Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 208 The Power Play

After catching sight of Hattie, everyone's enthusiasm ignited like a blazing fire. Her presence infused the group with renewed energy and determination.

Violeta mused that in a previous chapter of her life, Hattie had been the undisputed champion of the college competition. Typically, she would have continued her winning streak to the finals. But now, she's facing off against Evelyn. Who knows if she'll be bested by Evelyn this time?

If that unfolds, it could alter the course of events entirely.

After 'The Mighty Dragons' emerged victorious, the Toland University forum hummed with congratulatory posts for the team.

Yet, securing just one win didn't guarantee an overall victory. They awaited the following match arrangements with hopeful anticipation.

But this livestream made Violeta a mini-celebrity online. Many people were drawn to her stunning looks and took plenty of screenshots from the stream to post on Facebook.

Violeta White hadn't set out to brand herself as an esports sensation. Still, her Facebook buzzed with people hyping her as the best esports star in this year's college competition.

Once people discovered her gaming ID, many started checking her game stats and adding her as a friend.

After Violeta's team won, Zelena and Hattie also scored victories.

Violeta got a bit of fame after the match, and Zelena was hoping for the same for herself. But to her surprise, there was barely any talk about her on Facebook, and even the school forum had very few mentions of her.

This considerable disappointment reminded Zelena of the fear she felt in her past life, overshadowed by Violeta.

So, she contacted the hacker Six again, intending to expose a scandal about Violeta and tarnish her reputation.
