Chapter 157
Craig looked at Lea. “Why don’t I…” He didn’t finish his sentence about bringing Yannis back.
Lea shook her head. “He won’t die.”
Yannis had already died once. He would not risk his life. And from the wounds on his body, Lea could tell that the spots where Yannis took the blows from his opponents were not fatal.
Furthermore, Yannis looked calm and at peace. He didn’t want to win the match. He just wanted to be beaten up. He wanted to improve his resilience.
Lea knew the human body very well. This was the first time she had seen someone so resilient.
Shannon was surprised. “Then, what are we doing about him?”
Craig also frowned. He sensed something but was not as clear about it as Lea.
In the ring, Yannis turned and looked in their direction. He couldn’t see with one eye and couldn’t see clearly with the other. He could only see blurry figures.
But Lea’s figure was so striking. Yannis knew it was them.
Yannis turned around.
The judge nodded at Yannis with tears in his eyes. He took a step back and made a start gesture.
The heart of Yannis’s opponent turned cold. He had just entered the arena and was almost not hit. Yannis had already lost the strength to fight back in the last few rounds and was only being beaten up. However, the opponent’s heart felt heavy.
The opponent had already watched dozens of matches below the stage. If he wanted to end it, he could only admit defeat or kill Yannis. Otherwise, Yannis would still stand up and the match would continue.
However, it was not worth it to kill someone in such a match. The opponent didn’t want to kill Yannis either.
Gritting his teeth, the opponent took his starting position. He could only brace himself and fight
оп.
“I’m not fighting anymore,” Yannis suddenly said.
Just as Lea had thought, Yannis had come to train his resistance. He had lasted long enough. He was done for the day.
The other boxer and referee almost stumbled. They thought, “Why did you get up then? Why don’t
you just lie on the ground and admit defeat?‘

At the
me time, they heaved a sigh of relief. The other boxer grinned. If he hadn’t been in the spotlight, he would have laughed.
The audience was also stunned. Then, they started whispering among themselves. They were not displeased by Yannis’s withdrawal. On the contrary, everyone heaved a sigh of relief for him. None of them wanted him to be injured.
“Take part in the boxing competition. You might be the next boxing champion,” a voice suggested loudly.
There were already many of Yannis’s fans below the stage calling out to him. “Will you be participating? We’ll buy tickets to your match.”
Some people came back to their senses as if they had been in a dream.
“I don’t want to watch anymore. It’s like watching a replay. It’s so boring, someone said.
“Let’s leave,” another added.
The crowd was also tired. Their voices were hoarse and they were thirsty. They dispersed quickly.
Craig immediately ran to the boxing ring to help Yannis.
Yannis staggered down the stage. He felt increasingly exhausted with every step he took. When he reached the edge of the stage and was about to go down the steps, his legs went limp and he fell.
Craig, who had rushed over, immediately helped Yannis. When Yannis fell on him, it felt like he was being crushed by a boulder. He even took a hit to his mouth.
“Lad, if you dare to faint, I’ll leave you here,” Craig warned. If Yannis fainted, he wouldn’t be able to carry him.
Yannis was at a loss of words. Still, he was an athlete. His strength was several times that of an ordinary person. He barely supported himself and headed out.
Shannon couldn’t stand it anymore and helped Yannis.
They exited the boxing arena through the inner passageway and got into the car.
After throwing Yannis into the car, Shannon immediately handed him a bottle of water. Yanis gulped it down in one go and leaned against the back of the seat. It was unknown if he had fainted or fallen asleep.
“Hold–on, lad!” A few men in suits and briefcases, who looked like boxer managers, chased after them, panting.
They had long taken a fancy to Yannis’s talent and strength. Yannis had the potential to be the boxing champion and become the most promising and valuable existence in the boxing world.
However, they were all upstairs or observing in the observation room just now. Yannis and the others had left too quickly. They hadn’t been able to stop them in time, and now they were coming
after them.
“Let’s
1. go.
Lose them,” Lea ordered Craig.
The managers did not understand Yannis’s situation, and Yannis was currently not in the condition to talk to the managers. He did not seem to want to interact with them either.
Craig understood and slammed the door with a bang. He quickly drove away. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
There were cars parked all around them, and the road conditions were very bad. Their car drove out recklessly and only accelerated when it hit the highway, shaking off the people chasing
them.

When Yannis woke up, it was already the next morning. The dim light of dawn shone in through the glass windows of the hotel. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lea leaning against the window.
Lea’s figure looked tall and solemn in the light, exuding a uniquely calm temperament.
“M–Miss Berry?” Yannis asked.
Lea grunted in acknowledgment.
Yannis moved. His muscles and bones were in so much pain that he was trembling. If not for the fact that he was already used to this kind of pain, he would not have dared to move at all.
Yannis sat up with difficulty. By then, he was already covered in cold sweat.
Yannis’s eyes were covered with gauze, and his arms and legs were bandaged. The scent of medicine on him was very strong. Craig had hired an outstanding doctor to bandage him.
Yannis looked at the calm Lea who was younger than him and thought for a moment before saying, “My father was Joshua Sanders, the world boxing champion.”
Lea looked up with surprise in her eyes.
“Three years ago, my father won the World Boxing Championship. On the way back, he got into a car accident. He was in the car with Mum, my brother, and a driver. All four of them died on the spot.” Yannis choked a few times before he could finish.
Yannis’s eyes were downcast. His long eyelashes almost covered his eyes. His voice was hoarse and torn, and his body shook. There was no telling if he was too agitated or if his injuries were too
painful.
Lea looked at Yannis. A dark look flashed across her eyes.
This was the age of information. Anything that attracted any attention would spread online.
Moreover, that was a well–known boxing championship. Joshua was a world–famous boxing champion, and the only boxing champion from Aetheris.
Joshua had participated in a total of ten world boxing championships. The worst result he had was being in the top three. He had won five championships and was the first consecutive champion five
times in a row.
Joshua was a legend in boxing history and held multiple records. His statue stood in the North Amyrllis Boxing Hall of Fame. The book based on Joshua was a best–seller worldwide. The box office of his movie was booming, and it continued to dominate the charts domestically and internationally.
Therefore, news related to Joshua would draw the attention of the world.
Three years ago, after Joshua won the championship, he was on his way back with his wife and son when he got into a car accident and died instantly.
The news shocked the world. Everyone knew about it.
Lea searched her mind and quickly found some impression of it. She looked at the young Yannis in front of her and understood what had happened to him.
Lea listened in silence.
After pondering for a while, Yannis continued, “The cause of the accident was drunk driving. Ther driver was my uncle. He was allergic to alcohol. He fainted when he drank, so he never did.”
Yannis’s words already showed that there was more to the car accident.
Yannis parted his lips before biting his lower lip hard.
Besides that, Yannis had also investigated some things in the last few years. Although he only found some clues, it was enough to show that there was another reason for his father’s death, as well as his mother’s and brother’s death.
Lea already got an answer from Yannis’s silence. Seeing he had nothing more to say, she said, “So, you want to be a boxing champion and enter that circle to find the truth to take revenge?”
Yannis’s head snapped up and he looked at Lea in surprise. He was a simple–minded person and was not shrewd. He did not know how to hide his thoughts.
However, when it came to marriage, Yannis did have some thoughts.
B
But Lea saw through Yannis just like that. She was indeed a very smart and powerful person.
From Lea’s gaze, Yannis could sense that he could tell her these secrets without worry. It was also. necessary for him to tell her.
After all, Lea had brought Yannis to Iverton. She was handing over her safety to him. He had to be responsible for her.
Yannis’s thoughts were simple. It was too easy to tell what he was thinking. Lea naturally knew why he told her all that.
Lea looked at Yannis, her expression gentle and determined. In her heart, she supported him. She thought, ‘No wonder I saved him in Lorrand’s clinic. With my temperament at that time, I wouldn’t want to meddle in other people’s business.
It turned out that Yannis, Lorrand, and Lea were all the same. They carried a blood feud and had survived in the most desperate of situations.
Although theirs could not be compared to Lea, they were the same kind of people.
