As if on cue, Master Carlson Barnett also spoke up in outrage.
He was the martial arts master who had performed the demonstration with Babur a while earlier.
âYou have gravely violated the very purpose of this competition! Iâve already reported your conduct to the National Martial Arts Association and asked them to remove you from the membership List!
From now on, you can forget about the society and just carry on with your thug-like practices!â
âNo! You canât do that!â
Babur burst out in disbelief.
He had been living on the funds provided by the association for practically half of his life.
If they terminated his membership, no other organization would be willing to accept him in the future.
His entire life would be ruined!
Babur was still reeling from the shock when Jennifer was wheeled onto the stage by her maid.
She took the microphone and addressed the crowd.
âOn behalf of the Turner family, I condemn the deeply shameful and sinister behavior of Babur Quinn.
He is henceforth blacklisted and forbidden to enter any establishment owned and operated by the Turner family.

Jennifer paused and looked to the side, where ten security guards were awaiting their orders.
âDrag this man out of the premises immediately!â
The uniformed men wasted no time and hauled he dejected Babur out of the venue.
The guests were buzzing with excitement as they enjoyed the show.
Many other CEOs followed suit and blacklisted Babur on their own businesses, and the busybodies lapped it up.
Needless to say, everyoneâs impression of Lucinda had drastically changed in a matter of moments.

he was a highly-skilled fighter as well.
She never ceased to amaze them, as everything she did seemed to turn into a visual feast to those who were lucky to witness it.
As far as they were concerned, no other woman was known to be this accomplished!
Just then, Carlson tried to approach Lucinda and shake hands with her, his face still a mask of charmed surprise.
He didnât even get to stand before her, though, as Cyrus immediately stopped Babur.
Nevertheless, Carlson was unfazed.
He didnât even seem embarrassed by this development.
Instead, he turned to Lucinda, his eyes brimming with appreciation.
âI must say, your jiu-jitsu technique is one of a kind and quite telling.
Are you the only disciple of the renowned master, Benico?â
A collective gasp came from the crowd.
âItâs no wonder that she wasnât intimidated by Babur at all! So, she is a disciple of the great Benico!â
âBenico only has one disciple, right? That means that Benico has personally taught her those skills.
Of course, Babur would lose!â
âThat explains why she was so arrogant just now.
She has every right to be! She has the skills to back up her attitude!â
