Nora stood still. Before she could move, the group had already approached Cherry, Justin and her.
After the group passed them with great momentum, an astonished Cherry asked, âMommy, did Grandpa Quinn take another disciple behind your back?â
Nora: ââ¦â
Justin: ââ¦â
Nora was quiet for a moment before unhurriedly saying, âSheâs a fake.â
âThat scared the hell out of me.â Cherry patted her chest and said, âI thought Grandpa Quinn had finally come to his senses and accepted that youâre unfit for martial arts, so he didnât want you anymore!â

Nora looked at Cherry with a cold stare. âWhat did you say?â
Cherry immediately smiled and said, âI was congratulating you mom! Youâre not fit to be a martial artist because youâre the queen of martial arts herself! Youâre amazing even if you donât practice anything! You donât need to work hard at all!â
ââ¦â
Her flattery skills simply left one speechless.
As they spoke, they had already left. The staff member who had led Nora inside was standing at the front and trying to coax her next target. He said, âDo you want to have your picture taken with Big Sister Quinn School of Martial Arts? It costs 3,000 per picture.â
Nora walked up and said, âTake me to Big Brother Irvin Martial Arts School.â
The staff member was about to nod his head when he turned and saw Justin, which came as quite a shock.
Truth be told, the martial arts tournament had become less and less profitable in recent years. Therefore, Martial Arts School Big Sister Quinn and Martial Arts School Big Brother Irvin, who were admired by everyone, had become their new way of making money.
That particular staff member was one of the few veterans who had remained, so naturally he knew who Justin was.
Although he hadnât seen what Irvin Martial Arts Schoolâs Big Brother looked like ten years ago, he remembered his contestant number very well 057.
He couldnât help rubbing his eyes and looking again at the contestant number on Justinâs bracelet: it was indeed 057!
He swallowed and coughed, âBig Brother?â
Justin squinted behind the mask. His voice was low but cold and sounded vaguely threatening. He said, âYes. Didnât you say heâs in the office and we can have our picture taken with him? Weâd like to meet him.â
The staff member: ââ¦â
The one who was there was a fake! What was the real one making a scene here for!
Besides, Justin had always known that someone was impersonating him. They had already informed Big Brother about it.
However, since Big Brother had said that, he had to let him take a look.
Therefore, the staff member coughed and led the way. âThis way, please,â he said.
He led the way earnestly for the few, which in turn made Nora quite hesitant.
It seemed he wasnât going to budge unless they gave him money. Why had he stopped discussing prices with them? Was he planning to swindle them after allowing them to meet Big Brother?
In the midst of his thoughts, they came to a room and he knocked on the door.
The door opened.
Nora looked at the person in the room.
A man with a mask on was sitting quietly and firmly on the couch. You couldnât see what he looked like, but you could tell the man was very arrogant. He frowned and said to the staff member, âWhy are you bothering me again?â.
The staff member coughed and replied, âThese two people want to meet you.â
âIâm very busy.â
The âBig Brotherâ, who was sitting on the couch, said sullenly, âIf you donât need anything, go away!â.
âI have something I need.â
Nora suddenly spoke up.
âBig Brotherâ looked at her immediately. âWhat do you want?â
The staff member also turned around to look at Nora. He wanted to ask her what she wanted, but before he could say anything, a shadow passed in front of him. Nora rushed into the room and slammed her fist into Big Brotherâs face.
Bam!
Her punch was quick and powerful, which stunned âBig Brotherâ. The next moment, his eyes closed and he fainted.
The staff member: â?â
He was furious. âWhat are you doing, how dare you attack Big Brother?â
Nora, who had knocked the man out with one punch: â?â
He looked at his fist in surprise, then at the man in front of him: blood was already pouring out of his mask.
ââ¦â
A strange silence filled the place.
Just as Nora was about to apologize, Justinâs deep, deep voice rang out. âHeâs passed out. Take him to the hospital.â
Seeing that he had spoken, the staff member didnât dare say anything else. He called the medics immediately.
There were specially hired doctors in the arena, in case people were seriously injured in the tournament. They rushed over.
The group of people quickly took the injured man away. Not even the staff member who had led them there took care of the matter. In fact, he didnât even dare to give them a glance, but quickly slipped away with the crowd.
Nora: ââ¦â
Startled, she asked, âYouâre just going to let me go just like that?â
However, she stopped when she looked at Justin.
For some reason, Justin had a somewhat strange look on his face when he looked at her, as if he was the one who had been punched a moment ago.
As he thought about it, Justin coughed and asked, âYou want to punch Big Brother that badly?â
âYes.â
Nora looked down at her fist and let out a sigh. âUnfortunately, that guy from a moment ago was a phony.â
Justin: â?â
Nora told him her analysis. âI already threw the punch very slowly a moment ago, but he still didnât manage to react in time. Besides, the staff member didnât dare to ask me to settle accounts at all. Based on all that, that âBig Brotherâ was a fake.â
He waved his fist in the air and said, âI wonder when I can really punch him in the face.â
Justin: ââ¦â
He suddenly felt his cheek really hurt.
The staff didnât pursue the matter even after he punched the fake Big Brother, so Nora could only follow Justin back to the arena.
Soon, it was Noraâs match.
She was in ring 6.
When the announcer called her contestant number 028, she stepped forward and prepared to enter the ring. It was at that moment that Smithin jumped out of nowhere and grabbed her. He asked her, âHey, are you going into the ring to compete?â.
Nora: â?â
She looked at the black-clad teenager with the mask and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âYou sure are unlucky. To think that youâve been assigned to âTired Reindeerâ for your first match. You know, even though heâs a rookie, heâs already won nine fights in a row. Once he wins the match with you, heâll advance to Class B.â
Nora frowned. âAnd then?â
Smithin thought a moment. Then he tried to persuade her and said, âYouâve seen it, havenât you? âTired Reindeerâ is a big guy. He can knock you down with one punch. I advise you to give up. A delicate young lady like you shouldnât get in the ring. It would look very bad if you had to beg for mercy on your knees afterwards.â
Nora: â????â
Smithin lifted her chin and said, âWhy are you looking at me? Heâs also my opponent in my next fight. Just give up, Iâll beat him up for you in the next fight! You can think of it as revenge.â
