373  Chapter373: The Campaign Against Klay

"Yes, Lord Enzo!" The five youths responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

The victory in the finals not only brought glory to Alfa planet but also greatly boosted the morale of everyone involved. However, the joy of their success did not cause Enzo and the others to forget the threat posed by Klay.

On their way back to Alfa planet, Enzo gathered everyone together, his face serious. "Although we've won the competition, the threat posed by Klay is still very much present. We cannot afford to let our guard down. We need to find a way to eliminate this danger as soon as possible."

Patricia nodded in agreement. "That's right. Klay, as a Star League marshal, holds significant power. If he continues to target us, the consequences could be dire."

Kosor furrowed his brow. "So, what do we do? We can't keep playing defense forever."

Enzo paused, deep in thought, a determined glint in his eyes. "We can't keep running. We need to take the initiative. I plan to lead an elite team to Star League and confront Klay directly."

Matilda asked concernedly,"But won't that be too risky?"

Enzo shook his head. "The risk is inevitable, but we can't allow Klay to continue getting away with this. And I believe that if we prepare properly, we'll succeed."

Patricia spoke up as well. "I support Enzo's decision. We can't let Klay continue with his schemes. He needs to be taught a lesson."

However, Matilda stepped forward and said, "Enzo, my father knows Star League's Chief Marshal, Stephen Curry. How about we go see him first? We can ask for his opinion on how to handle Klay's situation."

Kosor nodded in agreement. "That sounds reasonable. We shouldn't escalate things unless we absolutely have to. Enzo, why don't you and Matilda go to see Stephen Curry, while Patricia and I take the kids back to Alfa planet to prepare for the third round of the competition?"

"Alright." Enzo agreed with a nod, and he and Matilda turned back to find Star League's Chief Marshal, Stephen Curry.

At the Star League headquarters, after going through a series of complicated directions and identity verifications, Enzo and Matilda finally arrived at Stephen Curry's office.

Stephen Curry was a middle-aged man, with a serious and dignified appearance, exuding an air of authority without having to raise his voice. He wore a well-tailored dark suit and was seated behind a large desk, intently reviewing a stack of documents.

When Enzo and Matilda were invited into the office, Stephen Curry looked up, his sharp eyes scanning them briefly before gesturing for them to sit.

"You are the representatives from Alfa planet, Enzo and Matilda?" Stephen Curry's voice was deep and commanding.

"Yes, we are." Enzo replied respectfully and briefly explained the purpose of their visit.

After listening, Stephen Curry furrowed his brow and paused in thought. He said,"Klay's actions are certainly reprehensible, but we need concrete evidence before we can take action against him. Do you have any proof that Klay used underhanded methods against you?"

Enzo and Matilda exchanged a look. Then, Matilda reached into her bag and pulled out a detailed report, handing it over to Stephen Curry. "This is all the evidence we've gathered, including proof that Klay drugged us and his attempts to sabotage our competition."

Stephen Curry took the report, flipping through it carefully. His gaze moved quickly over the pages, occasionally nodding or frowning as he read.

Finally setting the report down and looking up at Enzo and Matilda, Stephen Curry said, "This evidence seems quite sufficient. But according to Star League's rules, we still need to conduct a further investigation before making a final decision."

Enzo and Matilda felt a pang of anxiety. They knew this meant they might have to wait even longer.

Enzo said sincerely, "We understand your concerns, Mr. Curry. But time is critical. Our competition is about to enter the next round, and if Klay continues to interfere, we might lose the chance for a fair contest."

Turning to his assistant.Stephen Curry was silent for a moment before standing up, he said, "Alright. I will arrange for an immediate investigation into Klay. In the meantime, I will make sure he does not disrupt your competition. Get teams ready to monitor Klay and gather more evidence."

The assistant nodded and quickly left the office.

Enzo said gratefully,"Thank you for your understanding and support, Mr. Curry. We will wait patiently for the results of your investigation."

Stephen Curry gave a slight nod. "Rest assured, Star League will uphold the fairness of the competition. You should also prepare yourselves for the upcoming rounds."

Enzo and Matilda exhaled deeply as they left Stephen Curry's office. Though they knew the matter was far from resolved, they felt a slight sense of relief knowing that the official intervention had been made.

Matilda said, "I hope Mr. Curry can clarify this soon."

Enzo murmured, "Yes, but we can't rely on others entirely. We still need to prepare thoroughly, making sure we're ready for the competition, no matter what."

The two quickly returned to Alfa, where they met up with Kosor and Patricia to focus on the final preparations for the upcoming rounds.

...

A few days later, Stephen Curry's investigation results were ready. He summoned Enzo, Matilda, Kosor, Patricia, and other senior members of Star League for an emergency meeting.

Stephen Curry said gravely in the meeting, "After our investigation, we couldn't find any proof that Klay used unfair methods against Alfa's team. Mr. Enzo, are you sure about your claims? This is the result of Judge Draymond Green's own investigation."

Enzo's brow furrowed as he sensed something was off. He turned his gaze toward Draymond Green, the stern-faced Star League investigator with sharp eyes.

"Draymond Marshal, are you sure your investigation is accurate?" Enzo asked, his tone laced with doubt.

Draymond Green responded coldly, "Mr. Enzo, as a Star League investigator, I have always been known for my fairness and impartiality. My findings are indisputable."

Enzo's lip curled into a bitter smile. "Impartial? Then how do you explain the evidence we have? Are you claiming it's all fabricated?"

Draymond Green sneered at him. "Evidence? Ha! Those so-called pieces of evidence are just things you fabricated to frame Lord Klay."

Enzo's face turned pale with anger. He couldn't believe Draymond Green was twisting the truth so blatantly. Matilda and Patricia were equally enraged, while Kosor remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"Draymond Marshal, are you covering for Klay?" Matilda asked, her voice dripping with fury.

Draymond Green sneered, "Covering up? As an investigator for Star League, I only rely on facts and evidence. Without concrete evidence, I won't jump to conclusions."

"Fine, since you say the investigation shows there's no clear evidence against Klay, can I see the documentation from your investigation?" Enzo glared at Draymond Green.Then he said, "If you don't have the paperwork, then I'll judge that you're covering for him!"

Draymond Green's expression changed slightly at these words, but he quickly regained his composure. He coldly looked at Enzo, a hint of disdain curling his lips. "Mr. Enzo, are you questioning my professional capabilities? As an investigator for Star League, every investigation I conduct follows strict procedures, and the documents are of course available. But those are confidential files. I can't just show them to you."

Enzo was unyielding, his gaze piercing as he stared at Draymond Green. "If you have the documentation, then show it to everyone. If not, then you're covering for Klay and trying to hide the truth!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense, with everyone's gaze fixed on Draymond Green. He could feel the pressure mounting, but he maintained his calm, slowly replying, "Mr. Enzo, please don't get worked up. I will report my findings and provide the documents to Star League's higher-ups at the appropriate time. But now, is not the right moment."

Enzo let out a cold snort and said, "Draymond Marshall, are you trying to buy time, or are you hiding something and too afraid to present your so-called 'evidence'?"

Draymond Green's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table, standing up. He glared at Enzo and said, "Mr. Enzo, please watch your tone! I am an investigator for Star League, and my work is not something for you to question! If you have any complaints, you can file a report with the higher-ups of Star League, but please, don't cause a scene here!"

Enzo was not backing down either. He stood up, facing Draymond Green head-on. "Draymond Marshal, I'm not making a fuss. I'm simply seeking the truth and fighting for justice for the Alfa planet representative team! If you're truly innocent, then show us your investigation documents, so we can see what the truth really is!"

At that moment, Stephen Curry finally spoke up. He stood between Enzo and Draymond Green, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere. "Gentlemen, please, let's calm down. We're here to discuss the issue, not to argue. Draymond Marshal, since Mr. Enzo has doubts about your investigation, would you consider sharing some information with him to help clear up his concerns?"

Draymond Green hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, Stephen, since you put it that way, I'll show Mr. Enzo a portion of the investigation documents. But please note, this is only part of the content and does not represent the full conclusion of the investigation."
