Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 13

"No need," Sera immediately declined. What VIP? The security personnel was really too generous. It made her feel a little suspicious. "I will just stay here." A fake smile appeared on her face.
"Alright. I won't force you then." The security said before glaring at the man. "You — take your people away or I will ban you from attending the competition."
Feng Xiaotan immediately nodded and left while glaring at Sera. Seeing them gone the security gave her another apology before leaving her alone.
"This miss… excuse me."
Sera looked at the man who sat next to her. "Are you working for a company?" the man asked. "Oh, I don't want to offend you I just got curious. The security was pretty kind to you. So I thought you know them."
"No."
"Oh, is that so? Then maybe they are just kind to smaller women." The man mumbled. "Oh, I am called Manjun. Dong Manjun. I just graduated from T university and I am looking for a job and some experience too! I hope I can attract the attention of one of these companies today."
"T University… That is located on another City?"
"Yes. Yes. Our university is not well known. Hey, are you a fresh graduate too?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then are you looking for a job too?"
"No."
"Then why are you here?"
Sera looked at him before she pointed at the signage where the prizes were written.
"Oh, money?" Manjun smiled and nodded. "Ah, what is your name again?"
"Sera," she answered. Her eyes were already on the stage as the host started saying something.
"Eh? They wanted to change the rules? Why do they want to change the rules?" Manjun immediately complained when he heard the new announcement. "Hey, Sera… why did they suddenly change the rules. Instead of mixed events, then wanted to change it into attack and defense style. And we can challenge other people too? Isn't this…"

"Stop talking," Sera said as she listened to the new rules. Apparently, there were some errors in their system, forcing them to change the rules. This new one is going to be a single-elimination knockout system where the loser is immediately eliminated.
"How could they suddenly change the rules like this?" she heard Manjun mumbling next to her. Sera ignored him. Instead, she turned her head to the sharp gaze that was directed her way. It was none other than the man named Feng Xiaotan.
"Oh, Sera I think this might be because of that Feng Xiaotan! You don't recognize that guy, do you? He is a member of one of the CTF teams in the Country! I am telling you… that man is dangerous. This is why I was asking if you are working for Quinn Media, since that security actually helped you out when your enemy is Feng Xiaotan."
"CTF team?"
"Yes, have you heard of them? They are called the Double Dragon. That Feng Xiaotan is one of the dragons, and his younger brother Feng — Feng — I forgot his name is the other person. Those people behind him should be his teammates! Eh, Sera, now that the rules have been changed then… that Feng Xiaotan could challenge you now!"
Sera frowned. Why would they suddenly change the rules? "Manjun I will leave first, I will talk to my friend." She said when she saw Xu Je'er waving at her from the audience's seat.
"Oh! Alright. Be careful. I'll see you later."
Sera smiled and walked towards Xu Je'er. Before she could even greet her, the woman already started cursing her mortal enemy Yuan Quan. "I am telling you. This is something that her family requested. She wanted that Feng Muscles to challenge you and embarrass me! She knew that I can't call my parents right now. That woman is truly evil! I am telling you if you won't beat that Feng Muscles I will — I will fight her!"

"Je'er… you sound like a child. Can you lower your voice? It's embarrassing." She calmly said while patting her friend's back.
"Why are you still so calm? You should have heard about this Double Dragon, right? You are a computer science student, you should have heard of them! They represented Pane City in the Regionals."
"And yet they lose," Sera said. "They only won one competition and lose terribly."
"You know them?"
"No." But she saw the results of the regionals competition before. So, she knew that this Double Dragon is not particularly outstanding in this field.
"But they are the best in Pane City!"
"Hmmm," she nodded.
"Why are you still calm?"
"Then what do you want me to do? Can we change the rules?" she asked.
"That — I can't call my parents right now. But we can try to complain… but that would make us look like we are scared. They might think we are not skilled enough for the competition."
"Since we can't change it, then what's the use of thinking too much?" Sera sighed.
"You — You really— "
"Just stop thinking about it and go with the flow. There is no use in worrying about things that haven't happened yet."
"This woman… I am really speechless!" Xu Je'er pouted. Sometimes, she really hated Sera's calmness. It was like, the world doesn't concern her at all! However, a part of her also envied Sera. After all, the woman was really skilled and talented.
"Alright, the competition will start. Everyone can challenge people now. So… I guess the whole team will challenge me." Sera said before she lowered her head. "Hey, I can defeat them but you have to give me thirty thousand RMB later."
"Everyone? The entire team?" As expected, her words were enough to make Xu Je'er smile.
"Of course." Confidence laced her voice.
"Ah… Sera money is not a problem just do your best, alright?" Xu Je'er said with a loud voice before giving her a wink. Seeing this, Sera chuckled and walked back to the seat reserved for the contestants. Her gaze landed towards Feng Xiaotan and his team, who were already staring at her. With a smile, Sera walked towards the personnel who is in charge of the challenge. "Mr. Personnel… My name is Sera Zhang and I want to challenge the gentleman right there. His name should be Feng Xiaotan."
