.
He was the most famous genius Reclasser in the Azurecloud Empire, how could he have ended up like this—being cursed by his own country’s fans, and now being openly humiliated by Aiden?
Aiden heard Miles’ words and shook his head slowly. "Not at all," he said.
"Compared to what you did, I’m just here to make you feel even worse. Is that too much?"
"So things you can do, why can’t I?
Miles took a deep breath. He stared hard at Aiden. Suddenly, an idea ca to him, and he said:
"Aiden, you and I are different. The reason I did those things was because I was desperate to save people. And at that ti, you hit , so I had so anger toward you..."
"You’re a good person. You’re a hero of the Great Shaw Empire, and a genius Reclasser everyone respects. People like you must be able to forgive the mistake I made because of my impatience, right?"
"I’m sorry. I really know I was wrong now," Miles said, slowly bowing to Aiden.
He thought in his heart: "Stay calm. I must hold on! It’s all worth it. Aiden has to die!"
Aiden, who was listening to Miles’ apology, slowly lost his smile. His expression turned serious and thoughtful.
