Chapter 113 

There was finally a crack on Roxanne’s calm and apathetic face. 

Her eyes widened, and her stare fixed on Hendrick’s checks. 

Meanwhile, Hendrick also seemed to sense Roxanne’s gaze. 

He glanced over sideways casually with his unfocused and cool eyes as if there was no warmth. 

Roxanne clenched her fists and suddenly stepped back from the stage. Then, she walked directly to Hendrick. 

For a moment, the audience was very surprised and confused. 

However, on second thought, they were both students of Starlight Class, so it was not strange for them to talk to each other before the competition. 

Roxanne walked closer to him. Once she arrived before him, she lowered her voice and asked the young man in front of her, “You… Why are you here?” 

“Could it be that he was finally moved by me?” she asked inwardly. 

The reason she wanted Hendrick to come and watch her in the finals was not only because of the beautiful tradition of the campus festival but also because Hendrick was the reason she wanted to practice karate and win the championship during the campus festival. 

Hendrick was a karate master with a tenth–degree black belt. 

One should know that to reach the rank of tenth–degree black belt, not only he had to be skilled, but he also had to be engaged in the karate industry for decades and make great contributions. 

However, Hendrick, a teenager who was not even 20 years old, was exceptionally awarded a tenth–degree black belt. 

This showed that he was really strong 

He was so powerful that the authority was willing to break the rules for him. 

Roxanne learned karate as her family forced her to. She did not have much interest in karate herself. 

However, she was talented and managed to reach the black belt level even when she did not put much effort into learning karate. It was not until last year’s campus festival that a teenager in a white robe and a black belt emerged in the ring of the karate competition 

He had short black hair and black pupils. He was good–looking and handsome, yet he did not appear feminine at all. 

His kick was sharp, and his punch was strong. He defeated all his opponents with exquisite skills and gorgeous movements. Thus, he became the champion. 

He shone brightly like a god descending to earth, and his shine shone into Roxanne’s heart. 

And just like that, she helplessly fell in love with the boy. 

With that, she put–in lots of effort in practicing karate and reached the third–degree level in one go. 

Moreover, she did her best to take second place 

on the Imperial Star Genius Leaderboard just to get closer to him. 

And now, she just wanted Hendrick to look at how well she had practiced karate.

Chapter 113 

“Since you are willing to conge, why didn’t you reply to my message? Roxanne asked again while she stared at Hendrick motionlessly. 

Hendrick looked down at her with an aloof glance. 

la volume that only both of them could hear, he answered slowly. Im not here for you.” 

Roxanne’s expression instantly froze. 

As if Hendrick did not see her terrible expression, he added with an indifferent look on his face, “I’m here to visit your opponent.” 

What he said was the truth. He was indeed really interested in Oneida. 

This left Roxanne speechless. 

She clenched her fists tightly. Her face turned pale. 

Yet, Hendrick turned his eyes away from her and stopped looking at her. 

That frigid and handsome face of his was still filled with heartlessness. 

On the other hand, Oneida was standing in the corner by the ring at that moment. 

Her brows were furrowed. A slightly worried look could be seen in her eyes. 

-The finals were about to begin. 

However, Jackson had not arrived yet. 

Garrison Mansion was not far from Imperial Star University, and it should not take long for him to drive over. 

Technically, he was supposed to have arrived long ago. 

Even if Jackson did not want to show up in front of so many people, he would give her a call and let her know that he had arrived. 

But there was nothing from him. 

Neither did Jackson call nor send a message. 

Oneida did not care whether Jackson could come to her finals anymore. 

At this moment, she was more worried that something might have happened to Jackson. 

Otherwise, she could not think of any better reason to explain this sudden anomaly. 

Oneida took out her phone and dialed Jackson’s number. 

Just as before, no one answered the call. 

This was her third time calling Jackson during this period. 

None of the calls were answered. 

Oneida looked at the screen and murmured his name softly, “Jackson…” 

Just then, the referee teacher came to urge Oneida. “Hurry up! It’s time to go up the stage! Don’t dawdle around!”

With no other choice, Oneida had to send a

message to Simon and ask him to check whether anything strange had 

Afterward, she followed the referee teacher onto the ring. 

Shortly after her, Roxanne also stepped to the side opposite Oneida. 

The finals of the karate competition did not only attract the attention of all the teachers and students, but many distinguished guests were also watching. The audience was fully scated in the arena. 

One of the examples of distinguished guests was Hendrick. 

Other examples were Xavier who was the principal of Imperial Star University and Curtis. 

Curtis did not go to the audience area. Instead, Xavier brought him to an excellent location to watch the competition. 

At that location, the entire karate arena could be seen clearly. 

“Is Roxanne in second place on the Imperial Star Genius Leaderboard?” Curtis asked. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl on the ring quietly. 

Xavier nodded in response. “Yes.” 

“Why is she a white belt?” Curtis questioned again right after his answer. 

“Huh?” At first, Xavier did not understand but later realized that Curtis had mistaken her for someone else. 

He had wrongly recognized Oneida as Roxanne. 

Speaking of Oneida, Xavier took more care of her due to Samuel 

However, he had never thought that Oneida was a child with actual ability in karate. 

So, this time, Xavier was quite surprised when Oneida broke into the finals for the karate tournament. 

“Mr. Johnson, you have recognized the wrong person, Xavier explained smilingly. “The one with the white belt is not Roxanne, but another student. She’s from Regular Class. The black belt opposite her is Roxanne.” 

‘So, I recognized the wrong person,” Curtis murmured to himself while a faint light flashed in his eyes. 

Compared to Roxanne, Oneida’s aura, posture, and eyes were more like a fearless, confident, and calm powerhouse. 

That was why Curtis indeed recognized the wrong person at first 

He assumed Oneida was the second place on the Imperial Star Genius Leaderboard. 

“Come to think of it, however, not only did the girl from Regular Class manage to get herself into the karate finals, but she also had such an extraordinary, powerful, and confident aura. This girl is really something!” he thought. 

At the ring area, the audience was already holding their breath nervously as they waited for the start of the competition. Even though Oneida triumphed all the way to the finals, most of the audience was still more optimistic toward Roxanne, Roxanne had what Oneida did not have a third–degree black belt and was called a prodigy of Imperial Star University. Oneida was lucky enough to make it to the finals. 

Since it was the finals, Roxanne would not give her any chance to create a miracle.

Chapter 113 

That was what most people thought. 

On the ring, Oneida and Roxanne stood facing each other. 

She could feel that the Roxanne before her was slightly different from before. 

P 

Before, Roxanne was calm and composed, but at this moment, her gaze was filled with aggression. There was even hostility that could be seen faintly in her eyes. 

This made Oneida wonder whether she had offended Roxanne.
