The reason why Ye Fan made this unnecessary move was actually because he wanted to give Tang Anni an amulet.
After all, the team competition was about to begin, and it was impossible for him to be by Tang Anni's side 24 hours a day.
Moreover, Annie Tang's new album will continue to be promoted in the United States, and it will have to stay for at least another month or two.
Now, with just one word from Ye Fan, the Gambino family has to protect her.
After today, Old William will probably send hundreds of bodyguards to secretly protect Tang Anni, for fear that if she makes any mistake, the family will suffer disaster.
"Go away!" Ye Fan said coldly.
After hearing this, Old William left with hundreds of family elites.
The lounge was empty, with only Mark and Tang Anni left.
Tang Anni also recovered from the fright, and quickly came to Ye Fan's side. With a look of disbelief on her pretty face, she asked: "Xiao Fan, what happened just now? The head of the Gambino family,
Why am I like a mouse seeing a cat when I see you, so scared?"
"Haha..." Ye Fan laughed and said, "Annie, this is a secret! But don't worry, even if you can't walk sideways in the United States, no one will dare to hurt you!"
"Xiao Fan, thank you! Whenever I encounter danger, you will appear no matter where I am. You are my patron saint!" Tang Anni stared at Ye Fan affectionately, and her tone was a little more grateful than just gratitude.
Unexplainable feelings.
Looking at her pretty face and affectionate eyes, Ye Fan's cheeks turned slightly red and said: "Annie, it's getting late, I'll take you back to the hotel!"
"Yeah!" Tang Anni nodded.
The two of them quickly left the club and strolled through the streets of Las Vegas, surrounded by bright lights and gusts of night wind.
Suddenly, Tang Anni seemed to have mustered up the courage and took the initiative to hold Mark's hand.
"Huh?"
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her, a little surprised by this sudden move.
Tang Anni shyly moved her beautiful eyes away, embarrassed to look at him, but her pretty face suddenly turned red. The blush spread to the root of her neck, as if she had applied rouge, making her a little more charming.
"Um...it's too cold. Let me lend you your hand to keep warm!" Tang Anni said timidly, her voice as soft as a mosquito.
Ye Fan smiled slightly when he heard this, and held her slender hand tightly, his fingernails accidentally scratching her smooth palm.
An unprecedented feeling surged into Tang Anni's heart, as if an electric current was passing through her, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Sensing something strange about her, Ye Fan asked curiously: "Annie, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No...no..." Tang Anni shook her head quickly, but her cheeks turned even redder, almost bleeding.
In this way, the two held hands until they walked to the hotel where Tang Anni was staying.
"arrive!"
Ye Fan reminded.
"Yes!" Tang Anni nodded slightly, but she still had some unfinished meaning, as if she thought the journey was too short.
"Annie, go up and have a rest!" Ye Fan said.
"Xiao Fan, you must have been exhausted just now, why don't you go to my room to drink a glass of water and take a break!" Tang Anni invited.
"Haha... No need, how can those little guys tire me out?"
Ye Fan said and walked away into the distance without looking back.
Looking at his leaving back, Tang Anni clenched her small fist, stamped her feet angrily, and murmured to herself:
"Disgusting! This big idiot who doesn't understand amorous feelings is so stupid!"
…
Three days passed by in a flash, and soon it was time for the second round of the team competition.
After recuperating, Xie Jinyuan, Qin Zhengyang, and Tang Long were all adjusted to the best condition, full of energy, in high spirits, and ready to face the next competition.
Early in the morning, the Chinese delegation rushed to the Black Rock Desert.
Players from other countries also arrived early, but the number of people dropped sharply compared to the peak three days ago.
Only about a hundred people actually participated, representing their respective countries.
Many small countries only had one player qualify, and there were also many countries, such as Korea, whose entire army was wiped out and no one qualified.
The Zeus Team of the United States and the Atlantis Protoss stood on both sides of the venue, invisibly revealing a powerful aura, like water and fire, tit for tat.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain!
In the eyes of many people, the ultimate showdown in this martial arts tournament will be staged by these two forces.
At ten o'clock in the morning, all the contestants were present.
"Whoosh!"
Through holographic imaging technology, the figure of US Secretary of Defense Jefferson appeared in everyone's sight out of thin air.
Jefferson scanned the audience and said loudly: "Prime Minister, congratulations to all of you for representing your respective countries and entering the team competition. Your heroic figure will be remembered forever! The winner of this martial arts competition will receive supreme glory.
, dubbed 'the strongest in the world'!
In the second round of the team competition, countries will be used as a unit, and they will also adopt the knockout method, with two teams competing! Next, please draw lots for the second round!"
Because it was a confrontation between countries, the drawing of lots did not take long and ended quickly, with the results announced at the same time——
United States vs Siam.
England vs Atlantis.
Oil country vs kangaroo country.
…
Tsarism vs. China!
When they saw the final showdown, many players in the field showed subtle expression changes on their faces, as if they were waiting for the show.
Although China and the Tsarist Kingdom are not as good as the American Zeus Team and the Atlantis Protoss, they are still considered the two major seed teams and are very likely to reach the runner-up or third place.
But now, we met as early as the first round!
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
This is definitely a pinnacle battle. No matter which side is willing to lose, they will use their best skills to defeat their opponents.
In terms of numbers, the gene warriors of the Tsarist Kingdom had the advantage, with at least six of them, and they were very powerful. They performed outstandingly in the knockout rounds and defeated their opponents with an overwhelming advantage.
As for the Chinese delegation, Xie Jinyuan, Qin Zhengyang, and Tang Long are considered experts, but if they fight alone, they may not be sure of defeating the genetic warriors.
However, China still has the biggest uncertainty -
Ye Fan!
In the individual elimination round, Ye Fan's performance was really amazing. He crushed three powerful opponents with his invincible strength, and even broke the undefeated golden body of the Atlantis Protoss.
In the eyes of many people, Ye Fan is synonymous with legend.
A young genius emerges from nowhere and fits everyone's expectations of a "hero" so well that a superhero movie could be made based on him.
Even if Hua Xia is at a numerical disadvantage, with his presence, he might be able to turn the tide and create a miracle.
At this time, U.S. Secretary of Defense Jefferson spoke again:
"Everyone, please move back 1,000 meters in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest!"
When everyone heard the words, they followed it one after another.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the surrounding ground shook and dust flew, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
"Oh my god...it's not a floating arena, what's going on?" Someone in the venue immediately exclaimed.
The previous knockout matches all used floating arenas, which could hold ten matches at the same time.
But now, all I can see is that the area in front of me is flat, sunk downwards, and there is a giant underground arena, which is two thousand meters long and wide, and the area is extremely large.
Both the ground and the surrounding walls are made of some kind of metal material, with a faint gleaming brilliance. It looks extraordinary at first glance, as if it can withstand the bombing of missiles.
"Ahem..."
Jefferson coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and continued: "Everyone, the second round of knockout competition, because there are not many countries shortlisted, will be conducted one by one! In this giant venue covering an area of 400 hectares, everyone will
You can use your magical powers to your heart’s content! Next, the first game begins!”
The first few team matches were all conducted between small countries. There were only two or three people participating in the battle. They were not interesting at all and the battle ended in about ten minutes.
Soon, it was the turn of the game between Siam and the United States.
Although Siam had three Muay Thai champions shortlisted, they immediately chose to abstain and admit defeat.
Are you kidding me?
Even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to compete with Team Zeus.
If a war really breaks out, I'm afraid they will be brutally killed by mecha warriors before they can react.
After more than half an hour, it was finally the turn of the Tsarist Kingdom and China.
