As if on cue, Master Carlson Barnett also spoke up in outrage. He was the martial arts master who had performed the demonstration with Babur a while earlier.
“You have gravely violated the very purpose of this competition! I’ve already reported your conduct to the National Martial Arts Association and asked them to remove you from the membership List!
From now on, you can forget about the society and just carry on with your thug-like practices!”
“No! You can’t do that!”
Babur burst out in disbelief. He had been living on the funds provided by the association for practically half of his life. If they terminated his membership, no other organization would be willing to accept him in the future.
His entire life would be ruined!
Babur was still reeling from the shock when Jennifer was wheeled onto the stage by her maid.

Just then, Carlson tried to approach Lucinda and shake hands with her, his face still a mask of charmed surprise. He didn’t even get to stand before her, though, as Cyrus immediately stopped Babur.
Nevertheless, Carlson was unfazed. He didn’t even seem embarrassed by this development. Instead, he turned to Lucinda, his eyes brimming with appreciation.
“I must say, your jiu-jitsu technique is one of a kind and quite telling. Are you the only disciple of the renowned master, Benico?”
A collective gasp came from the crowd.
“It’s no wonder that she wasn’t intimidated by Babur at all! So, she is a disciple of the great Benico!”
“Benico only has one disciple, right? That means that Benico has personally taught her those skills. Of course, Babur would lose!”
“That explains why she was so arrogant just now. She has every right to be! She has the skills to back up her attitude!”
