A THICK FOG OF TREACHERY FILLED THE AIR.
While everyone else's focus lingered on Tory, the look of betrayal written on their faces, Chae's gaze was directed elsewhere.
Chae stared at the boy standing across from her, and he stared back at her. She could feel her heart racing. She had not seen him since she had left for America to be used as a pawn in her mother's and Terry Silver's sick game.
Chae shifted her eyes back to her mother, who seemed to be watching her—studying her—to see her reaction to seeing Kwon again. Chae felt a sudden touch on her arm, causing her to flinch. She turned, seeing Hawk looking at her with his eyebrows knitted together. He didn't have to say a word. The touch of his hand was his way of comforting her at the sight of her mother. But the look of confusion on his face? Chae knew that he was questioning why she had whispered Kwon's name.
Chae looked away from Hawk and across the room. She could not seem to do anything but stare. Her eyes kept shifting back and forth between the smug smile on Kwon's lips and the revelatory expression on her mother's face that she had once again managed to get under Chae's skin.
Chae felt sick to her stomach. She had the sudden urge to bolt out of the arena, but she knew that she couldn't. She didn't want to give her mother the satisfaction.
Further down the line of Miyagi-Do students, the Thirasawat twins exchanged a glance with each other. Neither of them had ever expected that they would see John Kreese again, yet he stood across the room like a ghost.
Achara could feel her heart rate rising by the second. It was thumping against her chest with an aggressive intensity, begging to break free. She could feel her legs beginning to shake. Her breath hitched, and she quickly darted her eyes to the floor. She could not look at Kreese for a second longer, fearing that her legs would buckle right out from under her or that she would begin to fall victim to a panic attack.
Achara felt a hand grab her own. She tilted her head to see Sam interlocking their fingers together. She looked at Sam, finding comfort in the smile on the girl's face. Sam gave Achara's hand a light squeeze. Achara felt more grounded knowing that Sam was by her side to comfort her, but the sharp ache in her chest from her heart pounding rapidly still remained.
The rest of the dojos filed in, and the audience claimed their seats in the stands. Gunther stood center stage and tapped the microphone in front of him with his finger, catching the attention of everyone in the room.
"Welcome, competitors, senseis, sponsors, and esteemed guests to Barcelona, this year's home of the world's greatest karate tournament, the Sekai Taikai," Gunther's voice rang out.
