BXBX NOVEL Chapter 285 Humiliating Loss
Bryan was driving to work while thinking of everything Leo had told him about Asaka when he had arrived at Eukerion with Tania.
Going into the portal wasn\'t going to be easy as they couldn\'t fly into it with a big plane, they needed something smaller that would be able to fly them in there.
He arrived at their base, parked his car in its normal parking spot, and quickly made his way into the base and to his office.
He opened the door to his office to find Layla sitting in front of the monitor going over the footage from this morning.
"You\'re a little late," Layla said with her gaze still on the monitor and her hands on the mouse.
"Yeah, I had to go over some things," Bryan said. "Did you find anything?"
"No," Layla said, turning the sweevil chair to face him. "The only thing that we know is that the portal appears there every morning, lasts for a minute, and turns off."
"Yeah, I already know that," Bryan said.
"Oh, I thought you needed a revision," Layla said, turning back to the monitor.
"Do you have any idea of how to get in there?" Bryan asked.
"No, but we can use drones to send the reply Tania\'s brother asked for," Layla said.
"I know that Layla but we need a way to get in there," Bryan said.
"Why?"
"Because that\'s a world that I was told had magical creatures, witches, and wizards and that world has a portal leading directly into ours," Bryan said.
"Ok, I get your point Bryan but if we manage to get there, what are we going to do?" Layla asked, turning to him.
"We find a way to shut down that portal, that is after Leo and Tania had been sent home," Bryan said.
"Ok, now the problem is how to get there," Layla said, stroking her chin. "We could get the special engineers working for the air force to build us something." She said abruptly.
"No Layla, they are going to ask what we need it for, and then somehow the air force is going to find out about the portal in the sky, we need to keep this between us for now," Bryan said.
"Oh, do you have a better idea then?" Layla said relaxing in her seat.
Bryan looked at her for a while before shaking his head.
Layla let out a sigh as she got up from the seat and that was when an idea popped into her head.
"I think there might be someone who may be able to help us, someone who isn\'t working with the military." Layla said. "I met him a few years ago and he is really good at building amazing things."
"Who?" Bryan asked.
"Michael Cone," Layla said.

The fight that was about to go down in the arena was going to be quite an interesting one.
This time it was George Freelyn, going up against another third-year student, Clara West.
The two were standing opposite each other down on the arena floor and were just waiting for the countdown.
It didn\'t take long before the countdown began and as soon as it had ended, George formed a lot of earth blades from the piece of earth he had pulled out from the ground and sent them all flying towards Clara at this time.
Clara didn\'t panic as she summoned her sword which she used to slash down some of the blades while avoiding the rest.
She did manage to get hit on her shoulder once but it was only a graze and you wouldn\'t even know as it didn\'t stop the flow of her movement.
The earth blades had stopped and she was still standing with none of the blades stuck in her body.
"I can\'t believe none of those blades managed to hit her," Luis muttered.
After seeing that none of his attacks were successful against her, he was a little frustrated and that had led him into forming about ten larger blades but before he could send the blades towards Clara she disappeared.
"Huh?" George had a confused expression on his face as he looked around.
"You weren\'t planning to throw those at me were you?"
He heard her voice behind him but before he could turn, he had been sent tumbling forward with a powerful kick to his back.
"She has superspeed," Luis said. Now things made more sense to him.
"Yeah if you had watched her previous fights you would have known that," Monica said.
George wasn\'t even allowed to fully get up as Clara sped past him knocking him back to the ground in the process.
"If you had watched my previous fights you would have known that that attack wouldn\'t have worked on me," Clara said after she had stopped a few distances away from him.
George was panting as he got on his knees, he wasn\'t only panting, he was boiling with anger.
He quickly got up on his feet and sent an earth blade flying towards Clara.
Clara didn\'t move as she caught the blade just before it could hit her face and sent it flying back to George at a faster speed forcing out a fairly loud groan from his.
He kept groaning as he fell on one knee and pulled the blade out from his shoulder.
Looking at the part of the earth blade which had gone into his body, it was covered with blood now.
"Is that the only thing you can do, can\'t you be more creative?" Clara asked with a taunting voice.
"That wasn\'t the best I could do," George said as tiny earth pillars began to rise around him, following his hand movements.
Clara didn\'t do anything, she just stood there waiting to see what he was going to do.
"This is just a little of the best I can do," George said as what looked like sharp earth discs began to slash out from the pillars and they were all headed towards one target.
What made the discs deadlier than the blades was that movement wasn\'t definite, their zig-zag motion makes it really difficult for someone to know where they are going to hit.
Clara knew she was in trouble as soon as she had seen the discs but she knew exactly what to do as she quickly ran past the discs heading straight for the pillars.
"How did she do that?" Orah was shocked by what he had just seen and the same could be said about Monica and Luis.
She got to the pillars before another round of discs could be fired out and slashed them all down with her sword.
After destroying the pillars she didn\'t waste time delivering a kick down George\'s side which sent him tumbling backward.
He tried to get up as quickly as possible but just before he could do that, he noticed Clara\'s shadow towering over him.
"It\'s funny that I thought I was going to struggle against you, I really wish I got Tammy," Clara said.
"Tammy." That was the last thing George said before his vision had slowly faded.
A kick to the head always did the trick of knocking someone out, if you hit the right spot.
This was quite a humiliating loss for George given that he didn\'t manage to land a single successful hit on Clara.
"And he\'s the leader of the gang," Nicole muttered.
