Chapter 284

“I bet she’s become famous overnight!”

“Truly outstanding!”

“I came here expecting a disaster, but who knew she’d impress me so much?”

“No kidding. I’m starting to like Calliope too!”

“She’s amazing. I’d love to pet a tiger myself, but there’s no way I’d dare!”

“All we can do is envy her. I wonder what a tiger’s fur feels like!”

Yara decided not to push any further. Since the tiger had already surrendered to Calliope, there was no need to waste more time.

“Alright, you’ve passed. You can come out now,” Yara said, opening the gate.

Calliope sat confidently on the tiger, arms folded. “I’m not coming out until you officially say I’ve passed.”

Yara sighed, exasperated.

“Am I that kind of person?” Yara rolled her eyes. “Fine, you’ve passed. Let’s not drag it out any longer. Everyone here can vouch for you. I won’t go back on my word!”

“Good enough for me.”

After that, Calliope stood up from the tiger and exited the cage.

The tiger let out a deep sigh, making everyone around burst into laughter. Who would’ve thought a tiger could get exasperated by a woman?

“So, there’s one last challenge, right?” Calliope said as she walked alongside Yara. “You did say you’d return Silas to me after the final challenge.”

“Yes, I did. I’ll keep my word.”

“Do you think you can handle it?” Yara asked with a raised eyebrow.

Calliope replied casually, “Guess we’ll see.”

Yara soon brought Calliope to face a group of men. “At first, I thought this might be too challenging for you, but now, I’m unsure. I won’t make it any easier.”

Yara gestured to the men–each one a master in their field. There was a boxing champion, wrestling expert, and MMA champion. Despite their varied appearances, their skills were top-notch, each having earned global martial arts titles.

The crowd murmured, recognizing these renowned fighters.

“This one’s going to be tough!”

“Yeah. These guys are world-class champions. They’re no joke!”

“Can Calliope actually take them on?”

“If she does, it’ll be astonishing! These guys are really famous.”

“But I don’t think she can. Fighting martial artists is different from dealing with animals like alligators and tigers. Martial arts are about agility, precision, and speed. Strength alone won’t cut it here.”

“Exactly. It seems a bit too much.”

The crowd was skeptical, but Calliope remained unfazed, sizing up her new opponents.

“Do you need a change of clothes?” Yara asked, eyeing Calliope’s elegant, albeit short, dress and her high heels.

“Nope, let’s get this over with.”

Calliope shrugged off her jacket and returned it to Wynton, who had lent it to her earlier.

“Thanks,” she said with a nod.
