Chapter 29 - Underground Competition Pt. 5

Zo was beyond stressed, nothing was going the way he expected. Picking up his mic he announced the winners for the previous battles and indicated that there would be a ten minute break before the final match started. The crowd was confused as there usually was not a break between matches but before they could question it Zo was already gone.

Storming into a small office Zo paced back and forth. Bo had followed Zo in when he saw the fear on his face from the recent matches. "What are we going to do Bo, we're so screwed! She definitely knows we tried to set her up! What kind of monster is she...she just completely destroyed Sun Bin."

Bo stood aside as he was also shocked at the outcome. Was she not just a weak little woman? "Or was she even a real woman? Zo do you think...think that maybe its a man disguising as a woman?"

Zo's anger rose, grabbing a small desk ornament he threw it at Bo. "Does it even matter?! Are you an idiot?! Who cares about her gender, she is going to kill us!"

"Well I just don't believe a woman can be that strong!"

"I am literally going to kill you. Women are strong and she is one of them, seems like a trained killer to me. Besides, no matter how much you question her gender she is a woman. Her face was half covered but you could still see her face and jade skin - it was soft I tell you. She's definitely a beauty too."

"Ooh," a lecherous smile broke out on Bo's face but before he could voice out his thoughts a paperweight was thrown at his head. Zo was furious, here he was stressing out on how to fix this issue and this idiot Bo was having dirty thoughts about the she-monster. Which god did he anger to be paired with someone like this?! Zo calmed down as he tried to think about the situation logically. There were only 8 more minutes left to the break before he had to go back out and officiate the final match and he needed to decide his next steps now. Even if Viper had known that he had set the matches up, was she so affected that she would seek revenge against them? It was a hard call to make since he knew from experience that people in the underground all had different temperaments. She was unfazed and took Sun Bin as a joke but that did not mean that she was not angry about their disrespect towards her. He had caught her cold eyes glare at him from time to time but other than a few looks she had stayed away from him. His bet was that she didn't care much about him but his heart was still uneasy. If he was right and she didn't care then his life was saved, of he was wrong he died.

Though, despite his concern for his life, a familiar emotion bubbled up inside him again. It was his need for revenge! No matter how this night ended he was determined to seek his revenge for the humiliation and threat she made towards him. He had been in the underworld a long time but had never been disrespected by a woman this much! He failed to realize that his issue relied around the basis of her being a woman and not the rest, he was s.e.xist but refused to call himself that. Running through multiple plans in his head Zo struggled to find a suitable attack. With two minutes left he began to walk out of the office when it hit him. "Yes..yes this could work." An evil smirk graced his face as he turned back towards his partner. Quickly speaking he divulged his plan to Bo and explained everything they would need. Joy filled him at the idea of this succeeding and being able to watch as he single handley destroyed her. He would go back and finish the matches but regardless of what happened tonight she would not leave alive!!

Ying Yue sneezed as she felt someone talk about her. Considering the panicked looks from the announcer and the sudden break she could easily sense that it was because of her. They had probably retreated to create a scheme to trap her tonight. She didn't care much about them but it was unlikely that they would give up. Regardless if she wanted to do anything or not she was a threat in their eyes and needed to be eliminated. 'Sheesh these men and their egos. They act as though they weren't birthed from a woman!' If a man had down what she had done tonight they would have peacefully stayed away, sigh, it truly was a hard life for women.

Hearing the crowd reanimate she refocused on stage as she saw the stumpy man once again enter the ring. Holding the mic towards his mouth he spoke, "Welcome back! This will be our final match and whoever wins shall get 50,000 yuan and the title of underworld fighting champion! Now to grace the stage we have our final two opponents both of which are newcomers to this battle. In the left corner we have Qi Jinguang and in the right we have Viper! Let the strongest man win!"

With end of the announcement both her and Jinguang entered the ring. It was finally time for them to battle! Watching each other from the corners of the ring their muscles clenched as the cages slowly rose. Seconds counted down till the cages closed and the sound of the bell rang out echoing throughout the room.

The final match had begun.
