Thunder Guild obviously did their homework on the Firefly Club; they didn't want to go head-to-head with Xu Xiaojun, so they threw this fight right from the start. They were pinning all their hopes on the last two matches.
Anyone with a bit of strength could tell that Nie Siyan was not as capable as Xu Xiaojun. And the last contestant, Wang Tao, had never made a move before. So, they had reason to suspect that Wang Tao was even weaker.
On the other side, Thunder Guild.
It was indeed similar to what Wang Tao had imagined; this was the tactic they had devised.
"When it's your turn to fight, don't go up against that hulking guy in armor; you can't beat him. Just concede right away, and you'll avoid a beating,"
the Gang Leader instructed the others.
"Yes!"
"Then it'll be me against that bitch Nie Siyan! As the Gang Leader of Thunder Guild, battling with her, the president, won't diminish my status. But I'm going to beat the shit out of her! Not giving her a chance to surrender!"
