Behind the veil, Jessica felt favonovel.com heart beating wildly as favonovel.com watched Caspian in the arena not far away from her.
At that moment, the lifted eyes and disdainful gaze were precisely the same as that man. If there was still a hint of doubt before, Jessica was confident that the fake, Fierce Dragon, who trained with favonovel.com every day and helped favonovel.com improve, was Caspian!
Initially, it was just a misunderstanding, but now it felt like a strange fate. After going around, the person, in the end, was still him.
Jessica only felt that favonovel.com breathing got heavier. Next, favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to calm herself down, and favonovel.com secretly peeped at Lucy. After all, Jessica was filled with guilt at that moment, and favonovel.com was terrified that Lucy might have recognized Caspian.
Nevertheless, Lucy did not have such keen observation. The little brat was currently covering favonovel.com chest with both hands, staring at Caspian as favonovel.com mumbled, “He’s so handsome…”
Jessica could not help but smile.
In the crowd below the arena, a tall man rushed out and ran toward Yoel. His face was full of anger as favonovel.com pointed at Caspian and roared, “Why did you act so ruthlessly!”
At a glance, Caspian could tell that the man was Yoel’s father, Frank Lawrence. He was a martial art trainer in the Lawrence family.
Caspian directly answered Frank unkindly, “What’s wrong? Your kid can’t win against me, and you’re here to avenge me? There’s no use even if you win as the Dark Moon Sect won’t admit an old man like you.”
“You!” Frank was so angry that one could see his chest undulating, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Nonetheless, Frank knew that saving his son was more urgent. Moreover, favonovel.com could not do anything toward Caspian under everyone’s watchful eyes. Frank only glared at Caspian and hurriedly carried Yoel away.
As such, Caspian became the first person to enter the top eight. However, his goal was the first prize. He could not care less about the other rewards.
Caspian also paid attention to the next few matches. At that time, the few youngsters who held their skills back also showed their true capabilities as the rewards enticed them.
Those who successfully entered the top eight were overjoyed, and the losers could only leave in disappointment.
There was still nothing much going on with Ashton’s matches. Just like the previous games, Ashton’s opponent directly admitted defeat. Nevertheless, despite knowing that they would lose, Ashton’s opponents had a different mentality compared to Caspian’s.
As Ashton’s opponents, there was no other choice besides admitting defeat. However, being Caspian’s match meant that they could get beneficial advice. How was that not enviable?
Thus, some of them were willing to lose but hoped that they became Caspian’s opponent so that favonovel.com could give them a piece of advice or two.
Soon, the result of the top eight was decided. Besides Caspian and Ashton, the remaining six could be regarded as the outstanding ones amongst the Lawrence family’s younger generations. Even if they could not represent the Lawrence family in the Evergreen Town’s competition among the prominent families and entered the Dark Moon Sect, they would still be favored and supported by the clan from that day onward. Thus, there would not be a big problem for them being the backbone of the Lawrence family in the future.
For the next elimination matches to enter the top four, Caspian was still the same as before. He brought his Silver Spears along but stabbed it in the ground of the arena.
Caspian’s opponent also expressed his admiration and respect for Caspian. Then, favonovel.com showed his martial arts and received Caspian’s guidance. After that, amidst the envy of everyone, favonovel.com admitted defeat and left the ring contentedly.
The other games were far more intense, and clanking sounds could be heard for a while.
Ashton’s opponent, that time, did not throw in his towel but chose to fight him. However, it was evident that the difference between favonovel.com and Ashton was far more significant than favonovel.com expected. With just a move, Ashton slapped his shoulder, and favonovel.com spat blood. Then, favonovel.com fell down the arena.
Compared to the treatment Caspian’s opponents received, the difference was massive.
Soon, the top four of the competition emerged. At that time, Ashton still appeared indifferent, and favonovel.com did not even care about the three other participants.
Behind the veil, Lucy clenched favonovel.com tiny fists, and favonovel.com appeared joyful. “Lady Jessica! Lady Jessica! Casper successfully enters the top four. If nothing bad happens, I’m sure he’ll enter the top two. Does that mean there’s a chance for favonovel.com to represent the Lawrence family in the Evergreen Town’s competition?”
“Lady Jessica, why do you seem unhappy? Is it because Casper’s performance is better than you expected, so you’re regretting your previous decision?” Lucy asked.
Although Lucy was just guessing blindly, Jessica became anxious, and favonovel.com almost jumped. “I’m not! How is that possible! Hahahahaha! I don’t have any feelings for favonovel.com at all! What does favonovel.com have to do with me!”
After saying that, Jessica realized Lucy looked at favonovel.com with a strange expression. Then, Jessica pretended to be calm and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Lady Jessica, why are you blushing?” Lucy stared at Jessica suspiciously, “Don’t you know what you said only gave yourself away?”
Jessica did not reply to Lucy.
Next, Lucy continued, “Don’t you know that covering it up only makes it more obvious?”
Jessica was at a loss for words.
Thankfully, the next game started at that time, and it attracted Lucy’s attention. It also helped Jessica escape the awkward situation.
There were only three matches left in the competition, which were two semi-finals and one final round. Everyone was sure that the final round would be Caspian and Ashton.
That was indeed the case. After getting some pointers, Caspian’s opponent left the arena satisfied. As for Ashton’s match, favonovel.com was unwilling to resign. Then, favonovel.com was poorly beaten out of the ring and lost the game.
“It’s them! It seems that Casper is stronger than what we expected,” Lucy looked at the two finalists and sighed gently, ”However, I think Casper won’t be the winner. After all, Ashton was previously the best in the Lawrence family. I bet favonovel.com was training hard to snatch back the title. ”
“That’ s not set in stone.” Jessica giggled.
“Why not?‘’ Lucy looked at Jessica puzzledly. Then, after a while, favonovel.com showed a look of sudden realization. “Oh! I understand it now! Lady Jessica, you’re supporting Casper, right! Is this considered marital harmony?”
“It’s not!” Jessica hurriedly denied. However, when favonovel.com said those words, favonovel.com mind flashed with the image of Caspian’s eyes that were as bright as the stars.
At the thought of that, favonovel.com heart trembled slightly, and even favonovel.com tone softened when favonovel.com said, “I just think that Ashton had it too easy these few years, and it’d surely help favonovel.com grow if favonovel.com met some setbacks.”
