Chapter 3 She is Not Heartless

The big man's expression was somewhat stiff now.

He clearly hadn't timed it right and had struck too hard. He hadn't expected the young boy to be so frail, fainting so quickly.

If he were to strike again in front of so many people, even a light punch would undoubtedly kill the opponent.

But with everyone watching, he couldn't possibly cheat, could he?

For a moment, he stood there, hesitating.

As time was about to pass, the audience below became enraged.

The strong man ceasing his attack meant that the young boy wasn't dead, and their bets would be for naught.

Jing Haoran clenched his fists tightly, "These people are simply inhuman."

Gu Xiaoxi watched the big man in the arena hesitating, fixated on his fists.

"Who told you to hit so hard? It doesn't matter if you lose the bet, but you mustn't lose your reputation. If he doesn't die, it's his fate. If he dies, we own up to it."

Gu Xiaoxi overheard this sentence.
