Big Novel

Elena looked at everyone with a serious expression and then shifted her gaze to Catherine sinisterly. She said coldly, You did
sing well, but I think you’re too bad-mannered. You show no respect for the judges or audience. So, personally, I don’t suggest
you advance to the next round.”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in with her. People were all selfish. Catherine’s team was so
competent. If they advanced to the next round of the contest, they would be a tough opponent.
The skeptical voice was getting more intense. The complacent smile on Elena’s face also became bigger. Just now, she received
Liana’s hint. Liana suggested that she and Nash would cast an opposing vote for them. Coupled with the audience’s objections,
she didn’t believe that Catherine’s team could qualify for the next round.
Hearing Elena’s sarcastic words, Bryan and Ronin both looked enraged. The two of them looked at Catherine simultaneously,
waiting for her response.
Catherine looked quite composed, and a faint sneer crossed her pretty eyes. She stared at Elena as if seeing an idiot.
Maybe Catherine had sensed that Bryan and Ronin were waiting for her to make a decision, so she turned her head to take a
glance at Ronin. Ronin alone could deal with this kind of situation easily. He had long been itching to do something.
Now that his chance finally came, he was ready to take action. He arched his brows at Catherine, gesturing with his eyes to her
that he could handle this. Ronin turned on the microphone and gazed at Elena with disdain and contempt.
Elena was frightened by his eyes and couldn’t help saying, “Why are you staring at me like this? What’s wrong with me
expressing my opinion?”
“You’re not wrong!” Ronin replied easily and gave a sinister snort. “Well, answer my question. On what ground can you sit there
to judge us and look down at everyone haughtily?”
“I...”
Before Elena could respond, Ronin interrupted her first, “You don’t know how to answer me, right? You’re not a graduate of a
professional college or a top expert. How can you get to sit there and point fingers? I’ve already shown you enough respect by
standing here. How can you have the cheek to say that we show no respect for others?”
Seeing that Elena grimaced in a fury, Ronin snorted. “Hmph! Don’t be mad. I’m merely telling the truth. If you don’t want to hear
it, it’s fine. Come and compete with me. Whatever you want to do, I’m in. If I lose, I’ll apologize to you!”

If Ronin hadn’t given the performance, Elena might have had the guts to compete with him. Yet, as she had witnessed Ronin’s
ability, she would only embarrass herself if she competed with him.
Besides, faced with Ronin’s censure in front of so many people, Elena felt gravely humiliated. She wanted to argue back, but she
just couldn’t. Seeing that Elena was rendered awkwardly speechless, Liana hastened to take over the microphone.
She said, “Ronin, we understand you disagree with the judge’s opinion. But it’s the stipulation of the school that we act as the
judges. It’s also the voting result of all teachers and students. Besides, whether you can advance to the next round still remains
to be confirmed.
“If you slander the Student Union for your own interest, isn’t it too selfish?”
Unlike Elena’s explicit criticism, Liana’s words were like a soft weapon. With a few words, she described Ronin as a guy who
deliberately dissed the judge because he was unsatisfied with the result.
If Ronin could be easily defeated by Liana, Catherine wouldn’t let him deal with this. After hearing Liana out, Ronin retorted
ruthlessly, “Are you done?”
Liana’s face instantly darkened, but she didn’t snap at once. She knew that someone would make Ronin pay for his arrogance.
Shortly, he would arouse public wrath. All she needed to do was just wait and see. It was a pity that they had underestimated
Ronin’s ability.
The reason why Ronin came to school was to keep Catherine company. He would feel bad about being away from Catherine for
even one day.
Of course, he had been well prepared before coming to the school. He had investigated everything about the school well. No one
expected that he would directly target the Student Union. Hearing Liana’s words, he felt like laughing a bit.
“A referendum in the Student Union? Who joined the vote? I didn’t, anyway. How many people here joined the vote?
He got no response but silence. Usually, these matters were all determined by a random internal vote among the seniors of the
Student Union. They left out many procedures just to save trouble. As no one spoke, Ronin continued lashing out at Liana.
“Student Union? It’s merely a den of iniquity under the reign of you despicable people. You’ve done various shameful things.
How can you have the cheek to talk about the Student Union. here?”

Instantly, the seniors of the Student Union all looked furious. In particular, Nash was really mad. After all, he was the leader of
the Student Union. He couldn’t allow Ronin to sling mud at the Student Union like this.
He thumped the table and glared at Ronin. “Ronin, mind your language. If I ever hear you slander the Student Union again, I’ll
teach you a lesson.”
“Hmph, slander? Teach me a lesson? Bring it on! I’m slandering the Student Union? Isn’t the Student Union a den of iniquity?
“No rush to get miffed. Just let me finish first. Do I need to tell you how much money the Organization Department has
embezzled through the Student Union all these years? And how much money have you acquired from the sponsorship as
kickbacks?”
His words just caused a sensation. Although some people also thought the Student Union was involved in several shady
practices, no one had ever dared to question them, for they couldn’t afford to offend the Student Union at all. Now, Ronin just laid
it bare boldly. He was so awesome!
Nash flushed in anger and yelled at Ronin, “If you continue talking nonsense, I’ll ask the school superintendent to punish you!”
“Punish me? Absurd! What if I say I have evidence? How can you scam money from other students in the name of the Student
Union? Did you have a good time in the hotel last week? And how did you spend the kickbacks the Liaison Department obtained
from the learning machine supplier? Should you give us an explanation?”
Everyone present was astonished to hear that. Ronin just offered several examples. The seniors of the Student Union were
dumbstruck. None of them expected that Ronin would be aware of those things.
They looked at Nash with pale expressions, waiting for him to offer a solution.
