Female Novel
Chapter 332
Reuben felt his cheeks burning with shame. Just several minutes ago, he claimed that the pretentiousman across from him couldn’t even take one strike from Feliciano, but reality gave him a slap in theface.
It turned out that it was Feliciano who couldn’t take one move from the other party, not the other wayaround. His prediction was wrong, so he had practically embarrassed himself.
He was a man who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, after all. After recovering from his shock,he quickly told some people to take Feliciano away.
Feliciano was unwilling to accept defeat, though he didn’t have a choice. Besides the spectators, he,who was the one involved in the fight, also couldn’t clearly see how the person made a move. Afterbeing severely injured, he didn’t dare to stay there any longer. As such, he had to go back andrecuperate as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would be left with serious health concerns.
After listening to Feliciano’s request, Reuben agreed to it and ordered a subordinate to send the manback to the Flynn Residence.
There would be a total of three rounds, and the party with two wins would be victorious. After everyround, there would be a ten-minute break. While the fight halted, Reuben and Leah whispered amongthemselves. They had to be the winner in the next fight. If they were defeated again, the politicalmarriage between the two families would be ruined. Correspondingly, their alliance would cease toexist as well.
During the break, Theodore called to tell Quincy the results. “We’ve won the first round, Mr. Hofstead!You have no idea how livid the old witch Leah looks now. Hahaha!”novelbin
Quincy let out a sigh of relief upon learning the good news. “You guys have done a great job. With theTravises’ help, Reuben and Leah won’t have the guts to cause a scene. Have Thomas and the rest
arrived?”
“Not yet. I suppose they’re on their way. As you know, the traffic in Capitalis can be a nightmare.”
Quincy nodded. “You have a point. Keep an eye on everything. If anything happens, give me a call rightaway.”
“Yes, Mr. Hofstead.”
After the ten-minute break, Reuben and Leah decided to get help from Enrico, a martial arts expertfrom the Wilkerson Family.
When an elderly man in purple clothes made an appearance, all the spectators gasped, for he wassignificantly more powerful than Feliciano. The Wilkersons had a total of seven martial arts experts,and the one on the platform ranked fifth. He had made a name for himself in Capitalis long ago.
Colby clicked his tongue and remarked, “It seems that Leah is flustered, Grandpa.”
Kyrie nodded, though he wasn’t surprised. After all, if Leah lost the second round, her plan would godown the drain. Therefore, it was only natural that she decided to use the help of such a powerfulperson. She was like standing on the edge of a cliff. If she took a step backward, she would fall into thechasm. As such, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on.
“It’s no big deal. Tell our contender to KO him with only one move just like what he had done earlier,”Kyrie ordered impassively.
Over the years, the Flynns and the Wilkersons had been throwing their weights around in Capitalis.Hence, Kyrie decided to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson and let them know that there werealways more powerful people out there.
“Yes, Grandpa.” Colby sent a signal to the masked man on the platform, who nodded in response.
Meanwhile, Olivia, who was watching everything from the balcony, was frustrated. “Why didn’t Gunnargo on stage? It would’ve been wonderful if he were the one collapsing to the floor and spitting blood.”
“Well, lucky for him that he didn’t go on stage. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have a chance to spitblood.”
“What do you mean? Is Gunnar so powerful?” Olivia turned her head and looked at the woman with heralluring eyes.
Gwen shook her head and spoke in a voice filled with disdain. “You’re getting me wrong, Olivia. I’msaying that if Gunnar were on the platform earlier, he would’ve passed away instantly. It is unlikely thathe would have been injured and spit blood. Like, come on! Everyone in Capitalis knows that he’s aweakling. The Flynns have used a lot of precious herbs to produce a good-for-nothing like him, and hehas even self-proclaimed to be the most powerful cultivator in Capitalis. That’s the funniest joke I’veever heard. If not for the Flynns’ support, he would’ve been a nobody. How does he have the nerve toact haughtily all the time? I feel disgusted just by looking at him.”
Olivia was relieved upon hearing the woman’s words. “That’s great. My man will be here at anymoment. Given his temperament, he’ll definitely teach Gunnar a lesson. If Gunnar is powerful, I’mworried my man won’t be a match for him.”
“Although Gunnar isn’t a genius, it’s not like anyone can defeat him.”
A confident Olivia waved her hand. “It’s fine. My man is formidable. As long as Gunnar isn’t a peerlesscultivator, my man will be able to defeat him.” She paused for a moment before correcting herself, “No,no, no. Even if Gunnar is a peerless cultivator, my man will still be able to destroy him. Thomas is thebest of the best!”
“Is your man really so incredible?”
“That’s for sure! Back then, my man gave the owner of Keyshire Property a call and made him pass methe business. Don’t you think he’s wonderful?”
“Keyshire Property? Are you talking about the leader in the real estate market of Irieson?”
There were only a small number of giants in the business of real estate in the entire Droycore. Forexample, the real estate market in Capitalis was an oligopoly. However, Keyshire Property was adominant company that had monopolized the real estate market in Irieson. The other real estatecompanies could only pick up the crumbs that Keyshire Property had left behind. Certainly, Gwen hadheard of such a famous company.
“Yes, it’s that Keyshire Property. Rafael had even sent me the agreement personally.” Olivia appearedproud because her man was a capable person.
Gwen was astounded deep within, for Rafael was the one who founded the company. She had heard athing or two about Rafael’s background. It was inconceivable that the man would easily give up hiscompany. She couldn’t help but wonder who Thomas truly was.
Meanwhile, Reuben and Leah sported solemn expressions, no longer looking as calm and collected asbefore. They looked nervously at the platform, for there wouldn’t be a third round if they lost the currentone.
When the gong was struck, the second round started. This time, the masked man stopped beingpassive. Instead, he decided to make a move first.
The moment the drum was struck, he charged toward Enrico and lifted his leg before kicking hisopponent out of the platform.
Everyone fell into an eerie silence, and they could even hear their own heartbeats.
