upon either of you would be a teflection of our inadequacy in hospitality. How about we continue
watching the performances, and perhaps the next act will be more to your liking
Vanessa also chimed in to mediate.
Bethany remained standing, her gaze still fixed on Sheena.
Sensing the shift in dynamics, Erin also stood up, provoking Sheena, “Afraid, aren’t you? Well, it’s
simple. Admit that you’ve fooled all those who praised your skills, and you’re nothing more than a liar
from an orphanage.”
“Ms. Freeman!” Hannah could not tolerate it any longer.
Before Hannah could continue, Sheena set down her utensils, saying, “It’s not that I’m afraid. I just
don’t see the point in winning. After all, I won’t lose.”
As soon as she spoke, the entire room buzzed.
This woman… She was way too audacious!
How could she shamelessly say something like that?
Only Howard remained calmly sipping his wine, leaving the audience baffled about his stance on the
matter.
Sheena’s reply was just what Erin wanted, and she felt triumphant as she turned her gaze toward the
equally stunned Brandon.
“Master Brandon, she clearly doesn’t regard you highly. If you can’t even defeat her, how will you hold
your ground in the martial arts community?” Erin said with a touch of smugness. Brandon grew
somewhat irritated. “Miss, if you’re so confident, why not have a friendly match? Since you’re still a
young lady, it wouldn’t be honorable for me to win against you. So, I’ll only defend and won’t attack.
You’ll have ten moves, and if you manage to beat me within those ten moves, you win.”
The statement was perfectly balanced–showing strength while maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor.
Implicitly, it meant that they must compete.
If Sheena declined again, people would label her as arrogant, inept, and foolish, tarnishing Howard’s
reputation as well.
All eyes in the room.
in the room were fixed on Sheena, eager to witness the spectacle.
Facing the gazes, Sheena gracefully rose from her seat and smiled. “Since Master Brandon has
spoken, I’ll grant you this favor. However, there’s no need for ten moves. I wouldn’t take pride in
winning either.”
Draped in a deep red satin gown, with her exquisitely beautiful and arrogant face, Sheena exuded an
aura of both fierceness and elegance, making it nearly impossible for anyone to look away.

However, Hamah, concerned for her well–being, stepped forward to intervene “if we’re going have a
match, Me Sheena’s attire is inappropriate Perhaps everyone should enjoy
that performances for now. We can wait for Ms Sheena to change into suitable clothing before
proceeding”
The guests voiced no objections, and Hannah quickly signaled the servants.
Sheena did not decline, allowing the servants to lead her out of the banquet hall.
Erin looked at her serene demeanor and started to worry.
“Beth, did you see the look on her face? She doesn’t really think she can beat Brandon, does she?
Plus, none of the professional fighters we sent last time came back. What if…”
Bethany said confidently, “No what ifs. Those fighters last time might have had decent skills, but
compared to Brandon, they were far inferior. She’s only in her twenties, and even if she has a martial
arts background, she can’t possibly surpass Brandon. Just wait and see.”
“But what if he goes easy on her?”
“Rest assured.” Bethany smirked, leaning close to Erin’s ear, and continued, “There’s nothing in this
world that money can’t solve. I’ve already arranged for someone to bribe Brandon. He’ll pretend to
accidentally injure her. Since this event is hosted by the Moore family, there’s no way it could reflect
poorly on us, no matter what!”
