Chapter 156
Originally, they wanted to humiliate Sheena and leave her battered and broken. However, she not only won the competition but also gained immense attention and even had Daniel bending over backward to please her!
He was offering her the vice presidency right off the bat!Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She was just an orphan from an orphanagel Born as a lowly nobody without parents! Why did she deserve this?
As Erin’s jealousy flared, Sheena rejected Daniel indifferently, “No, I’m not interested.” The entire crowd buzzed with astonishment.
Many martial artists coveted the National Martial Arts Association, and most could only long to join. And she, a young girl, was offered the vice presidency directly, a position that most people would not even dare to dream of.
But she just turned it down like that?
Disappointed, Daniel shook his head, lamenting that she was either arrogant or self-absorbed. Meanwhile, Bethany had been furlously typing on her phone ever since she learned that Sheena was Jean’s disciple. Her expression was serious and focused, and nobody knew what she was up to.
Erin glanced at her, exasperated. “Beth, look at the great idea you came up with! This woman will probably become even more arrogant and disregard us!”
Bethany was focused on her phone screen and suddenly smirked. “Don’t worry, this isn’t over yet!” Puzzled, Erin was about to ask, but Bethany stood up abruptly.
Then, she walked onto the stage, snatching the microphone from Hannah’s hand before. accusing Sheena with a righteous tone, “Don't let her fool you! There’s no way she could be Jean’s disciple!”
The entire audience was left dumbfounded.
Daniel was even more puzzled as he asked, “What do you mean, Ms. Carver? I’ve witnessed Ms. Sheena’s skills, which resemble Jean’s unique martial arts techniques!”
Sheena stood silently on the right side of the stage, smirking at Bethany with no intention of explaining. She had never claimed to be Jean’s disciple. It was those people who insisted on putting that label on her.
“Nana?” Howard stood beside her, softly calling her name, seemingly hinting at her.
Sheena understood what he wanted to say and signaled that she did not need him to interfere. In fact, she wanted to see what Bethany was up to!
Bethany, facing the doubts, calmly raised the microphone to explain, “While studying in Roisne, | was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Master Norris through a friend. The disciple with him at the time was clearly a boy.”
Then, she continued, “To confirm this, | recently contacted my friend abroad and found out that Master Norris's disciple is related to the master herself, which was why she accepted him as her disciple. The woman on stage, in terms of gender and background, doesn’t match that
allti information at af What Bethany sail wat all Tachal, which left Daniel somewhat perplexed.
“not the techniques she displayed. They were clearly..”
Bethany picked up where he left off, saying, “Clearly stolen!” The crowd below suddenly became lively, discussing Bethany’s claims.
Stealing other master’s techniques was highly frowned upon in the martial arts community, even more so than Brandon’s sneak attack. If proven true, it would not only result in her being blacklisted but also to be hunted down and beaten by the zealous members of the National Martial Arts Association, with the possibility of ending up crippled.
Seeing the crowd discussing, Bethany added, “Think about it... This woman came from an orphanage, and the gap between her and Master Norris’s status is enormous. So, she must have stolen it! It's not only shameless but also despicable!”
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a chuckle suddenly sounded from the side.
Bethany turned her head toward Sheena, puzzled as she asked, “What are you laughing at?!” Sheena could not hold back her amused smile. Despite wearing casual sportswear, her
demeanor was cold and proud, saying, “Ms. Woods, you’re so confident in your claims. Aren’t you afraid of being proven wrong?”
