“What do you mean by that? I paid close attention to the fight and took note of Miss Ross’ every move.

I am certain that they are the special techniques created by Benico!”

Lucinda stood quietly on one side of the stage, her lips curled into a faint smile.

She didn’t bother to interject and simply waited for Tess to explain herself.

She had never claimed to be Benico’s disciple, anyway.

These people had made their own assumption and just ran away with it.

“Lucinda?” Cyrus called out to her in a quiet voice, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes.

Lucinda already knew what he was about to say, so she gave a slight shake of her head to let him know that he had nothing to worry about.

She wanted to see just what Tess was planning to do next.

Tess needed no further encouragement.

“Back when I was studying in Redview, I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Master Benico from a distance.

The disciple he was with was a man, not a woman.

In order to confirm this, I specifically contacted a friend from Redview.

Sure enough, the disciple is a man, and just happens to be Benico’s relative, which is why he made an exception and took him under his tutelage.

As for this pretentious woman, well you can all judge for yourself!

She is obviously not a man, and I doubt she has any connection to Benico at all!”

Carlson was baffled.

Tess made some good points, however…

“But I couldn’t have been mistaken! Her moves—”

“It’s evident that she has stolen the techniques from the master!”

Tess interrupted him.

A murmured discussion from the crowd followed her declaration.

In the world of martial arts, it was abhorrent to steal another master’s techniques, even more so than Babur’s treacherous attack.

If Tess’ words were proven to be true, being blacklisted would be the least of Lucinda’s problems.

Avid followers of the National Martial Arts Association would likely target her and beat her up until she could no longer practice martial arts.

Seeing that she was turning the tide in her favor, Tess egged the audience further by adding, “Just think about it! This woman came from an orphanage in Forden.

She is a nobody, while Benico is a well-respected master! How could they possibly be associated with each other? Don’t you fall for this cunning wench’s lies!”

As the tension grew and grew, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.

Tess whirled around and glared at Lucinda, who was chortling without restraint.

“What the hell is so funny?” she demanded.

Lucinda looked straight in Tess’ eyes as her smile gradually faded.
