With Charlie expected to arrive as a guest at noon, Aurora felt a wave of excitement and decided to head to the lounge to change her clothes. Before she left, she turned to Charlie and said, “Master Wade, please wait a moment. I need to take a shower, but I won’t be long.”


    Charlie nodded with a smile, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, take your time.”


    Mr. Quinton, who was nearby, suggested, “Master Wade, it’s quite chaotic here. How about we take a break in the car? I can arrange for an RV to be brought over today.”


    Charlie smiled slightly in agreement, “Alright, let’s head to the car and wait there.”


    Steven Quinton eagerly added, “Master Wade, please lead the way!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As Charlie exited the stadium with Mr. Quinton and Steven, Rodney nks, still nursing a bruise from Charlie’s earlier punch, made his way to an athletes’ lounge, his expression dark.


    At the entrance of this lounge, a Japanese g hung prominently, marked with the words “Japanese yer: Nanako Ito.”


    nks paused briefly at the door before mustering the courage to knock.


    The door opened to reveal a young man who spoke fluent Chinese. He eyed nks with suspicion and asked, “Who are you?”


    nks quickly replied with a smile, “Hello! I’m looking for Miss Nanako Ito and her coach, Mr. Yamamoto Kazuki.”


    The young man turned to the middle-aged man and young girl inside the lounge, saying, “Mr. Yamamoto, Miss Ito, this gentleman is here to see you.”


    Yamamoto Kazuki raised an eyebrow, his demeanor cool as he inquired, “Who are you? Do we know each other?”


    nks smiled humbly and introduced himself, “Mr. Yamamoto, I’m Rodney nks. Ten years ago, I represented China in a Sandapetition and lost to you. You might not remember me, though.”<fne63e> For more chapters visit F?nd-Novel</fne63e>


    Yamamoto Kazuki retorted arrogantly, “I can’t keep track of everyone who has lost to me. Why would I remember you?”


    Feeling awkward, nks nodded and added, “Well, Mr. Yamamoto, I also have another role—I was the coach for the Chinese contestant, Aurora, in thispetition. Though I’ve resigned now.”


    Yamamoto Kazuki frowned and asked, “Aurora? I don’t recall hearing about her. She isn’t one of the top five seeded yers in thispetition, is she?”


    nks quickly replied, “No, she hasn’t been a seed yer before, so it’s understandable that you might not know her.”


    Yamamoto Kazuki’s tone turned cold as he pressed, “Then what brings you here?”


    nks hurriedly exined, “I have some information to share. Aurora has a very cunning and skilled coach. If Ms. Ito faces Aurora in the uing matches, she should be cautious of her coach!”


    Yamamoto Kazuki scoffed, “I find it hard to believe that anyone could pose a serious threat. I am Yamamoto Kazuki, a national treasure-level fighter in Japan. My pupil is also a top-tier Sanda fighter. Nanako’s abilities are such that she couldpete against the best athletes globally, even in the Olympics. To be frank, her participation in thispetition is merely for training; her real goal is the next Olympic Games, where she aims for the gold medal!”


    nks nodded, acknowledging Yamamoto’s prowess. “I understand, Mr. Yamamoto, your skills are exceptional, and those you train are undoubtedly formidable. However, the young coach I mentioned has some real talent. Just look at my right hand!”


    With that, nks extended his right hand to show Yamamoto the injury he had sustained.


    Yamamoto Kazuki’s gaze fell upon the wound on nks’s hand, curiosity piqued.
