Chapter 110 Patience

"This idiot." Adam face-palmed as a sigh escaped his lips. The others around him were stunned. One moment they thought that Edward had won, but the next moment, the tables had turned.

They were shocked speechless. Meanwhile, Adam took another swig of wine in a relaxed manner. "Lowering your guard and showing your back to the enemy... You haven't learned a thing."

In the fighting ring, Rick had mounted Edward. He had a savage grin on his face as he raised his fist and hammered it down.

At the last moment, Edward managed to raise his arms and put them between his face and Rick's fist.

"Ugghh!!" Edward groaned in pain. His forearm bones had cracked from that last attack. He didn't know how long he would manage to put up his defenses.

"Let's see how long your arms last," Rick spoke menacingly as he raised his fist and once again hammered it down.

After a series of attacks, Edward's forearms were bruised and swollen. Finally, Edward could no longer hold on and his arms limply fell to his sides. He could only helplessly watch on as Rick's fist enlarged in his vision.

The punch struck him square in the face, causing his nose to break and blood to spurt out. However, Rick wasn't done. He continued to land punch after punch as he bathed Edward's face in red.

Lisa couldn't help but cover her mouth as she gasped in trepidation. She glanced at Adam and saw that he was as laidback as ever. Seeing this she couldn't help but frown a little. "You seem to be bothered by this?"

Even Atiel showed her displeasure at Adam's lack of worry for his friend. Moreover, this was the first time she had witnessed such a gory scene. So, unlike her brother, she found it difficult to suppress her emotions. "Adam, I didn't expect this from you!"

"What? Why?" Adam was dumbfounded, wondering what suddenly got into these girls. "It's not like he's going to die. Relax!"

"You're so heartless, hmph!" Lisa placed her attention back on the fighting ring, her heart caught on her throat. Atiel was similarly nervous as Daneli tried to calm her down.

The entire place was silent as everyone felt bad for Edward who had almost grasped victory, but now was on the verge of losing. Well, there was only one person who reveled in the fact that Edward was being beaten like a dog.

Edward responded by spitting a mouthful of blood at his face.

Furious, Rick ruthlessly brought down his fist again. "Have it your way."

But right at that moment, Edward's bloodshot eyes flashed with brilliance. He skilfully shifted his head to the left, dodging Rick's punch and then immediately grabbing his arm.

Then, he agilely maneuvered his legs to curl around Rick's neck, effectively putting him in a triangle choke!

The crowd was stunned at the turn of events. Once again, they got to their feet and cheered clamorously.

Rick was dumbfounded! He didn't think that Edward still had the energy left in him to pull such a move. But it seemed that the kid had been goading him into this one moment.

Edward grinned from ear to ear, his bloody face looking extremely devilish. He squeezed his legs around Rick's neck, strangling him slowly.

He began laughing like a madman. "Hahahaha! You want me to give up? Rubbish! Compared to that bastard's beating, yours just seem ticklish!"

Edward continued to laugh maniacally as he squeezed the air out of Rick's windpipe. Finally, the referee intervened just as Rick had lost consciousness.

"The winner of this match... Edward Turner!"

"OOOHHHHHH!!" The crowd had lost it. This match was a rollercoaster of a ride for them. They all jumped in their seats and cheered for Edward like there was no tomorrow. This was a great fight!

Edward stood in the middle of the ring, bathed in his own blood. He took a deep breath and then raised his fists and roared, seemingly high on the adrenaline rush.

Seeing Edward come out victorious, Adam breathed a sigh of relief while patting his chest. Atiel noticed this and faintly smiled. "You're not so heartless after all—"

But the words got stuck in her mouth when she heard what Adam said next.

"Phew! I almost lost a thousand gold coins. That was close."
