Chapter 443 Overturning the Arena
Gwyneth had seen enough.
Although she didn't like the Bautista Family, she couldn't stand watching these young people being abused on stage.
Robbie clenched his palms, his face also looking grim. He was about to say something when suddenly a low voice came from behind him:
"Robbie, you know what to say, don't you?"
Robbie whipped around, his pupils contracting.
It was Raven.
Raven had appeared behind Robbie like a ghost. This scene naturally caught the attention of Gwyneth, Winford, and the others.
Winford frowned slightly. "Why would Robbie from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance be with Raven from The Whispering Sect?"
"Robbie, hurry up and announce the end of the match and make The Whispering Sect stop," Gwyneth stared at Robbie and said coldly.
Robbie pressed his lips together.
"Ms. Powell, the match isn't over yet."
"There's no surrender clause in the competition rules. The only way to end a match is for one side to be knocked off the stage. So far, the Bautista Family hasn't been eliminated, so the match must continue."
Hearing this response, everyone from the Bautista Family changed their expressions.
"What does this mean? They can't even surrender?"
"If they won't end the match, are they going to let The Whispering Sect beat them to death?"
"The Whispering Sect is going too far. If it's a competition, fine, but why bully people?"
Just then, Raven spoke up: "Hello everyone, I'm Raven, and I'm also the Hall Master of The Whispering Sect."
His contemptuous gaze swept over Gwyneth, Manuel, and each of the seven family heads as he sneered:
"As Robbie said, those are the competition rules. Right now, the so-called elites of the Bautista Family are like trash in front of The Whispering Sect's young masters, beaten without any chance to fight back. Shouldn't you, family heads, first reflect on your own incompetence?"
"With this level of ability, you dare call yourselves the seven great families? The leaders of Novaria?"
Hearing these words, the faces of the seven family heads all looked terrible.
The fight on Stage 4 continued.
A member of the Bautista Family had his arm twisted off, letting out a heart-wrenching scream from his throat.
Among the six people from The Whispering Sect on stage, the chubby young man named Delbert was the most vicious. After breaking that member's arm, he viciously stomped on the man's lower abdomen, completely crippling him.
"You worthless trash." Delbert looked at the person screaming under his foot and sneered. "I thought you were so great! Whether it's the Bautista Family or the Powell family, you so-called great families can't even compare to one finger of The Whispering Sect. I'm going to cripple you one by one..."
"Hahaha!"
Isabella watched the scene on Stage 4 with a serious expression.
Her eyes flickered, and she was about to do something when suddenly an incredibly powerful force burst out from beside her.
It was Gwyneth making her move. She directly flipped over the entire stage.
Everyone on stage was thrown off, including Declan and Delbert, all caught off guard and knocked down.
Isabella: "..."
The air fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone stared blankly at Gwyneth.
Gwyneth's expression was cold, her sharp gaze sweeping toward Raven and Robbie like a sword. "Now, is the match over?"
Robbie was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Raven's face immediately changed. He glared at Gwyneth through gritted teeth. "Who gave you permission to flip the stage?"
He simply hadn't expected Gwyneth to act directly, especially since they were still livestreaming.
He had intended to thoroughly humiliate the seven great families, but he never imagined Gwyneth would just flip the stage. Raven was furious, feeling that Gwyneth didn't take him seriously at all.
"I need your permission to flip a stage?" Gwyneth gave him a cold glance. "What are you anyway? These bastards you brought out, you call them young masters? Raven, stop putting on airs. Your Whispering Sect people are nothing but cockroaches that can't stand the light."
"Always have been, always will be."
Raven's face immediately darkened.
He ground his teeth, wishing he could kill this damned woman on the spot.
"Gwyneth, I think you're just scared. Can't handle losing, so you flip the stage? Is it so hard to admit that your seven great families aren't as strong as our Whispering Sect?"
"Raven, do I need to remind you? The competition isn't completely over yet. So far, only the Bautista Family and the Guest family have lost to you, not all the families. Since the Whispering Sect hasn't won the final victory, what right do you have to be so arrogant here? If you want to gloat, wait until the competition results are out!"
Gwyneth's icy voice hit Raven's face like a slap.
Manuel, the head of the Jordan family, also said coldly: "Since you haven't completely won first place, Raven, what qualifies you to talk big here?"
"The Guest family and the Bautista Family lost, but there's still my Jordan family and the Banks family. Even if my Jordan family and the Banks family lose, there's still the Powell family!"
Raven's face turned extremely cold.
He had really underestimated Gwyneth. He hadn't expected this woman to be so strong and decisive!
Raven snorted coldly. "Then let's wait and see! When the competition results come out, I'll let everyone in Novaria know who the real number one power in Novaria is!"
Winford sincerely thanked Gwyneth for being so decisive at the critical moment, directly flipping the stage to end the match.
He thanked Gwyneth and immediately called for people to rescue the injured.
The six people the Bautista Family sent to compete were severely injured. They were lucky to be alive, especially Aubrey, who had suffered very serious internal injuries and was barely breathing.
"Damn it, this was basically a massacre!"
This was the first time the seven great families had a direct sense of how cruel The Whispering Sect's methods were.
In front of the livestream, under so many people's watch, they dared to be so arrogant!
Watching the Bautista Family's injured being carried away, the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance finally announced: "The Whispering Sect wins, the Bautista Family is eliminated!"
Hearing the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance announce the result, Gwyneth's sharp gaze swept toward Robbie. "Don't you plan to fix the competition rules? I suggest patching the loophole by adding a clause that if either side surrenders on stage, the match ends."
"If you don't add this clause and insist that one side must be knocked off the stage to lose, you're giving bad people the opportunity to do evil."
Hearing this, Robbie looked conflicted, but Raven's threat was still fresh in his mind.
Robbie clenched his palms and met Gwyneth's gaze, only able to say: "I don't think we need to specifically add that clause. After all, there's never been any talk of surrender or forfeit in the arena. Our rules are the same as arena rules."
Gwyneth's eyes turned completely cold. "So in the upcoming matches, The Whispering Sect can still freely abuse their opponents, is that it?"
Robbie was silent for a moment, then just said: "I'll advise The Whispering Sect to restrain their behavior, but competition is ultimately cruel. Life and death in the arena have always been commonplace. I hope Ms. Powell won't make a big fuss over nothing."
