The middle seat for the judges was still empty. Apparently, it was specially reserved for Spencer, the Palace Chief of the Herb Palace.
At that moment, the open area beneath the arena was already flooded with excited spectators. However, there were only a few rows of seating prepared at the front. Those standing behind were cramped in the limited space like a pack of sardines.
Jesse walked up to Jared and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Chance, this way, please!”
Since Jared and the others attended the occasion as visitors, they did not have any seats in the front row. Nevertheless, Jesse led them to the front and arranged for them to be seated in the row reserved for those from Extreme Fist Gym.
Shortly after Jared, Josephine, and Lizbeth were seated at the front, Lionel led his disciples and stood behind them.
The others were flabbergasted. They could not fathom why the head of Extreme Fist Gym would let a few young ones take their seats and even stand respectfully behind them. They could not help but wonder about
Jared's identity. Soon, martial artists from Jazona and Summerbank managed to recognize him at once. No doubt, they had the answer as to why Lionel willingly gave up his seat forJared.
“Lionel Cohen, I wonder if there’s a new head for Extreme Fist Gym. I've never seen this young man who takes your seat before!” a bald man seated next to the row for Extreme Fist Gym mocked with sheer disdain on his face.
“Rocky, keep your mouth shut! I'll let my disciples teach you a lesson on the arena later—Just you wait!” Lionel snarled at him.
“Hahaha! Now that all of you from Extreme Fist Gym have downgraded and become others' lackeys, how could you still have the audacity to say this?” Rocky guffawed, causing the others to laugh contemptuously at Lionel as well.
Everyone guessed there must be a reason for such a high-ranked person like Lionel to let a young man take his seat and even stand behind him. Perhaps, the mysterious young man was backing Extreme Fist Gym up.
Right that instant, Jared turned to shoot Rocky a frigid glance. The utter frigidness in his eyes sent an instant shiver down Rocky’s spine, and his smile froze on his face.
