Chapter 66
Chapter 66
Lucy watched as Boneng left the room.
She stood there stupefied for a while before saying, “I have a feeling…”
“What feeling?” Hayley asked curiously.
“That guy, Fierce Dragon, is going to be so unlucky,” Lucy’s eyes shone brightly, “Lady Boneng looks so valiant and spirited today as if she’s a goddess of war.”
Hayley was shocked, and she recalled the scene when Boneng just left.
Then, she murmured, “You’re right… Well, may luck be on the guy’s side then.”
At that time, Diana still followed the middle-aged man in confusion as they walked through many corridors in the St.
Jade Chamber.
Soon, they arrived at a thick wooden door.
“I’m here to buy…” Diana thought that it was time to inform the man of his purpose here.
However, just as he said those few words, the middle-aged man interrupted him.
With an ambiguous expression in his eyes, he said, “I know.”
His tone was so gentle that Diana was shocked, and he felt goosebumps everywhere.
“Same old price,” the man said.
“Same old price?” Diana’s expression changed.
The man did not notice Diana’s surprise, and he replied, “As long as you can last sixty seconds against the fifth-stage warrior inside, you can earn five thousand fedulings.”
“What are you talking about? I’m here for…” Diana suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and he exclaimed, “five thousand fedulings? Seriously?!”
Diana finally understood what was happening.
He misunderstood the middle-aged man.
As for the man, he mistook Diana for someone else.
Nonetheless, that did not matter at all.
Based on his words, as long as Diana could resist the fifth-stage warrior for a minute, then he would get five thousand fedulings.
If that was the case, let him be mistaken!
Diana would grab on this opportunity!
The reason why Diana decided on that was that the 5000 fedulings moved him.
Moreover, he was confident with his strength.
Despite only being a fourth-stage warrior, Diana knew well that his strength was about the same as a fifth-stage martial artist as he could go beyond ordinary people.
Diana thought, ‘Sixty seconds is just a short time, and it’ll pass in a blink of an eye.
This five thousand fedulings is easy money.’
Then, he looked at the middle-aged man and pondered for a moment before asking, “Do I just need to avoid their attacks, or can I retaliate?”
The middle-aged man looked at the Diana with an odd expression.
After a while, he finally answered, “You can try if you want.”
“Alright.
I have no problem with that.” Diana nodded.
“As long as you think there’s no problem.”
When the middle-aged man said that, Diana felt that his expression was weird.
However, before Diana could ask more, the man passed him a contract.
”Sign this contract.
A palm print is fine too.”
Diana read through the contract.
Then, after making sure there was no issue, he pressed his palm print on it.
“Okay.
You can go in now.
There’s an hourglass inside.”
Just as the middle-aged man was about to leave, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Then, he said to Ludwig, “Good luck…” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Diana was not sure why, but the middle-aged man was showing a pitiful look at him.
Diana was slightly surprised, but he nodded.
“Thank you…”
After saying that, he stood in front of the door and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
Diana was greeted with an extremely spacious room, which was more than ten meters squared.
In the room, at the innermost place near the wall, there was a two-story-tall hourglass.
The fine sand inside was still in the upper layer, not falling yet.
Besides that, there were some wooden dolls used to practice martial skills in the room.
The room could be generally described as empty.
At that time, a young man in a white combat suit stood in the middle of the room.
He was petite, with an average-looking appearance, but had thick lips.
The young man glanced coldly at Diana and pointed at the hourglass.
“He’s a mute..?” Diana mumbled to himself.
He quickly nodded and said to the young man, “I’m aware of the rules.
As long as I can last a minute without getting hit by you, I’ll get five thousand fedulings.
Alright, let’s start.
I’m in a rush!”
The young man in white with thick lips was Boneng, who changed her features using the shape-shifting inscription.
When she heard Diana say she was a mute, there was anger in her eyes.
Nevertheless, although shape-shifting inscriptions could tweak appearances, they could not change one’s voice.
Hence, Boneng could not argue with Ludwig, which made her angrier.
Boneng thought, ‘You’ll surely regret what you said soon!’
Diana stretched his arms and legs.
Then, he turned to Boneng and nodded.
Despite talking casually just now, Diana did not look down on his opponent just because the other party seemed smaller.
After all, that was still a fifth-stage warrior!
At this moment, Boneng looked at Diana‘s eyes in a daze.
She could feel that the man named, Fierce Dragon, was suddenly different.
He was arrogant before, but Boneng felt as if she was facing an abyss.
Boneng looked into the abyss, and the abyss stared right back at her.
At the thought of that, Boneng felt goosebumps all over, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Soon, she was filled with joy and excitement.
‘Those men before were only here to fish for compliments.
Finally, I found a worthy opponent!’
Boneng cupped her hands and bowed at Mandra.
Then, she slowly inched closer.
The air in the room felt as if it suddenly stopped flowing.
As soon as the hourglass started counting the time, Boneng moved violently.
Then, as if her body was like a bow being pulled to its limit, she flew out like a sharp arrow, pressuring the air in the room, and it made a loud noise.
Diana was stunned.
‘That’s so fast!’ He was impressed.
Boneng’s speed was so fast that he almost could not catch on to her, and her movement disrupted even the airflow.
‘Is he a fifth-stage warrior?’ Diana felt cheated.
Thankfully, Diana competitiveness was also triggered at this moment.
His eyes flashed.
Diana shook not only because he could not catch sight of the person’s figure, but he was also excited for the same reason.
Hence, his thirst and urge for a fight were ignited as he finally found a strong opponent.
“Not here, and not here either.
It’s…” At this time, with Diana’s experiences of being on the battlefields, he felt a strong sense of danger incoming from his side, as cold as ice and sharp as thorns.
