Second Chances

In another location was a gothic castle surrounded by ivy vines. 

The master of the King’s Association stood in front of a huge screen that was 9.84 feet tall and 16.4 feet long, examining 

Emma’s current situation! 

On the screen, Emma was running extremely fast, looking determined to win 

Wherever she ran past, waves of cheers erupted. 

Blaze was indeed the best and was even better than the master’s strongest subordinate, Dana. 

Unfortunately, these were the proteges that the master had personally trained… 

If they couldn’t be of use to him, he would just show them no mercy… 

The masked man revealed a strange smile under his mask. None of his subordinates behind him dared to breathe loudly. 

“Are the people we previously contacted from Yenovia ready?” 

Yes, Sir, responded one of the subordinates. 

The masked man took a sip of red wine. “How long will it take before I get to watch an exciting scene?” 

-His subordinate said, “The lane Blaze is in, lane 3, is already under our control. Not only is the low pile net ready, but other 

traps have also been prepared for today.” 

This time, what we have planned for Blaze is a complete upgrade compared to the one we used against Bunny back then. It has improved in all aspects. You definitely won’t be disappointed, Sir.” 

“Hahaha!” The masked man let out an evil laugh. 

It was rare for the King’s Association’s master to be in a good mood. 

He listened to the elegant music and lay down on the huge sofa in front of the screen as if he were admiring a work of art. 

‘Soon, I will be able to appreciate and witness the death of this woman up close! 

‘Blaze, this is what you get for betraying me. The masked man sneered inwardly. 

Emma easily passed through several obstacles. 

After half a year of training, she was now able to unleash her strength without holding back. 

In the past, everyone thought that she had poor upper body strength. Getting past obstacles like high walls and trenches was what she was not good at. 

But now, she went past them as if she had become an expert. She did not have any weaknesses at all. 

On the other side, in Rhinea. 

Charon Military School had a big screen broadcasting the competition. Everyone was watching their outstanding classmates, Emma and Erza, in real–time. 

At this moment, the women’s 400 meter steeplechase race was ongoing on the screen. 

Emma’s every move and god–like speed were displayed on the big screen. The students were all shocked. 

In the crowd, one of the girls in a military cap secretly clenched her fists. 

Riley, who had always targeted Emma, had a bitter expression when she saw the race. She had always thought Emma’s performance during the monthly exam was her full strength. 

So all this time, Emma had not fully displayed her true potential Riley thought 

After watching Emma’s performance in the Krot Competition, Riley realized that she had no hope of ever exceeding Emma. 

Riley only watched the race for a few seconds before she turned around and left with a dark expression on her face. 

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, “Look, look, Emma is going to pass the low pile net soon!” 

The low pile net? Someone else asked. 

“That’s right. Do you guys not know what this means? Miss Wilson is best when it comes to going past the low pile nets!” said another student. 

I watched Emma and Riley in the last monthly examination. Eroma widened the gap between them when she went past the low pile ner 

“Miss Wilson looks super scary when she crosses the low pile net She maintains a top speed from the time she enters the net until she finally crosses it. She’s like a flying superhero! She’s so cool One classmate shouted. 

“No way. I want to watch this too!” exclaimed a student. 

The students‘ discussions made Riley even more frustrated. 

Emma’s name sounded like a nightmare every time Riley heard it. Previously, when Riley participated in the boxing league, she finally got first place in the midterm examination. 

She had only enjoyed the glory of first place for a few days. She never expected Emma to return and become the champion by winning the gold medal in the boxing league. 

The students‘ focus returned to Emma. Soon, they ignored Riley’s short–lived “first place” achievement. 

“Riley, don’t you think Emma is such a bitch? Someone shouted 

Celia hated Emma for what happened in the cafeteria that day. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge, but unfortunately, Emma was too popular in school. Cela could not do it alone. 

“Isn’t there any way we can deal with her? If only she could die in Yenovia and not come back.” 

Riley recalled that her best friend was kicked out of Charon Military School for sprinkling powder on Emma during a competition. 

Riley’s tone turned cold. “What are you talking about? Don’t do anything stupid. You can’t afford to offend Emma!” 

After saying that, Riley quickened her pace. She wanted to leave Emma’s wild, frenzied watch party on the field. 

In the underground studio. 

The atmosphere became more and more gloomy and terrifying 

Then, with a cracking sound, a glass cup was smashed. 

The masked man’s voice sounded rough. He angrily grabbed his subordinate’s neck and strangled him. 

“Tell me, why is she stiline? Why?” The masked man yelled. 

The subordinate looked terrified and had difficulty breathing. He desperately mouthed, “1-1 don’t know- 

“Boom!” There was a loud bang, 

In the next second, there was a bloody hole in the subordinate’s forehead. He fell to the ground and stopped moving. 

The other subordinates beside him were scared out of their wits 

They met the masked man’s gaze. “Sir, sir, please spare us. We’ll contact the people at the venue now. There are still several other traps set up. We’ll increase the voltage! We will kill herl 

The masked man did not say anything. 

Emma was able to pass through the low pile net safely, proving that she had most likely guessed the cause of Bunny’s death 

back then. 

If Emma knew there was electricity in the low pile net, then she had prepared for it and wore protective clothing that kept her insulated. 

The masked man’s character changed, and he sounded like a creepy female. His voice was extremely sharp. “Co and turn the voltage to the maximum!” 

He continued, “Immediately execute Plan B. I don’t want to see her alive at the finish line!” 

When Emma ran past the low pile net, a small ball rolled near Her feet. 

Jenson had helped her and Liam come to the venue beforehand, and they had buried the ball in the sand. 

That day, she had guessed the cause of Justine’s death. In her desperation, Emma and Liam had discussed the next 

countermeasure. 

Emma kicked the small ball that was buried in the sand as she crossed the low pile net. 

The members of the King’s Association would definitely increase the voltage when they saw that their murderous trap hadn’t succeeded. 

This small ball was actually a destructive device. As long as the ball was exposed to sand and touched the electrified low pile net, it would immediately emit electric sparks. 

As expected, not long after Emma crossed the low pile net, sparks lit up on the low pile net. 

“What’s going on? The track is about to catch fire!” Someone shouted. 

“Danger!” Another person warned everyone. 

The organizers of the competition instantly panicked. 

The people from the King’s Association obviously did not expect the sparks. They hurriedly stopped their plan and did not dare to alert the enemy. 

Only a few flames flickered twice. They did not turn into a serious fire. 

However, people all over the world had already seen those two flames. 

These flames attracted the attention of the entire country’s higher–ups. 

Immediately, professionals went to check the venue. 

08.53 Mon, 

The media also broadcasted the entire scene. 

Many people even spoke up for Emma, demanding that the competition organizers show her, 

r justice. 

After all, if she had not left the net in time, she might have died. 

At this moment, the members of the King’s Association finally realized that Emma had caused this spark. 

“She had long seen through our plan! 

The flames were her doing. It was a trap!‘ The masked man realized. 

A deep haze flashed across the masked man’s eyes, and a strong killing intent erupted from his body. 

If this couldn’t kill her, then he had no choice but to use a more direct approach. 

The masked man had already prepared a backup plan outside the arena. 

The moment Emma passed the finish line… 

It was the moment an infrared dot was aimed at her.
