Chapter 1398: Aiden: I Want to Withdraw!
Aiden, however, was adamant, logical, and rigorous. “Contact the organizing committee and tell them I want out.”
“Mr. Aiden, why are you suddenly…” A round-faced middle-aged man beside him looked puzzled. He was very unwilling to withdraw from the compet.i.tion like this. “You have a very good chance of winning first place in this software compet.i.tion on behalf of Country D. Tomorrow is the finals. If you withdraw at this time…”
Aiden cut him off forcefully before he could finish. “I can’t come first with her around!”
Country D’s accompanying staff were also elites in the IT industry.
!!“Her?” The other party was stunned, as if he was not sure who he was talking about. “You mean the contestant from Country Z we met?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Aiden.” The other party seemed to find his decision extremely comical and ridiculous. He explained to him seriously, “Country Z has always been backward when it comes to IT. They can’t compare to us, let alone Country M. They were only lucky to reach the finals this time. They can’t win tomorrow’s compet.i.tion.
“Besides, as you can see, their contestant injured her right hand before the compet.i.tion. She can only use one hand in tomorrow’s compet.i.tion. Your strength in IT can easily crush her. You don’t worry about her.”
“Kevin, you’re wrong.”
The round-faced middle-aged foreign man frowned, not understanding what he meant. “I’m wrong?”
“Yes.” Aiden smiled faintly, then looked him squarely in the eye and said, “You’re wrong. You’ve got it the other way round. She should be able to defeat me with one hand!”
The others looked shocked. They really couldn’t understand why a hacker in the top 20 of the Heaven Leaderboard would say such disheartening words.
“I’m not lying to you.
“Since she’s a representative of Country Z, the World Software Compet.i.tion’s champions.h.i.+p must be hers.”
“… Mr. Aiden, the other party is just a freshman.” The round-faced foreigner was utterly confused.
He was one of the top 20 hackers on the Heaven Leaderboard.
The other party tried his best to persuade him to come down. “Even if our Country D doesn’t take first place, there’s still Mas from Country M.”
They wouldn’t get first place, but it wouldn’t be Country Z’s turn to get first place.
“Heh, Mas is nothing in front of her! He’s just a lackey. How can a firefly dare to compete with the sun!”
Everyone from Country D was dumbfounded.
What?
Mas was already the top talent in the field of IT software.
Why did he become a firefly now?
Was Mr. Aiden overdoing it?
The other party was just an ordinary student of Country Z!
“You can look at the results if you don’t believe me.” Not wanting to explain too much to them, Aiden tucked his hands into his black pants pockets and spoke forcefully and insistently. “In any case, I won’t be partic.i.p.ating in the rest of the compet.i.tion. Either you help me communicate my withdrawal from the compet.i.tion with the organizing committee or I’ll be out of the compet.i.tion altogether.
“Decide for yourselves!”
With that, he didn’t waste any more time. He left a harsh word and strode off in the direction of the elevator.
He seemed to be in a hurry, as if he desperately needed to confirm something.
He left quickly and decisively.
His decisive att.i.tude made several of the staff members look at each other. No one knew what was going on.
However, Aiden was an expert that their superiors had spent a lot of effort to invite. Since he refused to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, they had no choice.
After explaining the situation to Country D, they had no choice but to make a call to the organizing committee…
