Everyone stared blankly at the girl emerging from the toxic mist.
Their eyes were filled with shock, awe, terror, and an indescribable sense of reverence.
Even the Severian officials, who looked at Serena with absolute venom, had faces that were deathly pale.
Their eyes burned with toxic hatred, yet it was painfully obvious that they were paralyzed by sheer terror.
They gritted their teeth, glaring at her, but none of them dared to make a single move.
Because standing outside Cabin 10 weren't just the tournament organizers anymore.
The Elyndor State Department and the embassy staff had arrived in full force.
Ambassador Sterling, Consul Bennett, and a massive contingent of Elyndorian officials had taken absolute control of the floor.
The thunderous authority of Elyndor had descended.
With them standing guard, no matter how much the Severian officials gnashed their teeth, they wouldn't dare try anything in broad daylight.
"Contestant Serena!"
Seeing her walk out completely unharmed, Ambassador Sterling nearly choked up.
He took a massive stride forward, rushing to check on the nation's ultimate savior.
"Don't come any closer." The girl paused, holding up a hand to stop him in his tracks.
Ambassador Sterling froze.
"Stay back. There's still residual toxic gas on me; it hasn't completely dissipated," she said, her voice slightly hoarse but carrying its usual lazy indifference.
Ambassador Sterling halted immediately, looking at her with deep concern. "Then are you—"
"I'm fine." Serena glanced at the time. "The gas around here will take about fifteen more minutes to clear out completely."
She lazily lifted her gaze, looking toward Cabin 10 and the severely pale Severian officials, her tone icy. "I'll leave the cleanup of the Severian government's human experiment fallout to you, along with the data handover for the mutant remains inside."
Serena shifted her gaze back to Ambassador Sterling. "I trust you can handle it."
