Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1383

The Elyndorian competitors' faces instantly darkened.

They took a synchronized step forward. "We are the Elyndorian National Team, and we are the people Captain Serena Lancaster trained."

"If we don't have the right to defend her, then what right do you have to judge her? You didn't even watch the live streams, and you have absolutely no idea what really happened in Severia!"

The woman's face cycled between a sickly green and stark white.

One of her friends couldn't help but snap back, "It was just a school competition! Stop acting like you went to war."

"A school competition?" The Elyndorian team burst into bitter laughter. "Do you have any idea how many countries formed alliances specifically to slaughter the Elyndorian team?"

"Do you know how many times the Severian organizers rigged the system to destroy us?"

"Do you know that if Captain Serena Lancaster hadn't been there, not a single one of us would be standing in this room right now?!"

The women were rendered entirely speechless by the sheer venom in their voices. "We... we didn't say anything bad..."

Suddenly, a stern, booming voice echoed across the hall. "If you are ignorant of the facts, keep your mouths shut."

The group whipped their heads around.

A formidable procession of Marington College professors was marching straight toward them.

Leading the pack was none other than the national treasure himself, the head of Elyndor's core research initiatives—Mr. Harrison!

And walking right beside him was the famously elusive President of Marington College!

The wealthy socialites nearly jumped out of their skin, instantly shrinking back in terror.

Mr. Harrison's face was rigid with fury. He let out a sharp scoff. "Let me make this perfectly clear. Serena Lancaster's performance in that international arena will be immortalized in Marington College's history."

"Furthermore, she didn't just represent the college. She is the undeniable face of Elyndor's future scientific dominance."

With the national team and the elite academics fiercely defending her, the petty gossip was violently crushed.

A short distance away.

Arthur Harrison watched the scene unfold, slowly taking a sip of his wine. "They certainly know how to build hype."

Beside him, Clarissa Harrison frowned, staring at the fiercely loyal students and professors. "Dad, if the entire Marington College faculty is protecting her like this, she must have some real skills."

Arthur was entirely unimpressed. "It's normal for a kid to have a little talent. But in medicine and research, inflating an ego is a death sentence."

"The Lancasters are building her a throne she can't handle. It's only going to make her arrogant and blind to her own limits."

Clarissa didn't argue.

Instead, a malicious glint of anticipation settled in her eyes.
