Chapter 154
The system quickly announced the match order. Mia was up first.
She took a deep breath, trying to relax as much as possible. "The sooner I finish, the sooner I can go
home and avoid my husband's suspicion. I don't have a good excuse for him yet."
Leo said, "I beg you, finish the fight quickly and try not to get hurt."
Mia nodded. She got up and wet her hands with water to calm herself down, then returned to the ring.
The man across the ring didn't say a word from start to finish. When Mia stepped onto the stage, she
looked at his stance and guessed that he had been trained in martial arts since he was a child.
Knuckle was very polite and bowed to each opponent as a sign of respect. But his opponents were all
arrogant, no one respected him, the silent one, so his bows were never reciprocated. In response to his
respect, she also bowed back, bending 90 degrees at the waist.
Mia's response was a pleasant surprise to Knuckle. He didn't expect the first person to reciprocate his
respect to be Mimi. He felt he was about to meet a worthy opponent in martial arts.
Outside the ring, they admired each other. On the stage, they quickly prepared for battle. The clock
started ticking. Another fierce battle was about to begin.
Andre arrived at a glass door, which appeared to lead to a large cave with hundreds of seats. The door
could not be opened manually, requiring a card swipe. As soon as Andre pressed his fingerprint on the
card reader, the door unlocked. He entered the arena.
"Leo, I'm going to the restroom. Keep an eye on Mia. If something goes wrong, surrender immediately.
Don't let her fight to the death like she did in the second year of high school," Jade said.
Leo nodded, "I know, if she gets hurt this time, my uncle will demolish this place, and we might be in
trouble."
The match on stage was in full swing.
Mia was fighting Knuckle, using all her skills: hand-to-hand combat, distance fighting, boxing. When her
first round of attacks missed, she swiftly turned and distanced herself from Knuckle's control. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Knuckle was proficient in jiu-jitsu, with ground fighting being his deadliest skill. If you were on the
ground, he was the king. He tried multiple times to throw Mia to the ground, but she was as slippery as
an eel, always escaping just as he was about to catch her.
Mia quickly moved behind Knuckle and struck a powerful blow at his knee joint. He fell down, but he
grabbed Mia's ankle and threw her to the ground as well.
Mia thought, Crap!
On the ground, she was like a piece of meat in a snake's mouth. Her body was instantly restrained, her
neck was pressed down and her face was turning red.
The entire audience's attention was focused on the stage. It was difficult to tell who would win this
match.
Mia reacted quickly. Even though she was having difficulty breathing, she quickly made a judgment in
the face of danger. She gave up trying to save herself and instead freed one of her hands to punch
Knuckle in the temple.
Knuckle groaned in pain and his grip on Mia loosened. She seized the opportunity to launch another
attack, aiming a punch at Knuckle's vulnerable neck, and successfully knocked Knuckle off her.
She rolled over, half crouched on the ground, gasping for breath, trying to regulate her breathing.
Time was still ticking away, and there was no clear advantage for either of them.
Jade came out of the bathroom, she had just washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves, passing the
glass door on her way to the competition area. Suddenly, she saw a man without makeup on the field.
She was about to warn him when he turned his head and saw her. He noticed her because she was
wearing the same top as his wife. Their eyes met. Andre saw the fear in Jade's eyes. Was she afraid of
him?
Andre scrutinized her features. She was similar in size to his wife, and they were both wearing high-
necked tops, which made Andre subconsciously wonder if this woman could be his wife that he had
been looking for. But this girl gave him a completely different feeling. Her hair didn't have the softness
he remembered from Mia.
Andre's gaze swept over her and suddenly he noticed a strange scar on Jade's arm. That scar...
Memories that had been buried deep in Andre's mind for years suddenly surfaced. He thought of the
little girl he had been searching for for fifteen years.
Andre started breathing heavily as he looked again at Jade, who was dressed like a native.
He reached out and grabbed Jade's arm, demanding, "Who are you?"
Jade was also startled, wasn't this man Mia’s husband!
Jade glanced at Mia, who was still in the match.
"Wow!" She threw off his hand and ran quickly into the crowd.
“Molly.” Andre called after her.
He had come to find his wife, but after seeing that girl, his mind was filled with nothing but her. His
world seemed to be filled in an instant with a person called Molly.
Andre chased after the shadow.
Jade looked back and saw him chasing after her. She regretted instantly, "It's over, it's all over."
She rushed into the crowd, heading for the edge of the competition area, "Mia, it's bad, Andre is here."
Mia thought she must have heard wrong.
Jade pointed behind her, "Really, look, I saw it with my own eyes."
When Mia heard Andre's name, her legs went weak. "Oh, Jade, don't scare me, how could he know
about this place? He doesn't have a pass, how did he get in?"
Jade spotted Andre in an instant.
At that moment, Leo also saw Andre. His face turned pale with fright, thinking he really should have
picked out his own grave.
Jade felt that it was every man for himself at this point. She was the first to choose to run, "Mia, don't
blame me for not being loyal. It's every man for himself in a life and death situation. Good luck, I'm off.
If we get the chance, we'll meet again."
Decisive Jade fled at once, leaving behind a terrified Leo and an apparently furious uncle staring at
each other.
Even though Leo had made himself up to look like a ghost, he was still instantly recognizable to Andre.
Andre walked towards him step by step, his face darkening with each step, and with every step closer,
Leo felt his life shortening. His heartbeat quickened, almost to the point of having a heart attack under
the pressure of his uncle's powerful aura.
Just like that, the woman on stage was about to win the match. But then, she spotted the most eye-
catching man in the crowd. Her mouth dropped open in surprise and she forgot to continue her attack.
That... that was her husband, what was he doing here?
Screw the match. Forget about boxing. Promotion to the next round? Not interested. She leaped off the
stage, leaving the ring behind.
Knuckle and the crowd were totally bamboozled. What on earth was this woman up to?
Mia's actions made it clear: I'm getting out of here!
If she kept on fighting, she might lose her life. She didn't bring anything with her and it seemed like she
wouldn't be able to save Leo. She decided to save herself first and fled the scene.
Total chaos erupted at the venue.
Andre walked up to his nephew at the moment. Leo threw up his hands and surrendered immediately.
"Where's your aunt?"
Leo instinctively looked back at the woman who was competing on stage. He quickly spun around.
Oh my god, where did she go?
