Nancy, aware that discrimination due to skin color and appearance exists, never thought that such simple courtesy as giving up a place in line would be met with such nasty treatment.

Raising her uninjured right hand holding her number card, she looked up fearlessly at the woman ten centimeters taller than herself and said confidently.

"There are still ten minutes before the competition starts. I arrived at the venue on time and haven't broken any rules. Please open your eyes and see clearly, I'm number seventy-eight, ahead of you, so you must let me pass!"

As she spoke, a proud light flashed in her amber eyes, "I haven't broken any rules, but you've been rude to me. Is this the quality of your so-called great nation?"

The blonde woman was taken aback, clearly not expecting Nancy to confront her directly. After scrutinizing Nancy, she shouted angrily, "What kind of insolent creature are you? Suddenly speaking up and defying me!?"

She pointed at Nancy's forehead, threatening viciously, "I warn you, this is my turf. Either go to the back or I'll call the staff to kick you out, and you'll lose your chance to compete!"

"Ooh, I'm so scared..."

Nancy feigned weakness and helplessness, but then her mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"No matter where it is, there's always a reason. I really don’t believe you can kick me out from here!"

The blonde woman was furious and shouted at a staff member maintaining order, "Reid, come here!"

The staff member, hearing her call, hurried over, "Amy, what's wrong?"

The blonde woman looked at Nancy with disdain, pointing at her, "She's disrupting the order, trying to jump the queue. Kick her out!"

Nancy’s brows furrowed instantly, holding up her number card in front of Reid, "I'm number seventy-eight, I'm supposed to be here. I didn't jump the queue!"

Reid didn’t even glance at Nancy's number card and pushed her arm, "Who allowed you to jump the queue? I’m officially telling you, you’re disqualified. Get out!"

Nancy stared incredulously at the staff member, unable to utter a word.

The blonde woman crossed her arms smugly, looking at Nancy as if watching a clown, laughing mockingly, "Heh, weren't you going to reason with me? Go on, I'm listening!"

Damn it!

Nancy couldn't help but curse in her mind. These people were blatantly bullying outsiders.

Instead of turning back, she called out loudly, "Honey!"

The blonde woman and Reid laughed upon hearing her call.

"Hahaha..."

The blonde woman covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably, "You fool, I already said this is my turf. Even if you call your husband, father, or grandfather, it won’t change the fact that I'm kicking you out!"

As her words fell, a man in an expensive handmade suit walked up and stood beside Nancy.

He stood tall at 6'10", his deep eyes like a snake's, coldly staring at the blonde woman.

"What’s your name?"
