Chapter 120: Officer Shi
Kevin had a tough and resolute demeanor with a well-proportioned build, but visually, he wasn't as impactful as those muscular men.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't transformed into a demon?
"Kid, you're on your own! Who told you to team up with them!"
A burly man, holding an entire surfboard, charged over menacingly.
Crack!
A hand chop sliced through the surfboard like a blade from the middle, then snaked out like a dragon to grab his neck.
"Hey!"
Thump!
Fiammetta agilely delivered a follow-up strike to the back of the man's head with her baseball bat. The collision between the bat and his skull produced a crisp sound.
"Don't underestimate me."
She blinked and raised her small fist in a show of force; her strength was nothing to scoff at.
"Then I'll leave my back to you."
"Of course, no problem."
"Wow! The strength of these two ladies is clearly quite formidable! But their coordination seems a bit..."
Bang!
"Ch'en!"
A baseball bat swept past, grazing Lin Yuxia's back, startling her into quickly ducking. She had had enough!
Ch'en, who had just knocked down an enemy, turned back in confusion.
"Stay away from me."
Lin Yuxia shouted while using glass to forcefully press someone into the sand.
"You're getting in the way; you should be the one staying away from me."
"What did you say, Pink Sausage Dragon?!"
"I'm talking about you, Stinky Rat!"
Meanwhile, the atmosphere on this side was completely different—
"Kevin, do you want ice cream?"
"..."
"You can't say no! Let's finish this quickly."
"Okay."
Kevin nodded and began to fight with wide, sweeping movements. Even while controlling his strength, one swing of his bat could send several big men flying.
"I forfeit! I want to forfeit!"
One man stared at Kevin as if looking at a devil and frantically ran towards the edge of the arena. As long as he ran out, he'd be safe!
The red line marking the arena boundary was right before him, just one step away.
As long as he ran out, he wouldn't have to suffer!
"Sorry about this, you're the last one."
A woman's voice tinged with a hint of apology sounded behind him.
Thump! The man only felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck before his vision went dark, and he fell unconscious onto the ground.
"Great! That pink-haired lady ended the fight with a perfect sneak attack. Although the method wasn't exactly honorable, in a free-for-all situation, as long as it doesn't endanger an opponent's life, such tactics are permitted."
The host felt himself getting excited. Now only four people remained on the field, and each one seemed incredibly strong!
"So, with only four people left in the arena, how will this preliminary round conclude?"
The two teams faced each other across the wide expanse of beach, their gazes almost sparking with intensity!
"Pink Sausage Dragon, confident?"
"Without using Chi Xiao... ten percent..."
"Ten percent? That's so little?"
This didn't sound at all like the proud Amiya of the Lungmen Inspection Team that Lin Yuxia knew.
"Less than... ten percent."
Ch'en shook her head. She had heard more or less about this person's deeds from Chief Wei; those in black coir raincoats wouldn't lie.
"Hey, Kevin, why did you put away your bat?"
"Aren't we on the same team from the start?"
Kevin's words were like a wake-up call. Fiammetta instantly realized:
"Oh right, we were together from the beginning, so why should we fight each other? But it feels kind of a shame; we won't get to try against Officer Ch'en and them."
Ch'en and Lin Yuxia also fell silent. They had gotten too carried away playing and almost forgot that the four of them were originally a team.
"Oh? Why have both sides stopped? Is it because they've expended too much energy and need to recover temporarily? Conserving strength is also possi...! Whoa!"
A piece of broken glass neatly parted the host's hairstyle down the middle.
"Conserving strength? Which eye of yours sees us conserving strength? We're on the same team."
Lin Yuxia retracted her finger and glanced sideways, the threat in her eyes almost overflowing.
"You... you... you dare threaten the host? Mr. Pancho, look at this, such contestants are too arrogant."
"Ahem, the purpose of this grand selection is to bring joy and spectacular performances to all the citizens. At least in this regard, they have performed quite well. I believe they should be allowed to advance."
This was an elderly man in military uniform with a robust build, holding a pipe.
Clearly, faced with the host's complaint, he remained unmoved and even made excuses for Ch'en and Lin Yuxia himself.
"Mr. Pancho, you... you..."
The host was at a loss for words but dared not refute Pancho's decision.
"Hmm? Aren't you going to announce the result?"
The soldier's authoritative aura poured out, making the host break out in a cold sweat.
"Ahem, I declare, let's give our warmest applause to the winners of this preliminary round!"
......
"Is this thing... pure gold?"
Lin Yuxia tapped the surface of the statue; she wouldn't mistake this texture.
"As expected of Dossoles, such a grand gesture. Just a preliminary round actually has this kind of reward."
Ch'en frowned slightly, lost in thought about something.
"Kevin, let's go to that ice cream shop later. The pink storefront one seems cuter."
"But you already ate three when we entered the city..."
"No more talking!"
Fiammetta hurriedly covered his mouth. Why does he spill everything?!
"I exercised properly today too, so don't call me fat!"
"Mhm."
The two chatted back and forth there, clearly not interested in that gold statue at all.
"As expected of guests invited by Mayor Candela, truly extraordinary."
"Pink Sausage Dragon, do you know him?"
"I don't know him."
The kindly smile on Pancho's face stiffened.
"Hahaha, who doesn't know the mayor is hosting two young people from Lungmen."
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
Enesto arrived hurriedly at this moment, and the four began chatting.
But compared to the lively conversation here, the other two had slipped away elsewhere.
"Boss, two ice creams, four scoops each. One vanilla, two chocolate, and one blueberry."
Not long after, Fiammetta walked over holding two ice creams. However, compared to the ice cream, the smile on her face was clearly sweeter.
"Here, Kevin... Huh?"
After handing Kevin his ice cream, Fiammetta looked suspiciously towards the next table. There, a tall figure in a black dress sat with her back turned. Even when she lowered her head, her remarkable height couldn't be hidden.
Siu Wong looked inexplicably at Hoshiguma's series of actions, completely baffled.
"Don't recognize me, don't recognize me."
She could only pray.
"Officer Hoshiguma...?"
Pozëmka's tentative inquiry undoubtedly shattered Hoshiguma's last shred of hope.
"Mhm, long time no see."
"It really is you! Hoshig... Mmmph!"
"Shh! Pozëmka, don't get excited."
"Aiyo, miss, keep your voice down. Don't let Pink Sausage Dragon hear."
Both of them reached out to cover her mouth simultaneously.
So they ran into acquaintances?
No wonder Hoshiguma was acting so strangely. Siu Wong definitely didn't want to be exposed now.
Otherwise, the upcoming fun might not be as interesting.
"Let me introduce you. This is Officer Siu Wong, also a colleague of mine and Old Ch'en's."
"Oh, hello, Officer Shi. Nice to meet you."
"I told you it's Officer Siu Wong (Shi Huaiya), you idiot!"
