Chapter 1054
Beth folded her arms after she finished speaking, glancing toward Yule with a slight smile on her face.
Yule did not know whether to laugh or cry. She shrugged her shoulders. "I never thought that you would
think the same as I did, Beth," she said.
She paused here and looked at Fane before continuing, "I had no choice. This punk is m y older
brother, unfortunately. It'll be embarrassing if he were to lose terribly and becomes the butt of
everyone's joke. Besides, my mother told me to take care of him. I have to think of some ways to
prevent him from losing the first round. We'd never live it down otherwise!"
Fane did not know whether to laugh or cry
when he heard the conversation between them. Still, warmth tinged his insides;
these two young ladies were trying to look out for him.
Bang bang bang!
In a split second, over 30 people had been shoved off the stage.
"Strange. Why aren't those two liftings a finger?”
Someone realized that something was off. He could not help but mutter after he managed to get rid of
an opponent.
"Nash Woods!"
In the viewing gallery, Lily's expression had darkened. "You actually told those two t o protect Fane?
Heh. I never thought that you would resort to such dirty tactics for the sake of your son."novelbin
Nash had been watching everything unfold on the fighting stage as well. "Heh. I didn’t arrange for this. I
never thought that they would help Fane either," he said, a bitter smile on his face. "Or perhaps they
wanted to help him because they thought that he was a pretty good man!"
The corners of the Third Elder's lips twitched when he heard that. "Heh. Shouldn't you have thought of
a better excuse, Master?" he said, expression stony. "Beth and Yule have only known Fane for a short
time. How could they help him on their own accord? But it doesn't matter, since he'll be eliminated in
the second round. He’ll just lose less shamefully!"
"How interesting, Beth, Yule. You’re... actually helping the live-in son-in-law?"
At this moment, a man could not stand the sight any longer. He threw an opponent off the stage and
stomped his foot, streaking straight before the trio. He spoke with a cold smile.
“Heh. We're not going against the rules, Lionel, are we? You can fight us if you're not pleased with
anything!"
Beth folded her arms before her chest." You, an eighth-grade grandmaster, are thinking of eliminating
the two of us?” she said haughtily.
A muscle worked in his jaw. A cloud suddenly fell over his face.
Yule folded her arms across her chest and spoke without hesitation, lips curved into a frosty smile.
"Heh. You do have a point. As a man, I shouldn't hide behind others.”
Fane came before the man and stared at him, smirking. Reаd at Draмanоvels.com
"He's provoking you, Fane. Can't you tell? H e can't beat us, so he wants to lure you out t o eliminate
you!"
"That's right, Fane. Listen to your little sister. I think she’s right too. I want to help you because of this!"
