629 Chapter 628

King immediately lunged forward.

James’s agility allowed him to pull back and wear King down, making him breathe heavily. However, James wasn’t in a great position either. King’s muscles were incredibly solid. Even when James found a weak spot and threw a punch, it felt like he was barely making an impact.

To beat King, one needed to be either extremely nimble to disorient him or stronger than him. The more James fought, the more excited he became, even thinking he might win if Luke didn’t enter the ring.

At that moment, he spotted a flaw in King’s defense and jumped up, grabbing King’s shoulder as if to drag him out of the competition area. Stepping out of the ring would count as a loss!

The spectators around them immediately cheered:

“We’re winning! We’re winning!”

Luke’s eyes widened with excitement.

Keira, however, silently sighed.

Holly asked anxiously, “What happened?”

“We’re losing.”

Keira frowned.

Her brother was too impatient. This move was a weakness King had intentionally shown to lure James in.

If James had stayed calm and not taken the bait, he might have dragged out the fight for another ten minutes, leading to King genuinely running out of energy, which could have secured the win.

But with Luke urging him on, James took more risks, knowing it might be a trap yet still jumping in!

While Keira was considering this, Luke scoffed coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about? Clearly, James has the upper hand! Aren’t you the prominent Inner Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect? Your martial arts seem mediocre at best, and you couldn’t possibly tell that. Maybe you should go home and train for a few more years before coming back!”

Holly was about to retort, but remembering Luke had to fight soon, she swallowed her reply and simply told Keira, “Don’t take his words to heart.”

Keira shook her head slightly.

Luke sneered, “Some people think that just because they’re from the Olsen family, they can get into the Freeman Sect through connections. But your martial arts aren’t impressive at all. You should take the time to learn from the Senior Sister. She’s outstanding, yet here you are, an Inner Sect Disciple, unable to grasp a simple fight. Doesn’t that embarrass you?”

In the next moment, as James grabbed King’s shoulder, King suddenly spun around, grabbed James’s arm in a countermove, and threw him out of the ring!

James was dumbfounded.

Thrown out of the arena by King, James was unable to control his fall.

“Bang!”

He rolled on the ground to absorb the impact, then pushed off with his feet to stand up. “Damn, I’ve been outmaneuvered!”

Everyone exclaimed, “What just happened?”

Luke stared at Keira in disbelief.

Holly was also stunned. “Keera, you actually predicted this correctly!”

Predicted?

Luke thought that if it were just a prediction, no one could be this accurate.

James ran back, looking dejected as he was about to ask something. “I can’t believe I lost. That’s really too bad. Luke, it’s all on you now! King’s energy is at its limit; he can’t hold on much longer!”

Luke nodded.

It was clear to everyone that King was struggling. Desperate to win, he was gasping for breath and half-kneeling in the competition area.

Luke stepped onto the stage. “Let me finish this match!”

But then…

They heard the head of Interpol call out, “Hold on a moment.”

Everyone turned to see the department head smiling. “King needs to replenish his energy.”

He walked into the competition area, took out an energy supplement from his pocket, and handed it to King.

King injected the supplement, and immediately, his fatigue vanished. He was back at peak condition and even seemed… slightly stronger than before!

James, watching from below, was stunned. “What did you give him? A stimulant?”

Interpol’s head handed him the remaining residue. “It’s an energy supplement we developed ourselves. It instantly restores a person’s physical strength and complies with all regulations. It’s not a banned substance. Technology is part of strength. Using an energy supplement isn’t against the rules.”

Indeed, it wasn’t…

Many boxers use food to replenish energy during a match; how could that be against the rules?

James clenched his fists in frustration and glanced at Luke with concern. With King now at peak condition, even if Luke and James teamed up, they’d be lucky to get a draw!

They had already expended considerable energy, and now they had to start over again?!

James sighed, approached Luke, and whispered, “There’s no need to go all out. Just do your best; we still have one more person to rely on.”

Luke, however, had a determined look in his eyes. “I must win this match!”
