My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 617

There are about fifty indirect descendants of the Turmann family, and only those in the top ten list of robotic competitions could sit and dine with the direct descendants. So the robotic competition became the only chance for the indirect descendants to become somebody.

Many people stood nervously under the stage. Because of the large number of participants, they would be divided into groups by ballot and compete for one-on-one. Since the total number was even, each group comprised two people.

Nicole sat on the judges' bench, flanked by Eber and Elijah, both of whom were sitting precariously looking down at rings with a very serious look on their faces.

There were five rings; one main ring and four sub-rings. Each had a mechanical barrier around to prevent people from being accidentally harmed outside the ring. There was a large screen that broadcasted the robotic combat live and displayed the data analysis.

Everyone waited with great excitement for Elijah to announce the start of the draw. Merry's expression remained unchanged; she kept looking at the entrance of the venue as if waiting for someone to arrive.

At last, she saw the door slowly open as Jared and Janus walked in. The moment she saw Jared, her face glowed. She straightened her back reservedly, making her stand out from the crowd. But Jared did not even spare a glance at her but looked straight at Nicole with a smile.

Janus was standing aside with tablets that had records of the data of the first and second generations of combat, ready to record all the data that would appear and surpass the combat data of the previous two generations.

Merry looked at Jared with an almost unstoppable flash of resentment in her eyes. She then looked at Nicole, who was sitting on the bench, and said coldly to Elijah, "I wonder what makes her qualify to be a judge."

Elijah frowned at Merry, who was filled with resentment. "Nicole is capable of it."
