Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 140: Commander Comes to Back Up His Wife
Only Mu Lei had a vague guess about what was going on.
"The Commander must have made such a big move only for Xiaowan," he thought.
Mu Lei felt relieved to see that Commander Gu could care so much for Xiaowan.
Watching the man sitting in the main seat, Mu Lei calmly announced, "The annual Empire University Mecha Competition, officially begins!" In the main control room, each person had a virtual screen before their eyes.
The screens first displayed all the competition arenas.
If someone was interested in a specific arena, they could just remember the arena number to zoom in and watch.
Commander Gu’s distinctly jointed, slender fingers tapped lightly.
The image of Arena No. 168 enlarged before his eyes.
It was clear to see the two contestants standing in the arena.
Contestant No. 922, a freshman from the Command Department, Su Wan.
Contestant No. 85, a junior from the Solo Combat Department, Molto.
In the eyes of most people, this was a match with no suspense.
The combat power of the Solo Combat Department’s students was always stronger than that of the Command Department’s.
Not to mention, it was a junior against a freshman.
And Su Wan had just transferred from another major to the military academy and had not attended many mecha classes.
Almost everyone believed that for Su Wan, this was an unwinnable match.
Molto was quite helpless, "Junior Sister, you might as well give up. I really don’t want to hurt you."
She was his roommate’s little sister, and also the wife of Commander Gu, and she was pregnant...
Most importantly, she was so beautiful!
How could he possibly force himself to fight her!
But he did not want to admit defeat, because no matter how, if Molto were to lose, he could not continue to stay in the military academy.
He would be the butt of jokes among his classmates until graduation.
The playboy Molto was extremely conflicted!
He hadn’t slept well since last night, constantly thinking about how to ensure victory without hurting his junior sister.
The key point was, he couldn’t even make her cry!
It was really too hard!
Su Wan ignored him and methodically pressed the button to summon her Mecha Vermilion Bird.
For the sake of convenience in fighting, Vermilion Bird transformed directly into its humanoid form, similar to those basic C-class mechas in appearance.
However, the black body with red patterns was still very conspicuous.
But Molto didn’t take it to heart.
He thought, it was understandable for a young girl to use a brightly colored mecha.
His last girlfriend’s mecha had even been pink.
In the Mecha Competition, one could use up to A-class mechas at most; even if the opponent was the Commander’s wife, exceeding the mecha class was not allowed.
Molto’s own mecha was also A-class.
Of course, he was confident that even with a C-class mecha, he could win against Su Wan’s A-class mecha.
Mu Xiaoge had long since defeated his opponent and immediately came over to Su Wan’s side, leaning his hands on the railing with a relaxed posture.
"Molto, you simply can’t beat Xiaowan, so stop your pointless chatter," he said.
It was Su Yun, who was also very interested in the match, standing by the side, frowning at Mu Xiaoge.
"Mu Xiaoge, are you just here to stir the pot? What if Xiaowan gets hurt?"
"If you’re really worried about Su Wan, you should convince Molto to just concede," replied Mu Xiaoge.
"Molto is an Interstellar Warrior in the making. How could he possibly concede?" said Su Yun.
Hearing this, the smile at the corner of Mu Xiaoge’s mouth turned cold.
"Molto is an Interstellar Warrior, and Xiaowan isn’t? Su Yun, aside from your double standards and snide remarks, can’t you do anything else?"
"I’m doing this for Xiaowan’s own good!" retorted Su Yun.
Just as the two were arguing, the mechs on the stage moved!
Molto, who had already been looking down on Su Wan, naturally didn’t give it his all at first. While a punch was heading towards Su Wan, he was still mumbling to himself.
"Junior, just give up, okay? How about you jump off the platform yourself?"
"Junior, your big brother really doesn’t have the heart to lay a hand on you."
"Junior... Holy shit!"
While Molto was rambling on, Su Wan deftly dodged several of his attacks and quickly moved behind him.
She controlled her mech, leaping up and delivering a kick straight to the back of Molto’s mech’s head!
Logically speaking, Molto should have been able to dodge an attack of this level.
But he didn’t spot Su Wan’s position immediately.
And because he vastly underestimated her, he believed she couldn’t deal any significant damage.
By the time he realized it, the head of his mech had already been kicked!
Due to inertia, the entire mech stumbled forward.
It barely stopped at the edge of the stage.
The dark red mech landed firmly and surged forward again, forcing Molto to hastily control his mech to dodge.
He dodged, but it was an embarrassing escape. The mech, which was meant to walk upright, was crawling on all fours!
As awkward as it gets!
Luo Jina and others immediately shouted in support, "Xiaowan, you’re amazing! Blow him up!"
Su Yun was slightly stunned, then said in a resigned tone, "That’s showing off too much!"
"This isn’t showing off, this is Xiaowan’s real strength! Su Yun, you’re really annoying, can you just go far away?" Mu Xiaoge said very bluntly.
Su Yun: "..."
On the other hand, Molto, who had lost the initiative, was retreating step by step!
It was only when the red mech’s assault paused that Molto finally took a breath.
He was panting heavily, "I didn’t see it coming, little sister Xiaowan. You really have some tricks up your sleeve! But, brother won’t go easy on you anymore!"
Su Wan: "Don’t call me sister. Besides, you don’t have a chance anymore."
"What?"
"You lost."
The dark red mech slowly stabilized itself, and the light shone on it, casting a golden glow.
Molto was startled. He tried to move the mech forward and then, with a clatter.
The mech’s head fell off!!!
Molto, now with his cockpit exposed, wore a dumbfounded expression!
It wasn’t just him who was stunned; even the surrounding people were dumbstruck!
Luo Jina rubbed her eyes and asked her companion, "Xiao’an, did you see what happened? Maybe their mech’s head wasn’t secured properly?"
Sheng An: "I didn’t see it clearly, but it definitely wasn’t a malfunction."
Before any mech contest, every student would check and repair their mechs.
There wouldn’t be such a simple issue as a malfunction.
"It was Xiaowan using her weapon to remove the mech’s head. Every move she made attacked a little, little by little, adding up," Mu Xiaoge said in a relaxed tone.
Of course, it was also because Molto was far too arrogant and didn’t care about Su Wan’s attacks at all.
One should never underestimate their opponent.
Luo Jina was extremely excited, "I recorded it just now. I’m going to watch the replay!"
Sheng An nodded in agreement, she wanted to watch it, too!
The shocked individuals weren’t just those present at the scene.
There were also the bigwigs in the main control room, behind the screens.
All those who had been paying attention to the match were extremely shocked by the outcome!
