Nathan understood the situation once he heard Kenji's words.
Kenji looked at Nathan's family, then looked towards the direction of the boxing ring. He grinned. "Your family is here to watch the competition too?"
Queenie was young and innocent, so she had assumed that this man really was her father's friend.
She replied brightly, "Uncle. Are you here to see the competition? Are you a fan of Gerald Barkley too?
Kenji chuckled., "Yes, I came to watch the competition. But I'm not a fan of Gerald. I support the Fist King instead."
Queenie was taken aback by his answer. Her innocent mind couldn't grasp why anyone would not support her idol. She blurted out, "Gerald is the best! He will definitely win!"
Kenji smiled wryly and replied, "No. Jafari will beat Gerald to death in the competition. Don't believe me? Just wait
and see."
After saying that, Kenji gave a cold laugh and glanced at Nathan. Then, he turned around and departed with his subordinates. He chose a seat nearby and sat down.
Penny and the others found the man odd.
Penny asked Nathan quietly, “Hubby, doesn't that guy seem to not come with good intentions?"
Nathan answered her calmly, "Don't worry. He won't be able to stir up any trouble."
A short moment later, the competition started.
Penny initially thought that the organizer had bribed the Fist King. Gerald Barkley would surely defeat the Fist King and gain ten consecutive victories.
However, that was not the case. When the whistle blew to indicate the start of the competition, Jafari immediately pressed Gerald to the floor, leaving Penny and the audience dumbfounded.
It had been less than one minute since the competition started!
Jafari hurled a heavy punch at Gerald.
Blood sprayed out of his mouth as he flew several meters away from the boxing ring. Gerald fell with a thud on the floor and went unconscious.
Everyone was shocked.
Queenie's eyes were wide in disbelief. Tears starting filling her eyes.
After Jafari punched Gerald till he was unconscious, he laughed wickedly and sneered at the audience, "National North Army ex-servicemen? An unbeatable fellow? Ridiculously weak!"
