chapter 713 arena battles [part 2]
the moment the beautiful young lady stepped into the arena, the cheering exploded like thunder.
shasha was immensely popularânot only with the guys but also with the girls. there were so many people that were captivated by her beauty, and strength, making her one of the most popular among the members of the young generation. she was even in the top 4 heavenly beauty rankings, which was an unofficial ranking made by the simp club, who had very high standards when it came to beautiful ladies. the three other members of that ranking were erica, shana, and alexandria griffin, the jewel of the griffin clan.
despite her tomboyish and fiery personality, erica was still a beautiful lady who had many admirers.
shana, who looked pure and innocent, held an irresistible charm that made people want to protect her.
as for alexandria griffin, she had a noble and gallant air. she was also very charismatic and always stood at the front of battles, leading everyone in battles.
because of this, she was the idol of the ladies who aspired to become strong and courageous in battle.
thirteen had yet to meet this young lady from the griffin clan, but he had already seen her pictures.
however, thirteen wasn't really a good judge for beauties. he had already seen literal goddesses in the past, whose beauty surpassed those of ordinary mortals.
because of this, he was numb when it came to beautiful ladies, which was the reason why he wouldn't bat an eye even when he saw erica and shana without their clothes on.
"i no longer need to introduce my sister, so let me introduce her opponent instead," thirteen said pointing at the young lady, who had also stepped up into the arena. "let's give a round of applause for miss lucy ferr!"
some of the audience also cheered for the young lady, whom they found very pitiful to be matched against thirteen's sister. shasha's opponent, who was also a young lady, could only scowl at her opponent. although she was pretty, she was far from matching shasha's beauty and popularity.
just like how men hated the more handsome, more popular guys, girls also hated those who were more popular and beautiful than them.
the only exceptions to the rule were celebrities, actors, and those who were in the entertainment industry.
the only exceptions to the rule were celebrities, actors, and those who were in the entertainment industry.
but even they couldn't escape hatersâthat was just how the world works.
"are both of you ready to fight?" thirteen asked.
"ready," shasha replied.
"i am ready!" lucy declared.
thirteen raised his hand and once again declared the start of the battle.
just as thirteen was about to start the fight, vincent raised his hand, as if wanting to say something.
"can i talk to her for a minute?" vincent asked. "there is something i need to tell her."
"only if she agrees," thirteen replied before glancing at wanda, who gave a brief nod of agreement.
vincent then approached his opponent and whispered something in her ear.
wanda looked as if she was pondering something before she whispered back in vincent's ear.
the young man nodded, and half a minute later, a devilish smile appeared on wanda's face.
"i concede this match," wanda said, which not only surprised thirteen but the audience as well.
the amazoness then walked out of the arena, but before she could leave it completely, she turned around to look at vincent with a blush.
"remember your promise," wanda said.
vincent nodded. "wait for me in your room tonight."
"..."
"""..."""
thirteen and the audience became speechless because vincent's words could easily be misinterpreted.
suddenly, a boo erupted from the audience stand, followed by more boos.
the teenage boy, who was standing on the stage, glanced at the stands and noticed that all the boos were coming from the boys, who seemed to understand the meaning behind vincent's words.
vincent, who was now being viewed as scum by these people, just chuckled before leaving the arena with a smile on his face.
thirteen, who had a vague understanding of what transpired earlier, was also very tempted to join the crowd who was currently booing vincent.
the young man only shrugged and walked out of the arena. since he had made a promise, he would meet up with wanda tonight and eat some cake, enjoying their time together. only when vincent disappeared from sight did the booing die down. the rest of the matches continued until late in the afternoon.
thirteen was glad that nearly half of the matches were finished, and he hoped that the rest of the matches would also end just as fast the next day.
when everything was done, the final survivors would proceed to the next stage of the tournament, where the seeded candidates would finally join the battle until they reached the semi-finals of the league of dragons and phoenixes.
