Chapter 804 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The man in black hadnât even landed three hits on Oscar before he was thrown into the lake.
Those from the Balerno martial arts alliance couldnât help feeling pissed at how poorly their contestants performed.
Since the first match, they hadnât even fended off any of Oscarâs attacks. Forget slowing him down; they werenât even challenging enough to be his warm-up.
âWhat the hell? How could the alliance send such shitty contestants? Itâs so humiliating!â
âUgh, I canât stand how easily those from Glenstead are beating us!â
âI wouldnât have come if I knew they would be so weak. It just pisses me off!â
Many people in the audience began to curse.
It would have been fine if it was one terrible match, but there was no way they could stand still after seeing how Balerno lost two matches in a row.
After all, the match took place in Balernoâs territory, and most of the audience were Balerno martial artists. They werenât happy to see their men losing to Glenstead on their land.
âThose losers!â Jared swore softly, angry at the first two contestants.
Although Ronald remained quiet, he was displeased as well. The three substitutes he found were clearly lacking compared to the initial three contestants.
âYouâre up next!â Jared turned his attention to the third contestant, a man in gray.
âYour mission is the same as the guy earlier. Try your best to tire Oscar out instead of facing him head-on. Got it?â
âI-Iâll try.â The man in gray gulped nervously.
He knew there was no way he could beat Oscar, so all that was left to see was just how long he
could hold the other man back.
Anxiously, he climbed into the boat and headed toward the arena.
Three minutes later, there was a scream as the man in gray was tossed into the lake after less
than ten strikes.
Water splashed everywhere before bubbles slowly rose to the surface of the water.
âBalerno martial artists are so weak! How could they lose three matches consecutively?â
âI didnât expect them to be so weak. I thought it was going to be a fantastic battle.â
âWell, Oscar can take care of all five by himself!â
Those from the Glenstead martial arts alliance laughed while those from Balerno struggled to rein in their anger.
Some even left in disappointment since there was no point watching anymore.
âWhatâs going on, Sir Reeds? Arenât we winning too easily? This is getting boring.â Conrad smiled
mockingly. His words were like knives to the heart.
âThatâs odd. Why are the Balerno martial artists so weak?â Brutus was puzzled.
He had participated in the last tournament, and both sides had been evenly matched. But
Glenstead was winning too easily today.
âI heard that three of their contestants were poisoned, so they just grabbed three fighters to fill in the empty seats,â Conrad answered with a smile.
âThey were poisoned? Who was the culprit?â Brutus was surprised.
âWho knows? It wasnât me, at least.â Conrad shrugged.
Although he wanted to win, he couldnât resort to such despicable tricks.
Meanwhile, in the Balerno gazebo, Ronald turned to look at Dustin and Jared: âWe canât afford
to lose again. Which one of you is confident enough to win?â
âIâll do it.â Jared volunteered before Dustin could.
âAre you sure?â Ronald raised an eyebrow.
âWeâll be doomed if we rely on him. Iâm the only one with a winning chance against Oscar now!â Jared sneered at Dustin.
He realized that relying on the substitutes to tire Oscar out had wasted time. He had to face Oscar himself.
âAlright. Weâre counting on you.â Ronald patted Jaredâs shoulder.
âIâll definitely win!â Jared leaped onto the boat and headed straight toward the arena.
âHey, look! Itâs Jared!â
âGood luck, Jared! Make us proud!â
âJared will be able to defeat that arrogant bastard!â
Boulderthorn disciples perked up when they saw Jared-even the martial artists who had been. leaving stopped in their tracks.
