Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 97 We Broke No Rules

Shortly after, a crowd of students exited the school and noticed a barbecue stall across the street.

They were immediately captivated by the sign.

Many people had the idea of taking advantage of the freebies and ordered barbecue to receive complimentary drinks.

Only a few individuals went there to spend a little money and get a drink, while the majority ordered several skewers and ate while waiting in front of the barbecue stall. After finishing their drinks, they would dispose of the empty bottles in the clean trash bin Fiona had prepared.

Once the bin was full, Fiona would drag it to the school gate to hand it over to Violeta and the others.

In less than thirty minutes, Violeta and her group had already collected thirty bottles of mineral water.

However, their act of waiting at the school gate to collect the bottles was quickly discovered by the members of the dance club.

A group of people from the dance club rushed to the school gate and immediately spotted Violeta and her three companions.

Beside their legs were pockets filled to the brim with mineral water bottles.

Just a moment ago, the dance club had only collected twenty-seven bottles throughout the entire school!

Upon seeing this, Casey gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't this cheating?"

Zelena added, "They can just wait here and pick up the mineral water bottles. It's really unfair."

They rushed over and accused Violeta and her companions angrily.

"You have no shame! You're not following the rules of the game!"

"What are you doing here, waiting like this? It's simply too unfair!"

"Who plays games like this, being sneaky and deceitful? Let's report them and have their participation in the competition canceled!" "Yes, exactly!"

As they spoke, someone immediately made a phone call to report them.
