“In that case, what about us, General Jackson? This time, there are team events. If Mr. Chance really is no match for Ichiro, then when it comes to the team event, we... we'll...” Shane did not have the courage to finish the sentence, but everyone knew what he meant to say.
If Jared were to lose against Ichiro, the Department of Justice of Jadeborough would have no support when it was time for the team event. By then, injury and mortality rates would be off the charts.
Ichiro had always been ultra brutal against the fighters from Chanaea and showed no mercy. That was one of the reasons the martial arts world of Chanaea had been stirred up six years ago and why so many people tried to kill him.
Theodore was stuck between a rock and a hard place, no longer knowing what to do. He could not bring himself to bet on all the lives of the Department of Justice that Jared would win. He did not have the courage to do so.
But if he were to admit defeat and pull out, both he and the entire Department of Justice of Jadeborough would be the butt of the joke. In fact, it was very likely for the Department of Justice to be abolished.
“General Jackson, I will give my all to fight this fight. Unless I die, or I will not let Ichiro leave alive.”
Just then, Jared entered and made his way toward them.
“Mr. Chance...” Theodore immediately went up to greet him. “Ichiro was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster six years ago. Back then, it was five against one, and we still lost. Furthermore, this time, Ichiro had just returned from his solitary training. His skills are surely stronger than ever before...” “General Jackson, if you have faith in me, you need not say another word!” After saying that, Jared turned to those of the Department of Justice and eyed them one by one. “Do you believe in me? If you do, then join me in the competition and redeem ourselves from the defeat six years ago!”
Whoosh!
Everyone from the Department of Justice stood up with a firm gaze. “We believe in you, Mr. Chance, and we will willingly follow you into battle.”
Just like that, the whole Department of Justice reignited its fighting spirit. At the sight of the members being reinvigorated and high in spirit, Theodore and Jared shared a smile.
Besides evaluating the skills of the fighter, the competition also tested the spirit and willpower of the competitors. The sudden addition of a team event was an initiative by Jetroina. They had assumed that the overall power of the Department of Justice of Chanaea was weak. Hence, they wanted to use that opportunity to obliterate the Department of Justice.
