From the moment this video was opened by Qin Huaibei until now, Anderson has not shown any sign of surprise.
One could say that when he chose to directly torture Brut in front of a large audience, he had already anticipated this day would come.
For the first time, Anderson did not pretend to be pure and harmless in front of Chloe.
Because he realized that being purely harmless was not the best way to protect Chloe. What Chloe needed was never a useless little white flower, but rather a sharp knife that could stand by her side and serve her well.
Anderson's emerald eyes were inscrutable, but a hint of tension could be seen if one looked closely.
This expression was perfectly captured by Chloe, who couldn't help but laugh:
"Dare to do it, are you afraid of being discovered by me?"
Anderson gazed at her calmly, then nodded in admission: "Yeah."
Upon hearing this, Chloe gave a light snort from her nostrils:
"Good boy."
Saying that, she drew her greatsword from the Allspice Circle: "Then let me test your skills. Tell me, have you been holding back when sparring with me?"
Anderson answered honestly: "Even without holding back, I can't beat you."
However, if he went all out, he might just barely put up a fight.
Not particularly strong, but at least not to the point of disappointing Chloe. Compared to others, what Anderson needed to accomplish was only this much.
He existed for Chloe's sake.
Flickering lights danced in the young man's eyes, an expression Chloe couldn't comprehend, but it didn't prevent her from feeling pleased.
The training room became lively again, with the sounds of clashing blades ringing everywhere.
The tournament staff rushed over upon hearing the commotion, setting up cameras to record this scene and broadcast it on the Star Network, finally shutting the mouths of the Mainland Citizens.
During the time Chloe was unconscious, things got out of hand. People online were spreading rumors that the tournament organizers didn't care about the participants, and some even dared to insult the Ancestor of the Vampire clan, as if their heads were too secure on their necks and needed to stick out and cause trouble.
The organizers were terrified. As soon as they received news of Chloe's awakening, they rushed over just to shut the Mainland Citizens up.
Otherwise, they would keep bickering endlessly, and if it escalated to those higher-ups, the organizers would have to drink a pot of bitter tea.
The staff looked at each other, none of them quite understanding how this little girl named Chloe had gained such a good reputation with the audience.
However, as long as she didn't get into trouble, she would be an absolute moneymaker for the tournament organizers.
Thinking of this, the staff let out a long sigh of relief.
......
The competition on the Frigid Planet was forcibly terminated midway. The First Military Academy protagonist team's whereabouts were unknown, the Brut Military Academy was either dead or crippled, and the remaining Tagar and Sasley were sent back by the spatial vortex.
Add to that the still-unhealed wounds of the Brut Military Academy students, and it was impossible to start the competition immediately.
That day, Anderson didn't actually use lethal force. With the advancement of modern science and technology, even completely severed limbs could be fully healed through surgical treatment.
The bones and flesh would be reattached without a single visible seam. If all else failed, an artificial mechanical limb could also work.
Not to mention that Anderson didn't completely sever their limbs that day - he left some tendons and bones intact.
Thinking of this, Chloe felt a bit unsatisfied. She strode ahead of everyone, unable to resist glancing back and saying disdainfully: "Actually, that day you should have cut off their third legs as well."
Upon hearing this, everyone's steps faltered.
It took Anderson a few seconds to react: "Third leg?"
"Yes," Chloe turned around, not understanding, "What, do you want me to explain it to you?"
Qin Huaibei was surprised by her audacity, but upon further thought, this was Chloe, so it didn't seem that strange after all.
He cautiously replied, "Whatever makes you happy."
Chloe let out a light snort, her crimson eyes shining with excitement:
"You should know, losing a hand or a leg might not mean much, but for some men with extreme pride, losing their third leg can be a devastating blow."
Daniel broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a chill in his groin area.
He wiped the sweat off, not daring to say anything else.
After all, this was a merciless character who wouldn't hesitate to cut off a man's third leg without a word, so Daniel didn't dare speak up now.
An awkward atmosphere settled over them for a long while, until Anderson finally understood and respectfully said:
"Understood, I'll remember that."
Daniel looked terrified: "Remember what? What did you remember?"
Anderson looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I remembered how to deal a blow to someone's pride."
Daniel: "......"
He turned away, feeling exhausted.
Otherwise, why didn't Chloe and Anderson just play together? Their thought processes were completely out of the ordinary person's comprehension.
As he was thinking this, they arrived at the entrance of the Brut Military Academy's training room.
For the sake of the Brut Military Academy, the tournament organizers had politely advised them not to approach it.
After all, from the very beginning, the Brut Military Academy had a prejudice against Chloe, and now they might have to add Anderson to the mix.
No matter what, the Brut Military Academy students had become half-human, so their feelings had to be considered.
But would the First Military Academy protagonist team be so well-behaved? Never.
Since the tournament organizers had chosen to politely inform them, they would pretend not to understand.
So, after the organizers left with satisfied smiles, thinking them obedient and adorable, Chloe and her companions immediately headed towards the Brut Military Academy's training room.
Joking aside, how could they pass up such a great opportunity to mock and ridicule?
Chloe turned her head, exchanging a knowing look with her companions, before nonchalantly pushing the door open.
The tournament organizers had arranged a very user-friendly training room for them, with separate areas for rest and training. There was no one in the training area outside, so they must be in the resting area inside.
Thinking this, Chloe deliberately slowed her steps, leading her group quietly towards the inner resting area.
Upon opening the wooden door, rows of treatment pods came into view.
The Brut Military Academy students were placed inside these pods for post-operative recovery of their newly reattached limbs.
Seeing this, Chloe felt a bit displeased.
Why were they healed so quickly? This was the first time she disliked the advanced medical capabilities of this world.
She hadn't even gotten to witness the gruesome state of the Brut Military Academy, and they were already healed?
With this thought, Chloe slowly strolled up to the treatment pods.
Inside the transparent canopy was the sleeping face of Kamen.
Chloe's lips curved into an amused smile as she curled her fingers and knocked on the pod door.
The crisp "tap tap" sounds woke Kamen from his slumber.
He opened his eyes with an annoyed expression, only to be met with Chloe's signature deathly smile.
Behind her stood Anderson, the very person who had crippled him not long ago.
His expression was as cold and indifferent as that day, the contempt in his eyes almost spilling over, as if the slightest movement would make him relive the pain of severed limbs once more.
Overwhelming terror washed over Kamen like a tidal wave, causing his mind to short-circuit as he let out a scream of pure anguish!
