Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1719

Under the top trending topic, the Koryons, Nipponorans, and Thyanians who had joined the bet became even more arrogant.

[The great Koryon Empire demands that when the Zhinorians livestream their apology, they must admit to the whole world that they are culture thieves! That their traditional culture was plagiarized from us! Even their greatest historical poets belonged to our empire first!]

[The great Nipponoran Empire demands that when the Zhinorians livestream their apology, they must kneel and bow their heads in submission!]

[The great Thyanian Kingdom demands that when the Zhinorians livestream their apology, they must admit that the Zhinorian Martial King, Jake Warner, was trash! He didn’t dare come to Thyania to issue a challenge back then because he was afraid of us!]

The Zhinorian netizens were about to explode with anger, but they didn’t know how to refute them.

Any discerning person could see that the Zhinorian fighters had been victims of foul play. With their stomachs in such a bad state, there was no way they could compete properly.

But those people chose to turn a blind eye, insisting that they were just pretending.

If they didn't compete, they would be criticized even more harshly. They would be called cowards who didn’t dare to fight.

Either way, they were the ones who got blamed.

***

Inside the arena.

Amidst the chorus of broken chants of ‘Zhinora trash,’ number 44 walked up to number 106 again.

He planted his foot on the struggling fighter and spoke to the camera.

“Zhinorian fighters have never been our match. Their Martial King, Jake Warner, didn’t dare come to Thyania back then because he knew our strength. He was scared!”

“For all these years, Zhinorian fighters have been unwilling to accept this fact, secretly competing with us.”

“Now the truth is right in front of you. Zhinorian fighters are nothing but trash in front of us Thyanian fighters!”

“Zhinora is trash! Jake Warner is trash!”

The arena erupted once more into frenzied chants. “Zhinora is trash! Jake Warner is trash!”

In the corner, Evan was seething.

He clenched his fists, his breathing grew rapid, and his vision swam with red, his chest heaving with a cold, simmering fury.

Even White, who had been sleeping, sensed his fury, opening his eyes to look at him cautiously.

Evan gritted his teeth and started to move forward, but Elliot grabbed his wrist and reminded him again, “Safety first! Follow the rules!”

Evan nodded, his eyes still red, and said in a hoarse voice, “I know!”

Only then did Elliot let go, and Evan strode forward.

On the stage, number 106 had already lost consciousness. The referee announced, “Number 106 is unconscious. Number 44 wins!”

The crowd cheered wildly. The old men from the Thyanian Martial Arts Association exchanged satisfied glances, smiling broadly.

Suddenly—

A small figure leaped onto the stage!

“I am the number 9 Zhinorian fighter who qualified directly for the semi-finals, and I challenge number 44!”

The Thyanian old-timers were stunned.

They quickly rubbed their eyes, and upon confirming that it was indeed the young Mr. Gage they feared, they were dumbfounded.

“Didn’t… didn’t he die?”

The grieving Zhinorian elders’ eyes lit up.

They also rubbed their eyes, confirmed it was the little guy, and slapped their thighs.

“Oh my god, isn’t that our incredible prodigy? He’s alive!”

The ordinary spectators and fighters in the audience were also bewildered.

“…Didn’t number 9 withdraw from the competition? Why did he suddenly reappear?”

Netizens were just as confused.
