StartNovelChapter 1829
Alex hissed, "And you too. Zachary Fischer, right? This is only the first round of the examination, and the road
ahead won't be smooth!"
The threat in his words was loud and clear.
Zachary snapped, "Mr. Wallace, I've done nothing wrong from the very beginning! On the contrary, | was
ambushed by Terry and got hurt. And still, I didn't complain about any of it!"
Alex let out a mocking laugh. "Getting ambushed and injured? That's your
problem, not mine. Your idiot friend just blocked my payday and ruined my plans! Zachary, you're just a nobody,
an outer disciple. I'm telling you now: you're in trouble. And not just any trouble, big trouble!"
With that, he scoffed, clasped his hands behind his back, and strutted away.
Zachary's face was grim. "I can't believe a snake like that is hiding right under Mr. Thornton's nose."
Andrew stayed calm. "Relax. You passed the first round. Now all you need to do is clear the final trial, and you're
practically in."
Zachary still looked uneasy. "But Captain... Mr. Wallace clearly won't let this go. He's no lightweight. He's already
a martial king and one of the most respected elders under Mr. Thornton. Who knew someone like that could be
so disgusting and low? Now that he's set his sights on me, | doubt I'll survive the next round."
Andrew snorted and pulled out his phone again.
Zachary stared in confusion as Andrew opened his gallery and tapped on the deleted items folder.
Then, with just a couple of taps, he restored the supposedly erased video. Zachary's jaw dropped. "No way!
Captain, you could do that?"

don't fully delete stuff right away. As long as it's within the window, recovery's a breeze."
Zachary looked hopeful for a second, but then he slumped again. "What good does it do? Mr. Wallace is definitely
already gunning for me."
Andrew's voice went sharp. "If he's going to play dirty, then we'll play dirtier. Don't worry. I'll make sure that
inner disciple spot is yours no matter what."
That made Zachary finally grin.
If Andrew said he would do something, Zachary believed it with his whole heart.
Andrew then helped patch up the wound on Zachary's shoulder and stopped the bleeding with squick first
aid. After that, the two returned to the sidelines to quietly wait for the first round to finish.
Half an hour later, the dust had settled. Eight fighters were officially announced as winners, moving on to the
next stage.
With Zachary added in, that made nine.
The last candidate was Joseph, the guy who had skipped the first round due to a bye.
Altogether, it was a neat group of ten.
These ten would go through one final elimination. The five remaining would then be taken under Jerome's wing
as inner disciples.
At this point, the trial had reached its most critical moment. Looking at the remaining ten contestants, each was
exceptional with extraordinary talent.
Even Andrew found himself nodding silently. These ten were real martial artists in the making. Their potential
stood out like stars in the dark, though still, only a fraction of Andrew's own level, maybe 0.00001 of it. Sw
In the front row, Scarlett, Henry, Rowan, and Riker all looked serious. Each of them had someone they were
rooting for, and whether those candidates could enter Jerome's inner circle and transform their destinies
depended on this moment.
At the main seat at the far end of the hall, Jerappeared somewhat mentally exhausted.
Alex leaned down and whispered something in his ear, and after Jernodded, Alex cleared his throat and
addressed everyone on both sides of the great hall.
