Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 154

The system quickly announced the match order. Mia was up first.

She took a deep breath, trying to relax as much as possible. "The sooner I finish, the sooner I can go home and avoid my husband's suspicion. I don't have a good excuse for him yet."

Leo said, "I beg you, finish the fight quickly and try not to get hurt."

Mia nodded. She got up and wet her hands with water to calm herself down, then returned to the ring.

The man across the ring didn't say a word from start to finish. When Mia stepped onto the stage, she looked at his stance and guessed that he had been trained in martial arts since he was a child.

Knuckle was very polite and bowed to each opponent as a sign of respect. But his opponents were all arrogant, no one respected him, the silent one, so his bows were never reciprocated. In response to his respect, she also bowed back, bending 90 degrees at the waist.

Mia's response was a pleasant surprise to Knuckle. He didn't expect the first person to reciprocate his respect to be Mimi. He felt he was about to meet a worthy opponent in martial arts.

Outside the ring, they admired each other. On the stage, they quickly prepared for battle. The clock started ticking. Another fierce battle was about to begin.

Andre arrived at a glass door, which appeared to lead to a large cave with hundreds of seats. The door could not be opened manually, requiring a card swipe. As soon as Andre pressed his fingerprint on the card reader, the door unlocked. He entered the arena.

"Leo, I'm going to the restroom. Keep an eye on Mia. If something goes wrong, surrender immediately. Don't let her fight to the death like she did in the second year of high school," Jade said.

Leo nodded, "I know, if she gets hurt this time, my uncle will demolish this place, and we might be in trouble."

The match on stage was in full swing.

Mia was fighting Knuckle, using all her skills: hand-to-hand combat, distance fighting, boxing. When her first round of attacks missed, she swiftly turned and distanced herself from Knuckle's control.

Knuckle was proficient in jiu-jitsu, with ground fighting being his deadliest skill. If you were on the ground, he was the king. He tried multiple times to throw Mia to the ground, but she was as slippery as an eel, always escaping just as he was about to catch her.

Mia quickly moved behind Knuckle and struck a powerful blow at his knee joint. He fell down, but he grabbed Mia's ankle and threw her to the ground as well.

Mia thought, Crap!

On the ground, she was like a piece of meat in a snake's mouth. Her body was instantly restrained, her neck was pressed down and her face was turning red.

The entire audience's attention was focused on the stage. It was difficult to tell who would win this match.

Mia reacted quickly. Even though she was having difficulty breathing, she quickly made a judgment in the face of danger. She gave up trying to save herself and instead freed one of her hands to punch Knuckle in the temple.

Knuckle groaned in pain and his grip on Mia loosened. She seized the opportunity to launch another attack, aiming a punch at Knuckle's vulnerable neck, and successfully knocked Knuckle off her.

She rolled over, half crouched on the ground, gasping for breath, trying to regulate her breathing.

Time was still ticking away, and there was no clear advantage for either of them.

Jade came out of the bathroom, she had just washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves, passing the glass door on her way to the competition area. Suddenly, she saw a man without makeup on the field.

She was about to warn him when he turned his head and saw her. He noticed her because she was wearing the same top as his wife. Their eyes met. Andre saw the fear in Jade's eyes. Was she afraid of him?

Andre scrutinized her features. She was similar in size to his wife, and they were both wearing high-necked tops, which made Andre subconsciously wonder if this woman could be his wife that he had been looking for. But this girl gave him a completely different feeling. Her hair didn't have the softness he remembered from Mia.

Andre's gaze swept over her and suddenly he noticed a strange scar on Jade's arm. That scar... Memories that had been buried deep in Andre's mind for years suddenly surfaced. He thought of the little girl he had been searching for for fifteen years.

Andre started breathing heavily as he looked again at Jade, who was dressed like a native.
