Chapter 296: Not Fit
'These ignorant humans. I've been playing along with your games, and now you think you can just back away without consequence?' he sneered in contempt.
'Who gave you the right to bypass me?' This was a bigger insult to him than the fight itself. How dare they act like their words held more weight than his?
Emy stepped forward, her face serious. "This is enough! This has gone too far. You can't just threaten everyone because you're strong. I admit my mistake and is willing to compensate you. "
CRACK!
The sparks of blue electricity around him intensified. "You dare to lecture me?" he growled, his anger evident. Her words only fueled his frustration.
The once easygoing personality had vanished, replaced by his true naturel; a vengeful monster. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
Emy was taken aback. She had hoped her words would bring him to his senses, but they had the opposite effect.
"Don't make this more complicated. I'm a representative of BioGen, one of the biggest corporations under the Chamber of Commerce. Do you know what you're doing by rejecting this compromise?" she warned, now forced to use her background as leverage.
"BioGen? Am I supposed to kneel and beg just because you're using that name?" he sneered in contempt.
"Fuck your corporation and Fuck you. We already had a deal—this is a fight to the death, and no one is allowed to interfere."
Emy's face went pale as she heard his words. She realized that her attempts to de-escalate the situation had failed .
She looked at Lucas, only to see him sweating as well.
"Isn't he your bodyguard? order him to stand down," she protested.
CRACK!
The sparks of electricity around Reign's body grew stronger.
'This woman really doesn't know what's good for her. Just shut the fuck up,' he mumbled, his mind urging him to tear her apart.
Emy's eyes widened with fear. The raw power emanating from him made her confidence waver.
The dangerous energy crackling around him made her realize just how dangerous the situation had become.
But instead of apologizing and begging, she kept talking as if her words had the magical ability to fixed anything.
"Don't do this. I'm warning you! " she threatened, feeling cornered and desperate.
The truth was, Alfonso was her lover , so him dying was out of the question.
"Regret?" he chuckled sadistically.
"Thunder-bird Breathing Technique…" He inhaled and exhaled, causing electricity around his body danced madly.
"Oh my god, he's from that family!" one of the spectators exclaimed.
"No wonder he doesn't take BioGen seriously. His background is like something out of a legend," another spectator remarked.
Alfonso, hearing the whispers, realized there was no way out. Even the authorities in the tunnel wouldn't dare stop someone from a legendary Hunter Clan.
He bravely drank the drug in his hand, determined to fight until the end.
As the drug took effect, his muscles began to expand, straining against his armor. The pressure was so intense that the top area split open, exposing his dark-skinned chest.
"ARGHHHHH!" A roar of pain erupted from him as the transformation continued.
His body began to bleed, with streams of blood seeping through his torn skin. His muscles glistened and started to take on a metallic sheen, as though they were turning into living steel.
The process was agonizing, but he gritted his teeth and pressed on, driven by his will to survived.
After a while, his body stabilized. He now looked more like a berserk monster than a human.
His muscles were bulked up and metallic, and his eyes glowed red with a fierce intensity. The transformation had turned him into a terrifying, powerful figure, ready to face anyone.
"This power," Alfonso clenched his fists, feeling his strength had grown at least tenfold.
He smiled with satisfaction as he felt the power coursing through his body. It was intoxicating, making him feel as though he could defeat anyone.
However, Emy looked deeply concerned. The drug had many side effects, and with the amount of blood on the floor, it was clear that her lover wouldn't be able to sustain this form for long
Alfonso was also aware of the risks, so he quickly turned to Reign.
"Let's end this!" he roared, now more confident than ever. He couldn't imagine being defeated in his current state.
"I'll let you taste the power of Bio—"
CRACK!
In an instant, Reign vanished from view, only to reappear behind Alfonso. He barely had time to react before sensing something had gone terribly wrong.
A moment of silence followed, only to be shattered when Alfonso's body split in two from the top of his head, like it had been cleaved by a laser.
THUD!
THUD!
Both halves of his body dropped to the ground almost simultaneously.
"You can blame your death on someone who couldn't keep her mouth shut," Reign sneered in contempt, turning his head toward Emy.
He walked closer to her and leaned in to whisper something.
"You're the one responsible for his death. Don't say another word if you don't want to follow in his steps," he warned, walking past her.
After he was gone, her knees weakened, and she dropped to the ground. She was stunned and speechless, feeling in that moment that she was going to die.
'Why did I mess with someone like him?' she thought, tears welling up. She was humbled and had a harsh reality check.
When her gazed landed at her ex-lover's body, her stomach churned, and she vomited the meal she had just eaten. The sight was too gruesome to bear.
The crowd on the other hand was completely silent, their faces showing shock and fear.
There were no cheers—just complete silence.
What they had just seen wasn't a fair fight but a one-sided massacre.
'Shit, who did Lilith sent to guard me?' Lucas muttered, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief, still shaking.
In his honest opinion, Reign was not fit to be a bodyguard. He would be better suited as an assassin.
"Miss Emy, believe me, I had no idea this would happen. I hired him through a close acquaintance of mine and didn't know he was connected to a well-known hunter family," he explained. It would be disastrous if he became a target of BioGen.
She didn't reply; she was still too heartbroken and unstable.
"I'll take my leave," he said, bowing his head and walking away. He would collect his winnings later, assuming he wasn't beaten to death by the other gambler.
But after recalling Reign's display of power, though, he knew they wouldn't dare risk not paying.
When the crowd began to thin out, two people in hoodies remained.
They had witnessed everything with their own eyes, and their perception of the West's power level had shifted.
"Did you see that, Nobu-san? That technique is similar to our Azure Dragon Lightning," Seki whispered.
"Yes, it felt similar, but at the same time, it was odd, Seki-sama," he answered, his voice skeptical.
"What do you mean, Nobu-san?"
He touched his chin in contemplation. "I don't think that was a breathing technique at all, Seki-sama" he concluded.
