Chapter 713 Double Standards

The Bide Cup was famous for its strict rules during the competition.

During the Bide Cup, participants were not allowed to get involved in negative news, and in serious cases, their qualifications would be directly revoked.

If the conflict were to escalate today, it would likely result in the committee kicking them out of the competition. The professors understood the seriousness of the situation and did their best to restrain the impulsive young researchers.

Eamon grabbed Marshall’s sleeve, his voice filled with anger as he said, ” Professor Hartley, they are deliberately humiliating us.”

Marshall, with a stern face, looked extremely displeased. “Do you think I’m deaf?”

After being scolded by Marshall, Eamon fell silent.

Then, Marshall said earnestly, “I know you’re feeling angry, but if you really resort to violence, you’ll be falling into their trap! These foreigners look like a bunch of fools, but in fact, they are quite cunning. They are deliberately provoking you!”

Eamon found Marshall’s words quite reasonable, gradually calming down. He was unwilling to fall for the other party’s tricks. ” Professor Hartley is right. We should calm down!”

Although things had calmed down on Styre University’s side, the team from Johnville had no intention of stopping there. Their noise and insults from their side only grew louder and more offensive.

Eamon, the researchers, and even Marshall and the other mentors were struggling to contain their urge to explode with rage.

Several mentors kept a close watch on these impulsive students, but they missed Catherine.

Catherine sat there playing on her phone as the surrounding noise grew louder. The voice of the researcher named Edson was particularly grating, giving her a headache.

Suddenly, Catherine stood up.

Amelia was startled, thinking Catherine was about to confront someone. However, Catherine turned and entered the nearby restroom, causing Amelia to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Catherine emerged from the restroom the next moment, holding a toilet plunger in her hand.

No one present knew what Catherine was up to, but they saw her walk directly toward Edson with the plunger in hand.

Seeing a beautiful woman approaching, Edson was about to strike up a conversation, as he was quite fond of Catherine’s appearance. But before he could say anything, a dark shadow suddenly descended upon his face, accompanied by a foul stench, as a massive toilet plunger was firmly jammed into his mouth.

To ensure it was secure, Catherine pressed down the plunger several times, making it adhere tightly to Edson’s face. “Your mouth stinks so much, and it needs to be sealed!”

With a strong push, Catherine knocked Edson to the ground.

The people around were dumbfounded. Catherine’s actions were so fast and domineering that they couldn’t even process what was happening.

Although people from Styre University were shocked by Catherine’s actions, they felt a deep sense of satisfaction. After all, what she said was true- Edson’s mouth really stank and deserved to be shut up like that.

Edson was still trying to remove the plunger from his mouth, but it was stuck to his face as if it were embedded in his head. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.

Finally, Edson’s teammates came to their senses and rushed forward, demanding an explanation from Styre University. The situation escalated, and the commotion spread throughout the entire hotel.

Catherine, however, sat quietly as if nothing had happened. After dealing with Edson, she continued playing games, completely ignoring the commotion around her.

As the argument between the two sides escalated, Paddy seemed extremely angry about Catherine’s reaction and couldn’t help but start complaining again, “Why doesn’t she clean up the mess she’s caused? The incident started because of her, and not only does she not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but she also makes it worse. I really don’t understand what she’s thinking about!”

Fergus noticed Marshall’s displeased expression and quickly rebuked Paddy, “What nonsense are you spouting? Is this the time for our own people to start a fight?”

Faced with Fergus’s reprimand, Paddy was very dissatisfied. “Professor Lynch, this is a big deal. What if it ends up affecting our entire team, and we have to withdraw from the competition?”

Paddy’s concerns made the people around him look very grim, as this was also their biggest worry at the moment. Many of them joined Paddy in complaining, exclaiming that Catherine’s actions were too impulsive.

Although Marshall and the others were angry, they currently had no way to deal with the situation. The commotion was too serious, even alerting the organizing committee of the Bide Cup.

The Theisian people demanded that the organizing committee give them an explanation. Several members of the judging committee were from Theisia, so they would naturally speak from their perspective.

After learning that Catherine was the one causing trouble, several staff members of the organizing committee approached her. “Please come with us.”

When Marshall saw Catherine being taken away, he hurried forward, but Catherine stopped him. “Professor Hartley, I’ll be back in a moment!”

Catherine had a calm expression on her face. Although Marshall felt worried, he chose to respect her decision.

Catherine hadn’t left yet, but Paddy and his group began shouting from behind, “Apologize properly! Don’t ruin our chances to compete!”

Hearing this, Catherine stopped in her tracks, turned around, and fixed her gaze on Paddy. Despite her low, icy voice, every person present could hear her clearly. “Only the weak need to apologize.”

Catherine’s words landed heavily in everyone’s hearts like a hammer. As she had said, their fear of being disqualified by the organizing committee stemmed from their lack of strength and inability to stand firm. If they had the strength of the world’s best at that moment, why would they need to worry about being kicked out? Perhaps the organizing committee would be begging them to participate.

As Catherine walked away, Paddy looked at her departing figure and muttered, “That woman is just being stubborn.”

Catherine followed the organizing committee members into the office, and then the leader of the Theisian Team also went in. Watching so many people, Marshall couldn’t help but feel anxious for Catherine. He wanted to follow her in but was stopped by the university’s leaders.

“Marshall, it’s useless. We can’t go in right now!”

The university had tried to get someone to go in with Catherine, but the committee members refused. They didn’t allow the representative from Styre University to enter, yet the people from the Theisian side came and went freely.

Such double standards made Marshall and the others very angry, but they were helpless. Traveling all the way from Eskana to Alton, they didn’t want to lose their chance to compete because of this situation. They anxiously gazed at the office, wishing they had X-ray vision to see what was happening inside.
