Chapter 387



.

Was it okay to lose?

Of course it wasn’t.

Quentin said, “Let’s face them in a match! We’ll kick their asses.”

The organizer looked at him and shook his head again. “Geez. Let’s get back to talking about it after they see their encounter.”

Quentin didn’t understand what he meant, but soon after he did.

He had originally thought that Victor must be the strongest of the three, but unexpectedly, the bald black man next to him was actually the strongest.

His body was as if made of steel, and he seemed immune to all attacks. All the teams they were facing were D-class, but the three of them played with all of them as if they were babies.

This time Victor was no longer so lacking in martial arts ethics.

Victory was his once the three threw their opponents out of the ring.

There was no applause around them. Victor was silent and said nothing. The bald man next to him rubbed his bald head and said something in a foreign language.

Someone who didn’t understand asked, “What did he say?”

Cherry translated for him. “He said, “Isn’t there anyone in the United States who knows how to wrestle?”

“…”

That single sentence of hers made everyone shut up.

Even Quentin, who was normally the most talkative person, had a serious look on his face. He stared at them for quite a while before he finally leaned over to Nora and asked, “Big Sister, have you noticed…?”

“They’ve gotten stronger.”

Nora answered him immediately.

Quentin nodded immediately. “Yes, and it’s not just a little bit. Why do I feel that Victor can last a few dozen moves against you now?”

Nora replied, “Twenty moves.”

Quentin: “…”

Big Sister was simply too sure of herself!

But…

She felt an acute sense of crisis. “I was originally ranked third in New York, but now I feel threatened by that guy. Other than Big Brother and Big Sister, there’s probably no one else who can be his rival now, right? I can only tie with them at best.”

The organizer sighed and said, “Now you understand why I asked you to watch the match, right? It will probably only be possible to defeat them if Big Brother and Big Sister team up.”

Quentin nodded immediately. “I think so too.”

Even if she could stop Victor, Big Sister would have a hard time taking on the other two by herself.

The organizer said, “Of all the teams, World Team Three has the best chance of beating them. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I intend to arrange five matches for you every day, so that you can enter the F class as soon as possible. In this way, you will be able to take them on! Otherwise, if they hog the F-Class seats and clamor there every day, won’t we die of rage? I wonder if the three of them would agree.”

Justin looked directly at Nora and said, “She has the last word.”

The organizer: “…”

He looked at Nora.

Nora was quiet for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”

She was bound to keep her American pride in her martial arts.

The organizer looked back at Quentin.

Quentin, who had a stern look on his face, hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Agreed! After all, as a person ranked third in the world, who else can do it, if not me?”.

The organizer finally let out a sigh of relief and left.

As he left, Quentin approached Justin and Nora. “Big Sister, I don’t think the three of us can win against the three of them because we have someone on the team holding us back.”

Both Justin and Nora nodded.

And wasn’t he?

He was quite self-conscious, after all.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Quentin said to Justin, “How about you take yourself off the team? If we replace you with Big Brother, we probably won’t have any more problems.”

Justin: “?”

He let out a low chuckle. He was about to speak when they were reached by a woman’s cold, urgent voice. “No, I don’t want that.”

Quentin: “?”

Justin looked at her as well, only to see dissatisfaction in Nora’s almond-shaped eyes. “I don’t want to be on the same team as him.”

Justin: “…”

Quentin also gaped. “Huh? Why?”

“We don’t get along.” After giving a brief explanation, Nora looked at Justin and added, “Besides, he’s not weak. The three of us can do it.”

Only Nora, who had fought him before, knew how strong Justin really was. Quentin used to fight very bravely against his opponents, so he had basically taken care of the opponents for Justin. In addition, he was carrying Cherry, which made Nora worry about him getting hurt, so she also helped him all the time.

As a result, despite being on the same team, Quentin still didn’t know how strong Justin ‘The Pretty Boy’ was.

Quentin liked Big Sister, but he also really liked Big Brother.

He couldn’t help but speak up for Big Brother. “Big Sister, what did Big Brother do to you? Did he steal your baby? Or did he steal your husband? Why are you so at odds with him?”

Nora: “…”

Quentin scratched his head. “Besides, I know you definitely think highly of your husband, but shouldn’t we be realistic? You can’t think your husband isn’t weak just because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

Then she raised her arm, lifted her chin and said, “Or how about I compete with him in a duel? If he can beat me, he can stay on the team.”

Nora looked at him and walked away.

Justin also looked at him and left.

Quentin: “?”

What did those two mean by that? Why did he get the feeling that the more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong?

Were they glaring at him?

The corners of his lips tightened and he pursued them. However, he could no longer see them.

It didn’t matter.

He would look for his cousin first.

He wandered around the arena but couldn’t find her. In the end, he decided to go to the parking lot and wait for her.

No matter where she was, she would eventually have to go to the parking lot, wouldn’t she?

Nora and Justin had already rounded the corner and pulled into the side road. After confirming that there was no one on either side, Justin said, “I know those two people who teamed up with Victor. They’ve been here since the beginning of the tournament, but at that time, they weren’t as strong as they are now.”

“So, does that mean they’ve gotten stronger too?”

Nora asked hesitantly.

Justin nodded.

Nora pulled out the bag of booze Justin stole from Victor and asked, “You know what Morris told me?”

Justin replied with virtually no hesitation, “Human experiments?”

Nora was surprised. “You know?”

“I guessed.”

Nora no longer had any doubts. Considering how smart Justin was, he must have already figured something out from the moment Morris started checking frequently to see if there were any unknown chemicals in Old Maddy’s body.

A puzzled Justin asked, “Do you suspect his increase in strength is related to illegal drugs?”

Nora held up the bag she was holding. “I’ll know if there’s any relation when I check the chemical composition of what’s in here overnight.”

Justin nodded. The two of them headed for the parking lot.

Nora had just reached her black jeep when Quentin got out after her.
