A group of people sat in a large office.
They were discussing the heated competition outside.
A white-haired old man said, “That man’s strength is extraordinary. He actually won so easily.
“This isn’t good news!”
At this moment, a middle-aged man agreed and said, “Indeed, this man is very powerful.
“I’m afraid he’s going to spoil our plan. Initially, we knew the strength of everyone on the registration list. The people we arranged would definitely win. Now, something unexpected has happened. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing.”
At this moment, a dignified-looking old man sitting in the main seat said, “This might not be a bad thing. Recently, I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen. Our opponents aren’t as simple as we think.
“Their participants in the competition are definitely not as weak as they appear on the surface. They definitely have their trump cards. If they don’t have some confidence, how would they dare to initiate an association challenge? The appearance of this person might be a good thing for us. After all, he represents our side.”
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested. It was as if saying so much had taken half his life.
A young man sitting beside the old man said, “Sir Arthur is right. Perhaps this isn’t a bad thing. It’s just that we don’t know who this person is and if he can be used by us.”
The old man who spoke first was about to speak.
Sir Arthur, who had his eyes closed, stopped him, and said, “No need to discuss any further, let nature take its course. What’s ours is ours, no one can take it away.
“Alright, let’s end today’s meeting here. No one is allowed to privately interfere in the boxing competition.”
Faced with the old man’s imposing tone, no one present dared to refute him. They all agreed and then left.
At this moment, John didn’t know that the people in the conference room were talking about him.
He was telling Bill stories about his past.
It was as if the battle he had just experienced was just a common occurrence.
Bill said to John, “You only have one match today. As there are many people competing, each person will only have one match a day.
“Towards the end of the elimination round, there will be two or even three matches a day. That’s the time where the strength of the contestants will really be put to the test. I will inform you when there are matches for you.”
John agreed after listening to this.
He could make use of these few days to do some other things.
Then, he walked out of the underground boxing gym.
…
In a gorgeous villa.
An old man was discussing something with a policeman.
The old man said, “How’s the investigation on my daughter going? Was the accidental man-made or really just an accident?”
Hearing this, the policeman said to the old man, “After our investigation, everything that happened seems to show that it was an accident.
“According to our investigation, your daughter was in the middle of an interview.
“She was interviewing a young man. There seemed to be some conflict between the two of them during the interview.
“However, that young man shouldn’t be related to the accident.
“He left your daughter’s office before the incident.”
When the old man heard that his daughter had a conflict with a young man before the accident, perhaps it was a predator’s intuition, but the old man’s brows suddenly furrowed.
The policeman continued, “From all the traces left in the room, it’s not difficult for us to make a review of the entire incident.
“It’s about 1.30 PM. Your daughter was interviewing the young man.
“The interview lasted about three minutes before the young man left the office. Then, your daughter seemed to have encountered something and left.
“At 1.33 PM, your daughter happened to pass by the entrance to the laboratory when the laboratory suddenly exploded.
“All of this was very coincidental. Just as your daughter reached the entrance of the laboratory, it exploded.”
The old man frowned even more when he heard that. He seemed to have discovered something.
He turned to his assistant and asked, “Why did the laboratory explode? Where did everyone go? What happened in the laboratory?”
Three consecutive questions made the assistant extremely nervous.
The policeman looked at the nervous assistant and took the initiative to say, “Let me tell you the process.
“In the laboratory at that time, the researchers were working. Suddenly, the lab manager received a call.
“That person claims to be Tina’s assistant. The content of the phone call is to get the laboratory staff to leave the office at 1.30 PM and go to the office for a meeting.
“Due to time constraints, the people in the laboratory didn’t prepare the materials according to the normative measures, which resulted in the explosion.”
The old man instantly lost his temper upon hearing this.
He shouted madly at his assistant, “Are the people in those laboratories idiots? How are they doing their work? Fire all of the people who were working in the laboratory at that time.
“I spent money to raise such a bunch of trash. This really makes me mad.”
The policeman ignored the old man’s temper and continued to narrate, “Unfortunately and coincidentally, that assistant also died in the accident.
“He was smashed to death by the remnants of the explosion upstairs while he was going downstairs.”
After the old man heard this, he felt that things were definitely not that simple. It was as if he was even more certain that this wasn’t a simple accident. There was definitely someone behind this.
If someone was really behind all of this, then how powerful was this person to calculate everything with such precision!? The old man felt a chill running down his spine. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
In his words, the policeman didn’t categorize the incident as an accident, but the scene and the process he described all reflected the fact that it was just an accident.
The old man looked at the assistant behind him.
The middle-aged assistant seemed to understand something. He bowed and took out a thick envelope.
The policeman looked at the envelope, waved his hand, and pushed it away. In the end, he still didn’t accept the envelope.
Eric State Police Station.
The explosion also caused a commotion in the police station.
“That lady is really too unlucky. This probability of this happening is only one in ten thousand chance, yet she still encountered such a thing,” said a female detective.
Alan, who was tidying up some documents, suddenly became nervous when he heard them talking about the accident. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression became fearful.
