Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 516 - 340: Bullying the Weak

Ji Xinghuo quickly withdrew his arm, asking with great displeasure, "Miss Kelly Olson, are you out of your mind?"

Zhao Manying also looked displeased.

Although they had speculated about this earlier, hearing Kelly Olson say it out loud still seemed outrageous.

This was sabotaging the relationship between two people. Just imagine if the one who said this was not Kelly Olson but a man, and to add, in a public setting, Ji Xinghuo would have immediately punched him in the face.

Seeing the strong reaction from both of them, especially Zhao Manying who stepped back to keep her distance, Kelly’s expression suddenly froze.

The three of them were frozen for a few seconds.

They were all the focus of the banquet, attracting many glances from the guests.

Just as Ji Xinghuo was about to walk away, Kelly suddenly showed a relaxed smile, "Just a little joke. Don’t you folks from the Asia-Pacific Community have a sense of humor?"

She extended her hand toward Ji Xinghuo.

"Let’s formally introduce ourselves, I am Kelly Olson."

Ji Xinghuo did not shake her hand, saying sternly, "I’m not familiar with you, one has to choose the right time and place for jokes."

"I apologize," said Kelly with an open expression, then turned her hand toward Zhao Manying, enthusiastically saying, "Sword Immortal lady, we have crossed swords many times in the arena, and competed on the same stage offline, I have long admired you, and today I’m finally meeting you in person."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Kelly Olson," said Zhao Manying, also not shaking her hand, responding coldly but politely.

Kelly did not seem embarrassed at all, "It seems I was presumptuous."

"Excuse me."

Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying turned and walked away.

The banquet began.

The banquet tonight was attended by more than thirty guests, not a large number, but it was a highly exclusive event. There were over two hundred servants and maids alone, and Princess Sofia had invited three top chefs from Ivangrad to cook dishes from various countries, catering to the different tastes of the guests.

There were splendid performances throughout the banquet, entertainers from the Royal Theatre and several top global stars sang in turns for the guests.

Ji Xinghuo got a taste of the opulence of a royal banquet.

In this historical Royal Mansion, eating gourmet food prepared by top chefs, drinking wines priced like gold, listening to melodious and beautiful music, with servers attending at all times, surrounded by statue-like Imperial Guards, and engaging in conversation with global celebrities and legends.

This atmosphere, this feeling...

Even if Ji Xinghuo was not one to crave material pleasures, he couldn’t help feeling like he was part of the upper class, having become a person of high status.

Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying exchanged a look, having a tacit understanding; she did not like these kinds of events.

Actually, it wasn’t just them.

The guests from the Asia-Pacific Community were not very comfortable with it either.

The difference was due to the different national systems, where from childhood their education and formed beliefs told them that this was not something people should pursue. It was okay to experience it occasionally, but one should not indulge.

In contrast, most guests from other countries were like fish in water at the banquet, fully integrated into it as if it were only natural.

"Applause..."

With the end of a song by a female singer from the West Alliance, the guests clapped sporadically.

Just then, Kelly approached with a glass of wine in hand.

"Please forgive my earlier presumption," she said, tilting her head back and downing the whole glass, her cheeks flushed with a bit of drunkenness, but her eyes very clear, she looked at Ji Xinghuo and said, "Mr. Ji, I would very much like to challenge you."

Although she spoke softly, and there was a band playing music nearby, the guests present were all powerful Mutants and heard her clearly.

The guests listened inconspicuously, secretly paying attention.

Ji Xinghuo was somewhat irritated.

This woman just wouldn’t give up, clinging to him incessantly. Before he could refuse, Zhao Manying spoke up, "Miss Kelly Olson, Xinghuo’s top ranking on the ladder is well-deserved. His strength far surpasses mine, please stop making a fool of yourself."

The guests at the banquet were all slightly shocked, instinctively looking over.

Zhao Manying’s strength was acknowledged by all.

Her dominating performance in the arena yesterday, even the opposing Mutants from the United States and her most loyal fans had to acknowledge.

But it was precisely because of this that people doubted Ji Xinghuo’s ranking.

Hearing Zhao Manying personally admit that her strength was far less than Ji Xinghuo’s still seemed unbelievable.

Kelly was silent for a few seconds, "I don’t believe it!"

"He is only fast and has precise Archery Skill, but fighting isn’t just about those two aspects. If you want me to be convinced, you have to fight me," she said, her mind clear, but taking advantage of the alcohol to become more vocal.

Ji Xinghuo sat there unmoved, "Whether you are convinced or not is none of my business."

"Coward!"

Kelly stared at Ji Xinghuo, with sparks of electricity flashing in her eyes, she yelled loudly, "You are the Magnetic Field Madman, and so am I. If you’re brave enough, then take me on in a fight instead of hiding behind a woman like a coward."

Her voice was like Thunder, the lights in the banquet hall Flashing on and off, with fine sparks of electricity dancing in the air.

Most of the servants and maids, being ordinary people, were terrified.

The band was also forced to stop playing.

Princess Sofia hurried over, she restrained her anger and said sternly, "Miss Kelly Olson, you are out of line." She looked toward the legendary figures from the American Federation, but saw that they were merely watching from the sidelines.

The other guests were also watching as if it was a spectacle.

In the world of mutants, no matter what kind of conflict arises, or how it started, it ultimately had to be resolved with strength.

Ji Xinghuo certainly understood this.

He stood up, walked over to Kelly, "When a weaker party challenges a stronger one, there’s always a price to pay."
