Chapter 220 The Disqualification


    It wasn''t the member''s fault, but Zelena''s own personal issue with Six. Not a single penny of the payment should be missed.


    However, Zelena had already invested so much, and it was undoubtedly a huge loss to her.


    She had already spent a lot of money recruiting Six from the ck market, paying club members to join the team, bribing Hattie''s team members, and dealing with the fallout from the Kaylee incident, which cost her nearly a hundred thousand dors!


    Now, all that money was gone, and so was her ranking.


    The more Zelena thought about it, the angrier she got.


    In a fit of rage, she swept everything off the table.


    ---


    Exiting the lounge, the director turned to his assistant and firmly stated, "Issue an immediate announcement on the official website disqualifying Team Eternal Warriors and banning them from all futurepetitions."


    The assistant, visibly worried, responded, "But this willpletely disrupt thepetition schedule. With only three teams left, how will we proceed?" The director was equally troubled.


    This was a live broadcast. Changing the rules now will cause major problems, not to mention disrupting the broadcast schedule and sponsor advertisements.


    After a moment of contemtion, the director made a decision. "We''ll switch to a round-robin format with the three remaining teams. Adjust the previously drawn numbers ordingly, having two teamspete first, followed by the winner against the remaining team."


    This would be like a round-robin.


    First, determine the first ce, then the remaining two teams willpete, and the winner will be in second ce.


    "It''s our only option now," the assistant agreed.


    The director urged, "Quickly inform the other teams to prepare. We''re on a tighter schedule now. Tell them to use the restroom if needed and get ready topete!"


    "Got it."


    The assistant hurried away to notify the remaining three teams in their respective lounges.


    Meanwhile, Violeta monitored online reactions to the leaked information.


    She knew that Zelena was facing a major crisis.


    It was truly curious how she would clear her name from this school violence scandal.


    Her career hung in the bnce, depending on how she handled the school violence allegations.


    The assistant knocked on Violeta''s lounge door and said urgently, "Are you ready? You''ll be on stage soon."


    Violeta put away her phone. "Understood."


    The assistant rushed to inform the other teams.


    Evelyn''s team, originally ted topete second, was surprised to learn they were now up next and confused about the sudden disqualification of Team Nice.


    "Team ''Eternal Warriors'' qualification got canceled? What happened?"


    Vol.ne


    They looked at each other and said, "If ''Eternal Warriors'' is out, the numbers will shift, so we''ll be against ''The Mighty Dragons again?"


    This would be the second time "The Spring Blossom" faced "Fierce Dragons".


    Evelyn and her teammates were silent.


    They had experienced Violeta and her team''s strength during the previous rounds.


    Evelyn, as the captain, quickly rallied


    her team. "It is what it is. We''re team


    number three, so we have to


    el


    compete. Let''s stay calm and focused, regardless of the oue."


    Within minutes, MLSS''s official website urgently posted an announcement.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    They dered the disqualification of Team Eternal Warriors.


    In the lounge, Zelena anxiously read the announcement and the mixed reactions fromizens, nervously biting her nails.


    D*mn it!!!


    While manyments praised


    MLSS''s decision, others expressed sympathy for the remaining Eternal


    Warriors'' members who were


    unfairly affected by Zelena''s actions.


    Viewers had witnessed their skills throughout thepetition, and it was unfortunate they wouldn''t make it to the finals.


    With the team''s disqualification, the other four members had no reason to stay.


    "Ms. Reid, we''ll be leaving now.


    "Please contact our boss directly if any further matters arise," they said.


    With that, they left the lounge one after another.


    Zelena was now alone.


    She sat in silence, contemting her options.


    Momentster, Hattie and her teammates passed by the lounge. Hattie, her head held high, cast a sideways nce at Zelena.


    She had just learned of Zelena''s disqualification due to school violence.


    Hattie sneered inwardly, guessing that someone must be working against Zelena behind the scenes.


    "You all go ahead. I''ll join you in a moment."


    "Alright."


    The teammates headed to the live broadcast area first.


    Hattie lightly kicked open the half-closed lounge door with her toe, then walked in with her arms crossed. With a calm, dismissive tone, Hattie remarked, "Lena, looks like you''re in quite a predicament." Zelena whipped around, ring at Hattie. "This is a setup against me! It''s Violeta and Kaylee. I know it!"
