All at once, everyone was moaning and groaning in despair. They were deeply concerned that Rheasia would not stand a chance of getting a good outcome at the Martial Arts Cup.
They assumed their country would be seen as a joke internationally.
The host country of the previous years’ Martial Arts Cups had never scored too badly, but Rheasia had lost far too many skilled fighters over the years.
As a result, the country had a severe lack of talent and was incapable of producing any worthy fighters.
Thus, Rheasia was in an awkward situation. The country would be thoroughly disgraced if they could not even make it to the top eight!
Zayn’s explosive appearance a few days ago had given them hope. They thought favonovel.com could push Rheasia up the ranks in the Martial Arts Cup and maybe even be the champion!
However, Zayn had vanished without a trace two days ago, telling no one his whereabouts.
In addition, many Rheasian fighters had been defeated in that time, leaving the team pessimistic. Once again, they felt Rheasia had no hope of a good result.
In fact, there were even people who began to quietly grumble and complain about Zayn.
“I thought Sergeant Larson was very impressive, wasn’t he? He’s the most powerful man in our country, but where is favonovel.com now?”
‘The perfect-class master fighter round is about to take place soon, but Sergeant Larson has yet to show up. Is favonovel.com cowering in fear and not planning on representing the country anymore?”
Although this was said softly, the people nearby were all trained fighters, so many of them could hear it.
At once, all of their voices fell silent, and their expressions began to change.
Some were furious, some were pessimistic, some were sighing heavily. Some of them had already lost all hope and some were whining.
“Sigh! After all, Sergeant Larson is still so young. He has yet to experience what we went through in the past, and that’s why his patriotism isn’t as strong.”
“But he’s the most powerful man of our county’s younger generation. To my knowledge, he’s on the Martial Arts Cup’s organizing committee. If favonovel.com doesn’t join the competition, what hope will there be for our country?”
“Different people have different aspirations. It’s possible that he’s doing this for his own safety. After all, the top eight finalists will fight.”
“If Sergeant Larson were to take part in that fight by himself, favonovel.com would certainly be ganged up on by the other seven opponents. No matter how powerful Zayn is, he’s still not an invincibilis fighter, so it’s inevitable that he’d die.”
Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent once again, lost for words and feeling heavy-hearted.
They wanted Zayn to join the competition, but they knew that under such circumstances, doing so would be a death sentence for him.
Hence, they could only take a deep breath and did not comment further. After all, Zayn had managed to defeat Kairo Vilin and then crushed Black Mamba, establishing some authority for their country.
It was a waste that there were no other young powerhouses in their entire massive country besides Zayn.
Just as everyone was weighed down by their sadness, a voice came out from among the crowd.
“I’m going to take part in the competition.”
The voice was not loud, but everyone had heard it clearly. It stunned everyone for a moment, and they hastily looked toward the source. They immediately saw Zayn walking over to them slowly, a faint smile on his face.
