Chapter 310
Maddox knew the answer. He said, “With Sienna’s personality, there’s a high chance they’ve asked which team was stronger first.” “She must have found that the champion team of the last two sessions needed two players, so she took the initiative to contact them.” “Sienna and Cain don’t lack money and don’t care about this little bonus, but they care about whether they can suppress us and win the championship.” He felt Sienna’s intentions were too obvious.
Andrea agreed. “I think so too. Since they need to form a team, they naturally want to find a strong one, so that they have a chance to win.” Phoebe smiled. “If they want to play with fire, let them be.”
She then thought, Judging from their facial features, those four are not easy to deal with. ‘One of them even has a fierce look in his eyes. He has a rebellious look, and his eyes look vicious. He must be a bold and vicious evil person.’ But Sienna brought Cain to find them. Wouldn’t that be like walking into a lion’s den? However, it’s Sienna’s choice. She’ll need to bear the consequences herself. The others had the same thought. They rode their horses and went to the front to prepare.
When the people in the live-stream heard their words, they all praised Maddox and the others, saying they had seen through Sienna. It was because everything Maddox said hit the mark. Before Sienna formed a team, she found someone to ask about the best team. A kind-hearted person even reminded them before they wanted to form a team with this team. However, Sienna did not listen at all. She only wanted to choose the most powerful one. It also showed that she was too eager for quick success. Because of this, not many people thought highly of the siblings.
After all the teams signed up and passed the review, the polo field’s host announced that 16 teams would participate in the competition. They drew lots to determine their opponents, competed directly, and advanced to the final to compete for the championship. It meant the result would depend on the teams’ strength and luck because they could keep going up if they met a weak team, but if they encountered a strong one, they might get eliminated in the first round. Phoebe would represent her group to draw lots.
In the first round, Phoebe drew a team that wasn’t very strong, which was within Phoebe’s expectations. ‘Since Sienna wanted to change teams, there is a high chance that we will only face each other at the end,’ Phoebe thought. At the beginning of the game, Phoebe and her teammates didn’t rush to win: Instead, they mainly trained the team’s cooperation. If there were any problems, Phoebe and Maddox would immediately raise them, and everyone would improve. As a result, after winning the first match, they had a tacit understanding of each other.
Then came the round of 16 to 8, and the group Phoebe drew was of medium strength. Like before, they continued to play steadily and focused mainly on improving their coordination and teamwork abilities. The delay was not too long, and they won the competition. Following that were rounds of 8 to 4 and 4 to 2. The teams they drew were relatively stronger. However, their coordination as a six-member team continued to improve, coupled with the strong capabilities of Raylan, Phoebe, and Maddox, allowing them to win consecutive matches. It was the same for Sienna’s team. They advanced all the way.
Her other four teammates were indeed quite strong, especially when it came to dirty tricks. After a few matches, several of their opponents were injured. Moreover, in the previous match, when Sienna snatched the ball from the other party, she made the other party swing and bounce back onto the horse’s leg, causing the other party to fall off the horse and get injured. However, from the audience’s perspective, it was only an accident and not against the rules. However, Phoebe could tell that Sienna did it on purpose. She thought, ‘Indeed, being with ruthless and malicious individuals has completely brought out the evil side of Sienna.’
As expected, the remaining two teams were Sienna’s and Phoebe’s. The viewers in the live-streaming room all became excited. They couldn’t help but sigh at the good luck of both teams. After all, they had managed to avoid each other until they finally met in the championship game.
In the resting area, Gavin said, “We’re quite lucky. We didn’t meet them before. From the looks of it, they’re stronger than the previous two competitions.” They had to say that although Sienna looked soft and weak, she was fierce when she played polo. Cain’s technology was also not bad, making this team stronger. Andrea smiled. “What a coincidence that our two teams were able to avoid each other and only met in the finals.” She did not believe that it was a coincidence. She knew the person behind Sienna must have done something.
Because of this, Phoebe determined that the person behind Sienna had his hands in too many things. He tampered with the groupings on the variety show and did so in the polo match. This also meant that the person behind the scenes had a huge net and a strong network of connections. Phoebe raised her head and looked into the distance. It was in the direction of the Horoscope Association’s headquarters. This was the territory of the Horoscope Association, but they could still tamper with it. It meant that there must be people from Sienna’s side within the Horoscope Association. Moreover, they occupied high-level positions. Phoebe felt that after the variety show ended, she had to go to the Horoscope Association to take a look.
In the rest area on the other side, Cain also felt it was a coincidence. He felt a little complicated when he thought about how he would be Phoebe’s opponent. If I need to compete with Phoebe for the ball, should I go all out or let her have it a bit? ‘After some thought, Cain decided to let Phoebe have it a bit. No matter what, she’s my biological sister. I can’t hit her too hard.’
Meanwhile, Sienna was in a state of excitement. She was especially looking forward to the competition. She thought, “This is my first real head-on confrontation with Phoebe. I must not lose.” Then, she thought about how she could not let Phoebe leave the polo field unscathed in this match. She wondered, ‘Should I let her get trampled by horses? Or should I ruin her seductive face directly?’ The more Sienna thought about it, the more eager she became.
After resting for half an hour and adjusting, the teams rode on their horses and went on stage with the cues given by the host. The finals lasted 60 minutes, divided into two halves of 30 minutes each. After a half ended, the two sides would exchange venues. After they entered the arena, there were many screams in the stands.
Go, Phoebe! Come on, Maddie! “Pheebs, we love you!” “Best of luck, Pheebs. We have high hopes for you.” “Go, Pheebs. Take first place.” “Go, Andrea.” “Raylan, go. We love you!” “Master Flynn, you can do it!”
The Horoscope Association was located in Oriar. It was also the place where horoscope masters most frequently visited and resided. Therefore, many horoscope masters would come to watch the polo match every year. A portion of the people who came this time were Phoebe’s fans. Many horoscope masters who had come were shocked and surprised to see Raylan on stage. As the association’s president’s most valued disciple, Raylan was incredibly skilled and often retreated into seclusion, making his whereabouts mysterious. It was hard for them to imagine that he would come and join in such fun. Admiring Raylan’s strength and for the sake of the association’s president, they also cheered for him a few times.
Lots of Phoebe and Maddox’s fans had come to watch the game. Therefore, two-thirds of the people in the stands were cheering for Phoebe’s team, making Sienna and her teammates unable to maintain their smiles. Sienna cursed in her heart, “This is a polo match, not an idol-chasing concert. Why are these fans shouting so loudly? However, this is also good. After I defeat Phoebe, I’ll prove these people wrong.” “At that time, there might even be people who would stop being fans of Phoebe. Phoebe’s luck will decline as long as she loses her fans and gets scolded. At that time, my luck will increase. How wonderful.’
Sienna rode on her horse and looked at Phoebe in high spirits. She said, “Phoebe, we will do our best to defeat you.”
