Chapter 600: Chapter 360: Instant Kill! Instant Kill! [Second Update]

However, under Camilo Nogueira’s half-smiling glance, each shout was weaker than the last.

Camilo Nogueira pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Near the restroom at Entrance 3 of the venue, there are some students causing trouble. Get a few security guards to clear them out. Check if any of them are participating students; disqualify that team from the competition immediately."

With that simple sentence, Camilo Nogueira hung up the phone.

The youngsters: "..."

Too frightened by the situation to utter a sound.

A few of them, realizing things were amiss, shrank their necks and silently retreated, trying to slip away.

But with a sweep of Camilo Nogueira’s gaze, they seemed rooted to the spot, their legs filled with lead, unable to move an inch.

Security arrived promptly, appearing in less than two minutes. After politely greeting Camilo Nogueira, they escorted the terrified students away.

They departed.

Camilo Nogueira heard movement behind him, turned around, and saw Crystal Hughes attempting to leave.

A bit annoyed, Camilo Nogueira frowned and spoke, "Aren’t you going to say something?"

Caught trying to sneak away.

Crystal Hughes was slightly startled, turned her head, and glanced at him.

"Thank you."

Her voice was quick and soft, slightly hoarse, as if she just wanted to wrap things up and leave quickly.

She attempted to leave.

But her arm was seized, and a figure loomed in front of her, easily pinning her against the wall.

He lowered his eyes, his expression filled with tender affection, the thin eyelids unable to mask the deep feelings in his eyes. He said softly, "Call me once more?"

"You——"

Recalling the unintentional call earlier, Crystal Hughes gritted her teeth.

Pressed tightly against the wall, through the fabric of her dress, she tried to lean back, creating distance from him, but couldn’t escape his presence.

A flush of red silently crept up to her ears.

Suppressing it as best as she could, she avoided looking at him, her voice cool and somewhat harsh, "I’ve made it clear to you, Andrew has nothing to do with you."

Camilo Nogueira replied lightly, "I’m not concerned about that."

"..."

Crystal Hughes went speechless.

"I checked; you’re currently single." Camilo Nogueira looked at her seriously, his voice lowered yet each word deliberate and powerful, "Crystal Hughes, I think, this time, it’s my turn to pursue you."

Crystal Hughes was stunned, startled, and raised her eyes hastily.

Pausing, she suppressed her emotions and forced herself to calm, "There’s no chance for us."

"I’ve thought it over carefully," Camilo Nogueira hooked her chin, making her look him in the eyes, his expression determined and firm, "When you pursued me, you didn’t ask for my consent."

Crystal Hughes was taken aback.

*

She only returned when the competition started, a bit out of sorts, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Absent-minded.

Camilo Nogueira was nowhere to be seen.

Nora Scott noticed but asked nothing.

"Sis!"

Oliver Scott stood in the aisle a few rows below, waving at Nora Scott.

He said, "Come down here, the view is better."

Looking at Oliver Scott, Nora Scott tilted her head towards Andrew Hughes and Crystal Hughes, asking, "Shall we go down?"

Crystal Hughes was off in her own world, not hearing Nora Scott, unresponsive.

Andrew Hughes looked up at Crystal Hughes, then at Nora Scott, shaking his head.

——He wanted to stay with his mom.

Understanding Andrew Hughes’s intention, Nora Scott smiled lightly, patted his head, and then got up to head down.

"Sis, aren’t Andrew and Miss Hughes coming down?"

With one hand in his pocket, Oliver Scott asked curiously.

"Mm."

"Oh."

Oliver Scott didn’t ask further.

Leading Nora Scott, Oliver Scott found a sparsely populated spot with a good angle near the railing.

Standing to one side, Nora Scott immediately asked, "When is Marcus Shaw’s turn?"

"Third round."

"Oh."

Nora Scott responded.

She didn’t let the topic die, casually asking about some mecha knowledge, having Oliver Scott explain. Meanwhile, she pulled out two candies given by Andrew Hughes, handing one to Oliver Scott.

"Sis, you eat this too?"

Taking the candy, Oliver Scott’s attention was instantly diverted by a seemingly ordinary candy.

"..." Pausing, Nora Scott furrowed her brow and said, "Given by Andrew."

"Oh."

Oliver Scott didn’t suspect anything.

Soon, he shifted half a step aside, holding the candy between his fingers, raised it, and asked with a smile, "Sis, do you know what brand this candy is?"

"?"

Nora Scott looked at the wrapper with slight confusion.

Shan Ci.

It seemed like a snack brand, which Nora Scott quite liked.

After a two-second pause, sensing the deeper meaning in Oliver Scott’s words, she didn’t answer, simply asked, "Why?"

Oliver Scott rubbed his nose.

"Ahem," Oliver Scott cleared his throat, saying, "Ten years ago, Dad started a snack brand called ’Shan Ci’..."

Nora Scott looked up.

Oliver Scott continued, "Besides snacks, he also sells toys, stationery, drinks, and such. Since childhood, my snacks and stationery were all covered by him. Not a single penny spent."

"Free of charge?"

Nora Scott asked skeptically.

"Yeah." Oliver Scott nodded, "Until I was seven, the house was always stocked with snacks and stationery, endless supply. It got better after seven, fearing my sister and I would... er, eat too much junk food, bad for health."

"...Mm."

Poor health is one thing.

Eating too much ruins your appetite, and coming across Marcus Shaw’s grim face—that’s the real disaster.

Gazing over Nora Scott’s face, Oliver Scott chuckled, "If you want some, I’ll tell Dad."

"No need——"

Nora Scott was about to decline.

However, Oliver Scott quickly interjected before she could, "Dad misses you a lot."

This was the main point.

Ernesto Scott wanted Nora Scott to come live for a few days, though she hadn’t been back for two months.

Trying to connect with Nora Scott, but always failing to find a common topic.

Every time Oliver Scott came home, Ernesto Scott would grill him for ages, "How’s your sister’s mood" "Is your sister’s work going smoothly" "Is your sister eating three meals a day on time" ... and the like, over and over, tirelessly.

Sometimes, when Oliver Scott went home on weekends, Ernesto Scott would ask disparagingly, "Why didn’t you visit your sister?"

Although Ernesto Scott was obviously biased, Oliver Scott couldn’t help but pity him.

Of the three family members——

Alma Ferreira, who divorced Ernesto Scott and returned to the Ferreira Family;

Sophie Scott, who never came home after that dispute and stopped talking to Oliver Scott;

And...

Ernesto Scott, who was desperate to get closer to Nora Scott but never found a way.

For the first two, Oliver Scott was powerless.

Only with Ernesto Scott could Oliver Scott say a few words, find a bit of significance.

"Mm."

Unwrapping the candy, Nora Scott put it in her mouth.

The mint-flavored candy tasted clean and crisp, not too sweet, just to her liking.

Oliver Scott was instantly delighted, "Then should I tell him?"

"Mm."

Handing the wrapper to him, Nora Scott raised an eyebrow and nodded.

At that moment——

The venue erupted in cheers.

"Wow - instant kill! Instant kill! Insane!"

"Such amazing control!"

"Which school is that C3 mecha from?"

"I remember it’s... First Affiliated High School?"

"Isn’t the operator from First Affiliated High School supposed to be Oliver Scott? Who’s in the Affiliated School uniform?"

"Don’t know! Quite handsome though!"

...

The commotion centered around students from various schools.

And——

The stir was caused by the machine labeled "C3," codenamed "Golden Lightning."

As the third round started, five machines were destroyed in under a minute by "Golden Lightning," rendered inoperative.

The melee ended before it even began.

Amazement struck the crowd.
