"Why is she so angry with me? What's really going on?" Daniel wondered, constantly avoiding Archie's attacks.He tried his best to avoid direct confrontations with Archie, who pursued him relentlessly and without respite.Even though they were on the same level, it didn't mean that Daniel didn't feel the effects of Archie's blows. The techniques of the Amaro family still felt very powerful to him.Not only that, every time his hands made direct contact with Archie's, they felt a burning sensation.After exchanging dozens of moves, Daniel began to feel a slight pain in both of his hands.Of course, it was because he was only blocking Archie's attacks. If he were to retaliate against her, the situation might be a bit more advantageous for him.However, he refrained from doing so because he had no intention of striking back from the beginning.Daniel didn't want to hurt Archie at all.Besides, he was still thinking about his agreement with Edward, where he had to lose in this fight.What
The crowd actually followed the guards' orders to leave the mayor's grounds. However, they didn't actually leave.Some of the spectators stayed at a distance and watched the match. They didn't want to miss what they believed to be the most exciting event in years.The crowd's departure was noticed by Daniel and Archie. They stopped their fight for a moment."Miss Amaro, look over there! The perimeter fence has begun to crack. If we continue this fight, the fence won't hold. It's about to collapse!""Yes! So what?" Archie replied sharply.Daniel furrowed his brow when he heard her answer.He pondered in his mind, "Why? Doesn't she care about the safety of the audience? If the fence breaks, the impact of our inner energy will hit them!"But then he shook his head repeatedly. "Ah no! No! That can't be! Miss Amaro can't be so indifferent to them!"The two stood still, pausing their fight for a moment as they watched the crowd slowly move away from the fence.Daniel then stole a glance at
Punch!As the punch landed directly on Daniel's face, the young man could feel that Archie had indeed increased her inner strength to its peak.However, he didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. He immediately gathered all of his inner strength into his palm and calmly received Archie's punch with his palm.Boom!Shortly after their hands collided, a loud explosion echoed through the arena.In addition, the shockwaves and gusts of wind emanating from the two Warriors' inner strength felt stronger than before."Insane! Their internal strength is truly terrifying!" exclaimed the referee, using his internal strength as much as possible to protect himself.However, the wind unleashed by the clash between Daniel and Archie's inner strength pushed him to the edge of the platform.Furthermore, when the shockwaves crashed into the boundary fence, the cracking sounds were even louder than before.It seemed that with just one or two more hits, the boundary fence would not be able to hold.The t
While holding the fingers of his right hand, which felt painful and burned, Daniel shouted these words at Archie.He no longer knew how to convince the girl. Therefore, he was forced to say it.Upon hearing Daniel's words, Archie widened her eyes and stared at Daniel."You used such illusion techniques on me, and yet you dare to say that? Don't you ever try to tell me what I should and shouldn't do! You have no right!" she said sharply.However, there was something strange in her voice. It sounded like Archie was very angry, but there was also a hint of sadness in it."No more empty words! Let's finish this fight now!" she continued.After saying that, Archie clenched both of her palms and prepared to attack again.But Daniel gave an unexpected answer. "If you don't trust my words, then that's up to you! But I don't want to continue this fight!"Daniel had made an agreement with Edward. No matter what happened in the end, he was still the one who had to lose.Daniel hoped to convince
"You fool! Why didn't you defend yourself?"Archie kept saying these words as she cleaned the blood from Daniel's mouth and nose.At the same time, clear liquid continued to flow rapidly from the corners of her eyes.Seeing the girl crying more and more, Daniel reached out his hand to touch her, trying to stop her tears.Unfortunately, Daniel could only lift his hand a few inches off the ground. He really did not have the strength to lift it any higher.Archie could see Daniel struggling to move his weak hand. With tears still streaming down her cheeks, Archie took Daniel's hand in her own.When their hands touched, the environment around them changed again.Daniel's mind reading technique automatically activated.But this time, instead of showing what was in Archie's mind, the technique showed the memories that were in Daniel's mind.But because Daniel was in such a weak state, the technique revealed scenes that were quite jumbled.It jumped from one event to another, then to somethi
Daniel opened his eyes to find himself in a room that wasn't too unfamiliar to him. The walls were painted white, and there was a mosquito net and a mattress of the same color.It was a hospital room.Looking out the window, he saw the sun rising. The clock on the wall showed that it was only six o'clock."Is it morning already? I must have been unconscious all day since yesterday!"Daniel looked around the room and saw a girl with long hair sleeping in a sitting position next to him. He couldn't see her face clearly because she had one side of her face buried in the bed where Daniel was lying. Also, her long hair covered the other side of her face. But he could smell her soothing scent.Apart from the two of them, Daniel didn't see anyone else in the room."What happened to me?" he thought to himself as he examined his body.Daniel wasn't wearing anything to cover his upper body. That was because his left chest was covered in a bandage with traces of red blood stains.He then touched
Archie continued to sink into her own thoughts, unaware of Daniel's question.For a moment, Daniel waited for an answer from the girl, but there was no sign that she would answer his question."Miss Amaro, are you still with me?" Daniel asked again. It was at this point that he began to look at her.Actually, the last question had managed to snap Archie out of her thoughts. However, she still didn't answer the young man's question because she was thinking about something else.A few moments later, Archie lifted her head from Daniel's body and looked directly into his eyes."Daniel, tell me, do you still want that Esquire title, right?" she asked.On the other hand, being looked at in such a way, Daniel couldn't help but turn his gaze in Archie's direction.When their eyes met, he could see how extraordinarily beautiful Archie's face was.Together with Laura, they were the Tectona fairies who held the standards of beauty in their hands.Archie's face exuded a serene and strong maternal
While Jeffrey and Montgomery furrowed their brows at Archie's words, Daniel remained calm. He lowered his head and seemed to be deep in thought."I don't want to doubt what you say, but what can we do now? The referee decided that you were the winner of yesterday's match, right?" Montgomery spoke with as much calm and gentleness as possible. But there was still a hint of annoyance in his tone.Daniel and Jeffrey just stared at their tall friend without saying a word. Even though they remained silent, their faces showed that they had a different perspective than him."Yes, that's true! But before Edward is confirmed as a new member of the Security Division, we can still do something, right?" Archie said with a smile that made her face much more charming.It had become common knowledge that until the winner was officially recognized, the title was not completely safe in their hands.But Montgomery had his doubts, considering that Edward was a member of the Amaro family. Who would dare t
