Witnessing the tense exchange between Mr. Lloyd and Marcus, the expressions on Nanako Ito and Yamamoto Kazumu’s faces turned to ash.


    At that moment, Nanako Ito finally grasped the meaning behind Jiro Kobayashi’s warning about provoking Charlie.


    This formidable figure instilled fear in most, as he was a force to be reckoned with, especially on their home turf.


    Overwhelmed with emotion, Nanako Ito eximed through her tears, “I could call my father and ask him to help!”


    Jiro Kobayashi gently advised her, “Ms. Nanako, even if you reach out to Mr. Ito, he won’t be able to change the situation. Even if he immediately flew from Tokyo to Aurous Hill, it would take at least two to three hours. In that time, Charlie’s people could easily arrive, leaving him with no options…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Despite the Ito family’s considerable power in Japan, their influence in Aurous Hill was virtually nonexistent.


    It wouldn’t matter if Nanako Ito’s father, Ito Yuhiko, came; he would be swiftly subdued by Don Albert’s brother.


    This illustrates the principle that a strong dragon cannot crush a local snake.


    Even if hemanded tens of thousands of followers in Japan, how many could he realistically send to Aurous Hill?<fnad1c> Original content can be found at findnovel</fnad1c>


    Once a ne was grounded, it could carry two or three hundred people. However, uponnding, Charlie wouldn’t need to lift a finger; Don Albert’s brother could easily dispatch them.


    As they spoke, a staff member approached with a reminder: “Miss Ito, there are only three minutes left. If you don’t show up soon, the referee will dere you have forfeited.”


    Yamamoto Kazuki sighed and said, “It’s alright. This may be my destiny, Nanako. You don’t need to worry about me. Just gopete.”


    Nanako Ito, tearfully, responded, “Master, with you like this, how can I possibly participate in thepetition?”


    Yamamoto Kazuki insisted, “Staying here won’t help me. You can’t make me stand up again, nor can you stop Charlie’s people from marking me. If you remain here, you risk being eliminated early. I want you to fight without regrets!”


    Jiro Kobayashi added his encouragement, “Miss Ito, you should head to thepetition right away. If you win, Mr. Yamamoto can find some sce.”


    “Exactly!” Yamamoto Kazuki firmly stated: “If you withdraw now, I will act as if I never took you on as my apprentice!”


    Upon hearing this, Nanako Ito clenched her fists, determination filling her. “Master, I promise I will win!”


    With that deration, she stood up, hurried out of the rest area, and made her way to thepetition ring.


    Meanwhile, the match in Aurous Hill had already begun.


    She was set to face Joanna from Brazil, the third seed in the tournament.


    Joanna, tall and muscr, was widely regarded as a strong contender, with many believing she could even surpass the second seed to im the runner-up spot.


    Consequently, few believed that Aurora stood a chance against this formidable opponent.


    However, what unfolded next was nothing short of astonishing!


    As soon as the match started, Joannaunched a fierce onught against Aurora, underestimating her strength. She aimed to defeat Aurora swiftly to preserve her energy for subsequent matches.


    However, Joanna was blindsided by Aurora’s remarkable agility.


    In a rapid sequence, Joanna threw a barrage of punches and kicks, but Aurora deftly evaded each attack with ease.


    Then, out of nowhere, Aurora executed a stunning whip kick!


    Her body had just absorbed the magical medicine provided by Charlie, who had also used Reiki to enhance her physicality.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
