"Oh... Alright then," Niki responded.
Niki initially wanted to find her son, but she found it difficult to move away from the exciting duel in the center of the arena. 'Is it déjà vu? Why is this scene so familiar?' she wondered.
Niki could not help but stand still, somewhat dazed, but with a sense of familiarity. Afraid of blocking others' view, she found a place and gradually sat down.
In the middle of the arena, it seemed that they had reached the final stage of the competition. People were discussing the competition.novelebook.com "Preston seems powerful. He's ranked tenth on The Hunter's leaderboard now."
"It's no use. Zeke is in first place. The last time he lost was five years ago, and to the previous first place, Lucifer."
Unexplainably, the name Lucifer struck a chord in Niki's heart. This name flashed a scene of memories in her mind for a fleeting moment.
Niki felt short of breath and turned to look at the people on stage. The big screen zoomed in on the face of the two duelists. Niki felt that these two faces seemed all too familiar.
'What's going on?' Just as she was lost in thought, a little guy suddenly clung to her leg.
"Mommy! You're here to watch the competition too?!" Nolan pouted cutely while clinging to her leg mischievously.
Niki's attention instantly shifted to Nolan, clearing all her discomfort. She turned a blind eye to Nolan wooing and flicked his forehead. "You dare smile!"
"You're still young. You'll have plenty of chances in the future," Niki said. Her manner relaxed slightly. After being at the arena personally, she realized that Nolan was not the only one longing for this competition.
"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was wrong. But since I'm already here, can I finish watching the rest of the competition? This is the finals,"novelebook.com Nolan begged with a pitiful act.
Niki looked at him with a face of helplessness. Checking the time, she noticed they still had an hour, while the competition was going to finish in half an hour. So, she might as well stay and watch.
"Alright, just half an hour. After that, we have to leave. Your sister is still waiting for us at home." Niki agreed to his request. Despite feeling bad about leaving her daughter alone for the previous two days, she was happy to fulfill her son's request this time.
Nolan quickly jumped for joy and exclaimed, "Yay! Thank you, Mommy!"
