As soon as Marcus leaped onto his sword, the director of the Tourism Board yanked him back down.
While reeling him in, the director snapped, “Marcus, that’s a 250 fine!”
Marcus sputtered, “You little tyrant, you’re ruining mel
He was now caught up in an intense standoff with the director of the Tourism Board.
Melody summoned all her strength, performing a swift backflip on the spot to dodge the fighter’s whip kick.
Yet, it seemed he was familiar with a few Cleussau’s martial arts moves, as the two clashed in an intense back–and–forth.
The audience stared, unable to look away.
It was clear this man had been chosen by Gregoria as their champion for the event.
The fighter’s power left Gary feeling uneasy.
He hurried to assist, but after taking only a few blows, he was forced to retreat.
His gaze shifted to the final Cleussau’s member in the ring, Jake.
Rumour had it that Jake had been trained as an assassin by the Finns from Sommerville.
Robson, the family’s head, also held a position in politics.
Jake had reached the finals purely through his skill, but he was like an emotionless statue, following commands without any apparent will of his own.
His sole desire was to secure the championship that night.
He had no responsibility to bring glory to Cleussau.
Yet, as Melody was gradually pushed back and Gary received a kick to the face from the fighter, Jake’s icy gaze finally showed a glimmer of emotion.
Yet he remained still.
His focus was solely on completing his own objectives, and in his view, it would be beneficial for either. Melody or Gary to be knocked out.
His only concern was facing Rosen and the new rising fighter from Gregoria, Merck.
Even Melody was surprised to discover that Merck had a solid grasp of Cleussau’s martial arts and could even anticipate her actions.
It felt like he was deliberately being used as a “human weapon” against Cleussau’s martial arts.
Gary crashed to the ground once more, coughing up blood; his bruised and swollen face made it hard to

recognize his once handsome features. However, he didn’t have time to worry about himself and quickly warned Melody, “Mel, watch out behind you.”
Melody frowned as she noticed that Rosen, who had been inactive up until that moment, was finally making his move.
Despite his massive build and muscular arms veined with strength, he possessed impressive speed along with explosive power.
He had been watching Melody’s actions closely for quite some time.
Now, seizing an opening with Merck’s assistance, he cornered Melody and launched an attack from both the front and back.
They launched their attacks on Melody simultaneously
Each punch targeted her head. One was directed at her forehead, while the other targeted the acupoint at the back of her head, with the intent to end her life!
In that instant, the swords at the waists of Owen from Silverpeak Sect and Julian from Elysian Sect were poised to strike once more.
“D*mn it, what kind of nonsense is this two–on–one situation?
“Gregoria is making a foolish mistake once more. Melody is really in a tough spot this time; one opponent. is Rosen, a three–time champion of underground boxing, and the other is Merck, who has spent ten years secretly training to take on Cleussau’s martial arts techniques …
“It’s no surprise that Merck appears to counter every move Melody makes. Gregoria is devious. Even though this year’s competition appears to be taking place in Sommerville as part of a global tour, it’s obviously aimed at undermining Cleussau’s strength and cultural confidence.
“They know that martial arts experts from Cleussau will undoubtedly compete for the title, which is why they’ve deliberately created this ‘human weapon‘ to keep them in check. Their motives are contemptible!”
Although Melody moved quickly, she was still up against two powerful fighters skilled in boxing and combat.
Confronting even one of them was tough enough.
Now, as they both attacked at once, Melody momentarily froze, wondering if this was truly how her life would end.
She blinked and quickly evaded their strikes.
A calloused and scarred hand unexpectedly seized her delicate wrist.
Before Melody could respond, she was abruptly shoved aside.
Hearing a low grunt from the man beside her, she looked up in surprise, locking eyes with Jake’s cold, emotionless gaze.
Then, she noticed Merck narrowly avoiding a lethal blow while Rosen’s strike hit him squarely in the back.

Crack!
The sound of bones snapping echoed.
Melody’s mind was spinning, but she couldn’t afford to pause. Her nimble body moved like a soaring dragon, launching another strike before Rosen had a chance to react.
The girl was ready to strike again.
