Chapter 73: Fox Hunting part 8

-You and I have unfinished business? I think that's something only you think about. -The second in command of the Black Foxes mocks Marcus while maintaining a slight smile.

-Yeah, I think it's just me, but... -Marcus hits Alan instantly, but he manages to block the attack. -You're still dead, you bastard.

-Kill me? You think you can just train and defeat me? Looks like you're still a rookie. -Alan smirks and kicks Marcus and then walks away.

-Hey four eyes you talk too much shit. -But to his surprise, Marcus was able to block the attack perfectly.

-Hey, shouldn't we help? -Richard asks the others, the best idea would be to help.

-No.

-No.

-No.

-No.

But to his surprise all four answered the same thing at the same time, it seems none of them had any intention of getting into Marcus' fight.

-You probably don't know it, since you don't like to fight, but a man should defend his pride. -Starling who was now part of Heros replies to Richard.

-I see, then I'll stay here. -Richard sits down to watch the fight, he didn't like Marcus, but he doesn't want him to lose.

(I can't stay here to fight, even if I defeat this asshole, there are still four more waiting to fight me, I must escape) -Alan changes direction and tries to run away.

-Where do you think you're going? -Marcus' voice stops Alan, for some strange reason he is dominant.

(What's this damn pressure? My heart feels heavy.) -Alan slows down his legs, getting Marcus closer.

-Were you really going to run away? You're really scared of me. -Marcus moved into his new fighting stance and prepared another punch.

A downward hook is thrown by Marcus at Alan, but the Black Foxes executive turns his body to hold it. -You have some elegance in your punches, but....

Without finishing his sentence Alan throws Marcus to the ground with great force. -It's still not enough to beat me.

-Why are you talking so much shit? Just fight and shut up you bastard! -From the ground, Marcus throws a punch to Alan's pink cheek, and then he gets up.

-I don't like wasting my time with you, you know? -With anger on his face, Alan punches Marcus harder than before.

Without much effort Marcus dodges Alan's attack, although they were in different leagues, the tyrant could exchange blows with his rival.

-Do you know how to punch? I thought your thing was grappling. -Marcus prepares a hook to the Black Foxes executive's stomach. -It's my specialty, but I can do anything. -Alan brought his elbow down at an incredible speed, cutting Marcus' forehead.

-Are you surprised? I'm not a rookie like you. -Seeing his opponent's astonished face, the Black Foxes executive throws a kick from below, which impacts on his chin.

-This is the difference between you and me. -Alan was preparing another punch, but is stopped by a headbutt from Marcus, which hits him in the face.

-I told you I was going to break your glasses you fucking bastard. -Marcus smirks as he sees his opponent's damaged glasses.

-You've become a pain in the ass motherfucker. -Showing another expression for the first time in the whole fight, Alan looked at Marcus with fury.

-What's the matter, the little boy needs his glasses to function? -Although Marcus was taunting the boy, he was doing it to buy time, the damage received earlier is no small thing.

(Think Alan, if I defeat him here, I will use up my strength and the others will come to stop me, that's why I can't fight effectively, I must save energy, but, on the other hand, I will accumulate damage, which would be much worse) -Alan was plotting options in his mind, but he hadn't come up with anything convenient.

-Hey fucker why are you thinking so much? -Alan's thoughts are interrupted by Marcus standing near him, ready to hit him.

-Shut up, I've had enough of you. -But to his surprise, Alan manages to hit him in the face in an elegant and precise way.

-Hey, you bastard!" -Marcus angry tries to hit Alan again, but just like last time, Alan launches a counter punch that hits him in the face.

-You talk too much, you're annoying and a bastard. Alan was hitting Marcus non-stop at high speed. -You're very emotional. -Following the blows, Alan throws Marcus to the ground with a power not seen before.

(Shit, what's going on? His punches weren't this strong before) -Marcus thought this as his body fell to the ground.

-You are mediocre. -The second in command of the Black Foxes stands in front of Marcus as the winner of this fight.

-What just happened, did he get stronger? -Richard is the first to speak, for Marcus had the upper hand.

-No, he was always this strong. -To calm the boy's doubts, Gerard began to speak. -Alan Brown, known to be the brains behind the Black Foxes, was probably holding back.

-Holding back? Why on earth would he hold back from Marcus? -Richard, who still couldn't understand, asked again.

-That's simple, because we're here. -This time, the one who solves Richard's doubts is Sophia, who had analyzed the whole fight. -If you are known for being smart, it's useless to show all your cards in front of your rivals.

-Well, I got it, then let's help him. -Richard gets up ready for the fight, he had already rested enough.

-No, Richard, you should sit down and rest. -Sophia speaks to Richard while she doesn't take her eyes off the supposedly finished fight.

-No? Why not? -Richard, who was not able to understand the behavior of his companions, asks.

-Because the best is about to begin! -Starling excitedly answers Richard, for someone addicted to fights he knew more than anyone that the fight was not over.

-Hey, motherfucker, who are you calling a mediocre? -Marcus stood up as he took off his coat and jacket.

[Congratulations]

[The skill obtained by the user in the group mission: Knight Recruitment, will be revealed]

-Are you really not tired of losing so much? You're starting to piss me off. -The second in command of the Black Foxes rushes at Marcus, this fight can't last any longer.

-I don't lose!" But to his surprise Marcus throws a beastly blow at him and pushes him away. -Get ready to die you bastard.

[Marcus Watters is using the combat skill: Authority.]

-So much you talk about death, why don't you die? -Alan took off his jacket ready for the second round.

***

-Wow, looks like I won't have to send any help to Marcus, I think he can win on his own.

Alexander who was watching Marcus' fight thanks to his skill, was in the cafe, the main business of his territory.

[Warning.]

-Wow, I knew my intuition didn't fail, I knew you would come to finish our business first. -Alexander speaks to the person who was coming out of the shadows.

-Really? If you waited for me you must be ready. -The mysterious person spoke while focusing his one eye with a rabid gaze on Alexander.

-Ready for what? -Alexander warmed up, it was time to end this war.

-Ready to die. -The mysterious person steps out of the shadows revealing his identity.

[Warning]

[You are in front of the high ranking boss: Victor Martinez].

The leader of the Black Foxes was ready to fight.
