At the moment Penny fell, the entire venue was eerily silent for a moment before erupting in an uproar.
"What the hell? Penny was knocked out with just one punch?"
"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it. Penny was one of the five most favored contenders in this boxing match. How could she be taken down so easily?"
"Didn’t Jenson get knocked out with one punch as well? What’s so unbelievable about that?"
While people discussed fervently, Kyle Keaton remained unusually calm, even sipping on the hot tea provided to him at the scene.
Earlier, he didn’t want July Quinn to participate in this competition because he was afraid of losing her.
But considering July’s extraordinary speed and strength in the previous two matches, Kyle no longer felt worried.
So when Penny fell, not only did he stop worrying about July, he even wanted to sip tea, refresh himself, and calmly watch who would be the next one to come up and meet their doom.
Just as Kyle was watching the match with great interest while sipping his tea, Roman Kidd’s voice suddenly came to his ear.
"Where did July Quinn learn her boxing?"
Kyle turned his head and met Roman’s slightly curved, captivating eyes.
In those eyes, there was a hidden curiosity about July.
Also, there was a sense of familiarity, like he had seen that look somewhere before but couldn’t recall where.
Kyle squinted slightly, confronting Roman for a moment before saying, "I don’t know."
July’s past was shrouded in layers of mystery.
Kyle had investigated multiple times, all to no avail.
Of course, even if he knew, Kyle wouldn’t want to tell Roman.
"You don’t know either?"
Roman also squinted, seemingly probing whether Kyle really didn’t know or if he was deliberately throwing a smokescreen.
But after a moment, he put away his inquisitive look, "I’m planning to invite July Quinn to join the Inferno Team. Lord Keaton would let her go, right?"
Kyle’s expression darkened slightly.
The Inferno Team was founded by Roman, possessing absolute oversight and recruitment authority nationwide.
Meaning, as long as the Inferno Team targeted a warrior, as long as that warrior agreed, the team had to let them go.
Yet Roman was using this to question him, Kyle Keaton, clearly with ulterior motives.
So, Kyle didn’t answer as usual but instead—
"That depends on whether you have the capability to make her go with you."
Kyle emanated authority. The source of thɪs content is Nove1Fire.net
"Then let’s wait and see!"
Roman also immediately sensed the shift in Kyle’s tone.
But more than anything, he didn’t understand why he felt compelled to provoke Kyle — was it just to add a talented member to the Inferno Team?
While Roman was pondering this, July Quinn defeated her fourth, fifth... nineteenth opponent with just one punch each.
The people below the stage were in awe.
"Now, no one will doubt July Quinn’s abilities, right? This woman is practically a devil; so many top-tier boxing champions have been taken down by her with one punch!"
"I suspect she’s the ultimate glitch among humans, and I have evidence."
Even Bianca White and Wendy Tierney, who were previously very skeptical of July’s abilities, now looked quite grim.
At first, they firmly believed that July had just gotten ridiculously lucky, faced opponents at the onset of illnesses, and could be bribed by her.
But as more robust opponents, whom they knew couldn’t possibly be bought off by July, were all knocked out by her with one punch, they had to acknowledge July’s existence as a human glitch.
In the blink of an eye, July’s twentieth opponent, also the final opponent of this match, took the stage...
