Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 932: Chapter 454: Paranormal and Supernatural (First Update)_2

He mentioned "in previous years," so this year must be different.

Sure enough, Evan Stetford nodded and said, "Our rules today are slightly different."

"Firstly, the three official rounds of this Celestial Path Sect World Cup will be conducted onsite."

"In other words, the competition venue is not here at this conference hall, but will occur onsite according to each client’s needs where their problems need to be solved."

"Secondly, some parts of this competition will be broadcast live online."

Upon hearing this, those who paid high prices for tickets immediately frowned.

If the competition could only be watched online and not live, why did they spend so much money on tickets?

However, Evan Stetford was aware of their concerns and quickly said, "Ticket holders will receive a unique password to enter the live stream room and watch all the competition contents."

So having a ticket still held some privileges, which seemed fair and not too misleading.

Evan Stetford beamed, "When you return home later, you can enter your home theater, turn on your large-screen HD TVs, and comfortably watch the entire competition."

For these three rounds of the competition, the number of tickets available to the public decreased with each round.

By the final match, only the judges and fewer than twenty others had tickets to watch.

Evan Stetford added, "The live streaming of this competition is fully covered by Supreme Judge Quentin Parker’s provision of drone footage. The drones are equipped with an AI image recognition system produced by Far Promise Special Effects Company for real-time post-production. The streaming platform is the domestic Celestial Path App. Please download the App and prepare to watch."

Lawrence Winters was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected Evan Stetford to use Kenneth Osborne’s company’s AI image recognition system for real-time post-production, nor did she expect Evan to use the Celestial Path App for streaming.

After all, that Celestial Path App was developed by someone Nick Zeller found!

Previously, this App was only used by people within the Celestial Path Sect and not widely known in the country.

Once Evan Stetford broadcasts the advertisement for this Celestial Path Sect World Cup, the download numbers for her family’s Celestial Path App would surely skyrocket!

Lawrence Winters was delighted, already thinking about the small fortune she could earn from the fees...

But since when did Kenneth Osborne have a connection with Evan Stetford?

Lawrence Winters thoughtfully glanced at Kenneth Osborne, just in time to see him giving a thumbs-up towards Spring Spencer’s direction.

Lawrence Winters: "..."

She guessed that this matter definitely had something to do with Spring Spencer.

In fact, Kenneth Osborne only learned about it after arriving in New York.

Of course, according to the terms of the agreement, he had to keep it confidential, not even telling Lawrence Winters.

This business deal was entirely orchestrated by Spring Spencer.

At the time, Evan Stetford was merely looking for software capable of post-production effects on video, preferably real-time and with some artificial intelligence capabilities.

But unable to find satisfactory software, he consulted with Aiden Sheldon and Spring Spencer.

Unexpectedly, Aiden Sheldon and Spring Spencer both recommended Kenneth Osborne’s company’s product simultaneously.

Although they were still under litigation, as the court hadn’t started the trial, they were still able to conduct business.

This was an available cloud-based software that could be used immediately once the contract was signed and payment was made.

Aiden Sheldon merely recommended it, while Spring Spencer truly facilitated the business deal.

The intricacies of this were not entirely clear to Lawrence Winters, but her intuition wasn’t far off the mark.

She withdrew her gaze, her eyes dark as a starless night.

After the form of the competition was announced, next came the signing ceremony for the eight participants.

A few staff members brought them a pile of thick contracts to sign.

Lawrence Winters casually glanced through them and found the terms to be quite harsh.

Of course, as it was called a "life and death agreement," strictness was expected.

What could be more stringent than conditions threatening one’s life?

However, Lawrence Winters couldn’t understand why a competition had life-threatening risks...

In previous Celestial Path Sect martial arts tournaments, individuals might get injured, but no one ever died.

She quickly skimmed through the entire contract once more and, combining it with records of past competitions she had read, vaguely understood something.

So it was indeed possible to encounter those "abnormal" or supernatural phenomena and entities?

Lawrence Winters’ eyes flickered.

To be honest, having followed Nick Zeller and studied geomancy for so many years, she had never encountered any "supernatural" occurrences.

To her, everything could be calculated, everything could be explained.
