Second Chances

Lane almost choked on a mouthful of water. 

“Erza likes me?” she said. 

“That’s right!” Rielle said. 

“No way!” Lane said. “He’s Miss Wilson’s fanboy, alright?” At this point, she had a look of disdain. “Miss Wilson already has a boyfriend, but he still refuses to get out of her hair! Have you forgotten?” 

Rielle chuckled, not overthinking things. “You’re right,” she said. Erza did follow Emma enthusiastically every day. A rich kid who was over 5.9 feet tall, he was like an obedient big wolfdog in front of Emma. Many people in the school had seen it. Rielle was deep in thought. “Lots of people said Erza is a playa and treats everyone with that kind of attitude. Lane, if you don’t like him, that’s fine too.” 

The two of them chatted and laughed as they went to the canteen 

Meanwhile, Liam told the organizing committee that Emma was not feeling well and sent someone to receive the award in her place. 

When Emma’s name was printed on the championship board, this was not just her honor in Charon Military School, but also her honor in the country and the entire world! 

Back in the country, Simon naturally saw this scene too. 

Major media outlets were overwhelmingly covering the news, focusing on the sports world. Emma had become famous through and through. 

Simon gripped the coffee cup tightly, and the lid of the cup kept clinking against the cup. 

Looking at his appearance, Derek, the butler, was a little worried. He secretly instructed the kitchen staff to prepare another nourishing chowder with medicinal herbs, fearing that Simon would get sick from anger like last time. 

Equally furious was the entire King’s Association. 

As Emma’s fame in the legitimate and public sphere grew, their operations became increasingly difficult. 

Grail the miracle doctor, who was the designer of Youth, had won first place in Youth Boxing Competition. She now won first place again in Krot Competition. 

She was no longer the sickly snake who was severely beaten by Dana Coast back then. 

Instead, she had transformed into Blaze, soaring through the clouds. 

This was especially the case now. She had people from Team Thunder backing her up. 

The masked man’s voice was sinister as he said, “Find out who are the people in Team Thunder backing her up!” 

Legend had it that there were four formidable figures in Team Thunder, and the leader behind Team Thunder was even more enigmatic and unpredictable. 

Even King’s Association could not rival them in recent years. 

The masked man had completely lost his rationality from anger by now. 

Just as the people he ordered had just left, the live broadcast of the competition on the screen suddenly changed. 

1/4 

G 

It went completely black. 

Then, the same race track appeared, but with different pixels and color tone of light. 

It was the competition from five years ago. 

“Wh–what is this?” the masked man said as he looked at the screen in shock. 

+74%2 

Just moments ago, after Emma and Liam exchanged a confirming glance, she resolutely took the pendant hanging around her neck and pressed a small button on the left side. 

In the next moment, this video immediately replaced the live broadcast of the competition that was airing in various 

countries. 

This was something she and Liam had prepared beforehand. As soon as she pressed the button, viewers from around the world who were tuned into the live broadcast on every television screen saw this scene. 

The screen was playing the competition that Justine had participated in five years ago. 

Just as the girl charged into the net, in just two seconds, she began to foam at the mouth and convulse all over, trembling continuously. 

It was the same low pile net and the same track No. 3. 

Since Krot Competition was held, there had rarely been any unusual events. 

The sudden death of a young athlete five years ago immediately made many people recall their memories. 

Someone immediately thought of the electrical spark incident today and connected these two incidents. 

“What’s going on? Why is the live broadcast gone?” 

“Can’t you tell? Someone wants to cause trouble during the competition!” 

“An incident where someone was electrocuted actually happened in such a large–scale competition! Please ensure justice for 

the athlete. 

“So that girl was electrocuted to death five years ago! I still remember the report back then, saying that she overdosed on medicine.” 

“Who is behind all of this?” 

The competition immediately received overwhelming criticism and pressure from all over the world. 

And all fingers pointed directly at King’s Association 

“King’s Association is going to be in a lot of trouble for the next few days,” 

In an ultra–luxurious double room, Emma stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, sipping coffee while looking outside. 

Liam had just put down his phone. He walked over and hugged her waist from behind, saying. “Now that the entire world is investigating the cause of Justine’s death back then, all eyes are on King’s Association. They won’t be able to hold out for Hong 

Emma nodded. 

After enduring for so long, she had finally endured it to the end 

A merciless battlefield, blood gushing into the ground, and a duel with a slim chance of survival 

Some cruel, dark, and bloody scenes appeared in Emma’s mind. 

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes. Only the mellow fragrance of the black coffee spread between her lips and teeth. 

“King’s Association should have been like this a long time ago,‘ she said. 

“From now on, you’re free, except that you’re mine,” Liam said. 

He took her coffee cup with one hand and kissed her cheek. 

When Emma was competing today, Liam’s gaze never left her. 

She was dressed in black on the field, and her limbs were slender, resembling a black lightning bolt. 

Liam was wearing sunglasses at that moment. 

If he were to take off his sunglasses, one could see that his gaze toward her was filled with desire. 

“Swoosh!” 

The curtains in the room were drawn. 

He missed Emma and had been restraining his longing for her for a long time. 

A few hours after Emma won the championship, another piece of good news came to Charon Military School. 

Erza had surpassed his usual performance and broken his personal record, courageously winning the men’s obstacle course championship. 

The coach was so excited that he was about to become frenzied. He had always been annoyed with Erza, but today, he hugged Erza as soon as he stepped onto the field. 

Erza was shocked and said in a panic, “Sir, don’t do this. I’m a straight man. I don’t like men!” 

“You brat!” the coach said. “I’ll beat the hell out of you. Believe it or not?” 

The coach was also happy, laughing and scolding at the same time. After all, having trained two students who both won first place in the competition was an unprecedented achievement. 

Erza was triumphant this time. The first thing he did after leaving the arena was to give Lennon Burnson a call. “Hello? How is it, Grandpa? Can I do what I like from now on?” 

On the other end of the line, Lennon said nothing, not expressing any opinion. 

But Erza was caught up in his excitement, so he overlooked the serious atmosphere on the other end of the line. 

“Oh, by the way, where’s Emma?” Erza asked the coach at this moment. “Is she joining us for the celebratory party tonight?” 

The coach winked and said, “She left with her boyfriend right after the race. Someone else went up to the podium to accept the award on her behalf. 

Erza was left speechless. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

He thought, “Damn! I was glued to watching her race this morning, and when it was my turn to compete, she didn’t even. bother to watch. She even disappeared? Where the hell did she disappear to?” 

08:54 Mon, Jul 22 

At this moment, Eminwoke up in a leisurely manner. 

The white bed in the hotel was very comfortable. She snuggled to it and felt very relaxed. 

After sleeping for an hour, she surprisingly felt as refreshed as if he had slept for ten hours straight. 

She opened her eyes lazily. Her long eyelashes scattered the afterglow of the setting sun. Her flawless neck, shoulders, and neck were tinted with the orange–red luues of the setting sur 

She shielded her eyes as she got up and saw Liam walking toward her. 

He had just showered and was wearing a black bathrobe. “Are you hungry?” he said. “What do you want to eat for dinner?” 

At every moment such as this, he would be exceptionally gentle and considerate toward her. 

His obsidian–like gaze fixed straight at her. It was extremely dense, as if it could steep into water. 

Emma always felt exposed under such a gaze from him. She hung her head shyly 

“I’m going to the celebratory party with my coach and Erza tonight,” she said. 

She thought, “This was arranged before we left. If I were to stand them up, it’d be manageable with Erza, but it wouldn’t be polite toward the coach. 

At this point, she looked at Liam expectantly and said, “Are you coming with us? There won’t be many people. It’s just a few of u
