Chapter 813: A Farce
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In fact, Zhao Yu had never really planned to fight seriously with Sangrove at all! Although he was arrogant and unprincipled, Zhao Yu was certainly no fool, and after seeing Sangrove’s performance during the day, he knew clearly that he was no match for him!
As Miao Ying had said, there was an unbelievably huge gap between professionals and amateur fighters. As for Zhao Yu, he couldn’t even play the role of Sangrove’s training pal!
Therefore, after seeing that Miao Ying’s father had really arranged a fierce fight for him with Sangrove, Zhao Yu had no alternatives but to employ such an alternative approach.
At first, Zhao Yu had appreciated the opportunity to fight with a really great fighter. After all, he had many powerful devices to make use of!
However, after he thought for a while about it, he decided that using his devices in public was not such a good idea. This was because he had imagined the scenes of him using the Invisible Aircraft, the Invisible Spring Launcher, the Invisible Odor Bomb or the Invisible Cloak, any of which would surely expose him!
Also, the Power Jamming Device had already been used once today, and if he reused it, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, he had only one device to use in this competition, which was the Invisible Energy Booster.
However, in an event like UFC, it wasn’t just strength that determined which fighters would win. Thus, he couldn’t be sure that he could win with it alone. So, after careful consideration, Zhao Yu had adopted this somewhat strange strategy.
Even before the fight, Zhao Yu had already familiarized himself with Sangrove’s usual routine, so Zhao Yu was sure that he would turn his back to him just to spite him at the beginning of the match. So, Zhao Yu used the Invisible Energy Booster in advance, then attacked his opponent with a heavy punch, successfully catching him off guard!
Zhao Yu had used his full strength, so that, coupled with the Invisible Energy Booster’s effect, allowed his punch to have a great impact, hitting Sangrove so hard that he instantly fell to the ground! Then, Zhao Yu took advantage of his momentary stupor and squatted down, then continued to beat the international champion!
“Hey!” Upon seeing Zhao Yu’s antics, the referee shouted at Zhao Yu as he hurried forward and pulled Zhao Yu off of Sangrove.
He then scolded Zhao Yuloudly, “Don’t you understand the rules? The fight hasn’t even started yet! How could you attack him like that?”
“Um… What? Was I too soon?” Zhao Yu looked at the referee with a pitiful look, while immediately starting to feign innocence. “Sorry… I guess I was too nervous just now! I thought the fight began as soon as he turned around!”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Yu quickly stooped down to help Sangrove stand up, then said, “I am so sorry! Sangrove, hurry up… Let’s try this again. Hello… Get up…”
At this moment, Sangrove, who was still on the ground, could only groan in pain. He touched the back of his head with one hand, while he tried to get up. However, Zhao Yu’s punch was so fierce that, even though he struggled to get up, after trying twice, he fell back to the ground, having completely fainted!
The referee rushed forward to check on him, then shook his head helplessly to confirm that Sangrove could no longer fight. This unexpected turn of events caused the whole hall to become instantly silent, as everyone was stunned.
…
Crack.
On the stand, Miao Kun was so shocked that he dropped his glass. The red wine immediately spilled on his precious trousers.
“It’s impossible! No way!” Miao Kun couldn’t believe what he had just seen. “How could this happen? Zhao Yu… Little shameless b*stard!”
He kicked the red wine glass off of the stand and roared angrily, “Sangrove is totally unworthy of his title! After all, it was just a single punch! How come he was knocked down?”
The housekeeper quickly asked, “Well… Sir… Then, what should we do?”
Miao Kun grit his teeth as he said, “Go and call the Israeli, then tell the host that Essien the Beast has recovered from his sudden illness. That way, he can fight Zhao Yu!”
Just as the housekeeper was about to leave, Miao Kun urged him, “Tell him to be careful at the beginning of the fight…”
The housekeeper nodded, then hurried away. It turned out that the Essien’s illness was fake! Miao Kun had just made it up in order to arrange Zhao Yu’s fight with Sangrove!
At this moment, the hall was in an uproar. People couldn’t believe what they had just seen.
No one expected that the fight would end up in this way. Soon, some of the people started quarreled about the bets, saying that since the fight had not even technically started, their bets should be rendered null and void.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu was busy showing off his acting skills. He anxiously asked about Sangrove’s condition, and even offered to do CPR on Sangrove to wake him up. Sangrove’s staff was so angry that they almost threw a stool at him!
Outside the cage, Miao Ying, Ran Tao, and Zeng Ke stared at Zhao Yu. All of them remained silent for several minutes. Ran Tao was especially stunned by what had just occurred, as his chin had almost fallen to the ground!
After a while, Miao Ying wiped the sweat off of her forehead with the white towel that she had prepared for Zhao Yu. All the while, she was thinking… He is such a bastar*! But, why am I so happy that he won? Am I a psycho?
“Ladies and gentlemen, please take care of your bets!” At this time, the host came back to the stage and said, “We have been informed that Essien the beast has recovered. He will now replace Sangrove and fight Zhao Yu! A super duel will take place soon, so cheer up!”
After hearing this, the audience became excited once again, as they were really looking forward to another wonderful match!
After hearing the host’s announcement, Ran Tao stared at Zhao Yu up on the stage, then nodded and said, “That’s exactly what our boss meant to have happen!”
Crack!
Miao Ying suddenly stomped her foot and shouted, “This is all too much!”
Before that moment, Miao Ying might have had some doubts about the validity of Zhao Yu’s confession, but once she heard that Essien had been slated to replace Sangrove, she understood everything!
All of this had been planned by her father! Even though Zhao Yu had made a mistake, her father had gone too far with his crazy retaliation scheme. It was simply too much!
So, Miao Ying stomped angrily to the stairs and wanted to confront Miao Kun. However, Zhao Yu really did not want Miao Ying to make a scene in public. So, he quickly made a gesture to Ran Tao, asking him to stop Miao Ying.
Since Ran Tao knew the inside story, he ran over and stopped Miao Ying just as she arrived at the stairway to the stand.
As Ran Tao stopped Miao Ying, he asked, “Deputy Leader, where are you headed?”
“This farce is over!” Miao Ying said indignantly. “My father has gone too far this time! I want him to cancel this fight! Zhao Yu is my boyfriend. I can hit him, but no one else can!”
“Wait a minute… ” Seeing that Miao Ying was about to leave, Ran Tao rushed forward to stop her once again and said, “Don’t worry about this, as boss has already made arrangements for the outcome! Basically, this fight is already over!”
“What” Miao Ying was puzzled.
Ran Tao then explained, “Didn’t you notice that Wu Xiumin and Cui Lizhu are not with us?”
“Eh?” Miao Ying frowned.
At this time, the host held up the microphone and spoke again, “Ladies and gentleman, I’m so sorry to announce that Essien’s illness has returned. So, we have to cancel the fight…”
