Chapter 211: CH 211
As Dave followed Ajax into the training room, he could see the other contestants promptly halting their matches, their eyes fixed on Ajax. They hastily retreated, vacating the platform with an air of urgency. Dave’s curiosity piqued; he didn’t understand why they surrendered without hesitation.
Ajax’s formidable reputation preceded him, Dave realized. The onlookers’ apprehensive glances and hushed whispers confirmed his suspicions.
Behind Dave, a cluster of five individuals conferenced, their murmurs carrying forward. Dave’s acute hearing allowed him to discern their conversations with ease, since he was outrightly standing in front of them.
One of the onlookers initiated the hushed conversation, eyes fixed on Ajax. "What’s he trying to do? He’s not going to ask someone here to fight him or something?"
Another individual shook their head vehemently. "No way I’d dare face him! Yesterday’s match was gruesome. That poor guy couldn’t land a single hit before passing out cold."
A third spectator chimed in, alarm etched in their voice. "And the worst part? Ajax barely broke a sweat! His skills are terrifying."
A nearby observer nodded in agreement. "It’s cruel. Someone with his abilities should be taking on the most ferocious beasts, not innocent people. Besides, shouldn’t he be among the executives?"
"I don’t know, it’s been so long since they chose an executive, they might choose him in the next selection process though." One spectator whispered.
Another nodded thoughtfully. "That explains why he’s relentlessly challenging everyone. He’s undermining potential opponents’ confidence and also showcasing his strength to the board."
"I thought he’s been here for long?" A curious onlooker asked, "Why didn’t he join the board earlier? He’s obviously qualified."
A knowing voice responded, "Rumor has it that Simbi defeated him in the last selection process."
"Wow, is she that skilled?" A fellow said in awe.
