Beck and the others directly responded with anger. Designers like them hate plagiarism the most Leonard not only plagiarized but also showed no

remorse.

Meanwhile, Leonard seemed oblivious to everyone’s disdain and continued to assert his presence. He sat down in front of them and said to them. “Is your design going to be the same as mine this time, too

Beck said in a deep voice. “You really know how to twist things around.”

Hearing this. Leonard shook his head and nodded, replying with a provocative tone, “Well, I hope you can maintain that confidence later.”

Then, he got up and sat next to Clin.

Cynthia was concerned that her team members‘ spirits might be dampened. She comforted them, saying, “Ignore him. People like him only know how to talk. Don’t let it bother you”

Beck looked at Leonard and Cliff, feeling uneasy. He whispered to Cynthia. “I didn’t think it would go so well today”

“Don’t worry. I have arranged it” As Cynthia spoke, she cast a meaningful glance at Bryant, who had been visibly agitated beside her.

The finals were officially underway

The contestants took turns presenting their robots on stage. Soon, it was Leonard’s turn onto the stage. Then, he pushed his robot forward and lifted the black cloth draped over it

They were all anxious. It was the final, after all. If they screw this up again, they would never get a chance. Not only go to waste, but Sullivan Group would also suffer as a consequence.

Cynthia was not in a hurry and sat there calmly. She comforted the others, “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared for this. This time, uncover anyone with ill intentions,” Cynthia assured.

on stage were wrapping up. When the emcee prepared to announce the next contestant to get ready.

She walked onto the stage confidently, taking the host’s microphone with permission. Her clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the hall, capturing the attention of many. “Ladies and gentlemen, our work bears a striking resemblance to that of this gentleman’s. As many of you may

recall, a similar situation arose during the preliminary round, and now it has surfaced again. The immediate reaction is often suspicion of plagiarism.”

She continued, “I also harbor this thought, but if I say that I am not the one who plagiarizes, many people will not believe it. Therefore, I’ve requested the organizers to allow both projects to be displayed on stage together, with the developers personally detailing every aspect. The developers of medical robots must possess a solid understanding of medicine. This ensures that when we present our narratives on stage, everyone can discern any instances of plagiarism.”

Cynthia’s eyes were firm, and her voice w

was steady.

Leonard’s palms began to sweat. He didn’t expect Cynthia to stir up trouble. He only learned the details of the robot last night, and he knew nothing about medicine either. He looked at Cliff next to him for help.

Cliff also frowned. He took out his phone and sent a text message.

Soon, someone in the panel raised an objection. “Since the rules have been formulated, we should follow them. As for plagiarism, we can investigate it privately.”

The man was Graham Abbey, one of the judges in the competition. Cliff’s message was sent to him.

Leonard’s stage appearance order was just ahead of Cynthia’s tearn both times, and it was Graham who secretly arranged this.

Cynthia glanced over and locked eyes with Graham in the j crucial in any competition. With the recent plagiarism concerns, I’m sure the audience would like to uncover the truth as well. The robot

After Cynthia finished her speech, the audience and some contestants began to cheer.

“Yes, this matter can’t be resolved offstage. Otherwise, there’s no telling if there will be favoritism, someone from the audience asserted.

Graham spoke again. “Calm down, everyone. We’re only halfway through the competition. Investigating plagiarism now would delay the performances of other contestants, which wouldn’t be fair to them

Hearing this, Cynthia replied in a low voice, “We don’t need to take up others time. There’s ample time for our presentation, provided you agree to let us have a detailed presentation on the same stage”

If you’re confident, compete. If not, you’re free to withdraw, Graham declared firmly, seeing that

“No, we have never set a precedent like this. If negotiations were futile.

As soon as he said that the audience seemed to be in a rage.

“Is he the one behind that plagiarist someone raised his doubt.

One replied, “Judging from his attitude. Leonard might be the one who plagiarized”

“Yes. Ms. Larson’s persistence stands in stark contrast to Leonard’s silence. I believe he must be feeling guilty, someone remarked.

The crowd burst into discussion

Hearing this, Leonard began to sweat on his back. He knew that if there were a confrontation, he would lose.

Cliff sent over the main data of the robot very late last night. He stayed up all night, barely inputting the data. However, he didn’t have time to thoroughly examine the main function of the robot.

Leonard used to specialize in entertainment robots, which were completely different from medical robots. When he signed up for the competition, Cliff approached him, offering 30 thousand dollars and a stack of robot information Cliff asked him to use this data to create a robot for the competition, with the 30 thousand dollars as his reward.

Leonard read the file and agreed. The sophisticated algorithm in the file was something he could never have developed himself. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But now, Leonard regretted his decision. The most taboo in the design industry was plagiarism. If confirmed, it could lead to being ostracized from the industry and possibly facing legal consequences.

The audience reacted strongly. Some contestants even spoke out, saying. “My team is scheduled to come on stage after Ms. Larson. If she needs more time. I’m willing to give up a third of my allotted time.
