Chapter 2493
My Substitute CEO Bride
Maxim and the others walked toward the arena with their chest puffed up, taking each step with pride. Meanwhile, Harkin and Thresmund were also making final preparations.
Harkin faced forward but was squinting at Thresmund beside her.
"Why did you suddenly agree to help Maxim?"
"Do I even need a reason?" Thresmund asked. "My dad is right. Everything he wants to do is for a greater purpose. Although he has selfish reasons, he's working hard for the people in the entire region. I'm his son, so why wouldn't I help him?"
At this time, Thresmund received a message on his mobile phone.
It was Anox.
[Thres, I know you said you were safe yesterday, but... are you really okay? Is there something you can't tell us?]
At this time, Thresmund sent a voice note to Anox, "Thank you for your kindness, Anox. I've finally understood what I should do."
Afterward, he turned off his mobile phone.
Harkin looked at Thresmund with a vague, mysterious expression. She still could not trust Thresmund, but after so many years of friendship with Maxim, she decided to follow Maxim's orders and cooperate with him.
Time flew by, and soon, the competition was about to start.
"Okay, everyone! The next round is to determine the top three. It's time for the thrilling semi-finals!"
There were crowds of people inside and outside the stadium. They were all paying attention to the participants who would be able to obtain the so-called Immortalization Art.
"Let us welcome the organizer of our competition, who's also our executive chairperson, Mr. Maxim Young, to speak."
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Maxim picked up the microphone.
"For all those who have made it this far, you're already the strongest among the strong. I admire your strength. At the same time, I also ask you to be mindful of your safety during the competition and prioritize peace.
"Without further ado, I announce that the semi-finals of the Myriad Immortals Gathering will now begin!"
Bursts of cheers and applause erupted from the audience. This was followed by a group of strong men raising their drumsticks with gusto on the stage.
The drumbeats shook the sky. As the strong men beat faster, Enid walked into the venue.
With the roars of the strong men and the falling of the last drumbeat, the first match officially began.
"Everyone, let me officially introduce the participants for this match! First of all, the one with the power of the Mother of Immortals, Enid Goode!"
"Enid, all the best!"
Enid looked at her friends in the stands. They were cheering for her non-stop.
Enid secretly vowed in her heart to do her best.
"Her opponent is the dark horse who has defeated all his opponents with a single punch, Sergey Carver!"
Sergey walked into the arena.
Enid was startled to see him.
Strong was an understatement to describe the man in front of Enid. In her eyes, Sergey was a giant.
Although Chevy had shown the other three participants' information to the group during dinner yesterday, Enid still had no grasp of the situation.
Chevy read the data he had in his hand, "Sergey didn't inherit the Skyland Sun Technique, nor is he from the Enigma Clan. He has an unusual boxing style. Many people lost to him without knowing how he threw his punches.
"More importantly, even the audience could not see his moves clearly at all. Some people thought it was due to extreme speed, but..."
Chevy looked at the information in his hand and could not help feeling worried for Enid.
"His techniques are too strange. There's definitely someone stronger than Sergey
in the venue, but even so, no one knows about Sergey's ability until now."
"This guy is not easy to deal with... Enid has to be careful..."
