He was at a loss for how to convince the eldestdy.


    He understood Missy’s feelings at that moment.


    The power of the young man named Wade was truly astonishing. Kazuno Yamamoto, a national treasure master from Japan, found himself unable to even hold his ground against him. If he were in the position of the eldestdy, she would likely have lost all her fighting spirit by now.


    The smallpetition ahead seemed trivial, and even the Olympics appeared dim inparison.


    What was once revered as martial arts had be a mockery.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Having served Nanako Ito for many years, he felt a profound heartache for her. He couldn’t help but suggest, “Miss, if you truly have lost faith in this match, perhaps we should return to Japan!”


    Nanako Ito quickly inquired, “Tanaka, where is my master? How is he doing?”


    Hiroshi Tanaka hesitated before responding, “A group of wicked men just arrived. The one leading them, Mr. Yamamoto, was attacked with a knife, and they carved ‘Sick Man of East Asia’ into his forehead. Mr. Yamamoto attempted tomit suicide by biting his tongue but failed and was taken to the hospital by Mr. Kobayashi.”


    “What?!” Nanako Ito gasped, tears welling up in her eyes. “I need to go to the hospital to see Master! Take me there now!”


    Tanaka nodded, saying, “I’ll inform the referee team that we are withdrawing from thepetition.”


    “Alright! Go!” Nanako Ito urged, her impatience growing.


    To her, Yamamoto Kazuki was not just a mentor; if anything were to happen to him, she would never forgive herself.


    After all, he hade to China with her for thispetition. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have encountered Charlie or the troubles they faced now.


    Just as she was about to abandon the match and rush to the hospital, a calm voice interrupted her thoughts:


    “Once you’ve entered thepetition, you must take it seriously. You can’t just give up halfway.”


    Nanako Ito turned to see Charlie, the young man with incredible power, standing stoically off the stage, looking at her without expression.


    Her heart raced; she hadn’t expected Charlie to be watching her match, nor did she understand why he was interested.


    In truth, Aurora had already imed victory with a single move and had gone to the locker room to change. With nothing else to do, Charlie decided to watch Nanako Ito’s match but was surprised to see her lose the first round.


    He could tell that her defeat stemmed from her worry, which prevented her from focusing on thepetition.


    Initially, he thought she would quickly regain herposure and bounce back in the second game. Instead, he found her ready to forfeit.


    Looking at him, thoughts of her mentor trying to take his own life ignited a surge of indignation within her!


    She shot a fierce re at Charlie and shouted, “You viin! Why are you pushing my mentor to this point? Do you really want him to die?”


    Charlie replied coolly, “Miss, judging by your demeanor and grace, you seem to be a well-educateddy, not someone who acts without reason. You’ve seen the conflict between your master Yamamoto and me. I urge you to consider who is truly forcing him in this situation.”


    “If he hadn’t been so proud and confident, if he hadn’t insulted me by calling me the ‘sick man of East Asia,’ I wouldn’t have had to respond in kind.”


    “In China, we have an old saying: the right way in the world is full of vicissitudes! Do you believe, as ady, that the bond between master and apprentice is more significant than the right way in the world?”<fn12b7> Content originallyes from Find_Novel(.</fn12b7><h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
