Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 207 A Determined Spirit

In a certain sense, Violeta was a formidable opponent.

But at the same time, defeating her would bring even greater satisfaction to Hattie!

The game went on for thirty-seven minutes.

By the thirtieth-minute mark, Evelyn's team began to sense they were losing ground.

The enemy team managed to secure two consecutive dragons. Despite Evelyn's team's strength, the opponents were well-acquainted with their tactics, resulting in significant setbacks across all three lanes, starting with the mid-lane collapsing first.

It appeared Violeta had identified the midplane's vulnerability and concentrated her efforts there, swiftly taking down the outer turret and invading their jungle.

In contrast, Violeta's team maintained stability across all three lanes. Zoren's mid-lane, with Violeta's assistance, became nearly unbeatable. Jasper also played steadily in the bottom lane, and Liam played in the top lane. Their coordination was flawless.

The crystal was pushed while Evelyn was still outside, trying to turn the tide. Unfortunately, they lost.

Game over.'

The two commentators excitedly summarised the entire match. The comment section in the live chat praised The Mighty Dragons!

On Evelyn's side, everyone's morale was somewhat low. They had thought they could smoothly advance to the finals, but unexpectedly, they were stopped in the semifinals.

They didn't let defeat get to them.

Therefore, when they stepped off the stage, Evelyn still cordially said to Violeta, "I hope you can make it to the finals. I'll be following your matches."

The host then spoke up, "Everyone shouldn't be disheartened. There's still a revival match after the semifinals, Evelyn! We look forward to you and your teammates returning to the revival match to continue bringing us exciting gameplay."

Teams that lost in the first round of the semifinals would enter the revival match.

So 'The Spring Blossom' would be the first terrifying force to secure a spot in the revival match.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn and the others grinned joyfully.

"We'll be back!"

As the two teams passed Hattie, Evelyn heard her disdainful mockery.

"How could she be so powerful? Turns out she's worthless."

Evelyn stopped in her tracks upon hearing Hattie's words.

Her narrow eyes glinted with a hint of menace as she stared at Hattie.

However, only Evelyn heard Hattie's words. Hence, the nearby staff were puzzled when Evelyn halted, saying, "Evelyn, please hurry down. The second team is about to go on stage."

Her teammates looked at her, touching her shoulder, thinking she was hesitant to leave the arena.

"Let's go. We still have the revival match," someone said.

Yet Violeta noticed that Evelyn's gaze remained fixed on Hattie.

Knowing Hattie's nature, Violeta was certain she had mocked Evelyn, which was why Evelyn was staring at her with such anger.

Hattie put on an innocent look, as if she knew nothing.

Evelyn held back. She couldn't cause a scene here; it was being broadcast live!

So, she followed her teammates back to the lounge.

On the way back to the lounge, a teammate asked, "Evelyn, what happened just now?"

Evelyn explained honestly, "That woman just insulted us, calling us worthless."

She remembered this afternoon when Hattie wanted to change lounges and had boldly said they would be eliminated anyway.

Now, it had turned out exactly as Hattie predicted.

Evelyn was truly furious!

But there was nothing they could do; they had indeed lost.

She was just so angry!

Violeta, who was following them, overheard Evelyn's words.

Violeta didn't doubt Evelyn's words because she knew what kind of person Hattie was.

But what surprised Violeta was that neither of Evelyn's teammates seemed to doubt Evelyn. No wonder Zoren loved gossip so much.

Stepping forward, Zoren approached the group of girls and asked, "Did Hattie just insult you?"

Evelyn hesitated for a moment. "Yes, when I passed by her just now, she called me worthless."

Beside her, Amara added, "Not only that, but this afternoon, she came with some staff and offered us 3,000 dollars to switch lounges. It's ridiculous. This person is truly disgusting, pretending to be something she's not, playing the victim!"

It turned out Hattie had visited their lounge in the afternoon, which confirmed their suspicions.

No wonder they believed Hattie had insulted them.

Violeta lowered her eyelashes. The biggest difference between Hattie and Zelena was that Hattie, relying on the backing of the Ridge family and Hannah, was extremely arrogant in her actions. In contrast, Zelena was outwardly good but inwardly malicious, always ready to stab you in the back.

One was openly malicious, the other covertly so-truly a match made in heaven.

Violeta stepped forward. "It's okay. Only four teams will ultimately be selected for the semifinals. After successfully advancing through the revival match, you'll have a chance to confront her."

Evelyn nodded. "That's exactly what I think. We must break through in the revival match and defeat her on stage legitimately! Let's see how arrogant she can be then."
