Donald was dragged to his seat by the staff of King's Arena because he was too weak to walk on his own. As they hauled him to the clinic, he couldn’t help but glare at the broad back of William, who walked back to his lovely wife.A deep realization of the contrast between himself and William dawned on him.Now he knew that he was leagues beneath William.He realized he wasn’t as strong as he thought he was.He realized he had been wrong about himself for ages.Was he ever better than William? Was William only pretending to be weak to humiliate him today? Has everyone always been wrong about William? He asked himself as his vision went blurry and he lost consciousness.The crowd kept cheering as William gallantly walked back to his stand.Kate was still looking at William as though she had just seen a ghost. Her eyes did not move from his body even as he arrived beside his wife and gave her a peck.On the other hand, since the crowd was watching William reach his seat, they saw him ki

Still at Starkcom hotel.Two burly men walked into the hotel with cold expressions on their faces. Walking beside them was Clarion, who clearly hadn't forgiven them for ruining her lunchtime. She kept shooting them angry glances, her frustration evident.The men headed to the second floor via the staircase. Once there, they thoroughly searched all the unoccupied rooms. They moved with purpose, checking every corner, opening every closet, and looking under every bed. Their meticulousness was impressive.It seemed these men were professionals at conducting searches in a business setting. Despite their intimidating build, they were cautious and polite. This level of efficiency and decorum was typical of the Froster family, known for their prowess in such tasks. Their movements were smooth and coordinated, as if they had done this a thousand times before.They could search a building with a hundred floors and easily spot their target with their keen eyes. The way they kept moving their no

"Are you guys still not done? Hurry up. You're wasting my time," Clarion said in an annoyed voice as she watched the men continue their search.They had finished searching more than fifteen floors and were currently on the eighteenth floor. There were twenty-two floors in total, and Penber was on the twentieth floor at the moment, anxiously waiting for any news. The thoroughness of their search was impressive, but the time it consumed was starting to wear on her nerves."We're doing it thoroughly. Speed in a task doesn’t guarantee efficiency. In the Froster clan, we only care about efficiency and nothing else," one of the men replied absentmindedly. His tone was calm, almost as if he didn’t care about Clarion's impatience. The Froster clan had a reputation for being methodical, and he was upholding that reputation."Who cares what your clan thinks? I'm starving, and you guys are wasting my time," Clarion retorted, frowning. Her stomach growled audibly, adding emphasis to her complaint

The sound of footsteps approaching rang in the passageway leading to the room where Penber and Klein were currently hiding. Penber's heart beat faster and faster as the footsteps drew closer. His body was shivering with fear, terrified of what would happen if they didn't succeed in leaving in time. The situation was growing more intense with every second.The glass of wine in his hands shook violently; if it were filled to the top, some of its contents would have spewed onto the ground. He could barely keep his grip steady, the fear causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably. On the other hand, Klein kept drinking from his wine without a single look of doubt or fear in his eyes. He seemed completely unbothered by the approaching threat, his calm demeanor starkly contrasting Penber's panic. His steady hand and composed face showed no signs of worry."You should calm down. If you keep shivering like this, they'll suspect you are up to something," Klein said while shaking his head pit

Floating in the air like an angel, Clarissa looked down at Kate who reached for her weapon frantically. Kate’s eyes were wide with fear and desperation as she scrambled to grab hold of her weapon. She had never felt so vulnerable and exposed, lying there on the cold ground, her heart pounding in her chest.The judges were on edge, they couldn't even help Kate at this point because they knew the spectators would not agree with it, as they all seemed to like the character of Clarissa. The tension could be seen clearly and the judges exchanged worried glances. They knew any attempt to interfere would be met with outrage from the audience, who were clearly rooting for Clarissa, they would notice their cheating the moment they tried. At this point, even they couldn't help Kate! The helplessness was frustrating, but there was nothing they could do without risking a scandal.Viper watched the battle with a smile on his face, so drawn to the battle that he even forgot to announce. His atten
