Chapter 625

Evelyn Ross remained still.

She did not reveal her identity.

She was waiting.

Waiting for the Fox's next move.

She knew someone as cunning as the Fox wouldn't only target the Special Operations Division.

As the Fox's schemes surfaced one by one, a sliver of admiration actually stirred within Evelyn.

Because!

Even before the Special Operations Division got involved, the Fox had already planted two such deep moles.

What did this mean?

Countless corners of the entire nation, perhaps even the whole country, were already riddled with her hidden agents.

How many years had this person been operating within the country?

Evelyn did not feel smug just because she happened to be the First Senior Sister of the Cortez Sect and could counter this move.

She only felt a chill run down her spine.

A wave of retrospective fear.

Being the First Senior Sister of the Cortez Sect was, for her, an opportunity.

A fate formed when her master happened to meet her back in San Francisco.

But for the Fox, Zhang Tai, Li Mi, and the Boxing King before her were inevitabilities.

The inevitable result of meticulous planning.

You could say this—

If her master hadn't met her back then, he might still be searching the world for a closing-door disciple.

Then, in this generation, the strongest should have been Ethan Valentine.

Yet,the Boxing King could overpower Ethan Valentine!

As Evelyn was lost in thought, the Boxing King removed his shirt.

Solid muscles were exposed to the air.

He clashed his fists together.

The muscles on his arms instantly bulged, radiating explosive power.

He took a step forward.

His muscles trembled slightly with the movement.

His steps were steady, his aura imposing.

His massive physique was like an insurmountable mountain.

Everyone in the Special Operations Division swallowed hard in unison.

Even the usually defiant Leo Wright widened his eyes.

Ethan Valentine murmured in awe, "Those muscles... trained to perfection. Every one is just right. He was born to fight."

"If that punch landed on my face... my brains would be knocked out, right?"

Zhang Tai and Li Mi exchanged a glance.

They spoke almost simultaneously.

"I don't dare go up. Not because I'm cowardly, but because it's useless. Others might wear down his stamina. If I go up... he'd probably pick me up like a chick. Too embarrassing for the department."

"I won't go either," Li Mi's voice was even lower. "Besides, Boxing King has always been a hero I admire. I've seen his interviews. He got to where he is today purely through his own perseverance. As a child, he couldn't even afford food... Someone like that deserves our respect. If we win using a war of attrition, it's too dishonorable."

Hearing this, those who had planned to step forward as cannon fodder to drain his stamina hesitated.

They had been prepared to get injured.

As long as Ethan Valentine and Leo Wright could win, these injuries meant nothing.

They had never forgotten the oath they took when joining the Special Operations Division.

But Zhang Tai and Li Mi's words made them suddenly realize—

Even winning like this would be an empty victory.

Everyone fell silent.

The Boxing King's sharp gaze swept across the room, finally landing on the head of the International Department.

That person immediately stepped forward. "I imagine the esteemed members of the Special Operations Division also disdain tactics like a war of attrition? Here's the deal. You can send ten people. If anyone can defeat Boxing King, the person is yours. If all ten fail... the person comes with us. How about that?"

The Special Operations Division members looked at each other.

This made them feel even more awkward.

Forget about all ten failing, even if they won... would it truly be honorable?

Leo Wright grew anxious. "What are you all waiting for? Is anyone going up?"

He and Ethan Valentine were the two strongest in the department and had to be saved for last.

In case one of them could defeat the Boxing King, the contest would be won.

Therefore, they needed eight people to pave the way first.

But no one responded.

Everyone hung their heads, not daring to speak.

Leo Wright frowned deeply. "What's with the pride now? Everything is for victory! Step forward!"

Li Mi muttered quietly, "Easy for you to say... but this is really humiliating..."

While everyone was still hesitating, Deputy Director Marcus Wright suddenly spoke.

"I'm old now. My stamina isn't what it used to be, and I have old injuries. Logically, I shouldn't overestimate myself... But seeing Boxing King, I simply can't hold back. How about I go first and spar with the Boxing King?"

After speaking, he took a step forward.
