Second Chances

Chapter 191 

After Lane and Rielle returned to the team, the head of the school gave another speech. 

Finally, Charon Military School’s founder, Jerome, personally sejt Emma and Erza to their car. 

Jerome had always admired these two students and had high expectations of them. 

Before they left. Jerome stood outside the car window and said to Emma, “Emma, Mr. Hall already mentioned to me that he will be waiting for you over in Yenovia. Your mind will be at ease during the competition. You will definitely be able to win a grand slam!” 

Only then did Emma realize that Liam had truly prepared to pick her up from the airport. Even Jerome knew about it. 

Erza pursed his lips and blew at the fringe on his forehead. He said in a roguish manner, ‘It’s good you have your boyfriend waiting there. You already have someone overseas ready to take you to the competition.” 

“Erza, don’t be so cheeky,” Jerome said with a smile. “Your grandfather said that if you can’t get first place this time, I should directly recommend you to the army.” 

Erza was at a loss, 

Fine. I’ll stop talking and pretend to be mute, alright? Erza was annoyed. 

When Erza and Emma arrived at the Yenovia airport, the sky was filled with dark clouds, just like last time. 

After Emma and Erza picked up their luggage, they saw a man with Hilopian facial features standing out from the crowd at the airport. 

Standing at about 6 foot 2, Liam did not look short among the Peksians. He looked handsome and reserved as he waved at 

Emma. 

“Emma, Liam called. 

Emma was pushing her luggage and immediately sped. “Liam, my love!” 

Charon Military School had closed–door training, so it had been a few days since she had seen Liam. 

“Airplane food tastes terrible. I want to eat steak.” Emma whined 

“I will make arrangements, Liam assured her. 

Liam hugged her waist dotingly. Before they left, he even glance at Erza behind her. 

“Is this your classmate, Erza?” 

He had met Erza a few times. The young womanizer of the Burton family was quite famous in Troln City. Levi had also told him that Erza usually hung around Emma in school. 

“Want to join us? Liam asked Erza. 

Liam’s voice was very calm, but it carried an inexplicable domineering tone that only high–ranking people had. 

Of course, he was not really inviting Erza. 

He just asked this question to declare that Emma was his woman 

Erza was used to looking sloppy and rarely felt suppressed, but when he saw Liam, he felt overpowered

Erza touched the tip of his nose and pushed his suitcase forward quickly. “No, I leave for practice now? 

Emma raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. 

Then, she went to the underground garage with Liam, and they drove out of the airport. 

As they drove through the streets of Yenovia, the night was cold. 

After a good meal, Liam and Emma drove to her hotel. 

Emma sat in the passenger seat and reached out the window to feel the cold evening breeze. 

It had rained, and the air felt fresh as she breathed it in. 

She relaxed for a moment, then closed the window. 

The atmosphere became quiet and intimate. Only then did Emma ask Liam, “By the way, what’s going on with the King’s Association?” 

Liam was behind the wheel. He said, “Everything’s going as planned.” 

They’re trying to get at you in the Krot Competition, the same way they did with Justine five years ago.”

When Emma heard this, she secretly clenched her fists. 

“With adding a high–volt to the low pile net?” 

Liam took out the detailed plan that was used back then. 

“Here’s an analysis of what happened to Justine, Liam stated. 

Justine joined the King’s Association back then. Of course, they had her physical data.” 

“She had a delicate physique and had undergone intense training. At that time, her heart rate was very high. Back then, they used an electric current of about 50 volts to stop her heart.” 

“The electricity only went through her twice. It was so fast that no one noticed.” 

Emma listened to Liam describe what happened and grabbed the paper tightly. 

Her knuckles turned pale, and she wrinkled the paper, leaving evidence of her anger, 

“The day after tomorrow, at the competition, I will definitely expose their evil deeds to the public… She stated. 

The tournament was just around the corner, and both Emma and Erza had reduced the training sessions they had. 

For the past two days, the coach had emphasized he would let the rest and recuperate. At their level, it was normal to do this, and both of them were fine with it. 

However, according to the organizer’s rules, all athletes in the Knot Competition would be in pairs and share hotel rooms. 

Emma was on her own and had a luxurious suite to herself…. 

The coach immediately remembered what Jerome had said before they left the other day. Emma’s boyfriend was waiting for her here in Yenovia 

Emma would have a room for herself. It was probably her “boyfriend” who arranged it. 

The coach thought long and hard. He was really anxious. 

He was thinking about how ip subtly remind Emma to relax and not tire her body before the competition, especially during 

a certain exercise…. 

However, when he was about to mouth these words, he looked at Emma’s exquisite and innocent face. He could not say 

them. 

What if I’m just overthinking? Wouldn’t that make me look very wretched? He pondered. 

“Hey, Emma.” He called out to her. 

“Yes?” Emma answered. 

Emma was deep into a stretching session. The competition was tomorrow. The coach avoided the issue for a while, but he was still afraid that something would go wrong. He asked Emma indirectly, “How have you been finding Yenovia these past few days? Have you acclimatized well?” 

“I mean… well, you sleep well at night, don’t you? The coach really wanted to ask that. 

“Well, everyone else sleeps in pairs, and you’re alone. I have no way of understanding your situation, so that’s why I’m asking you. 

The coach tried to sound as discreet as possible, but he was a military man. 

No matter how he tried to hide it, he sounded very straightforward. The more he spoke, the stranger his questions became. Towards the end, Emma did not have any reaction, but her face turned red. 

Emma did not think too much of the coach’s words. She just said that she slept well and then went back to continue her 

stretch. 

Erza, who was listening in, came over with a sly look on his face. Emma, you’ve been with Liam for the past few nights, right?” 

Emma gave him a bewildered look. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Erza quickly made his point. The coach meant to say that you guys must restrain yourselves for a few days.” 

Emma almost spat out a mouthful of water. “Pervert, why are you thinking about that?” 

Liam had not slept with her for the past few nights. 

He did so for a similar reason. Liam was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would tire Emma out before the competition. 

Emma was not too worried about the results of tomorrow’s competition. However, she had to be fully focused to deal with the King’s Association. 

Before going to bed, Emma wore the special black opal necklace that Liam had given her. 

She closed her eyes and gently stroked the rose gold pendant with her fingers. 

There was a small button on the side of the pendant.

Tomorrow, as soon as I reach the finish line–push this button. She reminded herself. 

After all these years, the feud between her and the King’s Association was going to come to 

o an end… 

The next day, Emma woke up and was taken to the competition venue to warm up. 

08.53 Mon, Jul 22 

The Krot Competition was a world–class competition that seriously implemented individual track races. 

Emma and Erza participated in the women’s and men’s 400m steeplechase races, respectively. It was similar to what she had done in her first monthly exam at Charon Military School. 

It was a beautiful day. The sky was clear, and there was no wind or rain. 

Emma followed the other athletes to the track. 

She was in lane 3, which was the same lane Justine was in. 

Emma slowed down her breathing before the race began. 

As the gunshot sounded, she ran with so much energy. She was a few meters ahead of the other participants from the beginning. 

“Good job!” Emma’s coach shouted. 

When the coach saw Emma’s start, he stood up excitedly in the technical area. 

“Good job. Emma, come on!” 

The coach could not control the excitement in his heart. 

‘If nothing goes wrong, Emma will win Charon Military School’s first gold medal in the Krot Competition!” He firmly believed this.
