Chapter 316: Give Up!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nora stood still. Before she could move, the group had already come up to Cherry, Justin, and her.
After the group walked past them with great momentum, an astonished Cherry asked, “Mommy, did Grandpa Quinn take another disciple behind your back?”
Nora: “…”
Justin: “…”
Nora kept quiet for a moment before she said unhurriedly, “She’s a fake.”
“That scared me to death.” Cherry patted her chest and said, “I thought Grandpa Quinn had finally come around to it and accepted that you’re not suited for martial arts, so he didn’t want you anymore!”
“…”
Nora glanced at Cherry with a chilly look in her eyes. “What did you say?”
Cherry immediately smiled and said, “I was complimenting you, Mommy! You’re not suited to be a martial artist because you’re the queen of martial arts herself! You’re amazing even if you don’t practice at all! You don’t need to work hard at all!”
“…”
Her flattery skills simply left one speechless.
While they were talking, they had already gone out. The staff member who had led Nora inside just now was standing at the front and trying to convince his next target. He said, “Do you want to take a photo with the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister? It costs 3,000 per picture!”
Nora walked over and said, “Take me to the Irvin School of Martial Arts’ Big Brother.”
The staff member was about to nod when he turned around and spotted Justin, which gave him a huge shock.
To be honest, the martial arts tournament had become less and less profitable in recent years. Therefore, the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister and the Irvin School of Martial Arts’ Big Brother, who were admired by all, had become their new way of making money.
That particular staff member was one of the rare few old-timers who had stayed around, so he naturally knew who Justin was.
Although he hadn’t seen what the Irvin School of Martial Arts’ Big Brother really looked like ten years ago, he remembered his contestant number very well—
057.
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes and look at the contestant number on Justin’s wristband again—it was indeed 057!
He swallowed and coughed. “B-Big Brother?”
Justin narrowed his eyes behind the mask. His voice was low but cold and sounded vaguely threatening. He said, “Yes. Didn’t you say he’s in the office and that we can take a photo with him? We would like to meet him.”
The staff member: “…”
The one in there was a fake! What was the real deal making a scene here for?!
Besides, Justin had actually always known that someone was impersonating him. They had informed Big Brother about it before.
However, since Big Brother had said that, then he had to let him take a look.
Therefore, the staff member coughed and led the way. “This way, please,” he said.
He led the way earnestly for the few of them, which instead made Nora rather hesitant.
He had looked like he wouldn’t give in unless they gave him money just now. Why had he suddenly stopped discussing prices with them? Was he planning to rip them off after letting them meet Big Brother?
In the midst of her thoughts, the staff member arrived at a room and knocked on the door.
The door opened.
Nora looked at the person in the room.
A man with a mask on was sitting calmly and steadily on the sofa. One couldn’t see what he looked like, but they could feel that the man was very arrogant. He frowned and said to the staff member, “Why are you bothering me again?”
The staff member coughed and replied, “These two people would like to meet you.”
“I’m very busy.”
‘Big Brother’, who was seated on the sofa, said sullenly, “If there’s nothing you need, then leave!”
“I have something I need.”
Nora suddenly spoke.
‘Big Brother’ looked at her at once. “What is it?”
The staff member also turned to look at Nora. He wanted to ask what she wanted, but before he could say anything, a shadow flashed past him. Nora rushed into the room and slammed her fist straight at Big Brother’s face!
Bam!
Her punch was quick and powerful, which stunned ‘Big Brother’. The next moment, his eyes closed and he passed out.
The staff member: “?”
He was furious. “What are you doing? How dare you attack Big Brother!”
Nora, who had knocked the man out with a single punch: “?”
She looked at her fist in surprise, and then at the man in front of her—blood was already trickling out of his mask.
“…”
A strange silence filled the place.
Just as Nora was about to apologize, Justin’s low and deep voice rang out. “He has fainted. Take him to the hospital.”
Seeing that he had spoken, the staff member didn’t dare to say any more. He gave the doctors a call at once.
There were specially hired doctors in the arena, in case people became seriously injured in the tournament. They quickly hurried over.
The group of people quickly carried the injured man away. Even the staff member who had brought them there didn’t pursue the matter. In fact, he didn’t even dare to cast even a glance at them but quickly slipped away with the crowd.
Nora: “…”
Taken aback, she asked, “He’s going to me go just like that?”
However, she paused when she looked at Justin.
For some reason, Justin had a rather odd look in his eyes as he looked at her, as though he was the one who had been punched just now.
While thinking about it, Justin coughed and asked, “Do you want to beat Big Brother up that much?”
“Yeah.”
Nora looked down at her fist and heaved a sigh. “Unfortunately, that guy just now was a fake.”
Justin: “?”
Nora told him her analysis. “I already threw the punch very slowly just now, but he still didn’t manage to react in time. In addition, the staff didn’t dare to hold me accountable at all. Based on all that, that ‘Big Brother’ was a fake.”
She waved her fist in the air and said, “I wonder when I can really slam this fist into his face.”
Justin: “…”
He suddenly felt like his cheek really hurt.
The staff didn’t pursue the matter even after she hit the fake Big Brother, so Nora could only follow Justin back into the arena again.
Soon, it was Nora’s match.
She was in Ring 6.
When the host called out her contestant number 028, she took a step forward and got ready to enter the ring. It was at this moment that Smithin jumped out from nowhere and grabbed her. He asked, “Hey, are you actually going into the ring to compete?”
Nora: “?”
She looked at the black-clad teenager with the mask and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“You sure are unlucky. To think you have been assigned Tired Reno for your first match. Do you know? Even though he’s a rookie, he has already won nine consecutive matches. Once he wins the match with you, he’ll advance to Class B.”

Nora frowned. “And then?”
Smithin thought for a moment. Then, he tried to persuade her and said, “You’ve seen him, right? Tired Reno is a big guy. He can send you sprawling with just a punch. I’d advise you to give up. A delicate young missy like you shouldn’t go into the ring. It would look really bad if you have to beg for mercy on your knees later.”
Nora: “????”
Smithin lifted his chin and said, “What are you looking at me for? He’s also my opponent in my next match. Just give up, I’ll beat him up for you in the next match! You can think of it as revenge!”
