Charlie nodded and walked into the gym alongside Mr. Quinton.


    The Aurous Hill Gymnasium boasts a vast area, featuring not just a standard indoor swimming pool, but also facilities for indoor track and field, badminton, table tennis, and basketballpetitions.


    Currently, the entire venue—except for the swimming pool—has been cleared for a Sandapetition.


    Theyout consists of numerous square sections, each containing its own arena.


    Mr. Quinton gestured towards the arenas, exining to Charlie: “Master Wade, there are 8 arenas set up here, corresponding to 8 different groups. Each group holds their preliminary matches on a designated arena. The sole victor from each group will advance, qualifying them as one of the top eight contenders in the entirepetition.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He then pointed to the 5th ring, adding, “Master Wade, Aurora has beenpeting in the 5th ring. Her match is set to begin in 10 minutes. Let’s head over there.”


    Charlie acknowledged the information and made his way to the No. 5 ring with Mr. Quinton.


    Surrounding the No. 5 ring are more than 100 spectator seats, and Mr. Quinton had already arranged several seats in the front row for them.


    Upon arriving, Charlie spotted a familiar face—Steven Quinton from the Quinton family.


    Steven had been estranged from the family for a while due to a serious incident involving Charlie, where he had tried to assert his dominance and ended up causing significant trouble.


    Recently, however, he had been on better behavior. Given that today was Aurora’s match, as her cousin, he had been allowed to attend and cheer for her.


    When he saw Charlie, Steven’s previous bravado had vanished. He quickly stood up and, with a respectful nod, greeted, “Master Wade, you’ve arrived! Please, take a seat.”


    Charlie looked at him with curiosity and smiled, asking, “Steven Quinton, it’s been a while. What have you been up totely?”


    Steven, looking slightly ashamed, replied, “Master Wade, I’ve been reflecting on my past mistakes during my time at home. I feel terrible for how I treated you. I was foolish to oppose someone like you, who has done so much for the Quinton family. I truly don’t know how to express my gratitude!”


    Charlie smiled and remarked, “It seems like you’ve be a bit more sensible, Steven.”


    “Really?” Steven scratched his head, grinning. “Master Wade, if you can sense my sincerity, that’s enough for me!”


    Mr. Quinton yfully pped him on the head, admonishing him, “When you meet Master Wade in Aurous Hill, you better be respectful. If I hear you act up again, I’ll make sure to give you a proper punishment!”


    Steven nodded vigorously, responding, “Second Uncle, don’t worry! Master Wade will be my role model from now on. I’ll hold him in the highest regard, just like my sister does!”


    Charlie chuckled softly, “Alright, but don’t let that go to your head. Just make sure not to cause trouble for your second uncle in the future.”


    Steven nodded eagerly in agreement.<fn25c4> Fresh chapters posted on find(?)ovel</fn25c4>


    At that moment, the referee announced, “The final regr preliminaries for the five groups will now begin!”


    Excitement coursed through Steven as he pointed towards the entrance, eximing, “Master Wade, my sister ising up on stage!”
