Chapter 463 Joans Proposal (1/2)

”Joan, you came just on time! I don't think we could have defeated him, even if the two of us worked together,” said Polly. Her eyes were flickering excitedly. She knew she was not strong enough to kill Anthony alone though she really wanted to. So she was just happy to see Joan come here.

”Are you guys all right? You look a bit weird,” Joan asked them, as she turned to look more closely at Zachary and Polly. Suspiciously, the two of them tensed almost at the same time.

”No!”

”Yes!”

Polly and Zachary answered in chorus, but their answers were out of sync. Polly grimaced at their dissonant answers, while Zachary remained impassive.

Meanwhile, Joan was surprised to hear two different answers. She immediately narrowed her eyes at them, and turned to Zachary who replied positively. ”Tell me what happened. Did you get hurt?”

”No, it's not me. It's her,” Zachary replied at once as he pointed at Polly, who glared at him in return.

”Me? Don't talk nonsense!” Polly immediately denied but refused to meet Joan's eyes.

”I think you have to quit the strength contest right away,” said Zachary seriously all of a sudden.

”What? No way! I will not quit unless I am eliminated!” Polly protested. There was no way she would give up, not when she believed that she could still fight.

”If you don't quit, Anthony might take revenge on you,” Zachary insisted. His eyes narrowed in concern, as he wondered what sinister plan Anthony would come up with this time.

”That's none of your business,” Polly huffed at him.

”How could it be none of my business? Have you forgotten what happened before? Do you want that kind of thing to happen again? Of course, I don't mind it. I'm just worried that you may not want that,” said Zachary with a wicked smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Polly.

Polly was rendered speechless. Zachary's concern was reasonable because she also believed that Anthony wouldn't give up that easily, and he was probably planning his revenge at that moment.
