BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89 - Unexpected
Chapter 89: Unexpected
Seeing that Xavier had spoken, Chris did not dare to say anything else.
He could only look at Steve and Jayden hatefully and walk toward the death row.
At Cole’s instructions, the people behind Chris began to explain the matter to him.
It was simple.
Cole wanted to provoke Chris Hayes.
He wanted Chris to have a taste of being used as a bargaining chip before dying.
Just like Cole had in their previous encounter.
“Go on.”
Cara looked at Cole and assured him.
“Okay.”
Cole nodded.
Their goodbyes were brief.
The reason was that Cara believed that Cole would return.
Cole also believed that he would return.
He walked toward the arena.
An inspector came up to search him.
Simone was also checked at another place.
They were separated.
This way, they couldn’t see the other party’s inner armor, hidden weapons, and other weapons.
“Checked. No firearms.”
“Check done…”
The two inspectors spoke at the same time.
Seeing this, Xavier nodded slightly and sat down at the head of the table. “Both parties, take your positions.”
Cole and Simone slowly walked onto the stage.
At this moment, their bodies had already started to heat up.
They did not speak again.
Every step that followed was crucial. It would be the stupidest move if one wasted the chance to lock onto the other party’s movements by opening their mouth.
However, Simone’s eyes were filled with mockery and killing intent.
Cole was destined to lose to her.
So what if he insulted Fred Yeager just now?
Cole was still useless in front of her.
Cole, on the other hand, was expressionless. His thoughts were frozen. Only Simone was in front of him!
Then, the true energy in his body quietly circulated.
While training with his master, he had wanted to fight back more than once.
However, the only time he had hurt his master was when he was the calmest.
A battle between martial artists could not be won by hot-bloodedness.
He had to seize the opportunity and attack accurately.
This was the way to defeat the enemy!
“Please adjust your state.”
Xavier said calmly.
Under the might of the leader of the Sky Sea Martial Alliance, the entire arena seemed especially quiet.
No one dared to speak at this moment.
Ten seconds later….
Simone and Cole remained still.
“Begin.”
Xavier said calmly.
Bang!
A deafening explosion instantly rang in the arena.
Dozens of purple needles rushed toward Cole’s face.
Poisoned hidden weapons.
Hugh’s face instantly darkened when he saw this. “Simone really didn’t hold back. She went all out right from the start.”
Even he had to be careful when dealing with such hidden weapons.
Fred Yeager sneered and gritted his teeth. “Cole, don’t die so easily…”
“Let’s see how you hide.”
Jayden Hayes sneered.
The flying needles reached Cole.
His expression did not change.
Under everyone’s gaze, Cole closed his eyes.
This stunned everyone, and they sneered.
Is Cole crazy?
Is he trying to show off?
Does he think he’s handsome?
Simone’s expression changed drastically.
Cole closed his eyes and floated around like a willow.
All the poisonous needles missed.
How is that possible?!
Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
How could this movement technique dodge the poisonous needles?
On the other hand, Xavier, who was sitting at the head of the table, became interested. “Interesting.”
When Simone saw Cole dodge the silver needles, her face darkened and she went forward.
Before Cole could adjust, she wanted to shatter his defense.
True energy surrounded her palm.
A faint blue light appeared in Simone’s palm.
She released her true energy!
With a strong blow, Simone went straight for Cole’s heart.
Cara was expressionless, but she clenched her fists.
“Simone, you haven’t fought for too long.”
However, Cole, who had his eyes closed, smiled at this moment.
This stunned Simone, and she got an ominous feeling.
Cole swung his hand.
Bang!
An explosion that sounded like a bullet being fired resounded throughout the stadium.
More than ten embroidery needles shot toward Simone’s face.
You used silver needles on me?
Then I’ll use embroidery against you!
Seeing the thick purple color of the needles, the poison expert Simone instantly sensed that the other party’s attack was dangerous.
If she were to hit Cole with this palm strike, would Cole, who was good at physical training, die?
But she was bound to be poisoned.
She could only grit her teeth and retract her strength, forcefully relying on her movement technique to dodge the hidden weapons.
Bang!
The hidden weapons landed.
Simone’s face turned pale.
This was the backlash of forcefully retracting her true energy.
She was at a disadvantage!
Everyone’s expressions changed when they saw this scene.
In the first round, Simone is actually at a disadvantage?!
Steve’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
How is that possible?
Hugh smiled. “Mr. Stone is indeed experienced in combat.”
Cara Williams asked. “Why do you say that?”
She was also relieved.
“He’s excellent at making use of others.” Hugh did not explain too much.
Cole did not give Simone a chance.
After Simone suffered a backlash, Cole did not stop. He directly struck her heart.
The commotion was terrifying.
All out!
However, this seemingly ferocious attack made Simone, who had suffered a backlash, overjoyed.
This kid is courting death!
Does he think that he can fight me head-on just by using hidden weapons to force me back?
Dream on!
Simone raised her hand and slammed her palm toward Cole with an even more ferocious might.
The expressions of the people of the Hayes and the Yeager families finally improved when they saw this.
As long as the two fighters competed in true energy, Cole would definitely lose.
But at this moment…
Xavier and Hugh laughed.
They could tell what Cole was going to do.
Cole smiled when he saw Simone attack.
The next moment…
He flipped his useless hand, and a packet of quicklime appeared.
Then, he threw it.
Sizzle!
After that, Cole grunted and retreated crazily.
It was impossible for him to exchange palm strikes with Simone after sprinkling the quicklime. To change the circulation route of his true energy, he could not help but be injured.
But he had no choice.
To make Simone believe that he had used his full strength and that she was the one willing to fight him, he could only do this.
At this moment…
“Ah!”
Simone was in pain.
The quicklime sprinkled on her eyes, weakening her vision.
She endured the pain and retreated.
If she were an expert like Hugh, her true energy could isolate the quicklime outside.
But…
Her true energy could not leave her body, so she could only endure the quicklime.
Seeing this scene, Jayden immediately slammed the table and roared, “Cole, you’re f*cking despicable! Who would use such a weapon in a life-or-death battle?!”
“In a life-or-death battle, other than conventional means, everything else is fine.”
However, Xavier scolded him coldly, “Anyone who disturbs the order of the life-or-death battle will be judged as the loser.”
Poisoned hidden weapons were acceptable.
What was quicklime?
Jayden’s expression was ugly, but he could only shut his mouth.
Except…
Xavier could not help but laugh.
He had been in this position for so many years, but this was the first time he saw someone bring these uncommon weapons onto the stage.
Perhaps it was because the people from the six families thought highly of themselves and never used these weapons that they felt were inferior!
For example, Simone was not even prepared for this.
Xavier shook his head.
Thrive in trouble; die in peace!
