Stella was stunned.
That person?
She followed Mia's finger and saw Eric's profile not far away.
Although the lighting in the venue was dim, it was not difficult to recognize him.
"What?" Mia said inexplicably, "Is Mr. Smith also a fan of your husband?"
Stella gently bit her lip.
Thinking back to Eric's unusual behavior of inquiring about Liam in the past few days, Stella felt that his
appearance here was very strange.
Could it be that he really had some grudge against Liam?
This was a boxing match, and it was common for boxers to get injured. If he wanted to do something
here, wouldn't it be too easy?
The more Stella thought about it, the more worried she became.
But now the venue was already crowded, and the match would start in a few minutes. She was not
familiar with the backstage area and couldn't go there to deliver a message to Liam. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone, and found a quiet place outside to call Aiden.
...
The match was intense.
The first few rounds went smoothly. Although that person had once held the championship, he was no
match for Liam. Liam fought more and more bravely, and the atmosphere in the arena became even
more heated. The spectators screamed continuously, many of them waving flags and cheering for the
fighters in the ring.
Liam was like a ferocious beast made of steel, even his fierce gaze intimidating his opponent.
His hook punches were neat, hitting the vital points.
After another round, the opponent leaned against the iron cage, panting heavily. The look in his eyes
showed a hint of fear. The referee called for a break, and both sides made some adjustments. Liam
looked down toward the audience area but could not find that petite figure.
He furrowed his brows.
He had seen Stella sitting there backstage just now.
His heart suddenly felt empty.
However, when the bell rang, he continued to focus on the match without any expression on his face.
But he couldn't help but glance at the spectator stands until Eric's figure suddenly caught his eye.
His expression froze, a fierce light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
What was Eric doing here? How did this guy know that he had a match today?
And what is his purpose in showing up here?
A series of questions hovered in Liam's mind. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that he
shouldn't have performed so conspicuously in those few rounds just now. Even if Eric didn't work for
Christopher, he was likely to work against him. He could not expose his identity to Eric.
He was Liam, not Noah.
In the boxing ring, he was dazed. His opponent threw a punch at him, and he failed to dodge it.
He deliberately froze in place, and that punch landed heavily on his brow bone, instantly breaking the
skin and drawing blood.
The audience let out a burst of boos. Those who had been cheering and excited just now stared
blankly at the arena.
"What's going on? Did he fall asleep?"
"Weren't the previous few rounds fine?"
"It seems that this guy is not that strong. Boring!"
In the crowd, Eric frowned and watched with doubt.
In the remaining half of the match, the opponent became more and more fierce, while Liam seemed to
be sleepwalking, unable to fight back at all. He kept covering his head to defend himself.
"Mr. Smith, this man doesn't look at Mr. Noah Martinez at all!" The person beside Eric sneered, "Would
he be so cowardly?"
"Yeah. I thought this kid fought well in the previous few rounds. Maybe he took banned substances!
Now that the drugs have worn off, he's nothing!"
The suspicion in Eric's eyes grew heavier like a dark cloud.
Oliver and Caleb were sweating for Liam. Oliver almost jumped up. He kept asking Caleb, "What is
going on with Noah?"
Caleb pressed him down in his seat, looked around, and vaguely saw Eric's figure.
"Shh!" He signaled Oliver to be quiet. "Noah must have his reasons for doing this. Don't make a fuss!"
"Could it be because Stella isn't watching him?"
As soon as the words fell, there was another piercing scream in the venue. Liam half-knelt on the
ground, one hand covering his left rib area, sweat mixed with blood slowly dripping from his forehead.
"Liam..."
Stella returned to the venue and was stunned by the scene.
She was terrified.
In her mind, Liam had always been like a god of war. She had never seen him being beaten up like
this.
Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, and she was extremely anxious. She rushed toward the
boxing ring, but the security personnel stopped her.
Her anxious shouts were drowned out in the crowd.
Stella didn't know how she managed to make it through until the end of the match. She became more
and more afraid to look at the boxing ring until the referee's whistle sounded and the winner was
determined. She immediately rushed out of the crowd and ran frantically toward backstage.
"Stella, don't worry!" Aiden arrived in time and said, "Based on my understanding of Liam, his physical
condition is good. He should be fine."
"Dr. Johnson, please help him..." Stella's face turned pale, tears swirling in her eyes. "I'm really
scared..."
"It's alright! Take me backstage first!"
Eric led them backstage.
"Mr. Smith, is it necessary to go there?"
"Yes!" Eric's face darkened, "Dr. Wolfe, did you bring your equipment?"
"Yes, but..."
"Let's take the opportunity to get something from him that can be used for DNA testing."
Dr. Wolfe frowned slightly but nodded in the end.
Eric never believed that it was really Liam.
Despite Christopher repeatedly explaining that Noah was in Bramore and even though the person in
the boxing ring was too weak and cowardly to be Noah, he still didn't believe it.
The group hurried backstage, but they encountered Stella and Aiden at the entrance of the changing
room.
"Mr. Smith?" Stella's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface. "What are you doing
here?"
Eric's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile.
"I... I've said before that I'm quite interested in boxing, so I bought a ticket and came to watch the
match. I didn't expect Mr. Anderson to be one of the participants."
"Oh." Stella nodded lightly, about to go in, but Eric stopped her."
"Miss Taylor, it seems like Mr. Anderson is seriously injured. Coincidentally, my friend is a doctor. How
about letting him check on Mr. Anderson?"
"No need." Stella refused flatly, then raised an eyebrow at him. "Mr. Smith, do you need to bring a
doctor to watch a match?"
Eric felt awkward and couldn't come up with a response for a moment.
"My husband doesn't like strangers getting close to him." Stella chuckled. "It's a coincidence that the
person by my side is also a doctor and a friend of both me and my husband. Having him around is
enough."
"Miss Taylor..."
"Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your kindness." Stella blocked the door. "But my husband really doesn't
need it. Mr. Smith, please leave!"
