Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

This was yet another demonstration of his impressive skills.

A single word, "Daddy", was the price to recruit him into their team.

Although neither Hattie nor Zelena were particularly willing, the prospect of participating in the upcoming college tournament made them excited.

"Can we skip the 'Daddy' thing? I'll pay you to join us."

"No way."

Violeta's refusal was firm. "If you can't afford to lose, don't gamble."

They were speechless.

Zelena clenched her teeth. "Fine. If we say it, you join the team."

Violeta casually cleaned his ear. "Sure."

After the other side agreed, Zelena and Hattie reluctantly mumbled, "Daddy," in voices as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

Though they spoke softly, Violeta was prepared. She had three speakers at max volume, ensuring her phone could record their voices clearly.

Once the recording was done, Violeta grinned.

Zelena stated, "We had a deal. You have to join us."

Violeta turned off her voice changer in the background and spoke in her original voice. "Sorry, I've changed my mind. There's a saying: birds of a feather flock together. Playing with trash like you would only tarnish my reputation for years."

The three were dumbfounded.

Their opponent's voice suddenly shifted from a deep male tone to a crisp female voice.

Zelena and her friends were stunned. What was going on? Why did his voice suddenly change into a woman's voice?

Wasn't he a guy?

Hattie stammered, "Y-You're... not a guy?"

Casey added, "Wait a minute, why does her voice sound so familiar?"

A bad feeling crept over Zelena. "Is she ... Violeta?"

Zelena was the first to recognise Violeta's voice, and Violeta felt quite pleased.

She sneered, "Zelena, how was your summer holiday? I'm glad you remember Daddy's voice. It makes me happy."

Zelena turned speechless.

Boom!

Zelena was boiling with anger.

Hattie was equally shocked. "Violeta?! You pretended to be a man to trick us, you b*tch!"

By now, it was too late for regrets.

Hattie was just as furious as Zelena.

They had hoped to recruit a valuable ally, only to be played by Violeta, and now they had even called her "Daddy".

How could they ever face her at school again? Their reputations were ruined!

"Violeta, you're the worst!"

Violeta laughed. "Oh, come on, don't be like that. Just a moment ago, you were calling me 'Daddy' so shyly!"

Hattie was shaking with anger and outright denied it.

"I didn't say it! You're imagining things!"

Zelena retorted, "What proof do you have that we said it? Don't accuse us without evidence!"

Violeta didn't respond. Instead, she simply took out her phone and played the recording of them calling her "Daddy".

"Daddy

... Daddy... Daddy... Daddy...

The voices of Zelena and Hattie echoed in an endless loop.

Kaboom!

The thunder roared louder outside, mirroring the chaos inside Zelena and Hattie's hearts.

At this moment, they both wished they could strangle Violeta.

Violeta had tricked us and had our voices recorded?!

This sneaky little b*tch!

Hattie roared angrily, "Delete that recording right now! Delete it!"

Violeta casually scratched her ear, ignoring Hattie's demand.

"What? I can't hear you. Bad signal

"

...

After saying that, she exited the room and logged out of the game.

Oh, the sweet satisfaction!

Even without seeing Zelena and Hattie, she could vividly imagine their rage on the other side of the screens. They must be gritting their teeth, losing sleep, and driven to the brink of madness...

It's so entertaining!

As long as she had the recording, she could torment them whenever she wanted once school started.

The thrill was far better than winning dozens of ranked games in a row.

After Violeta left the game, Hattie tried to invite her back into the room, only to find Violeta's avatar greyed out.

That little b*tch had already logged off!

"Ahhhh!

"Violeta, you dared to play with me like this. I won't let you get away with it!"

In her rage, Hattie swept everything off her desk to the floor.

Thunk! Crash!

The hatred between them was only getting deeper!

Hattie was furious. "Violeta, I'll make sure you lose miserably in the college tournament!"

Meanwhile, at the Blake family ...

Zelena leapt up from her chair, fuming.

It was impossible for her to guess that the guy earlier was Violeta!

Since when this b*tch can change her voice?

No! She must be using a voice changer.

This realisation made Zelena's face flush with anger. She nearly smashed something in her fury but managed to hold herself back.

After all, she was at home. Destroying things would ruin her image in her parents' eyes.
