Chapter 228: Reactions (1/2)
When the audience cheered for Theo and his group, all other participants seemed to have another thought in their heads, especially Nella's team.
Zara, who hadn't believed Theo's strength despite Nella talking about it continuously, was stupefied and clenched her fists.
Nella, on the other hand, still watched Theo with a calm expression until the screen changed to another person.
”That guy… I mean, Theodore Griffith is…” Zara gulped down and glanced at Nella with a serious expression. She even corrected herself to avoid calling Theo ”that guy” because he was clearly not a random guy.
Feeling Zara's gaze, Nella smiled and turned around. ”Anyway, I need all of you to keep your blade sharp. I have seen it all and I can confidently say he hasn't even gone all out.
”Also, the main competition is not only for fighting. There is one more competition that makes the entire situation overly complicated, especially in terms of tricks. All of you need to watch out for his tricks because no one can tell who our opponent is in the main competition.”
Zara closed her eyes and nodded.
…
On another side, a blonde-haired girl whistled and munched her gum. She wore a white t-shirt with American Flag on her right chest and short pants.
”That guy is interesting, isn't he?” She smiled and glanced at the guy next to her.
He shrugged and said, ”Not really.”
”Are you jealous? Haha, we need to win the first round to meet that kind of guy. I want to test this team.” She smiled and closed her eyes. ”Anyway, our fight is tomorrow. Make sure you all are ready.”
Her teammates only ignored her as she was the one who always had more energy than the rest.
…
China Team.
”There's one thing I would like to know… Griffith is certainly not a common name, but I've heard he has met Nella Griffith. I am afraid his identity is deeper than we imagine,” said China Team Leader Cheng Sui. He glanced to the side, staring at another black-haired guy like him. ”Right, Li?”
”I have asked someone to investigate his background. According to the information, the latter confirmed he is her cousin.”
Cheng Sui smiled and said, ”That's interesting.”
…
Italy Team.
”Have you heard about the dark horse?” asked a brown-haired man as he walked closer to a black-haired girl with a nun outfit, wearing a blindfold.
”Yes. I may not be able to see them, but I have certainly listened to the commentary. Sir Diego has given us enough information from his commentary alone. Unfortunately, we can't really see anything because he needs to stop giving too much information to other teams.”
”What do you think about Theodore Griffith? I feel like he is quite a contender, considering he bears the name Griffith.”
”When listening to his voices, I feel like he has a rough past, but it is also the one that shapes him to the him right now. Other than that, I think I should say, as one would expect from the one who bears that name. Nella Griffith, Theodore Griffith. They're indeed a dangerous family, even though their practice is not something we like to hear.”
”Agreed.”
”Still, we're going to win, okay?”
”Haha, since you, Pope's student, participate, I expect no less than a victory.”
