In the end, Cui Li was carried out on a stretcher, accompanied by flashes of camera flashes. After the press conference was interrupted for a moment, the press officer of Excellent Era rushed in and blocked the reporters who wanted nothing more than to take pictures of him.
"I'm sorry, everyone. With such an accident, today's interview will have to end here." The press officer didn't care about the opinions of the reporters and began to call the few contestants of Excellent Era out.
Although the reporters protested loudly, Excellent Era's attitude was firm. In the end, they said, "We will be holding a press conference soon. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask then." In the blink of an eye, Excellent Era's people had all left.
The reporters were helpless. Excellent Era was so firm. It seemed like they didn't care about their possible condemnation. But speaking of which, although they only asked two questions, it was already very interesting. A single question was enough to make the other side faint. How much information did this question contain that Excellent Era wouldn't be able to talk about?
Although they didn't get an answer today, the reporters weren't discouraged. As the saying goes, the monk can run away, but the temple can't. Excellent Era was such a big club. Could they disappear from the face of the earth in an instant? The reporters from all the major media outlets were already planning their next interview plans in their hearts.
Excellent Era left, but the press conference still had to continue. No matter how famous Excellent Era was, today, the champion was the main character.
The reporters waited patiently. If they couldn't get an answer from Excellent Era, they could get an answer from Happy. The main character of the question was in Team Happy.
In the end, they waited and waited, but no one came. After a while, the press officer of the Alliance walked in with an awkward expression. His well-ironed suit had many wrinkles.
"Sorry everyone, today's press conference is over." The press officer went on stage and looked at the countless anxious gazes in the audience. Then, he announced with an embarrassed expression.
"What?" All the reporters stood up in an uproar.
"What kind of joke is this?" someone immediately shouted.
"Where's Happy?"
"Yeah, Happy's contestant isn't here yet!"
"Happy's players have already left …" The reporter's face was gloomy when he said this. After the award ceremony ended, various staff members came out to clean up the mess. The scene was a little messy. The pro players all knew what to do at this time. For example, the players from Team Excellent Era went backstage to participate in the press conference.
But as for Happy, they left just like that.
Yes, they left. They didn't say goodbye to anyone, and no one noticed it. Because in the minds of people with common sense, this was absolutely impossible. No one would prevent a team from leaving after the competition.
And so, Team Happy really did leave. The Alliance waited until the press conference was ready before they realized that only Excellent Era was going to participate, not Happy.
The staff searched frantically, looking everywhere, but there was nothing. After that, he went around asking for information. Finally, he heard from a certain place that a large group of people were shouting that they were the champions and left just like that.
Happy people? Or Happy's fans?
There was no answer. The only answer was that Happy people were no longer there. They had stood the press conference up.
Fortunately, Happy was the winner and would appear later, so the Alliance still had a glimmer of hope. They hurriedly searched for Happy's contact information, wanting to find Happy before Excellent Era's press conference ended.
Who knew that Team Excellent Era wasn't easy to deal with. It was only the second question, but someone had already fainted.
Using this reason to end the press conference early, the Alliance couldn't do much to stop it. But on the other side, they still hadn't found Happy's contact number!
The situation had already been reported to the chairman, Feng Xianjun, who was also stunned when he heard this. No way? Not long ago, it was Ye Xiu who refused to participate in this kind of event. Could it be that now, it was Happy's entire team that refused to participate? This was against the rules. It definitely couldn't be allowed.
"We must find them and find out what's going on!" This was the chairman's order.
They had already found Happy's contact number. They hurriedly dialed it, but no one picked up. The Alliance was helpless. The reporters couldn't keep waiting, so the press officer came out and announced the end of the press conference.
The press officer clearly knew how awkward this situation was. He had already expected to be surrounded by reporters asking for an explanation. But since they couldn't find Happy, what else could they do? The press officer could only smile bitterly.
The finals of the Challenger League, the press conference where the reporters were waiting for countless explosive news, had actually ended with one person fainting?
No one was willing to accept this.
The various media outlets had already started their next step of deployment. Those who had troops stationed in City H had already started sending troops to Happy Internet Cafe and Excellent Era. Hide? Can you really hide?
But the next day, Excellent Era suddenly announced that they were going into a state of silence. The explanation they gave was that the club's Broken Halberd Challenge League had completely changed the club's progress. They had a lot of things to deal with now, so they didn't have the energy to deal with the media.
The reason he gave sounded like it was true. Team Excellent Era definitely didn't think that they would lose in the Challenger League. Their plan for the coming year was to aim for the Pro League, and even the Alliance championship. But now, the Challenger League was coming again. This second disaster was definitely enough for them to deal with. Not to mention others, Gods like Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin had already sunk into the Challenger League with Excellent Era for a year. Would they be willing to do it again for another year? Not to mention these Gods, even players like Zhang Jiaxing and Shen Jian could find a place in the Alliance. They might not be willing to continue playing the Challenger League. There was also Team Excellent Era's rookie, Qiu Fei. According to a certain media outlet in City B, Micrograss was very interested in this young player. They were already looking for an opportunity to contact Excellent Era.
This news came from a paparazzi, so its credibility was limited. But at least it showed that even for Qiu Fei, it was a waste to stay in the Challenger League. Would Excellent Era still be able to keep these people?
Excellent Era had a lot of things to worry about, but at this time, the media didn't believe that they were too busy to deal with the media.
They were busy, but they didn't dare to face the media because they were guilty.
The more guilty they were, the more the media wanted to dig. Excellent Era kept their news quiet, but the pervasive media was always able to find an opportunity to beat around the bush.
First, from Happy Internet Cafe's cashier, the media found out how Ye Xiu came to their Internet cafe. Even though they were just a street away from Excellent Era, leaving one's favorite team and going to an Internet cafe didn't seem to fit the identity of a God in the Alliance, right?
They didn't expect the answer to be like this.
Happy Internet Cafe's cashier swore that Ye Xiu came to the Internet cafe to ask for a computer. Then, he saw the Internet cafe's recruitment page and volunteered to work there.
Glory's God … after announcing his retirement, he came to an Internet cafe to work as a manager?
Then, the reporters visited the place where God Ye Xiu had fought at Happy Internet Cafe. There was a small bed, followed by a storage room full of junk, which made countless reporters almost cry.
This was the fate of a God who had built a dynasty for Excellent Era and made the name Excellent Era resound throughout the Glory scene after retiring from the team?
The next day, all the major media outlets published photos of this tear-inducing storage room. All the major websites also reposted them. There were even TV stations that wanted to film it.
The Glory scene was shocked!
The fans were shocked!
Ye Xiu's reason for retiring from Excellent Era was no longer important. But was this the fate of a hero who had contributed so much to the team after retiring?
An Internet cafe manager living in a doghouse?
"This is too much!" A random Glory player interviewed by a reporter said, "I can't imagine how a God like Ye Qiu would end up like this after retiring. I'm very suspicious of how Team Excellent Era treats its players. If this continues, will there still be players willing to play for them? Oh, no, there won't be anymore. What kind of pro player would be willing to play for a team that plays in the Challenger League? "This player spat out a bunch of crap, rubbing salt into Excellent Era's wounds.
"Ye Xiu is in such a miserable state after retiring? This can't be real, right? It can't be a publicity stunt, right? "There were also some who were more suspicious.
"Unbelievable! What kind of Club is Excellent Era? No matter what kind of achievements they had, to let their hero end up like this, I can only say that they're completely devoid of conscience. A team like this should be relegated. Ye Xiu did beautifully. I watched the finals of the Challenger League. Spectacular, classic, amazing, f * ck! "
"I feel like this isn't very reliable. God Ye Xiu is just a retired player. Why does it seem like he left with nothing? There's a problem. I feel like there's a problem. "
None of the people interviewed above were supporters of Excellent Era. Apart from those who were still suspicious, the others were quite happy with their curses.
As for Excellent Era's fans? Faced with this reality, they were heartbroken and sad. They wanted to defend the team, but they couldn't find any reason.
"I think … things aren't as simple as we think. There must be something else going on." Excellent Era's fans still had hope in their hearts. They always hoped that their God and team would be harmonious and loving.
"F * ck, this must be Ye Xiu pretending to be pitiful to tarnish Excellent Era's reputation. Such a God, so pitiful. Who would believe that? I don't believe it. "There were also those who insisted on defending Team Excellent Era. They ignored the facts and only reasoned logically.
"I don't know …" There were also Excellent Era's fans who, when faced with this question, fell silent like Team Excellent Era. They couldn't answer. To them, no matter what, it was still painful.
But even more Excellent Era's fans couldn't bear this torment. They started a large-scale protest outside the Excellent Era club every day. They demanded that the club stop keeping the news quiet and give a clear explanation for this series of problems.
