"No! No! No!"
Bianca leaped out of her chair, screaming. She stared at the giant screen in absolute horror. "Where are my points? Where did they go?!"
Just a minute ago, Dreamscape Alpha had been untouchable, looking down on the rest of the competition from their throne.
How did their score just evaporate?
They were dangerously close to falling below the qualifying line.
Meanwhile, Serena's pathetic little squad was inexplicably surging to the top.
What was going on?
Bianca's mind snapped. Her eyes turned red with fury as she whipped around, glaring venomously at Serena. "It's you! You did this, didn't you?"
"You're cheating! This is absolute cheating!"
She screeched at the top of her lungs. "Serena, you have no shame! Do you know what kind of competition this is? How dare you cheat? You're a disgrace to Marington!"
"Referee, I want to report her! Report her!"
She pointed a shaking finger at Serena, her shrill voice making everyone wince. "She's using illegal methods to hack our system and steal our points!"
"I demand you disqualify her immediately! Cheaters don't deserve to compete!"
Official Barrett was just as bewildered.
In all his years of overseeing matches, he had never seen anything like this.
He had taken the Doyle family's money. His job was to protect Dreamscape Alpha at all costs.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, he sprinted over to Serena's station. "Hope Initiative, cease all operations immediately!"
"What you are doing is a severe violation of the rules! You are maliciously attacking another team's system! You are destroying the spirit of the gauntlet!"
