Chapter 423


    Chloe paused on purpose, a sly and icy grin slowly creeping onto her face. She stared directly into


    Keira’s eyes, her cool voice slowly but powerfully echoing.


    “You sure you wanna pick a fight with me on this one?”


    Keira felt her anxiety bubbling up. She tried to look away from Chloe’s gaze, but Chloe’s eyes were


    like a bottomless vortex, pulling her in no matter how much she struggled.


    Finally, Chloe broke the stare. Keira breathed a sigh of relief, her tension visible to everyone


    around.


    “I was just wondering, since both works were made during thepetition…” Keira said.


    “Enough already!”


    A fluent and angry voice cut through the room, followed by the m of a fist on a table. An rose


    from the judges’ table.


    Everyone watched him in shock. Ever since smelling Chloe’s nonpeting work, he had been


    serious and stern. They all thought that Chloe had somehow offended him, but he had given her full


    marks with a poker face that only seemed to get more serious.


    However, no one was paying attention to An, as they were all distracted by the journalists.


    Nobody expected An to blow up now.


    Keira recolled at his sudden outburst, her eyes wide with fear, as she looked at the clearly enraged


    man on stage.


    An, with a dark face, pointed at Keira and said in fluent foreignnguage,


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    ‘Shut up already! You’re making a fool of yourself! If it wasn’t against the rules to change scores, I


    wouldn’t even give you a 0.1! You have the audacity to name it ‘Enchanted Devotion, you’re


    mocking the term and the work! Shameless!”


    With that, An angrily pulled his chair, turned around, and stormed off!


    The trantor paused, feeling extremely awkward. After a moment of thought, she decided not to


    trante that After all, it was a harsh rebuke, no, it was more like an insult.


    To avoid escting the situation into an international conflict, she chose not to trante it and


    quickly followed An.


    Everyone looked puzzled.


    The trantor just left?


    Then what was An saying while pointing at Keira?


    “What did that judge say? Did you understand?”


    “No.”


    “What a pity, he looked really angry, and seemed very unhappy with Keira.”


    “He always seems unhappy with everyone, always has that gloomy look on his face, as if he thinks


    he’s above everyone else. Even after giving full marks, he looked like he swallowed a bomb!”


    “But I’m still curious about what he said. I noticed the trantor. She looked really embarrassed”


    ‘Me too.”


    And so, all eyes turned to Chloe on stage.


    Because since the beginning, she was the only one who had been conversing fluently with An in


    a foreignnguage.


    She was the only one who could understand what An was saying!


    Upon hearing An’s words, Chloe couldn’t help but smirk.


    Seeing the eager and expectant gazes from everyone, Chloe took a moment, then walked over to


    the host, grabbed the microphone, and said….
