The students from the School of Finance were utterly disappointed. A few of them even started leaving because they didn't want to witness the humiliating defeat.
In fact, Jordan looked the most upset. At first, he had high hopes for Joshua. Yet, the latter had performed badly in this match. This was an utter humiliation!
Thus, Jordan decided to throw the last quarter and remove the starting players from the court. He prepared to discipline them later on.
Just then, Oliver approached him with a smile. "Hey! Are you asking your main players to leave now?"
Jordan looked very upset and pointedly ignored Oliver, who added, "I thought you said there was an ace player on your team. So? Is this the extent of his skills?"
Evidently, Jordan was being mocked by Oliver, which disgusted him greatly. Yet, he knew that the members of his team were worse than those on Oliver's team.
In the end, Jordan replied, "Don't be too smug. The real ace on our team is sitting on the bench! You'd better have all your star players step up their game."
However, he didn't have another ace. This was just a ploy to tire out the members of the School of Music.
Alas, Oliver didn't believe Jordan's words because he had seen through his tricks. Once the basketball team from the School of Finance surrendered, Flynn and the others could wash up and rest.
After realizing the situations of both teams, the audience began leaving the place.
Many female students came to see handsome men, so there was no point in watching the match anymore.
Luna looked at her watch and stood up. She asked Bella, "Now that Flynn has left, the match won't be interesting anymore. My boyfriend from Granada has sent me a Skarovsvi Brilliant Necklace. Do you want to pick it up with me?"
The remaining girls prepared to leave.
Since Bella lost interest in the competition, she stood up and prepared to leave too.
