Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 I’m No Longer the Same Person as Before

Macaque looked at the man in the fox mask. “What are your thoughts?” he asked.

Although Bryce had mentioned Elise’s identity to him, no one could break the arena’s rules just because of their status. Macaque might be visibly asking the man in the fox mask for his opinion, but in reality, he was hoping that the man would agree. After all, Elise was gutsy enough to hit Bryce. Macaque was actually worried that if Fox-Mask didn’t go along with her wishes, then she might rain wrath down on the arena—no, the entire black market.

The man’s mask only obscured the upper half of his face. Under everyone’s watchful gazes, his lips pressed together into a smile. Then, he spoke. “Let’s do as they wish. I don’t mind fighting against two opponents at once. It will all end the same way anyway—one side will still fall in the end.”

That arrogant challenge of a statement successfully piqued the crowd’s fervor. All of them smacked their tables or got on their chairs as they began to yell and cheer for the man in the mask.

Elise paid no attention to the racket as she turned to help Alexander up. Without giving away her emotions, she felt for his pulse. It was only after she felt his pulse fluttering under her fingers that she sighed in relief. Fortunately, the poison was a weak one. It would be easy to neutralize.

“Looks like I’ve embarrassed you,” Alexander said half-jokingly.

Elise smiled while shaking her head. “You suffered in my place.”

If it hadn’t been for him, Elise would have been the one poisoned instead and rendered unable to fight.

Alexander knew what she actually meant, but he couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile on his lips. He should have been able to hold out for a few more rounds for her.

Danny dashed over to the ring as well. Elise handed Alexander to him. “Wait for me in the stands,” she ordered.

“Hey, are you two done with your tender romance scene already?” the man in the fox mask asked impatiently, his arms folded across his chest.

Elise coldly glanced over her shoulder before she patted Alexander’s hand comfortingly. She watched as Danny helped Alexander down and out of the ring.

Once both men had left the ring, all expression on Elise’s face vanished without a trace. She turned around, a deadly gleam shining in her pretty eyes.

“Whoa, is the pretty lady angry now? What, is your heart already aching just because I hurt your boyfriend a little?” Fox-Mask mocked in a sinister tone.

Elise was in no mood for jokes. Pulling a face, she stated coldly, “Let’s begin.”

The referee rang the bell.

Fox-Mask’s smile disappeared in an instant. A terrifying aura cloaked him, as though he was a completely different person.

It was strange. It was just an instant, but Elise felt an inexplicable feeling, especially when she gazed at the fox mask. It felt like she might have known this man, but nobody who fit this man’s profile came to mind.

Before Elise could carefully analyze this feeling, however, Fox-Mask suddenly changed his tactics and struck first. He was already horrendously fast when he dodged Alexander’s attacks earlier, but his speed when he was initiating the attack was on a whole different level.

All Elise felt was a gust of wind to her face. By the time her eyes narrowed slightly, Fox-Mask was already in front of her. She knew this man was holding back his true power when he was battling Alexander. That was how he was able to get in that finishing blow right at the most crucial moment. Thus, she wanted to see just how strong the man actually was.

And so, the fight in the ring turned into a game of cat-and-mouse.

Fox-Mask was the cat. His movements were both fast and powerful. Anyone could tell with a glance that he had been trained well. Meanwhile, Elise was the mouse, her small body swift like the wind. One kept chasing his opponent while the other constantly dodged her pursuer. Their movements were like a constant series of pictures. One moment, they would be on one side of the arena. By the time the audience caught sight of them again, they had actually already changed positions quite a few times.

The audience was in a daze by the constant movements. They themselves couldn’t even compare to those two fighting in the ring right now.
