In the first half of the basketball ga, A University led T University, the reigning champion for years, with a score of 22 to 13.
The score caused a stir in the audience.
Deputy Principal Zhou wore a livid expression as he harshly criticized, "What are you all doing, how did the first half end up like this, it’s utterly pathetic, William, you’re the captain, tell us what’s going on with you all?"
William, drenched in sweat, was also disheartened, "Deputy Principal Zhou, we’ve tried our best, but this year A University is like they’ve taken stimulants; their firepower is too strong, we can barely hold on..."
"You guys!" Deputy Principal Zhou’s face turned darker.
The entire T University was in gloom, while A University had unleashed their full potential, moving forward in unison, while T University was struggling, already spent in the first half of the ga.
At this mont, Anabelle Rathborne stepped forward and looked at William, "Captain Alden, this is your last year at T University, right? I rember you were given extra points for your basketball skills, earning you a spot for studying abroad, but if you fail to win the championship this year and lose to A University, then all your previous efforts will be wasted."
Anabelle spoke nonchalantly, with a sigh, as if it were a pity.
William’s face turned pale, he looked toward the captain of the neighboring team, Conner Wright, and clenched his fists at his sides.
...
T University was full of worry, while A University was beaming with joy, celebrating their current victory.
Principal Tucker said, "Alright everyone, don’t get cocky yet, play well in the second half. As long as you maintain your current state, the championship is definitely ours this year!"
Everyone was cheering.
Conner Wright left the court and headed to the bathroom.
As soon as he entered the bathroom, a sack was thrown over his head, and his vision went black as nurous fists rained down on him.
This sudden turn of events made Conner struggle quickly, "Who are you guys, let go!"
Then a pair of hands reached in and grabbed Conner’s right arm, twisting it forcefully.
With a crack, the sound of a bone breaking resonated.
Serena Sterling and Tiana Ford were at the court, handing out towels to the players, when soone rushed over, "Principal Tucker, sothing bad happened, Conner Wright was beaten in the bathroom, and his right arm is broken!"
What?
Serena’s long eyelashes trembled a bit, and she quickly followed the crowd running towards the bathroom.
Conner’s situation was quite dire; soone had thrown a sack over him and violently assaulted him. His body was covered in injuries, but the most serious was his right arm.
The school doctor said, "Principal Tucker, Conner Wright’s right arm is severely broken, he can’t return to the court. It’ll take a hundred days to heal from such an injury."
Quickly, a student shouted,
Captain, did you see who attacked you?
The captain is our team’s main player, with the second half starting soon and our main player injured, what are we going to do?
Conner’s face was bruised, and he cursed under his breath, "Who would attack at such a crucial mont and injure my arm, it must be T University behind this!"
Conner made a precise judgnt.
The people from T University also ca, and after hearing this, William quickly said, "You at A University can’t just shoot your mouth off, do you have any evidence? Without evidence, it’s slander and defamation; be careful or I’ll sue you!"
"That’s right, A University’s reputation is already bad, a bunch of rich kids loafing around, who knows if you offended soone outside, we at T University won’t take the bla for this!"
The people from T University completely absolved themselves, claiming A University brought this upon themselves.
As the two sides quarreled fiercely, a clear voice rang out, "Isn’t there surveillance here?"
A University made way as Serena Sterling’s peerlessly beautiful figure stepped forward, her bright clear eyes scanning the crowd from T University.
T University quickly quieted down. Serena Sterling’s eyes glimred with a commanding chill, incredibly intimidating, carrying an imnse power. Everyone who t her gaze felt inexplicably guilty.
At this mont, Serena fixed her gaze on William, "Senior Alden, there are surveillance caras all over Quadrangle Plaza, even if none in the n’s bathroom, there are in the corridors. All we need to do is check the surveillance, and we’ll know who attacked. Don’t you agree?"
William, who had been captivated by Serena when she danced, was now struck by her luminous, penetrating gaze, like a sharp unsheathed sword, its light captivating.
"I..." William suddenly panicked.
At this mont, Anabelle Rathborne arrived, "The surveillance here can’t be accessed; Quadrangle Plaza is under the jurisdiction of the Crawford Group, unless, with the consent of Hayden Crawford."
Anabelle’s arrival seed to give T University a backbone.
Serena and Anabelle stood facing each other; this was their first direct confrontation, and the tension and rivalry between won were no less than between n.
Serena curled her lips slightly, "Alright, I’ll go find Mr. Crawford right now. I believe he will agree to release the surveillance footage."
"Serena, you’d better hurry, the second half is about to start soon," Anabelle kindly reminded.
Injured Conner quickly said, "Now that I’m injured, T University is highly suspect. Before this is cleared up, the second half should be postponed!"
Anabelle looked toward the referee behind her, "The referee decides this issue. Referee, what do you think, do you think it’s worth breaking the rules of the entire basketball ga for an individual?"
The referee frowned, looking displeased at A University’s side, "This basketball ga is held every year, but problems arise when A University is involved. You should reflect on your own issues; the second half will start on schedule."
"You!"
Serena quickly held back Conner and the others, gently shaking her head, her clear voice resonating in the hearts of everyone from A University, "This is the prejudice all have against A University; it’s built over years, not overnight. Instead of complaining, start changing from now on. You all wait here; I’ll go find Mr. Crawford. I will obtain the surveillance, and whoever did this won’t get away!"
Serena turned and left.
Conner, Tiana, and the others were stuck in place; it was their first ti feeling the naked discrimination and injustice against A University, but they had no one to bla but themselves, for their complacency and lack of ambition provided the opportunity for others.
They began to regret.
...
Serena went to find Hayden Crawford, and outside Quadrangle Plaza, she saw the extended Rolls-Royce luxury business car, and soone respectfully opened the rear car door for Hayden to get in.
He was about to leave.
"Mr. Crawford, please wait!" Serena quickly ran forward.
