Colin took a picture of Oreste in the ring with his phone discreetly and sent it to the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor back in Eurasia. He then ordered Sage to investigate Oreste's background in the shortest time possible.
Without further delay, Sage ordered the intelligence department of the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor to begin the investigation.
A few minutes later, they discovered who Oreste was.
According to the report, Oreste Legato was a student studying abroad who majored in sports.
Oreste was born into a poor family.
The Legato family was financially strapped as they had to send him overseas to continue his studies.
Despite being a student, Oreste would work part-time during his spare time to make more money to support his family.
He often worked as an assistant trainer at the gym or as a sparring partner for the boxers.
As a result, his face was often covered in bruises from the fights, and he was only paid a little for it.
It was highly possible that someone had tricked him into coming and fighting in the ring.
The person must've given Oreste a huge sum of money and asked him to fight against Rock in the ring, even claiming he was a King of Warriors from Eurasia.
Holding his phone, Colin quickly read the report sent by Sage.
He then pocketed his phone and inched nearer to Nathan. “President Cross, Oreste Legato's identity has been confirmed. He's a sports student from Eurasia studying abroad. He isn't a King of Warriors from the special forces. The organizer of the match must've deliberately claimed that he was one to attract attention.”
Hearing that, Nathan furrowed his brows. Oreste isn't a capable soldier. He's just a rookie. However, the Molten Giant, Rock, is a powerful fighter! Oreste is going to suffer a horrible defeat.
While Nathan was worried about Oreste, the match was about to begin in the ring.
The pretty host beamed and announced, “Rock, Oreste, our president, Mr. Bryon, and the President of Eurasia, Mr. Nathan Cross, are here to witness your fight. Do your best and make them proud!”
Hearing that, Rock turned to the VIP seating area and raised his muscular right arm to salute Byron.
On the other hand, Oreste was flabbergasted when he learned that Nathan was here to watch his match.
Panic flashed across his eyes as he started regretting his decision.
It turned out that the organizer had paid him one hundred thousand in Ariarican currency to participate in a rigged match.
They had also promised that he wouldn't have to risk his life.
One hundred thousand in Ariarican currency could be converted to a few hundred thousand in Eurasian currency.
This deal would allow Oreste to earn his daily expenses for the next few years and reduce his family's stress in one go.
Thus, he agreed to take up the organizer's offer.
Even if he got hurt and suffered physical injuries, it was worth it as he wouldn't have to worry about his daily expenses for the next few years.
