The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Elysia Xander Withdraws from the Academy Tournament

The five from Capital Metropolitan knew they couldn’t snatch it from her, and didn’t want to end up burned like Elysia Xander.

But they weren’t willing to leave just like that.

The leader among them said,

"We won’t fight for it, but having two ghost bottles is useless for you. Why not give the other one to us?"

He paused, then added,

"You can name your price."

Before Scarlett Jennings could say a word, Ashton Todd suddenly popped his head out and interrupted,

"Would cash work?"

The leader was startled at the mention of money but quickly agreed,

"Sure!"

Ashton Todd immediately perked up, "How much can you offer?"

As soon as he spoke, Stella Gibson elbowed him in the side, while Scarlett Jennings, Gregory Xander, and others looked at him exasperatedly.

Ashton Todd quickly snapped back to his senses and changed his tune, righteously saying,

"No matter how much you offer, we won’t sell! This is the academy contest, not a flea market!"

Leader: ...

Weren’t you the one who suggested money?

Though speechless, he knew the one making decisions should be Scarlett Jennings, so he turned to this famous newcomer online and said,

"Scarlett, why don’t you set a condition?"

Scarlett Jennings didn’t respond, instead gesturing to Gregory Xander by her side, "Don’t ask me, ask him."

She said,

"Gregory Xander is our senior, he decides whether to give it to you or not."

Gregory Xander clearly didn’t expect Scarlett Jennings to say that, glancing at her instinctively, but soon understood her reasoning.

It was because of Elysia Xander.

No matter the condition, giving that ghost bottle to the people from Capital Metropolitan was as good as giving it to Elysia Xander.

Everyone knew of the "grudges" between him and Elysia, so whether or not to give it to her should be his call.

Scarlett Jennings’ words instantly gained the support of the others.

Gregory Xander felt a warmth inside, and when he looked at Elysia on the ground again, his face showed a hint of seriousness.

Elysia met his gaze but looked away,

"Don’t think I’ll beg you."

Gregory Xander looked at her expressionlessly,

"Even if you begged me, I wouldn’t give you this ghost bottle."

Although he was principled and observant of rules, he wasn’t without temper.

Scarlett’s Fire Thunder Talisman was to teach Elysia a lesson, but Elysia’s Fire Thunder Talisman aimed to seriously injure or kill them.

If he still played the card of looking out for the bigger picture and handed over the ghost bottle, it would be a disservice to the comrades behind him.

However, since he was from Capital Metropolitan, he couldn’t let them face an early elimination, so after a moment of silence, he turned to the leader and said,

"Have Elysia Xander withdraw from this academy contest, and you can take this ghost bottle."

Upon hearing this, resentment flashed in Elysia’s eyes.

The five from Capital Metropolitan also looked serious.

Gregory Xander felt relaxed after speaking his piece.

Forget the idea of competing openly and justly to the end as a member of the Xander family, to heck with that!

He just didn’t want to see that person anymore.

He was simply annoyed by her!

The contest had already been held, and he’d won, he didn’t want to endure seeing her arrogance in the following two matches.

Scarlett Jennings slightly raised an eyebrow, clearly having no objections to this condition.

"You!"

Elysia’s heart was filled with resentment, wanting to say something to chastise Gregory Xander for his impropriety, but was worried the others might actually agree to his terms.

After all, in their group of six, not everyone followed her lead.

Just when she was about to speak, the leader interrupted her, turning instead to Gregory Xander’s group to say,

"Sorry, we can’t accept that condition."

Even though he disliked some of Elysia’s actions, in this contest, they were a team.

They represented the Capital Taoist Academy.

Elysia could have her qualification revoked by the judges for malicious intent, but they couldn’t actively kick her out of the team.
