Chapter 386



Quentin moved very quickly. When it looked like he was about to pull the mask off, and even Nora was caught off guard, a large hand suddenly grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back a couple of steps. She fell straight into the man’s arms.

The man’s familiar aura of testosterone took Nora by surprise.

She turned to see Justin staring at her. After quickly letting go of her waist, the man said in a deep, gravelly voice, “You’re welcome.”

Nora: “…”

She didn’t really plan on thanking him.

She sat up and looked at Quentin. “What are you doing?”

Quentin felt quite sorry that he hadn’t managed to get the mask off. He said, “I’m sorry, Big Sister. I just wanted to see what you really looked like.”

As he approached her, he had seen Big Sister distance herself for the first time. She also seemed distracted and somewhat dazed, so he had considered that this was probably the best chance he would get.

Unexpectedly, she had failed.

She couldn’t help but glance at Justin, who was wearing a black mask.

Why was he showing off with his displays of love at a critical time like that?

Couldn’t he just hug her at home? And to think he was doing it in public – was it because he thought he was single and didn’t have a girlfriend?

He curved his lips in disdain and ignored Justin. Instead, he showed Nora a lot of admiration and asked, “Why haven’t you been here for the last two days, Big Sister?”

Nora: “?”

Didn’t he know exactly what she was doing?

She curved her lips into a smile and replied, “I had business to attend to.”

Quentin nodded. “Turns out I had some business to attend too. My cousin was framed, so I went to save her. By the way, will we still be participating in today’s meeting, Big Sister?”

“Yes.”

Nora agreed without hesitation.

Quentin looked around.

“Looking for someone?” asked Nora.

Quentin nodded. “I saw my cousin’s car outside. She must have heard about the tournament somewhere and came here to have fun. I’m afraid she’ll offend someone because she doesn’t know the rules, so I’m looking to see if I can find her. I don’t know where she’s hiding, though.”

Nora: “…”

Beside her, Cherry, who had the phone in her hand, swept her eyes around Quentin and shook her head a little. It would probably take forever for that dumb uncle of hers to figure out that Mom was Big Sister!

Nora and Justin were the two pillars of the martial arts circle. With Quentin, the self-proclaimed third, next to them, their team was practically advancing unopposed.

Before entering the ring, Quentin even told Justin: “Remember to protect yourself when the time comes. You are the weakest of the three. Don’t give the opponents any chance to advance.”

Justin: “…”

His words caused Nora to give Justin a careful, scrutinizing look.

The two had fought each other a few times before, but she hadn’t been able to completely suppress Justin before. This showed that the man was very strong. Who exactly was he, from whom had he learned his martial arts?

Perhaps because he noticed her stare, Justin moved closer to her and let out a chuckle. With his cutie mark covered by his mask, the man’s eyes were dark and bottomless looking a little less bewitching than usual. He told her, “I’ll take off the mask and let you look at me for free when the fight is over and we go home. Don’t look anymore for now.”

Nora: “!”

Quentin: “…”

For some reason, he felt they were showing again how in love they were. They were both too cocky!

Were they here to compete or to show how deeply in love they were with each other?

The unhinged Quentin displayed his martial prowess to the fullest and utterly defeated his opponent.

With all the points they had recently accumulated, they had reached D class.

The team of three fought twice more. However, as they were about to leave for the night, the tournament organizer approached them with a worried look. He said to them, “Please wait a moment, the three of you.”

The trio stopped and looked at the organizer with confusion.

The organizer sighed and asked, “Can the three of you wait a while and watch a specific match?”.

Watch a specific meeting?

All three nodded.

Quentin had agreed because the tournament was being organized by Ryan. In the end, the Smiths had to take responsibility for the tournament.

As for Justin, as a leading figure in the martial arts circle, he had his responsibilities, of course.

Although Nora was not actively involved in the affairs of the Quinn School of Martial Arts, as a Big Sister, she would play her part in keeping order at the tournament, so she also agreed.

The organizer led the trio to Arena No. 5.

After the one-on-one bouts were over, the team bouts would take place at intervals.

However, Nora was stunned when she saw the three people in the ring because….

The people in the ring were none other than Victor and his two fellow disciples!

The three of them were disciples of the Hall of Benevolence, which had only been established for two years. Moreover, the owner of the Hall of Benevolence was none other than the foreign boxing champion, Abigail!

But why had those three suddenly formed a team?

As he wondered, the organizer beside him sighed and said, “That man named Victor, as well as his two fellow disciples, have suddenly become very strong. At first, we didn’t think much of it; after all, once they get to Class F, there are Big Brother and Big Sister who will give them a lesson or two.”

As he said that, he gave Justin a secret glance.

Seeing that Justin ignored him, he continued and said, “But, unexpectedly, those three have formed a team. Now that they’ve become a three-man team, it may actually be true that no one can beat them anymore!”

Quentin snorted coldly at her words. “Why could no one beat them, how can you look down on yourself when you haven’t even fought them? There’s still me and the Herm…. My sister, aren’t we?”

She had originally meant to say ‘Big Sister’, but suddenly remembered that Big Sister wanted to hide her identity, so she ended up saying ‘sister’ instead.

Nora: “?”

Her lips slowly curved into a smile. She couldn’t help but wonder if that guy would still be able to call her ‘Big Sister’ once he knew who she really was.

The organizer, however, misunderstood him and thought Quentin meant ‘Big Brother’, so he didn’t think too hard about it. He just sighed and said, ‘There’s only the two of you. Besides, it’s one on one. To be honest, I’m not worried about Big Sister or Big Brother taking on Victor in a one on one. But there are three of them, so… It’s hard to know the outcome!”

The organizer looked at Justin.

Victor and his two disciples were comparable in strength to Big Sister and Big Brother now. Unfortunately, World Team Three only had Big Brother and Quentin, who was the third. How were they going to be able to beat them?

Quentin sighed as well. “Yes. I’m not trying to look down on you, but you’re slowing us down, brother.”

However, he continued to say even-handedly, “Just try hard. It doesn’t matter if you lose. We’re all Americans here, so it doesn’t matter.”

As soon as he said that, the organizer was silent for a moment. Finally, he let out a big sigh and asked, “Do you know what his team’s name is?”

“Which one is it?”

“Americans are incompetent.”

His words stunned the three of them.

Quentin shouted angrily, “What kind of ridiculous name is that, did they really allow it?”

The organizer was also very angry. “We don’t have any rules in the tournament. It’s like no one says anything even if you call your team The First in the World…. They took advantage of that loophole. So, you still think it’s okay to lose?”
