“I hope Oneida’s mentality won’t be affected.”
“The referee and Roxanne… Thinking about what happened makes me so angry that I want to spit on them!”
Oneida returned to the waiting area.
Roxanne was there before Oneida. Roxanne was sitting in her seat with a white towel covering her head, so Oneida could not
e her face or expression.
Roxanne sat alone without saying a word. She was like a silent statue.
Oneida threw one glance at her, then walked quickly to her seat and picked up her phone.
Unexpectedly, a message from Jackson appeared on the screen.
Oneida’s eyes opened wide before her fingers quickly clicked to open the message.
Jackson texted: [I’m sorry I can’t make it to your finals. All the best. I’ll make it next time.]
Oneida stared at the words while her emotions went up and down. For one moment, her mind went blank.
Suddenly, a call came.
It was from Simon.
Oneida took her phone and walked out into the quiet corridor.
She answered the phone and asked indifferently, “What’s up?”
“Boss, do you remember the customer that wanted to hire Aphoric Group to take out Jackson’s life?” asked Simon in a
serious tone.
“I remember.” Of course, Oneida remembered.
That mysterious man wanted to hire Zero, which was Oneida herself, to kill Jackson.
“That man seems to have found someone else to do the job.” Simon sighed before adding, “He has hired a new killer since you didn’t take up the job.”
Oneida’s face darkened, and her eyes tensed slightly.
The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
“I was right. This customer is impatient. He took no time in finding a new killer,” thought Oneida.
“Who did he hire?” Oneida did not realize that her fingers were shaking slightly.
She had never been so flustered.
“Boss… Simon wanted to say something but stopped. It seemed that the situation was very serious. “I received news that it was Darkflame.
Everyone had heard of “Darkflame
Darkflame was not affiliated with any organization or group and always worked alone, like a lone wolf.

No one knew whether Darkflame was a man or a woman or where Darkflame would appear.
Darkflame was mysterious but also powerful.
Rumor had it that Darkflame was very rich but kept the wealth hidden. It was also said that Darkflame was i influential and held supreme status.
More importantly, Darkflame was a killer.
Darkflame was not only a frightening person but also a world–class killer.

Darkflame had been inactive in the world of killers. The name did not appear on the killer leaderboard because there was no news of Darkflame for the past few years.
Therefore, it would be difficult to say who would win the skill contest between Zero, who was currently first on the leaderboard, and Darkflame.
All in all, Darkflame was powerful, and Oneida had every reason to fear him.
“I can’t believe that a customer could make Darkflame do his bidding,” thought Oneida. Her lips were pursed, and her eyes had a faraway look to them.
“So, what’s the status at Garrison Mansion now?” asked Oneida in a low tone. She had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Simon took a deep breath and answered truthfully, “Boss, Darkflame has gone to the Garrison Mansion.”
Meanwhile, break time was over back at the arena.
Roxanne returned to the arena.
She calmed down a lot during break time.
Before that, she had completely lost her cool and would have no doubt lost if she had continued the fight.
Thus, she had no choice but to go against the rule to ask for a break.
She wanted some time to calm herself down and hoped this would disrupt Oneida’s flow too.
Roxanne knew what she did was despicable and showed no sportsmanship, but she did not want to lose, so she had no choice but to do it anyway.
She knew that the referee would agree to the break time.
As a genius of Starlight Class, she had always been favored by the teachers. She had them wrapped around her finger.
It was because of this that Roxanne knew that the referee would back her up.
Some in the audience were unhappy to see Roxanne return to the stage and immediately booed her. In the world of sports competition, the boo was a form of ridicule.
The other audiences were encouraged by the booing, and more and more of them joined in to boo Roxanne.
Suddenly, everyone in the arena was booing Roxanne.
Roxanne stood straight with a calm face as if she had not heard the thunderous boos.
However, no one noticed that her hands were slowly balling up into a fist.
“That’s enough. Everyone quiet down!” Finally, the referee spoke up, hoping to get the audience to shut up.

Unexpectedly, the audience became even more enthusiastic in their booing after that.
Things got out of control when, at that moment, a teacher hurried to the stage and whispered something to the referee.
The referee’s expression turned incredulous when he heard what the teacher told him. However, the ne referee breathed a sigh of relief.
- the
After the teacher left, the referee took the microphone and excitedly announced to the audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, something unexpected has happened. Oneida Chaser, the other contestant tonight, has forfeited the match!”
“Forfeited?” The referee’s words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the audience’s ears.
The audience was surprised because there was no reason for Oneida to forfeit. She was on the verge of winning. Heck, she only needed one more point to win the championship! Forfeiting the match now was akin to giving away the title to Roxanne.
Howard, Hillary, and some students of Regular Class A were all surprised when they heard that Oneida had forfeited the match. They thought Oneida would surely win, that she had the championship in her pocket.
However, the sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking them to no end.
The others in the audience were also
very
confused.
“I don’t believe it. Why did Oneida give up the match? She has no reason to do that. She is so close to winning the championship!”
“No way! Why did she forfeit…?”
“Is Oneida not coming back to the ring? I want to see her fight again…”
The audience’s emotions were a stark contrast to the referee’s, who was feeling elated and relieved.
The referee thought it was fortunate timing that Oneida had forfeited the match. All the teachers wanted Roxanne to win. After all, she was a genius of Starlight Class. They shuddered to think what would happen if a genius like her had lost to a white belt contestant from Regular Class.
Roxanne herself and the whole of Imperial Star University would be embarrassed.
The Starlight Class they were so proud of was the signature brand of Imperial Star University!
Imperial Star University’s reputation would have been damaged if Roxanne had lost. Therefore, the referee had to do everything he could to ensure that Roxanne won and Oneida lost.
For this reason, the referee quickly agreed to a break time, and now that Oneida had forfeited the match, it could only mean that Roxanne was the championship winner.
Moreover, Roxanne’s name was already engraved on the championship trophy.
“Oneida has forfeited the match, so according to the rules…” The referee glanced at Roxanne before turning to the audience. “Roxanne is the winner of this year’s campus festival karate tournament!”
