Chapter 409



.

The action was filled with contempt.

Quentin’s actions excited everyone.

Everyone jumped to their feet and pointed their middle finger at the ring.

The attendees came from all walks of life, but all were already part of the working society. Some were fathers, while others were mothers. All their youthful passion had long since been erased by society.

It was very difficult to even hold the tournament itself. Moreover, from the way Nora had defeated all of her opponents with a single move at the beginning, one could easily see that the contestants in the martial arts tournament did not really have any substance or skill.

In today’s age of material desires, martial arts might have become a thing of the past long ago.

No one wanted to practice and train hard from a young age just for a martial arts tournament. That’s why the Quinn School of Martial Arts and the Irvin School of Martial Arts had such a high status in the pugilism world, because they were the only two sects that had financial backing. Not only did they not charge any tuition to practice martial arts, but they even provided financial allowances and salaries to support disciples and give them confidence in training.

Big Brother and Big Sister had thus become the faith of these martial arts practitioners.

Now, everyone’s bloodlust was awakened at this instant.

It was as if those days when they were still young and conceited were before their eyes.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ring. All the indignation and humiliation from being insulted a moment ago had vanished, and in that instant only confidence and passion remained.

They firmly believed that the martial arts of the United States would definitely defeat the Hall of Benevolence.

When Victor and the other two saw this, they all frowned.

They, who were originally the victors, seemed to lose their momentum, and stepped out of the ring pathetically.

“Get out of the ring! Traitor!”

“A traitor like you can’t live well for long!”

“A mere boxing champion dares to come here to provoke us? Team Third of the World will teach you how to behave!”

Amidst everyone’s shouts, Quentin looked at Victor and the other two from behind, and his expression turned serious.

Looking back at the encounter from a moment ago, he realized that Victor and his companions had become stronger.

Considering how strong they were, unless Big Brother joined their team, with just him and Big Sister, they might not be able to win.

With this in mind, Quentin put his head down, picked up his phone and sent a text message to Nora: “Nora, Victor and his teammates have gotten stronger again. Why don’t we cooperate with Big Brother?”.

After sending the message, he continued to write, “They have been too arrogant. We should kick their asses tomorrow night.”

After sending the message, he looked around. Seeing that nothing else was happening, he prepared to go home.

Suddenly, he received a text message, “Boss, someone is investigating Miss Nora again.”

The message was from someone in the Smiths’ secret forces.

Quentin’s participation in the tournament was a private matter, so he had not taken them with him.

Quentin had instructed the Smiths’ secret forces to keep an eye on Nora and protect her during this period of time. They were to inform him immediately if they found any unidentified persons investigating her.

He replied, “I’m coming right away.”

He had to ensure his cousin’s safety.

She might be the Big Sister he was protecting, but that just meant that all the other nobodies like them were not to bother her.

After sending the message, she headed for the parking lot.

After Victor and his partners got out of the ring and into the car, they got a call from Abigail.

“How did it go tonight?” She asked.

Antoine, the bald guy, replied, “Piece of cake. However, they seem to be very pleased with Team Third in the World and have threatened to teach us a lesson tomorrow.”

Abigail scoffed, “Team World Third? Just the name alone sounds weak already. If they only get third place, isn’t the championship title still ours in the end?”.

Antoine immediately burst out laughing. He seemed very sure of himself.

Victor, who was listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but wet himself. “That woman in the red dress from Team Third in the World is Big Sister.”

His sentence caused everyone in the car to fall silent.

Apparently sensing the silence of the others, Abigail scoffed, “A mere woman has frightened them? Victor, you have to believe in yourself – you are definitely a match for her now! Even if Big Brother joins them, the three of you can beat them!”

Victor lowered his head. “I find that difficult.”

Antoine scoffed, “What’s wrong with you, Vic, do you really lower yourself at a time like this? No wonder people say Americans are incompetent. You’re all so thin-skinned and weak. It’s obvious at a glance that none of you can put up a fight.”

The last person in the team of three was also a foreigner. When he heard what Antoine said, he gave Victor a cheeky look and burst out laughing. “Hahahaha!”

Victor’s face darkened. “How about a match between you and me, Antoine? I’ll show you who’s the strongest on this team.”

Antoine grimaced and said nothing.

Antoine was very strong. His strength was on par with Victor’s. However, Victor fought in a way that threw caution to the wind and disregarded his own safety. How could he dare to fight him?

Besides…

Antoine found himself a fantastic excuse. “Tomorrow we’ll be facing the World’s Third Team. We shouldn’t have an internal conflict at a time like this.”

Victor wanted to speak, but Abigail interrupted him, “Vic, in your opinion, what are our chances of beating them?”.

Victor answered slowly, “70 – 30.”

Antoine broke into an immediate smile. “That’s more than enough! Victory is practically in the bag with a 70% chance of winning.”

Victor raised his head. The look in his eyes was cold as he said, “What I meant was that our chances of winning are 30% and 70% yours.”

Antoine narrowed his eyes.

Victor said, “I am the only one who has fought Big Sister before in the tournament. She is not to be underestimated. Besides, she hadn’t used her full strength when she hit me that time. No one knows how strong she really is. Besides, there’s also that crazy Smithin helping her. The man wearing the black mask may look useless, but what if he’s also a martial arts expert? We may not necessarily be his match.”

His analysis made a lot of sense. At last, Antoine and Abigail dared not tease him anymore.

Abigail suddenly asked, “Vic, would you like the third dose of the drug?”

Victor’s head snapped up. “Yes!”

A dim light flickered in the man’s eagle eyes – he had to have it!

Abigail said, “Then think of a way to win the match. Or else you can forget about getting the third dose.”

Victor clenched his fists.

Suddenly something occurred to him and he said, “I have a plan…”.

When he finished, Abigail and Antoine were silent for a while. The next moment, Abigail laughed and said, “Not bad, you’ve got potential, kid! Do what Vic says.”

On the Smiths.

As Nora’s mind was on Lily’s test results, she practically opened her eyes and woke up the same instant Lily’s message came in.

Next to her, Pete even looked at her in surprise that she had woken up.

Nora reached over and turned on her phone. Sure enough, she saw Lily’s message: “Your test results are in. I’ve emailed them to you.”
