Master Josiah approached excitedly. He wanted to shake hands with Bertha but was stopped by Venn.
This did not make him feel awkward, his eyes were still filled with admiration, and looked towards Bertha, asking. "I see that your martial arts are very unique. Are you the only student of the famous master Salome?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall looked at Bertha in shock.
"Even Levi lost. It turns out she's Master Salome's student."
"No wonder she's so arrogant."
The people who had previously scolded Bertha for being both ignorant and extravagant, now they were competing to flatter her.
Master Josiah said flatteringly. "Miss. Bertha, I wonder if you are interested in joining our national martial arts association and taking on the position of vice president of City X's branch?"
Hearing that, Rose and Mrs. Victoria were angry.
Rose originally wanted Bertha to fail miserably, but she won the match and was invited to join the martial arts association. Even the taciturn master Josiah spoke up and let her become the vice president.
A girl with no identity, what makes her so lucky?
At a time when Rose was jealous of Bertha, Bertha remained expressionless, she rejected Josiah. "No, I'm not interested."
The whole hall was buzzing.
The National Martial Arts Association is a place where people in the martial arts world want to enter.
An ordinary girl like Bertha can get a high position like vice president of the association, this is a position that many people don't dare to think about.
But she refused?
Josiah shook his head in frustration, he thought the teenager was arrogant now.
Under the stage, when Zillah heard that Bertha was Salome's student, she kept dialing her phone, her expression extremely serious, not knowing what she was busy with.
Rose looked at her and said angrily. "Sister Zillah, your idea failed. That bitch will become more and more arrogant in the future."
Zillah was concentrating on looking at her cell phone when a cunning smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Don't rush, this isn't over yet."
Rose didn't understand. She was about to wonder when Zillah stood up and eloquently condemned Bertha.
"Everyone, don't be fooled by her. She could never have been Salome's student."
She said as she walked up to the stage and took the microphone from Olwen's hand.
The whole hall was bewildered.
Josiah is also extremely confusing. "What do you mean? I saw her technique, it is indeed Salome's exclusive jiu-jitsu."
Bertha just stood silently on the right corner of the stage, she smiled and looked at Zillah, she didn't explain anything.
Up until now, she had never said that she was Salome's student, but these people themselves talked about her like that.
"Kid?"
Venn also stood next to Bertha and spoke to her in a low voice, with something to say in his eyes.
Bertha understood what he meant, she signaled him not to care.
She wanted to see what Zillah was trying to do.
Zillah listened to Master Josiah's question. She was confused and took the microphone to speak. "When I was studying abroad, I was lucky enough to meet Master Salome once. The student she brought with her at that time was a boy."
"Because to confirm this, I intentionally contacted my friends just now, finding out that Master Salome's student is someone close to her. That's why she especially accepted him as her disciple."
"The girl currently standing on this stage, whether in terms of gender or status, she is completely unsuitable."
What she said was true, Master Josiah had some doubts.
"But the moves she did just now were clearly..."
Zillah interrupted him. "It's obvious she stole lessons from someone else."
The stage below suddenly became bustling, starting to discuss the words Zillah made.
The act of stealing lessons is considered extremely blatant in the martial arts world, even more fierce than Levi's sneak attack.
If you are discovered, you will not only be blacklisted but may also be chased and beaten by people in the martial arts world. They will cut off your legs to make you a disabled person.
Zillah saw that the whole hall was talking enthusiastically, and she continued to add. "Think about it everyone, this girl's identity is unclear, her identity is too different from Master Salome's. Therefore, she must have stolen Master Salome's lessons, she's truly shameless."
At a time when the atmosphere throughout the scene was serious, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
Zillah turned her head to look at Bertha who was smiling, she asked suspiciously. "What are you laughing at?"
Bertha retracted her smile. Even though she wore sports clothes, she still made people feel the arrogant aura emanating from her body.
She speaks. "Miss. Zillah is so positive, aren't you afraid of being humiliated?"
Zillah looked at Bertha who was still calm, she even mocked her back, Zillah gritted her teeth, she was determined to make Bertha lose face in front of everyone.
"Okay, then let's see who is the one who is humiliated in the end."
After she finished speaking, she took out her phone to call one of her friends. After contacting the other person, Zillah got Salome's phone number.
Then, under everyone's witness, she directly dialed Salome and turned on speakerphone mode.
The prolonged ringing of the bell made everyone stop breathing, the current atmosphere was extremely nervous and heavy.
Zillah threw a triumphant look at Bertha. "If you admit right now that jiu-jitsu was stolen by you, then apologize to everyone here and say you're a fraud, then I can look into it and forgive you."
She paused for a moment, proudly shaking the phone in her hand. "You only have a few seconds left to think. You must be scared right now, right?"
Bertha parted her lips and smiled. She didn't say anything, continuing to look at Zillah with eyes like she was watching a clown perform.
Zillah hated that look in Bertha's eyes, but she was in front of everyone, including Venn, so she didn't dare say anything too aggressive.
