Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 218 Scandal Unleashed

Zelena, brimming with confidence, had meticulously prepared two sets of strategies for the finals. She had prepared one strategy to defeat Violeta and another to neutralise Hattie. As the live broadcast commenced, the four captains took the stage for the draw.

Zelena feigned politeness, gesturing to Violeta, "Vio, you first."

Violeta, not one for formalities, stepped forward and selected a number ball.

The live comments flooded in.

"She sounds a bit fake."

"What's the deal between Zelena and Violeta? Why does she call her Vio?"

"Maybe they're close off-camera? There's nothing wrong with calling someone intimate."

Violeta drew number 1, Evelyn drew number 3, and Hattie drew number 4, leaving Zelena with number 2.

The matchups were set.

The host announced, "Alright! 'The Mighty Dragons' vs. 'Eternal Warriors', 'Spring Blossom' vs. 'Flame Vanguard"! Let's give them some time to prepare."

Descending the stage, Violeta exchanged a meaningful glance with Zelena.

Zelena was inwardly gloating.
