Chapter 102
“Why is it him?”
When Ralph walked into the hall, he saw Hezti in the ring.
At first, he was stunned, but soon he gritted his teeth in anger.
At that moment, Ralph’s forehead was wrapped in a big headscarf.
Paired with his long tunic, Ralph appeared absurd.
Nonetheless, Ralph had no choice as he lost the bet with Frank.
Moreover, Hezti even deliberately mentioned the stake in front of William, causing Ralph to be unable to renege on their promises.
Hence, he could only write the words, kept man, on his face.
Thankfully, Simon, who was responsible for writing those words, was still kind.
He did not write them on Ralph‘s cheek but his forehead to make it easy for Ralph to cover them.
As for Simon, once he realized Ralph actually provoked William’s friend, he naturally could not be close with Ralph anymore. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
After writing those words, he went back preoccupied with troubles.
However, Ralph and Faye were not able to return just like that.
After all, they went out to buy a few items and materials as Ralph would represent the White family to grab the Dark Moon Sect’s spot in a month.
Hence, they would need some things to start preparing for that.
Nevertheless, as they felt too resentful, they came to the battle arena after shopping to relax by watching a few matches.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they met someone they did not want to see, Frank.
“What is that man doing in the arena! It’s such an annoying sight!” Ralph clenched his jaw.
On the other hand, as Faye walked into the hall, his head immediately buzzed as the crowd’s overwhelming applause was too loud.
Only when he heard Ralph’s words did he return to his senses.
When he noticed Hezti in the ring, Ralph widened his eyes in shock.
“Why is that guy here too?!”
The crowd continued shouting, and they cheered in unison and loudly.
“Eight consecutive wins!”
”Eight consecutive wins!”
They shouted in excitement, and anyone present could not help but feel their blood rushing too.
“Let’s find our seats first.” With a gloomy face, Ralph found their seats and started asking around.
When he heard that Hezti won seven matches straight, and his next game was about to begin soon, Ralph almost fell from his seat.
“Are you serious? He… He won seven matches straight?” Ralph stammered incoherently, and he felt as if his jaw froze.
The person beside him showed an annoyed expression.
“Why would I lie to you? There are so many people here, and everyone saw it with their own eyes.”
After saying that, the person ignored Ralph and focused on the ring again.
Ralph gasped and looked at Hezti in the arena, and his eyes flashed with shock, anger, embarrassment, fear, and such expressions.
Moreover, his face got more twisted.
“Faye, look! Isn’t that Jack Ford from the Ford family?” Faye whispered as he poked at Ralph.
Following Faye‘s line of sight, Ralph swiftly saw the tall Jack standing among the crowd far from them, and he held his arms as he stared indifferently at the ring.
Ralph gave it a thought and soon recalled something.
“That’s right! Jack has been competing in the battle arena for the past few days, and he has made a name for himself.
Besides, he never loses, and he’s even nicknamed ‘One-Punch Jack’.
It seems that Hezti is going to break his record!”
At the thought of that, Ralph’s heart beat violently.
He was unaware of Hezti’s ability, but he heard before that Hezti defeated the Lawrence family’s genius, Ashton.
Nonetheless, as Ralph did not witness Hezti beating up Ashton, Ralph felt Ashton deliberately lost to keep a low profile.
As Jack was also part of the younger generation from Evergreen Town’s families, and he was also the best among his peers in his family, Ralph knew of Jack’s talent and ability.
“Hezti is actually going to break Jack’s record soon.
It seems that Hezti is quite capable, and I must be more careful of him in the competition a month later.”
Then, Ralph pondered for a moment before laughing menacingly.
“However, Hezti might not be aware that he’s about to be in big trouble.
Doesn’t he know that it’s not easy to steal Jack’s limelight? Jack will surely make you pay by hundreds of folds… That’s right!”
At that time, Ralph suddenly thought of an idea, and he felt butterflies in his stomach.
“As the saying goes, an immature genius is not really a genius.
Hezti humiliated me today, and if I can take advantage of the battle arena to kill him, I’ll have one lesser competitor in the upcoming competition next month.
Moreover, with Jack as the cover, no one will suspect me.”
Ralph liked the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
“As long as Hezti is destroyed in the arena, even if anyone suspects anything, they’ll only deduce it because he stole Jack’s limelight, and they won’t connect it back to me at all.
Well, let‘s do it!” Ralph looked at Paul, and he touched the headscarf wrapping his head.
Soon, his eyes were full of spite.
“Since you humiliated me so badly today, I want you to repay it with your blood!”
After making up his mind, Ralph did not hesitate anymore and whispered to Faye, “Faye, do you remember our White family’s guest, Louis Morgan? He used to fight in this battle arena and has a relatively high winning rate?”
“Mm.
Yes, I remember him.” Faye nodded.
”Great! Go and look for him now.
Tell him that I have a task for him, and once it’s done, I’ll give him two thousand… No!” Ralph paused, then he spoke through gritted teeth, “I’ll give him four thousand fedulings as a reward and guarantee his future prospect!”
Faye looked at Ralph in surprise.
After all, 4000 fedulings was not a small amount, and as the younger generation of the White family, they only got a few hundreds of fedulings a month.
Even if Ralph received special treatment and might receive slightly more than others, he would not have so much too.
Hence, 4000 fedulings would definitely burn a colossal hole in Ralph’s pocket.
However, when Faye glanced at Hezti and looked back at Ralph fuming in rage, Faye instantly understood.
“Ralph, I get it.
You want to…”
“That’s right.
I want Louis to kill him!” Ralph uttered word by word, and his resentment for Hezti was so deep.
Even though his voice was low, Faye was frightened when he heard Ralph saying those words.
He felt a chill running down his spine and goosebumps everywhere.
“I’ll handle it now! Wait for me, Ralph!” Faye did not dare to spend another second beside the angry Ralph, so he hurriedly left.
Not long after, Faye brought a middle-aged man with a long face to meet Ralph in a secluded corner of the battle arena.
