Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1601

Just as quickly, it was Mia's turn to compete against her opponents. Like Jensen, her moves were swift, precise, and ruthless, taking down her opponents in no time. Hayes leaned back; his expression dark as he toyed with a lighter in his hand.

When Mia knocked down another competitor, he suddenly said with a faint smile, "Enough. Stop."

Confused, everyone looked at him. "Hayes, aren't the matches still ongoing?"

Hayes sneered at the one who asked. "Tell me, who among you can defeat these two?" His gaze swept over Jensen and Mia.

Everyone fell silent, lips pressed together. The competition had gone on for quite some time, but they had all been defeated within just a few moves. Looking at Jensen and Mia, the pair remained composed and poised. Hayes was speaking the truth – they could not defeat these two, even if they could not accept it.

Hayes pointed his slender finger at Jensen and Mia. "Well... it'll be you two then."

'No matter where Jensen goes, she'll follow, huh? Then I shall grant her wish.'

No one saw the fleeting shadow in his eyes.

That night, Jensen leaned against the doorway, drinking. Mia silently walked over. She looked at his melancholy expression and smiled at him. "Finally, we have a chance to leave. Why don't you seem happy?"

Jensen looked at her. "Hayes said this journey will be extremely dangerous. You don't have to follow me. Just stay with him, and he'll let you leave this courtyard."
