Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 990

This tournament was the only chance for the scholarship students to turn their lives around.

If they lost.

If they didn't even survive the first round.

She wouldn't just be letting down the Captain—she'd be letting down herself and everyone who had fought so hard to get here.

"It's fine," Serena said, her voice entirely undisturbed. "Even without us, Caleb and the others can secure a victory in the first round. You need to trust them."

Lydia clenched her fists. "You're right! Even without us, Caleb, Vanessa, and Jasper are brilliant. They definitely won't lose!"

Lydia scrambled toward the back of the motorcycle. "Captain, let's go! We need to rush to the stadium! We might still make it in time to help out!"

But Serena didn't make a move to get on the bike.

Instead, she checked her watch. "Three minutes left."

"Huh?" Lydia looked at her in confusion.

Three minutes for what?

Was the Captain waiting for someone?

Serena didn't explain. She simply gestured for Lydia to stand by the bike. "Wait here."

Without another word, she turned and walked back toward the abandoned factory.

But she didn't head for the main entrance.

Instead, she slipped around the side of the building.

The area was choked with towering weeds, entirely ignored by whoever maintained the cover operation.

But hidden beneath the overgrowth was a row of rusted electrical boxes.

They looked completely ordinary.

Serena waded through the weeds and brushed the dirt off the nearest box.

The lock showed clear signs of being picked—something she had done casually when she first arrived.

This electrical box was the main power and network relay for the Subterranean Bio-Lab operating beneath their feet.
