Slumdog Billionaire Husband

Chapter 383 Backstage

Gerald walked backstage. After passing through the corridor, there was a huge hall. The backstage of the arena was quite huge. With more than 400 people inside, it was not crowded at all. They sat or stood in groups. Some were dressed in tight uniforms, while some dressed loosely. The common point of these clothes was that they were good for moving.

All of them were here to participate in the game.

They talked with the people beside them. At the same time, they looked around from time to time, observing their opponents.

Gerald dressed normally, just like other middle–aged men here. Besides, his look was ordinary. Naturally, no one paid special attention to him.

He sat in a corner. As he glanced at those who were whispering, he smiled in his heart.

Only a few people among them could survive in the end.

Just then, a woman noticed Gerald and walked towards him.

Gerald looked up and down at her. His eyes could not help but light up. She was probably from another country. She was good–looking and in good shape. She was more than five feet tall. With a pair of slender legs, few people could look away from her. Carrying a large broadsword on her back, she had a hat on her head. She walked to Gerald step by step in tight clothes.

The woman looked down at Gerald and asked, “Hello, may I ask which you are in?”

Gerald stared at the smile on her face. She seemed to be friendly.

However, Gerald did not think that she would maintain it for a long time. It was only temporary.

To compete with more than 400 people, no one would be kind–hearted.

“Group C,” Gerald said.

The woman’s eyes lit up slightly. Then, she reached out a hand and said to Gerald, “What a coincidence! I am also in group C. My name is Ellamae Belen, and I have just reached the top level.”

Gerald nodded. “I’m Gerry Kenneth.”

Ellamae was surprised at Gerald’s calm. Unlike other men, he seemed not to be swayed by her beauty at all. Ellamae came up with an idea.

She put down the broadsword and sat down next to Gerald.

Gerald glanced at the saber in astonishment. The saber was definitely heavy, and it would be troublesome to use it. Based on the saber, he could roughly guess what kinds of skills the woman might use.

Ellamae asked, “Gerry, what level are you? Do you want to team up with me?”
