Without giving the completely stunned Anderson and Titus a chance to retreat, Jack took a step forward, and kicked towards Anderson.
Even though Anderson saw that the kick was heading towards him, he did not have a chance of reacting at all. It was as if his body had been rooted on the spot, waiting for the kick to land on him.
Bam!
With just a single kick, he was knocked out as he landed heavily onto the ground. As for Titus, Jack approached him at an incredible speed, before punching him in the guts, making him pass out in pain.
Silence dominated the entire area, as nobody could believe what they had seen. During the first one, they could perhaps say that it was Matthias who had been careless during the time that he was facing Jack.
Additionally, they could claim that Matthias was completely stunned during the time that Jack showed his prowess. For that reason, he was not able to react on time, and he was easily knocked out.
But what about the three? They were the ones who attacked, and they worked together, to deal with Jack. But in the end, they did not land even a single attack on him, and instead, they were dealt with by a single move, each and every one of them.
Bachan looked at Jack with horror in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if the ones that had invited them over to fight for them, had known that Jack was way stronger than them, and that was the reason why they had asked to them to work together to make sure that they eliminated Jack first.
And when he realized that Jack was looking at him, the fear in his eyes increased. Even though he had fallen onto the ground heavily, and had already had several of his bones fractured, he had managed to remain awake even in the pain.
But still, now, not only had he been injured, but he knew that in the face of Jack, he was completely helpless. So, without hesitation, he hurriedly pulled himself onto his feet, before falling on to the ground again, pretending to have passed out.
Even though Jack had realized that, he did not say anything. To him, this was way more convenient, as he was not willing to continue wasting his time here.
He turned around and looked at the referee, who was completely shocked. He had never expected to see something like this. He had been in charge of several fights in this arena, but this was the only one that he had experienced, where a single person dealt with four people in less than a minute.
"Can I go now?" Jack asked calmly.
It was only after the referee heard Jack's words that he finally reacted. He hurriedly nodded his head, before shouting, "All the competitors have been knocked out, and the winner of the event is, Silver of Azima!"
To say the truth, he was completely excited. He had already known that the four people were planning to attack Jack at the same time. So, since this was his country, he was not willing to lose face, even though this was just a competition between youngsters.
And even though it was not official, this was something that was being posted on the internet, so, it was bound to be spread not long after now.
But since Jack had won, that was enough to remove the stain that had been bound to be smeared on his country's name. So, the referee announced enthusiastically, only preventing himself from laughing out loud, as he was supposed to be professional at the moment.
"Did you guys see just what happened there?"
"You have two eyes, I have two eyes. It is not like I am seeing something different. So, if you didn't see what happened, how do you expect me to see?"
"This is incredible. I had been thinking that we were going to lose, but I had never expected that we were going to win tremendously."
"Haha! They thought that they were the hunters, but in the end, they were prey instead."
"Finally! During the last events, they have been always laughing at us. At least, with this victory, we can wash away all the shame that we have been accumulating during the past four events."
The crowd finally began cheering as they talked to each other. And since the majority in the crowd were from Azima, the loud noise that they made completely irritated those that came from other nations.
But still, what could they do? Not only had they completely lost, but they were not at their home ground as well. So, they could only swallow their anger, thinking that this match's results had been planned for.
On the other side, all the young masters and misses looked incredulously at Jack, before looking at each other once again. The ones from the four nations could not believe it.
Additionally, it was only at this moment that they finally realized something. Azima might have already planned for this. That was the reason why they had come over to propose for them to select someone out of the 30 that had been initially selected.
Just thinking of the fact that they had fallen for the trick, and their parents had also placed a lot of stake that they were going to win, they couldn't help but get depressed at the same time, angry.
But still, there was nothing that they could do, but swallow their anger. After all, they had already agreed, and the competition had already been completed. So, even if they wanted to compete again, they were sure that Azima was not going to agree to that.
In Azima's sitting place, Luther was completely exhilarated. Even though it was guaranteed that that he was not going to lose, but, after he saw that Jack had finally won, not only was his reputation in the group going to increase, but, he didn't need to bother Celine to help him in recovering the losses anymore.
Even though James and the others were having smiles on their faces, those smiles were completely forced. They knew that even if Jack had won, there was nothing that they were going to get.
Although they really wanted to go back on their words, they had already signed an agreement, so, no matter what they did, there was no way that they were going to dissolve the agreement.
…
After leaving the arena, Jack and Celine went back to the villa. There, after eating lunch, Celine decided to go back to the company once again.
Jack did not say anything, but instead, he took out his laptop, and began filtering them out. Denali had already sent him all the videos that she had found, and Jack focused on those that he did not view previously.
Since currently, he had already gotten a suspicious person, he focused on all the videos that contained that young lady. Then, he began investigating, and realized that his suspicions were right.
But still, he could not come to a conclusion just yet. So, he went ahead and began investigating the young lady's background.
But, that was where he came to find something that made him frown. That was the fact that, other than the fact that this lady was a citizen of Zembe, there was actually no any other data that pointed towards her being a Zembe citizen other than her Id.
It didn't matter if it was the hotels, banks, hospitals, there was completely no information about her. It was as if she had just appeared.
Moreover, as he began looking for any video that possessed her face, he didn't find even a single one of them. That implied that, she had never stepped in Zembe.
Deciding not to stop at that, Jack went ahead and began looking into the other four nations. But, he was surprised to find out that she had never stepped in those four nations as well. But, if he looked in Azima, he realized that she had been in Azima for 2 months now.
Another thing that made it more suspicious was the fact that, this lady had been appearing in the places that were either closer to him, or Celine. From the looks of it, it seemed that she was either stalking him, or, she was a spy that had been sent over to look for information about him.
'Could it be that the people from the stronghold have began making their moves? But, from Samantha, she claimed that she had not informed anyone in her organization that she was coming to Azima. At the end of the day, she was only following Erick.' Jack thought with a frown on his face.
'That implies that, there is a narrow possibility that this matter is related to either the butterfly or the Panthers organizations. So, could it be that this is another person from a different organization?'
'But if that is the case, what could be the reason as to why she came over? She can't be in the know that I am involved with the shadow organization. After all, that is something that has been kept a secret by Maxwell.'
Even though he did not know what to think about the matter for now, since he did not know if she was the one that was making Celine to behave abnormally, he decided to continue observing.
All this while, he had not found even a single time that Celine had interacted with this lady. That implied that, the two of them might not know each other, considering that, in all the videos that he had been watching, he had not seen even a single time that Celine looked towards that lady.
Even though it was true that they might be interacting in places without a CCTV camera, Jack could not come to a conclusion without evidence.
And even though he had already found a suspect, he did not decide to stop at that. While investigating this lady, he continued trying to look for any other clues, if there was anyone else involved in the matter.
