Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
The corners of his lips spasmed a little. It was at this moment that his cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that Nora had sent him a screenshot of a chat.
On the screenshot was a message that Lily had sent to Nora: “Boss, a thief just went into the Smiths’ manor. By the way, if he gets caught, can you avoid hitting his face? He’s pretty handsome, and he’s my type. It’d be a real shame if anything happens to his face!”
After sending him the screenshot, Nora also sent him a question mark.
Quentin: “!!!”
Quentin was livid!
How could he possibly be a thief?! How could an inferior creature like a thief possibly be worthy of his position as the ruler of the secret forces?!
His cousin’s assistant was simply too much!
Nora had received the message from Lily shortly after she brought Pete into the bedroom. When she saw her describe the thief as a very handsome man, and thought of how infatuated Lily had looked while looking at photos of young male celebrities in the past; she immediately knew that the ‘thief’ she was talking about was Quentin.
Lily had gone out too suddenly. Quentin had probably been in the car park, so the two of them must have bumped into each other.
After forwarding the screenshot to Quentin, she went to take a shower.
A short while later, she heard a light knock on the door. The person knocking on the door seemed very cautious.
Nora yawned and opened the door. It was Quentin. He asked sneakily, “Nora, are you going to the arena?”
Nora: “?”
She asked in surprise, “Didn’t we already ask for a day off yesterday?”
She was taking her kids to the amusement park, so she had informed the arena’s staff the day before that they wouldn’t be competing in any matches that day.
Quentin replied, “But Victor and the others have matches today. As they say, know the enemy, know thyself, and you will fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat!”
Nora yawned again and said sleepily, “You’re right.”
Quentin was overjoyed. When he was about to say “Let’s go”, Nora clapped down hard on his shoulder and said, “Therefore, I’m leaving this arduous task to you! Only after you know the enemy inside out can you lead the two of us weaklings to beat them!”
Quentin: “!!!”
His lip corners couldn’t help but spasm. “Nora, if I recall correctly, you fell asleep at ten last night and only woke up at eleven this morning. You slept for a whole thirteen hours…”
Nora was surprised. “Really? In that case, I did indeed sleep an hour longer than usual.”
She yawned again.
For some reason, she had been feeling unusually sleepy lately.
Quentin: “…”
His lip corners spasmed again. “Alright, I’ll go!”
There was no other way. Among the three-man team, one was there just to make up the numbers while the other was Big Sister, who didn’t like to bother about such things. As such, the arduous task could only be entrusted to him now!
Quentin went to the underground tournament arena. The masked man walked around inside. After saying hi to Linda, he sat in the VIP dining area to watch the match.
There were three people on Victor’s team.
They were already challenging Class E teams tonight.
However, they defeated their opponents in just ten minutes.
The emcee kept silent for a moment before he finally announced with displeasure, “Team Americans Are Incompetent wins!”
None of the spectators applauded or cheered.
Victor and his teammates stood in the ring and shouted arrogantly, “Is there no team that can fight in the USA?”
The people at the bottom of the ring shouted one after another:
“What are you being so arrogant about? You’ll be up against Team Third In The World tomorrow! Victor, have you already forgotten how No. 028 sent you flying with a kick?”
“Hahaha, exactly!”
“Team Third In The World! Team Third In The World!”
These two powerful teams had shone the brightest in the tournament this year. Even though the two teams looked equally matched, everyone had placed their hopes in Team Third In The World.
Upon the audience calling out his team’s name, Quentin suddenly stood up in the crowd.. With a sharp look in his eyes, he stared at the stage. Then, he pointed his middle finger at Victor and the other two in the ring!
The action was full of contempt.
Quentin’s actions made everyone excited.
Everyone jumped onto their feet and pointed their middle fingers at the ring.
The audience came from all walks of life, but all of them were already part of the working society. Some of them were fathers, while some were mothers. All of their youthful passion had long been erased by society.
It was so difficult to even hold the tournament itself. Additionally, from the way how Nora had defeated all her opponents with just a single move in the beginning, one could easily see that the contestants in the martial arts tournament didn’t actually have any real substance or skill.
In the current age of material desires, martial arts might already have become a thing of the past a long time ago.
No one wanted to practice and train hard from a young age just for the sake of such a martial arts tournament. That was why the Quinn School of Martial Arts and the Irvin School of Martial Arts had such a high status in the pugilistic world—because they were the only two sects who had financial support. Not only did they not charge any tuition fees for practicing martial arts, but they even provided financial subsidies and wages to support the disciples and give them confidence in training.
Big Brother and Big Sister had, therefore, become these martial arts practitioners’ faith.
Now, everyone’s thirst for blood was aroused in this instant.
It was as if those days when they were still young and cocky were right before their eyes.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ring. All their indignation and humiliation from being insulted just now was gone, and only confidence and passion remained in this instant.
They firmly believed that the USA’s martial arts would definitely beat the Benevolence Hall!
When Victor and the other two saw this, all of them frowned.
They, who were originally the victors, seemed to lose their momentum, and they got out of the ring pathetically.
“Get off the ring! You traitor!!”
“A treasonous traitor like you cannot live well for long!”
“A mere boxing champion actually dares to come here and provoke us? Team Third In The World will teach you how to behave!”
Amidst everyone’s shouts, Quentin looked at Victor and the other two from the back, his expression turning serious.
From observing the match just now, he realized that Victor and his teammates had become stronger again.
Given how strong they were, unless Big Brother joined his team, with just him and Big Sister, they might not actually be able to win.
With that in mind, Quentin lowered his head, picked up his cell phone, and sent a text message to Nora: ‘Nora, Victor and his teammates have become stronger again. Why don’t we cooperate with Big Brother?’
After sending the message, he continued typing: ‘They were simply too arrogant just now. We must kick their a*ses tomorrow night!’
After sending the message, he looked around. Seeing that there wasn’t anything else happening anymore, he got ready to go home.
Suddenly, he received a text message: ‘Boss, someone is investigating Ms. Nora again.’
The message was from someone in the Smiths’ secret forces.
Quentin’s participation in the tournament was his private affairs, so he hadn’t brought them with him.
Quentin had instructed the Smiths’ secret forces to keep an eye on Nora and protect her during this recent period of time. They were to report to him immediately if they found any unidentified people looking into her.
He replied: “I’m coming over right away.”
He had to ensure his cousin’s safety.
It might be Big Sister he was protecting, but it only meant that all the more nobodies like them shouldn’t be bothering her!
After sending the message, he headed to the car park.
After Victor and his teammates got off the ring and got into the car, they received a call from Abigail.
“How did it go tonight?” He asked.
Antoine, the bald man, replied, “Piece of cake. It seems like they are very satisfied with Team Third In The World, though, and threatened to have them teach us a lesson tomorrow.”
Abigail sneered, “Team Third In The World? The name alone already sounds weak. If they can only take third place, then isn’t the champion title still ours in the end?”
Antoine burst out laughing at once. He looked very confident.
Victor, who was listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but be a wet blanket. “That woman in the red dress from Team Third In The World is Big Sister.”
His one-liner threw everyone in the car into silence.
Seemingly sensing the others’ silence, Abigail sneered, “Has a mere woman frightened you guys witless? Victor, you have to believe in yourself. You’re definitely a match for her now! Even if Big Brother joins them, the three of you can still beat them!”
Victor lowered his head. “I find that difficult.”
Antoine sneered, “What’s the matter with you, Vic? Are you actually putting yourself down at a time like this? No wonder people say that you Americans are incompetent. All of you are so thin and weak. It’s obvious at a glance that none of you can put up a fight!”
The last person among the team of three was also a foreigner. When he heard what Antoine said, he looked at Victor brazenly and burst out laughing. “Hahahaha!”
Victor’s face darkened. “How about a match between you and I, Antoine? I will show you who the strongest in this team is!”
Antoine sneered and said nothing.
Antoine was very strong. His strength was on par with Victor’s. However, Victor fought in a way that threw caution to the wind and disregarded his own safety. How would he possibly dare to fight him?
Besides…
Antoine found himself a fantastic excuse. “We will be up against Team Third In The World tomorrow. We should not be having an internal conflict at a time like this.”
Victor wanted to speak, but Abigail interrupted him. “Vic, in your opinion, what are our chances of beating them?”
Victor slowly replied, “70 – 30.”
Antoine broke into a grin at once. “That’s more than enough! Victory is pretty much in the bag with a 70% chance of winning.”
Victor raised his head. The look in his eyes was cold as he said, “What I meant was, our chances of winning are 30% and 70% theirs.”
Antoine narrowed his eyes.
Victor said, “I’m the only one who has fought Big Sister before in the tournament. She isn’t to be underestimated. Moreover, she hadn’t used her full strength when she was beating me up that time. No one knows how strong she really is. Besides, there’s also the crazy Smithin helping her out. The man wearing the black mask may look useless, but what if he is also a martial arts expert? We may not necessarily be their match!”
His analysis made a lot of sense. At last, Antoine and Abigail didn’t dare to mock him anymore.
Abigail suddenly asked, “Vic, do you want the third dose of the drug?”
Victor’s head whipped up. “Yes!”
Dim light flickered in the man’s eagle-like eyes. He had to have it!
Abigail said, “Then think of a way to win the match. Or else, you can forget about ever getting the third dose!”
