Chapter 123

President Ma walked over and acted as though he was on friendly terms with everyone on site . He displayed his most handsome side of him as he stood before Milami . “Aiya . Mi Mi, I can understand if you didn’t show up today, but since your younger cousin is coming over how could I not extend a hand of friendship as one of the hosts? It would have been discourteous!”

Mi Mi…

Sharmie suspiciously glanced at her elder cousin .

Right now, Milami was blushing slightly, making it appear as though she was indeed in a relationship with Ma Dong . The truth of the matter was that she was just a bit embarrassed as she had not intended for a meetup between her cousin and Ma Dong . Since she hadn’t let Ma Dong come, she felt more than a little guilty .

This was one of the weaknesses of someone who had yet to be in a relationship . Such a weakness was easily exploited by Ma Dong . With this, he could not only confirm their relationship, but also fulfill his dream of getting closer the Ball Queen in order to observe her more intently . This was killing two birds with one stone…

“This is the president of the Prodigy Society, Ma Dong . He is also my boy… friend . ” Milami was still too kindhearted and honest . Under these circumstances, she felt that she shouldn’t deny their relationship lest she embarrass Ma Dong .

When they heard her words, Emily and the other Tianjing students rolled their eyes . Sigh, Milami was really too honest and good . She shouldn’t care about this fellow with skin as thick as a city wall…

“Captain Sharmie, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a very long time . Let me formally introduce myself . I am the Assassin’s Ma Dong, the Prodigy Society’s President, as well as Mi Mi’s boyfriend!” Ma Dong said with a smile as he extended his hand . The smile on his face seemed extremely radiant, but his nervousness was evident in his trembling hands . Oh god, my dream is right before my very eyes!

In contrast, the gazes of the Flame Artillery Squadron members exuded indifference . This brat is looking for death… However, the thought of the other party’s status held their hand . After all, their captain would be the one to settle all accounts at an opportune moment .

While outside, it was still best for them to remain well-behaved . A girl’s heart was akin to the clouds during autumn . Even after experiencing hundreds and thousands of blazing attacks, these members were still unable to fully understand how their captain thought and felt .

Sharmie didn’t extend her own hand and instead continued to scrutinise Ma Dong . At the beginning, when she’d expressed her desire for her elder cousin to join her at Flame City, she was met with a flatout refusal . This made Sharmie feel as though there were something suspicious going on . Upon arriving here, she was able to ascertain the reason for her refusal after having a few words with her older cousin .

Apparently, there was a male student named Ma Dong who was chasing after her . Whenever the topic of Ma Dong came up, her elder cousin would always deny the presence of a relationship between them but her blush that always came up whenever she talked about him revealed the truth . As such, Sharmie noted in her heart that she would take a look at this student named Ma Dong and judge if he was suitable for her pure elder cousin . If Ma Dong hadn’t arrived today,she would’ve found an excuse to pay him a visit at the Prodigy Society .

Yes, he said he was from the Assassin Clan so he could be considered a good match for Milami, but… this fellow seemed a bit too perverted . She felt that she needed to observe a bit more to better understand him .

Compared to her elder sister, Sharmie was much more sensitive in these aspects .

Seeing that Sharmie had no inclination to shaking his hand, Ma Dong promptly moved it to rub his nose . Ball Queen… isn’t a person easy to deal with . Her gaze seems to indicate that she’d seen through his intentions .

Sharmie smiled and said, “So you’re Ma Dong, right? You’re my elder cousin’s first boyfriend so I’ll be paying special attention to you . ”

When the members of her squadron heard her say those words, they immediately felt relieved . This Ma Dong truly didn’t understand their captain . Once locked within her sights, one had to be exceptionally careful . If Ma Dong dared to let Milami down, then their captain wouldn’t hesitate to turn him into roast meat .

Ma Dong felt a shiver run through his body at her words . As a member of the Assassin Clan, he felt the threat behind her gaze acutely . It seemed this Ball Queen wasn’t as naive as she appeared inside the OP .

“The first, and definitely the last!” Ma Dong replied joyously . He turned and gave Milami a hidden wink . It was best to try and maintain his proper attitude and righteous face .

Smiling, Scarlet began introducing the other members of the Prodigy Society to the Flame Artillery Squadron . The members, however, didn’t seem to care much about this . There wasn’t any worth in paying attention to a weak squadron of a weak city . Still, it was important to give Milami some face .

Once everyone took their seats, the main focus of everyone’s discussions quickly turned toward the CHF . Scarlet wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire more information and get updated on the latest ongoings in the CHF . After all, everyone here was from the Flame City, one of the top ten teams . One who is ranked one of the top few would obviously be placed on an entirely different level from the other teams . The news and information they held in their hands would also be more detailed .

“This year’s CHF will be much harder . ” Sharmie had no need to hold back any information from them . After all, this had been one of the reasons why she’d come here . She didn’t want her elder cousin to perform too badly . “Various great clans are intending to hold no bars and will sent out a couple their experts, especially the Five Great Clans . It seems that they have all engaged in a private bet to see who will win the upcoming CHF . ”

“This competition will be the harshest one in the last couple of decades . Other than the traditional powerhouses, there will also be several small cities participating that cannot be underestimated . Many of these cities have obtained quite a bit of benefits from their collaborations with the empires, especially those cities that adopted immigration policies . ”

“You mean those foreign soldiers that have become citizens?” asked Scarlet, surprised . “Are they also joining the competition?”

“It isn’t impossible . After gaining the Federation’s approval, they could be considered as a part of the Federation . Being allowed to enter the Federation means that their strength should be well above the average . This is particularly true for 1 v . 1 fights . As such, the black horses in this year’s competition will be extremely tyrannical . ”

“Don’t those barbarians rely on instincts to fight? How can they compare with our tactics and strategies?” A member of Black Rose had asked this, a hint of curiosity evident in her voice .

Sharmie smiled upon hearing those words . However, she was too lazy to reply and Mario was instead the one to reply . His madam captain was sometimes a bit too hard-willed .

Within the Flame Artillery Squadron, Mario was seen as the nanny of the group . He was able to work both in the main hall and the kitchen . Sharmie was smart, but as a junior of an aristocratic clan she was a bit lazy and sly . Mario was the one who took control over everything and provided everyone with an explanation .

“Speaking of which, to what level of standard is Laura of Copperfield Academy?” Ma Dong couldn’t hold back his curiosity any longer . Having heard the rumors, he had crafted this test to see how Sharmie would grade Laura .

Sharmie, deciding to give a little face to her future brother-in-law . “Copperfield Academy is one of the traditional powerhouses . In the previous great competition, they had entered the top eight . Of course, this was during the Molton Potter era . Currently, Laura is stronger than him . With her Potter Clan wrestling techniques, as well as her soul beast, she is better in every aspect . Perhaps they will have the strength to contend for the Top 8 rankings once more . ”

Everyone gawked upon hearing her reply . They knew of the ‘grudges and grievances’ between the two and never imagined that Sharmie would hold Laura to such high regards . It seemed rumors couldn’t be relied upon .

Wang Zhong, on the other hand, felt this was very normal . If she didn’t think highly of Laura, she would not have engaged in a fight with her .

Mario did not dare express his thoughts on his captain’s interactions with the Beast Lady during the conversation . It was frightening to dwell too deeply into the matter, so he hurriedly changed the topic . “Other than those traditional powerhouses, there are also quite a few strong academies sprouting up . For example, there is Brooks’ Bierlia Musical Soul Academy . Their performance in the last regional competition had been exceptionally breathtaking, and the use of Hurricane Eight Blade Stream in the OP fight was quite astonishing . Academies possessing such level of talent should be paid more attention in the competition at the end of the year . ”

Mario was exceptionally entertaining as he spoke, and he loved the feeling of having so many beauties holding on to his every word . After introducing these few talents, even Scarlet and Milami were absorbed with what he had said . All of this made Ma Dong feel extremely displeased .

“Don’t you find that these people mentioned by Vice-captain Mario had all been defeated by All-Mouthy King?” Ma Dong questioned the others with curiosity .
