Mei Nasha knew that Natasha was Jiang Yi’s student and had received his true teachings.
Before, she didn’t believe Natasha could handle Steven’s students, but now she did.
Because, so far, Steven had two students who had been defeated by Natasha.
“Mr. Steven, there’s something you must not know!”
Mei Nasha looked at Steven and said, “Natasha is Jiang Yi’s student. All of Natasha’s skills were taught by Jiang Yi!”
Upon hearing this, Steven’s brows furrowed slightly.
This matter surprised Steven.
“Princess Mei Nasha, you must be joking! I checked, and Jiang Yi’s medical skills are very impressive. He could even cure Prince Matthew’s illness, and he is also a very skilled pharmacist. But I’ve never heard of Jiang Yi knowing Western swordsmanship!”
“How could a person from China, Jiang Yi, possibly know Western swordsmanship!”
Steven wore a look of doubt.
“Mr. Steven, do you think I need to joke with you like this? You haven’t even figured out what Jiang Yi is capable of, and you still want to deal with him. It’s truly laughable!”
Mei Nasha said mockingly.
“Princess Mei Nasha, it’s useless whatever you say. Since your Royal Family of Eagle Country is unwilling to deal with Jiang Yi, we will have to take action ourselves. I have already thought of a brilliant plan, and today I can openly eliminate Jiang Yi!”
Steven revealed a sinister, cold smile.
“May I ask what brilliant plan Mr. Steven has?”
Mei Nasha asked.
“Since Princess Mei Nasha wants to know, then I will tell Princess Mei Nasha!”
“My brilliant plan is very simple. I will personally participate in the competition later and defeat Natasha. Then, I will find a way to force Jiang Yi to participate. Once we are on the stage, I can openly eliminate Jiang Yi.”
“This strategy might not be particularly brilliant, but it’s more than enough to deal with Jiang Yi!”
Steven’s smile turned ferocious, and his gaze swept towards Jiang Yi in the crowd.
Steven had also spotted Jiang Yi in the crowd.
Although he hadn’t seen Jiang Yi before, he had Jiang Yi’s profile, which included a photograph.
Besides, after every match, Natasha would go and talk to Jiang Yi, so Steven guessed that person was Jiang Yi.
“Don’t worry, I won’t stop you!”
Mei Nasha immediately declared her stance.
Mei Nasha did not interfere because she was well aware of Jiang Yi’s capabilities. Since Jiang Yi could teach such a skilled student as Natasha, his abilities were naturally superior to Steven’s.
Therefore, Mei Nasha had no worries about Jiang Yi dying at Steven’s hands.
Hearing Natasha’s promise not to interfere, Steven felt he had no further concerns and believed Jiang Yi was doomed.
Once Jiang Yi was dead, Steven’s mission would be considered complete!
The competition continued. Whether by design or not, in every subsequent elimination match, Natasha’s opponent was one of Steven’s students.
After several matches, several of Steven’s students had been defeated by Natasha.
Natasha showed no mercy, her moves were sharp and ruthless. Steven’s students were all crippled by Natasha, suffering severe injuries. Even if they were healed, they would be disabled for life!
When Steven’s last student was crippled by Natasha, Steven’s brow furrowed.
Steven knew how skilled his students were in Western swordsmanship, yet they were so easily defeated by Natasha.
Steven worried that Jiang Yi’s Western swordsmanship might be even superior to Natasha’s. If that were the case, he would have no way to deal with Jiang Yi and might even suffer a crushing defeat himself.
Steven began to feel that his plan from earlier might not work.
“Mr. Steven, your last student also lost to Natasha. Next, it’s your turn. You are the number one Western swordsman in Mei Country. If you cannot defeat Natasha, not only will your plan fall through, but the reputation of Mei Country’s Royal Family will be completely ruined!”
Mei Nasha said with a playful smile.
“Hmph!”
Steven snorted coldly and said dismissively, “Natasha is just a rising star. How much skill can she possibly have? I, Steven, have dominated the Western swordsmanship world for so many years without ever losing. I don’t even take a mere Natasha seriously. Defeating her is as easy as flipping my hand!”
Steven did not take Natasha seriously.
Hearing this, Mei Nasha’s smile turned peculiar.
Mei Nasha had her own calculations.
At this moment, the crowd in the plaza was cheering for Natasha.
“Good heavens, Natasha is too amazing! All of Steven’s students were defeated by her. She is simply the number one Western swordsman in our Eagle Country, an invincible being!”
“Exactly. In my opinion, even if Steven himself were to compete, he might not be Natasha’s opponent!”
“Natasha will definitely win first place in this year’s Western swordsmanship competition. She is my idol and my goddess. I want to marry her and have children with my goddess!”
…
The crowd chattered excitedly.
Natasha had now become the most dazzling presence in the entire venue.
“Everyone, please be quiet!”
Mei Nasha stood up from her chair.
Seeing that Mei Nasha had something to say, the crowd quieted down and turned their attention to her.
“Everyone, Mr. Steven just mentioned that he wants to challenge Natasha on behalf of Mei Country’s Western swordsmen. Since Mr. Steven has this request, I cannot refuse. I have decided to give Mr. Steven the opportunity to challenge Natasha!”
“Their challenge will not only decide the victor but also prove which country’s Western swordsmanship is superior, Eagle Country’s or Mei Country’s!”
Mei Nasha announced.
Originally, Steven only intended to defeat Natasha, force Jiang Yi onto the stage, and then eliminate Jiang Yi legitimately.
However, with Mei Nasha’s statement, it now turned into a duel between Eagle Country’s and Mei Country’s Western swordsmanship.
Steven was a smart man and quickly saw through Mei Nasha’s stratagem.
However, Steven did not care about this, as he believed that no Western swordsmanship could surpass his own. Whether it was Natasha or Jiang Yi, they would eventually fall into his hands.
“Mr. Steven is too shameless! He actually wants to personally bully a rising star of Eagle Country’s Western swordsmanship!”
“In my opinion, Mr. Steven feels embarrassed that all his students lost to Natasha, so he wants to defeat Natasha to regain his honor!”
“I used to think Steven was a grandmaster of Western swordsmanship, but now it seems he’s just a shameless scoundrel!”
…
The crowd began to secretly curse Steven.
