Chapter 137
The hall suddenly fell into silence, and it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Moreover, the crowd could even clearly hear their breathing.
“This guy’s strength is… So terrifying…”
“The battle arena’s record-breaker is indeed extraordinary…”
“With such a monster here, how can we win first place…”
At that instant, many people had fear in their hearts.
Some of them could not help but glance at the other popular candidates.
From a certain point of view, those warriors ranked among the Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses who were expected candidates to win the competition.
However, Dora managed to pull everyone’s attention to him with just a punch, and the others only served as his background.
Not including the unconscious Ralph, the other eight people from the top ten geniuses all had a complicated expression on their faces.
Some of them did not even look over, and they kept cursing in their hearts.
They had a great opportunity to enter a sect, yet they met an unreasonably strong opponent like George.
Some of them were also furious, such as Jack, who everyone thought of highly of before.
Jack tightly clenched his fists, and his teeth almost broke as he was gnashing them too hard.
However, no one knew if he was angry or afraid.
There were still a handful of people casting an excited glance at Dora from time to time.
Not long after, several warriors maintaining the orders outside the hall heard a commotion inside, and they came in to check.
When they saw Ralph unconscious with his head covered in blood, the warriors were all shocked.
Although the competition did not have a specified rule that banned private battles before the trials started, everyone still tacitly understood it.
However, the rule was broken.
Just as the warrior responsible for maintaining the order was about to ask what happened, Dora directly said, “The White family’s Ralph White has withdrawn himself from the competition.”
Seeing that it was Dora speaking, the warrior’s face immediately changed.
Under everyone‘s gaze, his expression swiftly changed from cold and indifferent to a friendly one.
“Oh, it’s Young Master Sonya! Alright, I understood.
The White family’s Ralph White has withdrawn from the competition.
I’ll get someone to carry him out.”
When the crowd saw how quickly the warrior changed his attitude, everyone gasped and turned to George.
After all, these warriors in charge of maintaining the orders were best at observing others.
They were so respectful and did not investigate further.
They even helped clean up the aftermath… This only proved that Dora was not only a very capable person, but his background was extraordinary too!
Before this, the crowd thought Dora was just the Lawrence family’s son-in-law, who would be entering into their clan.
However, it appeared that he was more than what he seemed!
Once the few warriors carried Ralph away, no one dared to approach Dora within two meters.
It was better for them not to provoke such a guy before the competition.
On the other hand, Dora also enjoyed the peace.
He hugged his arms and leaned against the wall, patiently waiting for the competition to begin.
Not long after, someone took the initiative to approach him.
Dora raised his head and saw a proper and poise-looking guy. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The young man had a faint smile on his face, and although it did not let anyone have a good feeling about him at first glance, it was not annoying either.
The man did not seem to care about Dora’s indifference.
He smiled as he introduced himself, “I’m from the Evergreen Town’s Pullman family, Bowen Pullman.”
“Oh!” Dora nodded, “What’s the matter?”
When Bowen saw Dora’s attitude, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but at the same time, there was excitement.
“You’ve never heard of me before?”
Usually, other people would have a more incredible reaction than Dora when they saw Bowen.
Nonetheless, Dora’s aloof mannerism intrigued Bowen.
“I have!” Dora looked at Bowen, then patted at the wall beside him.
Bowen understood what he meant, and he walked toward Dora’s side.
Then, he imitated Dora’s action and leaned against the wall.
Soon, a comfortable expression appeared on his face.
“You’re good at finding a spot.
If you’ve heard of me before, why are you treating me so coldly?”
Dora felt Bowen’s innate casualness and laziness.
However, Dora also understood that Bowen might appear easy-going, but this was because Bowen was confident with his ability.
Bowen was a formidable opponent, yet he took the initiative and introduced himself to George.
This baffled George.
Nonetheless, since Bowen already approached him, Dora naturally did not have a reason to avoid him.
Therefore, Dora answered, “Even though the Evergreen Town has three big players, the Pullman family’s power is superior to the White family and the Ford family.
You’re the most famous young master of the Pullman family, and I’ll be lying if I said I’ve never heard of you before.
As to why I’m so cold to you, well… Is an explanation needed? I’m not a beautiful woman, so there’s no need for me to worry.”
“Ha?” Bowen turned over, and his mouth was wide open.
Then, he showed an awkward expression.
“Are you saying that I’m a pervert?”
Dora did not say anything, but his expression already betrayed his thoughts.
After all, everyone in the entire Evergreen Town knew about Bowen’s pursuit of attractive women.
Thankfully, Bowen might be fond of beauties, but he would never force or bully them just because he was strong.
Usually, he would either use his wealth or charisma to make the ladies voluntarily fall into his arms.
If the person were unwilling, Bowen would not pressure her either, and he would just let it go.
Moreover, there would be no such thing as backlash or revenge after.
Hence, although Bowen was an extremely gifted warrior, his tireless pursuit for beautiful women did make others think he was rather immature.
Nonetheless, in all fairness, Bowen’s reputation in Evergreen Town was not bad.
At this time, Bowen’s expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a serious tone, “Since you know me so well, I assume you’ve regarded me as a formidable opponent in this competition…”
Before he even finished his words, Bowen broke character and could not help himself but chuckle.
As he laughed, Bowen apologized to Edgar, “I’m so sorry, please excuse me.
I don’t usually speak in such a serious tone, and it’s uncomfortable.”
Looking at the eccentric Bowen, Dora felt he was strange but also interesting.
“Alright.
Let’s talk about proper business!” Bowen rubbed his handsome face and asked, “Sonya, how confident are you with winning the Dark Moon Sect‘s spot?”
Asking such a question before the competition sounded as if Bowen was trying to pry into his enemy‘s state.
However, Dora did not have any reason to avoid the question.
Dora replied calmly, “I’m determined to win.”
“Then, what about me… ” Bowen instantly appeared miserable, “If you’re determined to win, I won’t have any winning chance anymore.
Am I supposed to walk down the other path and compete with those repulsive guys…”
”What are you saying?” Dora frowned, “What other path?”
