Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1660

“Whoosh—”

As the punch flew toward him, Ebony Fox's fighter, Cole, swiftly dodged out of the way.

Seizing the opening, he countered, driving a brutal kick straight into the man's knee.

“Hiss—”

The impact was heavy. The Wild Wolf fighter instantly grimaced in pain, stumbling back several steps.

Once he stabilized himself.

He glared at Cole, pure shock written all over his face.

He hadn't expected this complete nobody to actually have real skill.

Cole flashed him a grin. Though he couldn't speak during the match, the sheer intensity in his eyes said it all.

Anyone who dared disrespect Ebony Fox was going to pay for it.

“Tweet—”

The referee's whistle blew, and the two men clashed again.

The Wild Wolf fighter took a solid punch to the forehead, while Cole absorbed a heavy kick to the gut.

In an exhibition match, fighters were supposed to show restraint.

In a sanctioned, professional bout, ending up bruised, bleeding, or unconscious was a regular occurrence.

“Bam—”

The Wild Wolf fighter repeatedly ignored the unspoken rules, deliberately targeting vulnerable areas.

Cole glanced down at Ebony Fox outside the ring, catching a very specific, silent command.

Tightening his fists, Cole lunged, locking his arms around the man's waist and driving his knee relentlessly into the guy's stomach.

“Ah—”

The Wild Wolf fighter hadn't anticipated the kid packing that much power. He was completely unable to break the hold.

The two grappled, but the Wild Wolf fighter was taking all the damage.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

The man hacked violently, feeling like his lungs were about to eject from his chest. He collapsed onto the mat, in too much pain to even crawl.

It wasn't a lethal blow, but he was definitely going to feel that deep tissue bruising for a long time.

“Five, four…”

The referee started the countdown. The man twitched a couple of times but ultimately failed to get up.

Round One: Fox's Den Boxing Gym wins.

This completely unexpected outcome instantly grabbed the attention of the live audience and the other pros in the venue.

*Talk about lucky, actually taking down someone from Wild Wolf.*

*They probably assumed Fox's Den was a joke, so Wild Wolf just sent out a low-tier guy. Total miscalculation.*

Sure enough.

Having learned their lesson from the first round, Wild Wolf sent out a highly skilled fighter for Round Two.

Sitting in his VIP section, Xavier Saxon quietly kept his eyes fixed on Ebony Fox.

If this crowd knew exactly who she really was, they would be absolutely terrified.

Ebony Fox…

Just looking at her, Xavier couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up into a smile.

The assistant, walking back from the restroom, caught the entire scene perfectly.

She was absolutely certain that from his angle, Xavier was staring directly at Kurt.

And smiling like that…

*Tsk.*

Kurt was in trouble.

The assistant was entirely oblivious to the fact that she was only five-foot-two.

Xavier wasn't just tall; his seat was elevated.

From his vantage point, his line of sight sailed perfectly over Kurt and landed squarely on Ebony Fox.

—

Round Two.

The bell rang.

Even though Ebony Fox's fighter was solid, the opponent wasn't messing around this time—Wild Wolf had sent out a heavy hitter.
