Haylan was a bit pissed off.
Just now, Hickman stood at the side and witnessed the entire process. He should know that Yussel was responsible for everything. The culprit was Yussel.
However, Hickman actually stood up and kicked Haylan when he was down. He accused Haylan in order to disqualify him from the competition.
That was below the belt!
âMr. Jaber, I just saw it with my own eyes. You broke Mr. Martinezâs wrist. I was just telling the truth, Hickman said calmly. Yussel did not expect Hickman to say this. He was delighted and immediately said to the warrior, âSir, see, Iâve got a witness here.
âAccording to the rules and regulations here, Haylan has to be disqualified from the competition, and let himâ¦â
Before he could finish the sentence, the warrior had already slapped him hard.
Yussel was spun on the spot by that powerful hit before he fell to the ground. He felt his head buzzing and couldnât get up for a long time.
*Wellâ¦â
Hickman was also stunned while standing aside.
He originally thought that as long as there were two witnesses, the man would then revoke Haylanâs qualifications. However, instead of Haylan being disqualified, Yussel was beaten.
Yussel stood up and covered his face. He looked at the warrior in disbelief. âSir, why⦠why did you hit me?â
That punch stunned him.
Just now, they were clearly criticizing Haylan. However, the man didnât go against Haylan; instead, he hit Yussel.
âWhy is that?â Yussel thought.
âI do want to hit you!â
The warriorâs cold eyes fiercely glared at Yussel. âYou flouted the law and hit below the belt!
âDo you think weâre all blinded?
âJust now, I saw you attack the raw stones in front of Mr. Jaber. You even shot out the three explosive arrows in your hand, wanting to destroy the raw stones in front of Mr. Jaber.
âYouâre the culprit for everything, the first to sling accusations and put the blame on Mr. Jaber. You even accused him of attacking you!
âYouâre so vicious. You even tried to mislead me and make me punish Mr. Jaber. You deserve that beat!â
After saying that, he slapped Yusselâs face again.
Yussel was beaten until his teeth cracked and bled. He looked extremely miserable.
âBeing one of the organizers, these two slaps are my punishment for you. If you dare to do this again, Iâll directly disqualify you from the competition,â the warrior said coldly.
Yussel felt a burning pain on his face.
However, he did not dare be arrogant in front of this warrior. He could only endure the pain and admit his bad luck.
After the warrior finished dealing with Yussel, he turned around and stared coldly at Hickman. âAnd you, Hickman, youâre also not that wellâbehaved. You broke off in the middle of a sentence and tried to confuse the public. Youâre not a good guy either.
âIâm just warning you verbally this time. If you mess around again, Iâll also disqualify you from the competition.
When Hickman heard this, he was livid.
After all, he was more than 80 years older than this warrior. He felt embarrassed when this warrior said that.
However, he did not dare to make it public.
After all, this warrior was one of the organizers and a higherâup in the Lightdom Military Department. He was not someone that an ordinary man like him could provoke.
The warrior glared at Yussel and Hickman and said coldly. âThe competition will start soon. You two take care!
If you dare to attack Mr. Jaber again, donât blaine me for not being nice.â
With that, he turned around and left.
Hickman and Yussel stood where they were. Their faces fell, and they were livid.
They originally wanted to work together to kick Haylan out, but they never expected the organizer to stand or Haylanâs side so blatantly.
They had to suffer a double whammy after trying to take advantage! They had suffered a lot!
Especially for Yussel, he clutched his broken wrist with a painful and hideous expression as he glared fiercely at Haylan.
He would have torn Haylan into pieces if he could kill him with his eyes.
âI would advise you not to have such thoughts. Itâs best for us to just start competing. Otherwise, donât blame me for not being nice,â Haylan said coldly.
He was not a good guy. He just taught Yussel a lesson to make him back off.
After all, this was Mr. Zabelâs place. He was in charge of the Gemstone Identification Competitionâs safety.
He had to show some respect to Mr. Zabel and not make things difficult for him.
Otherwise, with his temper, he would have killed Yussel long ago when Yussel attacked the raw stones!
However, his patience had a limit.
If Yussel did not know what was good for himself and continued to commit crimes, he would not show mercy anymore. âAll contestants, please get ready. We will start the knockout stage in one minute.â
At this moment, the emcee said, âThe rule of this competition was to pick three raw stones, which have emerald in them, within your own booth in ten minutes after all the lids were opened. The person with the best quality of emerald will win! âThere are no other rules other than that!â
The emceeâs voice was very loud and resounded throughout the venue.
Everyoneâs expression changed after hearing this.
Apart from being able to find the one that had an emerald in it, there were no other rules. What did this mean?
Could it mean that everyone was allowed to fight in the group and encouraged everyone to stop at nothing to get what they wanted?
Wasnât this rule too lax?
When Chambers, Huck, Morris, and the other contestants heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
They could all tell the organizers were very tolerant during this knockout stage. They encouraged competitors to cheat, compete, and stop at nothing to get what they wanted.
In other words, as long as you had that ability, you could win the game. As for morality, it didnât matter at all!
Many capable people were overjoyed and ready to move.
Hickmanâs expression changed.
He was old. In terms of violence, he was no match for Haylan and Yussel.
Yusselâs eyes also lit up. He immediately began to tear his clothes apart. Enduring the pain, he wrapped them around his broken bones so that his wrist wouldnât hurt so much and he could recover a little of his mobility.
Just as everyone was still comprehending the emceeâs words in detail, the countdown began. âAll contestants, please be ready. There are still thirty seconds before the competition begins. Thirty, twentyânine, twentyâeightâ¦.., All the contestants listened to the countdown and stood ready.
Some of them kept adjusting their breathing to maintain peak performance.
Some people kept sizing up the enemies, their eyes filled with viciousness and vigilance.
Some were sizing up the raw stones, which had a lid on, with excitement in their eyes.
Under everyoneâs anticipation, the countdown came to the final moment. âFive, four, three, two, one, go With this shout, the contestants in the ten groups instantly began to fight.
Some attacked people crazily, while others fought for the stones.
The competition was immediately messed up, as if a chaotic battle had begun. Haylan, go to hell!â
