Chapter 147
Six bodyguards were standing side-by-side at the door, blocking the media reporters from entering the elevator.
Queenie wrinkled her nose in displeasure. “You’re gonna ignore me? Fine, then. You think you’re so great?”
In the ring, the host watched as Kai entered the elevator and was worried about what to do when he saw Queenie. He immediately explained, “It looks like Mr. Kai has something urgent to attend to, so this time, the prize will be presented by Miss Queenie, the lady of the wealthiest family in Jonford.”
The spotlight instantly landed on Queenie.
“Shit, what’s going on?”
Queenie was a little dazed.
The boxing center staff stepped forward to explain the situation to Queenie. Only then did she understand the ins and outs of the situation. She smiled and said, “Isn’t it just some award? What’s so difficult about that?!”
She then stepped into the ring while accompanied by a few bodyguards and staff.
When Queenie realized that the winner of the Phoenix Crown was not Black Widow, surprise flashed across her face.
The host smiled and said, “Now, let us give the warmest applause and invite Miss Queenie to present the Phoenix Crown to the winner of the women’s boxing championship, Bianca!”
A blonde woman stepped forward with a tray.
Queenie had seen her brother present awards to the champions before, so she collected herself and then put a smile on her face as she carefully picked up the Phoenix Crown with both hands and walked slowly toward Bianca.
“Women have held lofty ambitions since ancient times. Among the countless heroes in the world, who dares say women are inferior to men? The Dragon Might Boxing Center has hosted the Tiger Crown and Phoenix Crown Championship four times since its establishment. Times change, as does the victor of the Tiger Crown every year, but the Phoenix Crown has always belonged to the female boxing legend, Black Widow. And now, Black Widow is stepping down from her throne while Bianca ascends it like a bright and dazzling new star! Let us once again give a warm applause and congratulate Miss Bianca on becoming the Phoenix Crown Champion for the year 2022!”
The host read out the script as fast as a barrage of bullets.
There was thunderous applause from the audience. At the same time, Queenie put the Phoenix Crown on Bianca’s head.
The Phoenix Crown was made of pure gold and shone brightly under the light. The nine diamonds on it glittered even more.
The staff pushed a trolley containing 500,000 in cash into the ring.
Standing under the spotlight, Bianca slowly raised her gloved hands like an unrivaled goddess of war.
The applause intensified.
Skadi and Hera were also applauded happily.
Nash put his hands in his pockets, his expression calm. He could not recall how many times he had witnessed a scene like this.
The Phoenix Crown Championship was just a commercial boxing match held by the Dragon Might Boxing Centre.
Bianca still had a long way to go to become a boxing champion. She would have to go through the municipal, provincial, national, and world championships.
Bianca looked at Nash, hoping to see some encouragement on his face.
She knew very well that she would not have been able to defeat Black Widow if it were not for Nash training her just now.
Nash noticed Bianca’s gaze and did not disappoint her; he smiled and clapped.
Queenie also noticed Nash, who she thought was annoying, and the smile disappeared from her face.
The bastard made her run for so long last night and caused her to lose pounds when she was already thin.
She walked up to Nash angrily and cursed, “You bastard. Who allowed you into my boxing center?”
