Chapter 241 Silence
"Leopold, Leopold!" The girl in the floral dress jumped up, shouting with excitement.
Even from a dozen feet away, James could feel her arrogance and beauty.
The crowd went wild, whistles cutting through the air, all chanting Leopold's name.
Olivia didn't react as dramatically, but her breathing was a bit heavy as she looked at Maurice, who had fallen at her feet.
Her beautiful face showed a hint of tension.
The close-up bloodshed hit a soft spot in her heart.
No matter how cunning and ruthless a big shot might be, the bloody cruelty was still hard for her to bear for a moment.
"Olivia, Aaron, Raymond, your people are really useless! I didn't expect all to be trash too." Neil let out a piercing laugh, pointing at Olivia and her group, sneering, "There are still four spots left, hurry up and send someone to their death. With your level, you still think you can stop my dad from coming back? You're simply delusional. I advise you to surrender now to avoid injuries and maintain some dignity. Otherwise, Leopold will cripple you one by one, winning ten to zero, and you'll be utterly humiliated."
A group of Neil's buddies laughed along, looking at Raymond and his group with disdain.
So much for the Rosewood City crew. All talk, no action. They couldn't even handle one Leopold.
"Don't you understand our situation?" Jacob couldn't help but shout, "If you have the guts, allow the Rosewood City Mystic Alliance disciples to participate, and we'll guarantee to knock you down in minutes."
"Exactly, tying our hands and then saying we're not strong enough." Taylor snorted, "Neil, you and your dad are really shameless."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not me keeping the Rosewood City Mystic Alliance out; you're the ones being shut down. What does it have to do with me?" Neil smiled indifferently.
Neil continued, "Alright, stop the nonsense, hurry up and send someone to fight, so you can lose convincingly. And don't think about cheating, today we have Mr. Carter and seven other experienced people as witnesses. If you dare to cheat, not only will Mr. Carter and the others punish you, but I will also stop at nothing to take your lives. I heard the WH Group has more women than men, and they're all stunning. We can hit on different one every day."
Neil was very proud, looking like he had the situation under control.
"Shut up!" Olivia's pretty face darkened as she interrupted Neil, "We haven't lost yet, Neil, you have nothing to be proud of."
Neil sneered, "Let's see how you win this battle tonight."
"Raymond, Miss Lee!" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, with undisguisable anxiety on his face, and whispered in Olivia's ear, "There is bad news, the last four fighters saw the live video and refused to fight Leopold to the death. They said the opponent is too strong, and going up is simply suicide. They'd rather break a hand than step into the ring."
Neil caught this sentence and laughed heartily, "Are you afraid to fight?"
He laughed, "Olivia, the people you found are really useless, neither skilled nor brave. You've lost, from now on, my dad will call the shots in Rosewood City."
On the battle stage, losing momentum and confidence meant losing.
At this moment, Zachary suddenly took the microphone and spoke to Olivia and her group, "Mr. Collins, Mr. Clark, please send someone from Rosewood City to fight. If no one steps into the ring within five minutes, you will lose the seventh match."
He seemed fair and strict, but in reality, he wasn't giving Aaron and his group any chance.
"Let's use our trump card!" Raymond, who had been silent, nodded slightly, determination in his eyes. "For the next match, Tyler will fight."
Aaron and the others were shocked. "Raymond, absolutely not."
Tyler was burdened with a blood feud and was criticized by everyone. People had long assumed he had fled or died. If he showed up, he would surely die, and The Clark Family would be caught in a storm of public opinion. Thousand Treasures Corporation's business would also plummet. The consequences would be severe.
"I know the consequences, but in this situation, Tyler has to step in," Raymond said firmly. "Compared to Bryan's return to Rosewood City, I'd rather The Clark Family be criticized."
Patrick and the others fell silent. If Bryan returned, Rosewood City would never have peace, and they would also face life-threatening danger.
"I'll fight the next match." Taylor slapped the table, stood up, and looked at Leopold. "I'll fight him to the death."
"It's just a sparring match, no need to risk your life." At that moment, a hand pressed on Taylor's shoulder. "I'll take this match."
A sudden loud voice silenced the room instantly, making everyone look over, some confused, others annoyed.
The girl in the floral dress frowned, looking at the uninvited guest with disdain, clearly thinking this guy was pretending to be tough. Her tank top companion also shook his head with a superior smile on his face.
Olivia's heart trembled. She recognized the familiar voice and knew who had arrived. "James?"
Raymond and the others also stood up, greeting with warm smiles. "Mr. Williams, why are you here?"
James smiled gently. "You all take care of me a lot, how could I stand by when you're in trouble?"
"Don't worry, I'll take the next match." He looked towards Leopold.
Patrick and the others waved their hands repeatedly. "No, Leopold is too strong."
Olivia also nodded. "You shouldn't get involved in this matter."
James held Olivia's hand. "This is nothing."
Strong and confident.
The girl in the floral dress looked at James with great displeasure. "A nobody dares to challenge Leopold, truly unaware of his own abilities."
The woman in the dress also stared at James, the rogue, with a look of disdain.
At that moment, a figure jumped onto the blood-stained battle stage, half a beat faster than James. It was Francis. He held a picked-up sword in his hand. Not long, about 23 inches. In comparison, whether in stature or aura, there was a huge difference. Francis was too weak, thin, and pale.
All eyes instantly focused on him, looking at Francis as if he were a fool.
The girl in the floral dress screamed even louder. "Leopold, kill this fool."
She hated people who didn't recognize their own abilities the most. Especially those who challenged her idol.
James shouted, "Francis, get down."
He couldn't let Francis take the risk.
This time, Francis didn't obey, only looking at Leopold with indifferent eyes.
Seeing Francis about to fight, Leopold squinted his eyes. "Are you looking for death?"
Francis raised his right hand. Leopold's face changed dramatically, and he retreated repeatedly. But he stopped halfway because a sword was pointed at his forehead.
The whole place fell silent instantly.
