The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO
Chapter 535 - 535 534 Mei

535: Chapter 534 Mei 535: Chapter 534 Mei Throughout the competition, Wang Dadong watched intently, waiting for the woman who would fight without regard for her own life to appear.

He didn’t know if she could still make it to the next round.

Until the penultimate match, the woman hadn’t shown up.

Could it be that she was too injured from the previous match to participate?

At this moment, Wang Dadong’s heart was in conflict, as he both anticipated her appearance and hoped she wouldn’t show up.

What Wang Dadong looked forward to was whether the woman could create another miracle.

His reluctance stemmed from the fear that, given the woman’s fighting style, she might end up being killed in this match.

After all, by now, two Saints had already appeared.

Heaven knows if there were any other Saints still in hiding.

Even if they weren’t Saints, it was likely dangerous for the woman, as she had just broken through to the Superhuman Realm.

“Miss Mei, the last contestant, please come to the stage,” the referee announced over the microphone, signaling the start of the final match.

Mei’s opponent was already standing in the arena, radiating a powerful aura.

Although not a Saint, he was still incredibly strong, his face filled with supreme confidence.

He had watched Mei fight before; she fought desperately.

Desperate fighting could unleash significant potential, but if the gap in strength was too great, then no amount of desperation could prevent an inevitable defeat.

However, it seemed Miss Mei was nowhere in sight.

“Miss Mei, please come to the stage,” the host called out again when Mei failed to show up.

Murmurs began spreading through the crowd.

“Could it be that Mei is too injured to fight?”

“It seems that this is as far as Mei can go.

After all, her strength was just at the Superhuman Realm; making it this far was already quite difficult.”

“I had wanted to see if she could pull off another miracle, but now it seems impossible.”

Some were disappointed, others sighed.

“Miss Mei, please come to the stage immediately, or you will be considered defeated after three minutes,” the referee said, his brow furrowing.

This was the first time that someone had failed to show up for their match.

“Two minutes left…” the referee began the countdown.

“One minute left…”

“…”

“Thirty seconds left…”

“It looks like Mei isn’t going to appear…” people shook their heads.

“Ten seconds left, I declare the winner of this match is…”

Just as the referee was about to declare Mei’s opponent the victor, that petite figure surprisingly made an appearance.

“I…

am…

here…”

Mei took step by step toward the ring, each one seemingly requiring tremendous effort as if even standing was difficult for her.

Yet her gaze remained resolute.

Seeing Mei appear, Wang Dadong was also somewhat astonished.

The situation Mei was in was dire, to say the least; not to mention fighting, even standing seemed to be a struggle.

Watching that frail figure move step by step towards the ring, many in the audience felt a wave of sadness wash over them.

Knowing death was certain, yet still proceeding.

What kind of belief was sustaining her?

“I’m pledging five million to Mei!”

Suddenly, someone from among the audience spoke up.

“I’m pledging ten million to Mei!”

“I also pledge ten million to Mei!”

“…”

Miss Mei, although she was only a beginner-level powerhouse in the Superhuman Realm, had already earned the respect of countless people with her performance.

This is what a true martial artist looks likes, one who never falls.

In the face of people’s rewards, Miss Mei’s eyes didn’t show the slightest change, still identical to before, that was the look of someone destined to win.

Although her opponent was many times stronger than she was, she still believed she would win.

This had nothing to do with strength, it was an unwavering belief!

“Miss Mei, your body can’t fight any longer, just give up,” even the referee couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

“I, I can still fight…

I, will definitely win!” Miss Mei’s tone carried an unparalleled determination.

The referee shook his head helplessly, since Mei refused to admit defeat, they could only continue the fight.

Miss Mei’s opponent was at least at the Superhuman Realm Advanced level, a whole two realms above her, and considering her current state of being at the end of her strength, the only way for her to win the match would be a miracle.

And what if she did win this match?

Stronger opponents awaited, and even with good luck advancing further, there were still two Saints ahead.

Junior level in the Superhuman Realm defeating a Saint, was that possible?

Impossible, even Wang Dadong, when he was at the beginner level of Superhuman Realm, only had the fate of being instantly defeated by a Saint.

But Mei seemed unaware, still insistent on fighting.

“Do you really insist on fighting?”

Miss Mei’s opponent finally spoke up.

“Yes!”

Miss Mei’s voice didn’t waver at all.

“Alright then…” Miss Mei’s opponent took a deep breath and slowly said, “If you insist on fighting, then…

I admit defeat.”

“I admit defeat.”

What?

When everyone heard Miss Mei’s opponent conceding, they were all dumbfounded.

Her opponent had actually surrendered voluntarily.

Could it be that he was also moved by Mei’s indomitable spirit?

Even Mei wore a confused expression, not understanding why her opponent would suddenly give up.

“Are you sure about your surrender?” the referee was also somewhat taken aback.

What was going on?

He was quite confused.

All it would have taken was a casual move to win, yet to concede like this was extremely illogical.

The man nodded and said, “Yes, I admit defeat.

It’s not out of sympathy for her, but because I too am at the end of my strength.

My last fight left me gravely wounded.

The ferocity I just displayed was all an act, and right now, I’m not much better off than Mei.

If I don’t admit defeat, I could very well be killed by Mei.

Besides, even if I won this round, I couldn’t possibly win the championship.

Having witnessed a martial artist like Mei, I am already content.”

After he spoke, his aura instantly wilted, and his complexion turned deathly pale.

It had indeed been a bluff.

Originally, he had hoped that his opponent would be intimidated by his ferocity and surrender, but he had met Mei instead.

In Mei’s dictionary, there was only combat; surrender wasn’t an option.

“Well then, in that case, I declare the winner of this match to be…

Mei!” the referee announced the final result.

The final outcome was indeed bewildering.

Mei, a junior-level fighter in the Superhuman Realm, had actually advanced to the top 32.

But this wasn’t necessarily good news, as even more difficult battles lay ahead of her.

Mei walked off the platform step by step, her slender figure moving countless people to tears.

Wang Dadong too was silently shaking his head and sighing.

Mei was so persistent; she must have had her reasons.

Everyone has their choices, and since this was Mei’s decision, he couldn’t stop her.

“Master…” Liu Tong gently rubbed her eyes, which were red, seeing her own reflection in Mei’s persona.

If Wang Dadong hadn’t come this time, perhaps she would have been like Mei, knowing full well she was like a moth to a flame, yet still resolute.

Wang Dadong gently patted Liu Tong’s back.

“Don’t worry, your master is here.”

“Master, am I being too willful…?” Liu Tong looked up, her voice wistful.

Wang Dadong nodded emphatically.

“You certainly are.”

“Come on, Master, can’t you give me a little bit of face?”

The young policewoman pouted dissatisfiedly.
