In room 47, Jennifer Wildenstein stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.
Since it was still the knockout stage, the NHSAA committee had set up eight arenas in the huge stadium. This meant that all the contestants had to enter the arena in advance and be exposed to the 60,000 spectators.
At this moment, Jennifer Wildenstein's gaze was focused on Li Mochen. She didn't look away for even a moment.
However, she wasn't the only one in this huge room. There were more than a dozen well-dressed young men and women sitting in the room.
"That's our cousin, André, right? He looks so stupid. "
"You've seen him on TV, right? It's too much to say that he's stupid. He's still very pretty. I can only say that this guy's temperament is very similar to those idiots from the countryside. "
"His hair is black, and so are his eyes. They're pure black. He looks so disgusting."
"He's a mixed-blood bastard. Why is he allowed to keep the surname 'Wildenstein'?"
"That's where you're wrong. He doesn't even want this surname. He tried to change his name to the Social Security Bureau a few times, but the family stepped in to stop him. "
"Why? I've always been curious. Why is this guy on the inheritance list? "
"I'm not sure. It's said that two elders insisted. They're very close to Elena. Don't underestimate him. Maybe he can be accepted by the elders with a simple awakening ceremony. We have one here, don't we? "
"Will this guy win today? I'm very curious. Recently, the news has been reporting about him every day. Something doesn't seem right. "
"I've sent people to investigate this matter. Someone is indeed adding fuel to the fire. However, the results of the investigation made me even more confused. It's Penguin Gambling and Arcadia. "
"Arcadia? This was surprising. Both sides seemed to be full of confidence. Let's make a bet. Ten thousand gold shields. I bet that our cousin will kneel down and surrender to him, just like James Lance said. "
"In that case, I'll also bet 10,000 gold duns. To be honest, I don't like this guy wearing the surname 'Wildenstein' in the arena, but I'm more optimistic about Lance."
"Ten thousand. I bet he admitted defeat before the match started."
"Hehe, are they all betting on Lance? He's our cousin and Jennifer's brother, isn't he? Don't go too far — "
Jennifer Wildenstein had been watching quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window until her smoking addiction kicked in. Then, she walked out of the private room.
Not long after she left, someone among the group of youngsters sneered.
"Ha, this bitch finally left."
"She even wants to compete for the inheritance of the consortium. Does she really think she can be considered a Wildenstein? The yellow blood in her bones can't be washed away. She's as disgusting as her brother. "
"You don't know how powerful she is in the company. Just because she has some achievements, she acts so arrogant in front of us. Who does she think she is?"
"She's very thick-skinned. Doesn't she know that she's not welcome here?"
Jennifer Wildenstein didn't know about the subsequent discussion in the private room. She walked to the smoking area and lit a cigarette. Then, she saw two groups of people walking over from two different directions.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but the one on the left was "Dwight Payton" who had spoken to her a few weeks ago. The one on the right was "Abraham Archibald," the president of Acadis Sporting Goods Company in the southeast region.
Therefore, after seeing this scene, even Jennifer pricked up her ears and looked at the two people in front of her curiously.
These two sporting goods companies were currently the two largest companies in the whole of America. Acadis had a long history, and its business spanned across both the old and new continents. On the other hand, Nathan Sports Group, which was born out of Naessen's military-industrial complex, was a rising star and very competitive.
Now, in the whole of America, Naessen and Acadis were fighting for sports superstars and sales.
There was no lack of good shows when the executives of both sides were together.
This time, Dwight Payton took the initiative to extend his hand to the president of Acadis's southeast region. "What a coincidence, Mr. Archibald. Are you also here to watch the seventh round? For André and James? "
"For André and James."
Abraham Archibald also smiled in response. "I have to congratulate you. I heard that you found a lucky guy, is that so?"
Dwight's lips instantly curled up. "He is indeed very lucky, and he will continue to be lucky."
"That's not necessarily true. It's impossible for people to always get what they want. Our James didn't meet with any accidents this time, did he?"
Abraham laughed with a fake smile. "Your Naessen must have spent a lot of money on him, right? Almost seven million gold duns in total? As expected of your Naessen, spending money without hesitation. Does your board of directors know about this, Paton? "
"Yes, of course they know. They even questioned me about this three weeks ago, so it's still a little stressful."
Dwight replied calmly. "But after today, they will realize that this investment is completely worth it. Furthermore, it's not as much as seven million. The house itself won't depreciate. On the other hand, your Acadis must have spent at least four million gold duns on the media this time, right? "
"Since your Naessen wants to stir up trouble, we naturally have to go with the flow."
Abraham chuckled. "I believe that before today, you must have never truly understood James. That kid's potential is limitless. So I'm sorry, but I heard that you prepared a large amount of goods in advance? To be honest, this is not a good idea. As a professional manager, this is too risky. It's very likely that you will lose your job. You should know that James has one bad thing about him, and that is that he likes to humiliate people in the arena too much. I hope the outcome this time won't be so terrible. "
"We are not the only ones who are preparing, right?"
Dwight continued to smile faintly and took the initiative to step aside. "Buddy, what we are doing now is useless, isn't it? Let the facts speak for themselves. We will see the result in forty minutes, won't we? "
Abraham Archibald's eyes narrowed slightly. He fixed his gaze on Dwight, then strode towards his private room.
Dwight Payton also left, but just as he passed by the smoking area, Jennifer suddenly asked, "Mr. Paton, are you sure that my brother can win?"
Dwight turned his head in surprise and laughed. "You must be Jennifer. This is the first time I've seen you in real life. Let's stick to what I said just now. About your brother, let's see the result in forty minutes, alright? You should know what kind of person I am. I will never waste my time on trash. "
