Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 274 Death on Stage

When Xu Weiwei returned to her seat, she found that her father was talking to a strange man, and that man was the middle-aged man she almost bumped into just now.

This time, his gaze stayed on Xu Weiwei for two more seconds, and then he asked, "Your daughter?"

Seaforth said "hmm".

“It’s already this big.”

Sifos said nothing, and the man didn't seem to expect Sifos to say anything, so he just walked away slowly.

Xu Weiwei felt a little puzzled, "Dad, who is this person?"

"The eldest son-in-law of the Marin family."

"The Ma Lin family?" Xu Weiwei felt it sounded familiar.

McQueen leaned out from the next door, resting his arms on his knees and said, "Do you know Hena who has been pestering your father? She is from the Marin family. They have two daughters, Hena is the second oldest, and she is still unmarried because of her unrequited love for your father. The eldest married the man just now. It would be more accurate to say that she married into the family."

"That man's family doesn't have much power. He won the heart of his current wife when he was in college, and then he joined the Marin family's business and rose higher and higher. He should be at the center of power now."

"He has a very good relationship with his wife and has never been involved in any scandals. Although I don't know if it's true or not, it's undeniable that he is a smart man."

Xu Weiwei listened carefully, nodding from time to time. After her uncle finished speaking, she asked, "Is there no man in their family?"

McQueen laughed twice, then said with a gloating look, "Their family has always been small, with only one son. In this generation, there is no son at all, only two daughters."

"Unfortunately, my two daughters have no children. The eldest daughter did give birth to a child a few years ago, but unfortunately she didn't keep the baby, and there has been no news since then."

"The situation is now very clear. The Ma Lin family's property will most likely fall into the hands of outsiders in the future. The eldest daughter is married but has no children, leaving only the youngest daughter, Hena. Whoever can marry her and become the second son-in-law of the Ma Lin family, and then make her pregnant, will directly become the 'emperor' in the future."

"Are there a lot of people chasing after her?" Xu Weiwei asked.

"Yes, but there's nothing I can do about it. Hena is so stubborn that she only likes your dad. She doesn't like anyone else except him. Hahahahahaha!"

Sifos's eyes flew over with murderous intent, wishing he could sew McQueen's mouth shut. He wanted to see his wife's expression, but he didn't dare to. He could only sit there stiffly.

McQueen continued, "Old Marlin probably saw this clearly when he wanted to match his youngest daughter with his brother-in-law. The family business will be handed over to outsiders anyway. Instead of trying to climb up the social ladder, it's better to look up and find a strong partner."

"But considering how stubborn that woman Hena is, she won't be willing to be with someone she doesn't like. In the end, we still have to rely on this eldest son-in-law."

Xu Weiwei thought: This is too lucky... This man has reached the top overnight. He doesn't need to fight or compete. He just needs to wait for the fruits to fall into his pocket.

"Does my father know him?" She remembered that their two families didn't seem to have much friendship. Not only that, her grandmother and her great-grandmother even disliked him.

"I don't know him." Sifos denied.

"This guy is a bit weird. He said he came to watch the game, but I didn't see him in the audience. It's not normal for him to come and talk to me. We had no contact before, but he asked us when we came and what fun places we went to..."

"It seems like he is very familiar with him, inexplicably." Sifos commented. "Who cares? Let's continue watching the game."

Unable to figure out the reason, Seaforth simply stopped thinking about it and everyone turned their attention to the stage.

The first half of the individual competition has already decided the top four and the rest. Next, we need to continue to compete to determine the first, second, and third place to determine the ranking. The competition uses a points system, which is related to the win or loss of each game and the final ranking. The team with the highest points in the end will be the champion of this season.

Standing on the stage at this time was the captain of the "Daydreamer" team that Kane hated so much. He had already appeared once before and it was obvious that he had some strength, but his opponent also performed well. It was hard to say who would win or lose in this match.

As the battle horn sounded, the two men launched their attacks at the same time. Panoramic and close-up shots of the two men's battle began to appear on the big screen.

Xu Weiwei frowned as her eyes inadvertently swept across one of the enlarged facial close-ups. Her experience told her that there was something wrong with this man.

Before the game started, the man's face was pale and dull, but now his cheeks were flushed, including the small part of his neck that was exposed, which also looked congested. And there were more red bloodshot in his eyes.

It was a bit of a stretch to say that he was hot. The air conditioning in the stadium was very strong, and she had to cover herself with a blanket. And it had been at least 40 minutes since his last match. He had just played now, so there was no reason why he had been exercising for the past 40 minutes, right?

Moreover, the red from the heat is healthy and even, which is different from his sickly red. The dryness in the man's expression also proves this point.

"Brother, he might really be taking drugs." Xu Weiwei leaned over and whispered in Kane's ear.

"Look! I'll tell you! How did you figure that out?"

"Uh... intuition. He doesn't look right."

The two of them were talking quietly here, but they didn't really want to do anything. They weren't righteous enough to meddle in any trivial matters. This was just a pastime for them.

The opponents on the stage also felt this and became serious. After a long period of dealing with each other, the styles of the teams have been clearly understood. Which team has better weapons and equipment; which team likes to use unexpected tactics; which team has an endless stream of banned drugs, and the committee bans one after another.

After taking the drugs, the man seemed tireless, his attack was fierce and uninterrupted. The opponent gradually couldn't hold on, but he was unwilling to lose to someone who was not as good as him, so he gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.

However, his own strength was gradually exhausted, while his opponent was still in peak condition. In this situation, even defense became difficult and his injuries increased.

Xu Weiwei saw the captain of the team being beaten constantly making gestures outside the court, signaling his players to surrender.

The team member also saw it, but he didn't want to admit defeat. If he was not as skilled as the other player, then he would admit it. He would not accept being asked to bow down to such a despicable person.

The man roared, ready to fight back, but the next second, the blade broke through his armor, pierced through his chest, and stabbed out from his back.

The man's movements stopped, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.

The whole audience was in an uproar. Although weapons have no eyes, accidents are inevitable in such competitions, and everyone signed a waiver agreement before going on stage, but actual deaths are rare.

The captain's eyes were red, and he slapped the transparent wall of the energy field uncontrollably, trying to rush to the stage. He didn't expect his team members to be so stubborn.
