Chapter 240: Chapter 240 You Have a Love Rival Now

Fu Xing paid no attention to it.

But the little round ball was not discouraged, it followed Fu Xing around persistently, even daring to shamelessly snap photos when Fu Xing was changing clothes. When caught, it immediately acted innocent.

If it weren’t for his father’s beloved mecha, Fu Xing would have forced it into hibernation long ago.

"I’ll just tell you the secret, then! Someone’s got their eye on your lady."

Fu Xing turned sharply, his eyes shining with a dangerous light, "Who?"

"That Meisfield Family kid named Mervin. I know their family’s mecha. I bumped into it in the main brain space, and its mecha was boasting to me! Saying that its little master has taken a fancy, has found a girl he likes. Humph! Wishful thinking, trying to compete with the Fu Family’s men for a woman, impossible!"

At the critical moment, the little round ball immediately forgot the ’deep hatred’ of having its name stripped away, showing a sense of solidarity as if it were the true master.

"Mervin, that’s good, very bold."

Fu Xing’s voice was icy cold, his gaze somber, scaring the guard who had come to deliver breakfast so much that his legs trembled, almost turning tail and fleeing.

The little round ball cheered in its heart: That’s right! Just like that, just like the old master!

There were just four days left before departure to the First Military Academy, and the next day the school released the list of participants in the freshman competition.

Mervin, who should have been first on the list, was nowhere to be found, replaced instead by Nolan’s name.

Celia’s spot had been taken by Lin Fu.

This caused a huge stir at the school, with discussions boiling over on the campus network, and even some hot-headed individuals storming into Chancellor Song Zheng’s office to question him.

The school authorities had intended to suppress the news of the assassination attempt and deal with it quietly.

But Mervin’s influence was too strong, it couldn’t be suppressed, and many people had pinned their hopes for Elbert’s comeback this year on Mervin.

His prowess was beyond doubt.

Now that the mainstay was suddenly not participating in the freshman competition, the entire school’s teachers and students couldn’t possibly remain calm.

Finally, the school made an official statement.

On the looping light screen outside the Simulation Chamber building, it clearly stated that on the night of Mervin and Celia’s return to Capital Star, they were targeted by banned weapons and, though they were saved, their injuries were too severe to compete.

Countless people stood outside the building, looking up at the looping light screen, filled with righteous indignation, and the atmosphere on the scene became incredibly agitated.

"This is a conspiracy."

In the crowd, a loud shout sparked the emotions of everyone.

Immediately after, countless people started shouting in unison.

"Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy."

"It’s despicable, someone is targeting us."

"No, it might be targeting Lin Fu."

That woke people up, and suddenly the scene went quiet. Someone took the lead and turned around to look back, and all followed suit, looking at Lin Fu who stood outside the crowd.

In those young eyes were anger, indignation, hate, blame, and resentment.

All the new students stared at Lin Fu, bringing a psychological pressure that was hard to describe in words.

Upperclassmen who did not understand the situation felt curious, others found it inexplicable, and some just enjoyed watching the drama.

Even some hoped for the freshmen competition to fail, because they hadn’t achieved notable results themselves. If this batch of freshmen succeeded because of Mervin, wouldn’t they outshine their seniors?

These seniors, outperformed by their juniors, would become a laughingstock when they joined the military services.

Of course, the majority still hoped for the school to rise, but that didn’t prevent some from being jealous, deliberately spreading rumors.
