Inside the stadium, the eighty thousand fixed seats as well as over ten thousand temporary seats were all taken. The security team was under enormous pressure because it would be dire if an accident were to happen inside the stadium which contained a total of over a hundred thousand people inside.
Because the event was held at Bayside National Stadium, the security company took it very seriously by dispatching a troop of elite soldiers to maintain the safety and order of the place.
Old Master Fletcher was extremely worried about the safety of the stadium because both Stanley and Michael, who were dearest to him, were going to be there. Therefore, he had entrusted Joel with the task of overseeing the safety of the place.
Currently, Joel was focusing his full attention on examining the overall situation of the tournament. He was keeping an eye on both the condition inside and outside the stadium at all times so that in the event an emergency occurred, he would be able to get into action at the fastest speed. In the meantime, he was watching the livestream of the game with his phone too.
In the game, Stanley seemed like he had transformed into a God of War as he moved around gracefully and smoothly in the battlefield; he was the king of the world inside that game!
At the moment, Joel was slightly impressed by Stanley’s achievement in esports.
Suddenly, one of his staff reported that someone was making a scene at the ticket counter.
The event so far had been quite peaceful as his men had done nothing much other than having arrested some scalpers who tried to resell the tickets at staggeringly high prices. Hence, the commotion at the ticket counter immediately attracted Joel’s attention and it prompted him to make his way there to check out the situation immediately.
A group of people were surrounding the ticket counter and in the middle of the bunch stood a woman who was carrying a parasol.
The staff behind the ticket counter was pointing at the card on which ‘Sold Out’ was written as he prattled on, “All tickets were sold out long before this. The online tickets were also sold out as soon as they were available for purchase and we only have a limited amount of tickets at the door. Everyone else came to line up for them at six in the morning and everything was sold out within half an hour after we opened at nine. There aren’t any tickets left now!”
Unconvinced, the bunch offered to buy three tickets for ten thousand. “Give us three tickets. If it isn’t enough, we can offer more.”
As the weather was swelteringly hot, the staff was soaked with sweat as he continued to explain the situation, “As much as I want to sell you the tickets, I can’t because all the tickets are sold out!”
The bunch pressed on, “How about fifty thousand? Is that enough?”
Although the offer was indeed mouthwatering to the staff, he really couldn’t do anything because the stadium was already filled to the brim. He couldn’t even let his close friends sneak into the stadium, let alone someone who was splurging the cash.
“As all the tickets are sold out, you can’t buy it no matter how much money you are willing to pay for it.”
Under the shade of the parasol, Natasha pointed the electrical fan at herself as she started sweating profusely because of the heat. The hotter the weather was, the harder it was for her to control her temper. She couldn’t believe that such a cheapskate tournament actually had the audacity to put on airs by refusing to sell tickets to her. With a sullen face, she whispered something to her assistant to let her convey her message to the ticket staff.
One of her bodyguards then threatened the staff menacingly, “We’ll stop this tournament from continuing if we aren’t allowed in.”
The Mitchell Family definitely had the confidence and power to pull off something like that.
The staff members standing around them burst out laughing. “What’s going on inside is a top-notch global esports competition. Who do you think you guys are? Are you here just to look for our trouble? Get lost or I’ll summon the security officers here!”
Natasha had never been snubbed in this way before. After patiently waiting for more than ten minutes in such hot weather, she was still denied access in the end.
Finally, she lost it and nonchalantly instructed her people, “Smash it.”
Although the bodyguards were slightly hesitant when they heard her, they dared not defy the order of the princess in the Mitchell Family. Therefore, all of them made a dash forward and started smashing the ticket counter to compel the staff into giving them the tickets.
The staff immediately shouted, “Help! Someone is causing trouble!”
Soon, a troop of soldiers came and encircled the bunch of people. Natasha, who became even more fearless and confident at the sight of the soldiers, said in a commandeering tone to them, “Ask your captain to come here. I will only talk to him.”
As her uncle was an officer in the army, she was unruffled.
