A Warm Marriage After Rebirth

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Who’s the Winner?

Only after everyone had left did Seraphina Sterling, who had been standing ramrod straight, suddenly feel her legs give out. If she weren’t leaning against a thick tree trunk, she probably would have collapsed right onto the ground.

Seeing this, the perverted doctor let out an unscrupulous laugh. ”Weren’t you so imposing and domineering just now! How is it that the moment they leave, you turn into a jelly-legged weakling!”

Seraphina Sterling wiped the sweat from her forehead and shot him a faint glance. ”Don’t forget, if it weren’t for this ’jelly-legged weakling,’ you’d probably be checking into The Reaper’s Court right now!”

The perverted doctor: ’...So charmless.’

”What happened?” Terrence Grant rushed over the moment he sensed something was wrong. The air was thick with the smell of blood and a foul chemical stench. Everyone present was experienced and immediately pieced together what had likely occurred.

”Teacher Grant, this place isn’t nearly as safe as you think. Even little rats like them can bring weapons here and throw their weight around. What if a man-eating tiger comes next time? To an enemy like that, this place is probably just an annoying little pebble they can kick away effortlessly.”

Seraphina Sterling pushed herself back to her feet. ’Her words were harsh, but they were the truth. A man as arrogant as him must have offended plenty of people. With security this weak, it would be all too easy if someone truly wanted to make a move against him!’

”Are you worried about me?” A smile bloomed on Terrence Grant’s face, stunning everyone present. Even the other men found it unbelievable—they were actually captivated by another man’s smile! It was so damn alluring, like a vibrant crimson flower blooming in the Nightfall, making it impossible for anyone to tear their eyes away.

”Well, you are my teacher, after all! Isn’t it perfectly normal for a student to worry about her teacher? You’d better not...” Just as Seraphina Sterling was about to say, ’get the wrong idea,’ a strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

”Don’t tell me you did all this on purpose? As expected of the renowned Mr. Grant. To go so far as to use yourself as bait just to find the mole... I’ve really seen it all today!”

The warm smile vanished from Seraphina Sterling’s lips. ’He was obviously setting a trap. Terrence Grant himself wasn’t worried about anything going wrong, so what the hell was I doing worrying my head off? My warning was just me getting ahead of myself!’

”Isn’t the assessment still going on? I won this round. So, what’s next? What’s the event? Who’s up?” With a blank expression, Seraphina Sterling looked surprisingly authoritative. Everyone but Terrence Grant was so taken aback by her severe tone that they were momentarily struck dumb.

Only two trials remained: close-quarters combat and diving.

Stoney was up for close-quarters combat.

Stoney, true to his name, had a powerful physique and forceful fists—he was the real deal, a master of brute strength. A direct hit from one of his punches would guarantee you at least a two-week hospital stay.

But Seraphina Sterling was clever. Her numerous sparring sessions with Terrence Grant had given her plenty of experience. In a pure contest of strength, she was obviously no match for Stoney. However, she was worlds faster than him, and with her agility, dodging his attacks was no difficult feat.

The handful of onlookers stared at the two combatants without even blinking. Watching Seraphina Sterling’s inhuman speed, they were too stunned to speak.

”Not just anyone can beat Stoney’s Fighting Skill. Even if she can dodge his attacks, she can’t possibly win that way! If she wants to win, she has to go on the offensive!”

Silly Monkey was still disgruntled. Even though the perverted doctor had also lost, meaning he wasn’t the only one defeated by Seraphina Sterling—which saved him a little face—he still felt incredibly frustrated.

”You’re right! But for some reason, I just have a feeling Stoney is going to lose!” The perverted doctor couldn’t explain why he felt that way, either.

Suddenly, Seraphina Sterling stopped defending and went on the offensive! She unleashed a continuous flurry of punches, dazzling the spectators. Even the experienced Stoney was hit a few times. But that was only at the start. Soon, she began landing fewer and fewer hits, and her attacks grew increasingly chaotic.

Stoney, however, had figured out the pattern to Seraphina Sterling’s offense and was now dodging her blows with ease.

”She’s panicking! Stoney’s got this in the bag!” A triumphant gleam lit up Silly Monkey’s eyes, as if he were the one about to win.

”Not necessarily!” Mermaid, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. She had no proof; it was purely a woman’s intuition.

Having figured out Seraphina Sterling’s pattern, Stoney launched another ferocious assault! ’This girl has some real skill, but it’s not enough to beat me!’

As Seraphina Sterling watched him accelerate his attacks, a faint smile unconsciously touched her lips. ’Perfect,’ she thought. ’He walked right into it.’
