Chapter 52
As the voice faded, Zoe’s elegant figure appeared before the crowd. Zoe was stunningly beautiful, and every move she made exuded an unparalleled grace.
The onlookers, both male and female, were momentarily stunned, unable to react. They hadn’t expected Zoe to actually show up.
Cheryl slapped the armrest of her chair in astonishment. “She actually dared to come,” she exclaimed.
“Holy crap, that’s impressive. If I had known it was going to be this big of a deal, I would have run away a long time ago.
“Her opponent is Mr. Shelton, for crying out loud. Zoe actually dared to come. She’s incredibly brave. I’m in awe,” someone else chimed in.
“Amazing,” another voice added.
“Bullshit. This doesn’t mean anything. In a moment, Mr. Shelton is going to knock her off the stage in one move. Just you wait,” a dissenting voice grumbled.
As the audience erupted in screams, Zack’s face darkened. He hadn’t anticipated that Zoe would actually have the nerve to show up.
She had some guts, but of course, she was no match for him. At that moment, Zoe walked up the platform step by step, under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
She stared at Zack, her eyes cold and unyielding. Undeterred by Zack’s imposing presence, she met his gaze without flinching.
Zack sneered, clearly not taking Zoe seriously. “Humph, naive girl, you really do have guts coming here.
“My injuries are fully healed now. In front of all these people, I’ll give you one last chance. If you beg for mercy now, I might let you go,” he said condescendingly.
“There’s no need,” Zoe replied with a cold laugh. Standing on the platform, she faced the audience with an air of defiance that seemed to match Zack’s. “I can beat you with just one move,” she declared, her tone icy.
The crowd gasped in disbelief. ‘What? Did everyone hear that? Zoe just said she could beat the world fighting champion with a single move? How arrogant is she? Does she think she’s the Firefox Queen?‘ they wondered.
“Such a bold claim. I’ve given you your last chance. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you here and now, Zack’s anger flared.
He thought to himself, ‘I’m a big shot in Eminence Nexus, the world fighting champion. Some girl? She may talk big, but it won’t help her at all. Beat me? Humph, that’s the most ridiculous joke I’ve ever heard.’
“Well, since both of you are ready, let’s get this started. Let’s all witness and enjoy this battle to the death. Three, two, one, go!” The host, eager to heighten the drama, quickly jumped off the platform to avoid any accidental harm.
As the host’s shout died down, the audience was in a frenzy. A few days earlier, they had missed the chance to witness the epic battle between Firefox and Shawn, which left them feeling disappointed.
Today, they were extremely excited to see Zack thrash Zoe, hoping it would make up for the missed spectacle.
‘Let’s go, Mr. Shelton.”
“Zoe’s gonna lose, Zoe’s a fool. Zoe’s a coward.”
“Next up, everyone, watch Zoe’s suicide show. She really loves to dig her own grave. Let’s give her a round of applause.”
The influencer circle and media reporters were also in an uproar. Worried that their audience might not understand what was happening, they provided live, dramatic commentary.
[Guys, Zoe just said she’s going to beat Mr. Shelton with one move. She’s so arrogant. I wonder if she’s going to get pounded by Mr. Shelton. Let’s all look forward to it.}
