?Chapter 689:

    Christina kept her face perfectly calm as she slowly tilted her head upward toward the upper section. If her instincts were correct, the mysterious boss in question was lurking somewhere in those expensive private boxes above. That intense, predatory stare she had felt burning into her earlier had to being from him. Christina tore her gaze away from the upper levels and turned back to the man waiting for her. “Alright, let’s go.”

    “This way, please,” the man said with a deep, respectful bow, sweeping his arm toward a door at the side of the arena, clearly expecting her to follow. Christina didn’t move toward the door immediately. Instead, she turned to face the Super Champion, her expression genuine and respectful. “You’re a really strong opponent. That was a good fight.”

    Those simple words of respect hit the Super Champion like a knockout punch to the heart. In that instant, he went from being impressed to bing her biggest fan. His scarred face turned bright red, his cheeks flushing like a shy schoolboy who had just beenplimented by his crush.

    The entire crowd stood frozen, jaws hanging open as they stared at the Super Champion. Nobody could believe what they were seeing. Was this blushing, bashful giant really the same bloodthirsty monster who had torn opponents apart in the ring for years? What kind of alternate reality was this?

    Who could have imagined the Super Champion acting like a shy little kid? The contrast was absolutely mind-blowing. He stood beside Christina, looking like a towering, brutal giant next to a fairy, yet somehow she was the one who held all the power.

    After giving the Super Champion thatpliment, Christina turned on her heel and walked confidently toward where Eloise and Elliott were waiting. The Super Champion snapped out of his daze and hurried after her, his face suddenly serious with concern.

    Walking behind Christina, he looked like he could scoop her up with one massive hand and carry her around like a doll. But this woman, who looked so delicate and breakable, had just taught him what real strength meant. During their fight, she could have ended it in the first minute if she had wanted to. She had deliberately held back to make it look like an actualpetition instead of aplete ughter. He was the only person in that entire arena who truly understood howpletely outssed he had been. The difference in their abilities was like…

    Comparing a candle to the sun—maybe she was just being kind, trying to save him from the humiliation of getting destroyed in front of everyone.

    Christina felt someone following her and spun around to see what they wanted. “Is there something you need to say to me?” she asked the Super Champion, her voice curious but not unfriendly.

    New adventures await at g?lnσν???s﹒??o??

    He stood there for a moment, clearly struggling with something. Then, he leaned down closer to her and whispered urgently, “Listen, you need to be really careful of the boss who runs this ce. He’s a dangerous guy.”

    He knew that warning her could get him killed if the boss found out, but he couldn’t just stand there and watch someone he respected walk straight into a trap.

    Christina’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. She hadn’t expected this brutal fighter to risk his own neck just to warn her about danger. “Thanks. I really mean that.”

    She looked at him with a warm smile, showing absolutely no sign of worry or fear about what wasing next. “I’ve got this covered.” She spoke withplete confidence before turning to face Eloise and Elliott.

    “You guys head out first. I’ll meet up with you in a few minutes,” Christina told them.
