Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1716 - 1619: Withdrawal from the Competition

However, Huo Sining didn’t really pay attention to those fifty thousand US dollars. Seeing the team members’ expectations, she couldn’t help but wave it away, rejecting Zheng Huaqing’s proposal to give her all the prize money.

"Director Zheng, just let it go. I actually don’t need this money; you keep it to buy new equipment for everyone."

Zheng Huaqing also knew that Huo Sining’s wealth far exceeded his own, and this mere fifty thousand US dollars wasn’t something she cared about, so he didn’t insist further.

Winning first place in the team competition made Zheng Huaqing genuinely excited and delighted, brimming with confidence.

God knows how many times he led the FLW team, only to be crushed almost every time, even those Dongyang guys and guys from the neighboring country overshadowing them. Every international competition was a humiliation.

But this time they had found life in a desperate situation and finally turned the tables to become the biggest dark horse. Zheng Huaqing felt like his governor and conception vessels were unblocked, his blood flowing smoothly, his back no longer sore and his legs no longer aching, feeling extremely comfortable.

How many years had it been? How many years had Zheng Huaqing waited, finally able to hold his head high and straighten his back at the FLW!

Zheng Huaqing now looked at Huo Sining with eyes full of admiration, couldn’t help but ask expectantly: "Miss Huo, tomorrow is the individual competition, a three-day intense knockout round. Can you handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining was slightly taken aback and then broke into laughter: "No, Director Zheng, maybe you haven’t figured something out yet. My involvement in this competition wasn’t really to help you compete but because it all started because of me."

"In fact, that American team’s Edwin and I have personal grievances. Yesterday, he got too drunk at the bar and got handsy with one of my sisters, and then we taught him a lesson."

"This man held a grudge, and by coincidence, today he saw me chatting with you, so he vented yesterday’s incident on the Huaxia team, which is why he attacked Tang Ling during the competition."

"Tang Ling purely got implicated because he was innocently harmed by Edwin, so I stood up to compete for him. But the truth is, I’m not interested in this FLW; I just couldn’t tolerate Edwin harming innocents, wanted to teach those arrogant Americans a lesson."

"I have Special Yunnan Baiyao. I’ll go get it for Tang Ling later. Once he applies my medicine, he’ll definitely be good for tomorrow’s match, so he can compete himself without me stepping in."

Zheng Huaqing turned slightly sullen upon hearing this.

He was eagerly anticipating Huo Sining’s upcoming performance because from her stellar achievement today, if she continued participating, the FLW championship would undoubtedly be hers.

But he never expected that at this critical moment, Huo Sining would just quit, giving up such easy glory. How could she not want it?

Huo Sining was certainly aware of this idea in Zheng Huaqing’s mind, but the championship he valued held no allure for her.

Moreover, she knew too well that she was using cheats to compete. She could use them to teach the American team a lesson and vent some anger for the Huaxia team, but she couldn’t use them in the individual competition.

Because if she did use Spiritual Energy in the matches, then the results of the competition would be meaningless, winning without honor by fishing with cheats.

Additionally, Huo Sining noticed that after she came ashore, many team members from other countries were aware of the disputes between the Huaxia team and the American team within such a short time, coupled with the revelation of Huo Sining’s inhuman achievements, they were shocked but also showed signs of diminished anticipation and morale.

Because everyone knew that if Huo Sining continued to showcase such capability in the coming matches, the beneficiary of the individual competition was self-evident.

After noticing the players’ depression and frustration, Huo Sining decided not to be the spoiler in this FLW. She’d rather remain a spectator.

So, after the first day’s team competition ended, many people were discussing eagerly, making all sorts of speculations about the sudden appearance of Huo Sining at the FLW, even the media and newspapers ran headlines shortly after. An astonishing announcement was made on the FLW official Weibo.

In the upcoming individual competition, Huo Sining would not be replacing Tang Ling but Tang Ling himself would participate in the match.

The news immediately caused a huge stir.

Many people didn’t understand why, especially the fishing enthusiasts from Huaxia Country, because they had foreseen Huo Sining dominating the stage in the next few days and crushing other players from various countries. But unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn, and Huo Sining withdrew, and it would be Tang Ling competing tomorrow.

"Why is this happening? Isn’t Huo Sining fishing pretty well? With such impressive records, if she competes tomorrow, she would definitely obliterate players from other countries, wouldn’t she?"

"Yeah, this could be our only chance for Huaxia Country to win the FLW. Giving away the championship like this is too much of a pity."

"Please don’t, Miss Huo, we beg you not to withdraw. Just let Tang Ling continue to rest; you should go out there yourself. Don’t give the other countries’ players a chance!"

"Handing over the championship like this is too cowardly, Miss Huo. Huaxia team’s only hope lies with you, and if you withdraw, our hope for winning will be very slim. Don’t bail at this critical moment!"

A group of excited netizens flooded Weibo, some even reached out to Huo Sining and Jade Beauty’s Weibo to request, begging Huo Sining not to withdraw, and hoping she would continue to replace Tang Ling. Some even directly messaged Huo Sining, hoping she would change her mind.

Zheng Huaqing couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he saw this news. He knew Huo Sining was a person of firm will; once she made a decision, nobody could possibly sway her.

Zheng Huaqing’s mouth carried a touch of bitterness; he knew his team would once again return without victory in this FLW.

In contrast to Zheng Huaqing’s disappointment, players from other countries were greatly encouraged. Initially, these players were frightened by Huo Sining’s performance during the day, knowing Huo Sining’s strength, to win the championship was no more than a flick of the wrist, so everyone felt crushed, thinking this time they would just be runners-up.

But these players never expected that at this crucial moment, Huo Sining would withdraw, not participating in the upcoming individual match, which suddenly revitalized the teams from other countries.

As long as Huo Sining didn’t compete, they still had a chance at the championship, because excluding Huo Sining, a formidable opponent, the level of other players was relatively equal, anyone could win!
