"Hey, that''s too much!"
Frank was protesting at the emcee. "Why are all the bets predicting my defeat? Can''t I bet on myself beating Jaden Favoni in ten strikes?"
The emcee was taken aback, as was Jaden despite his impatience.
Still, Jaden soon snorted and stared Frank pointedly from head to toe. "Who do you think you are, brat?! You, defeating me in ten strikes?! I could let you have them for free, and you still wouldn''t reach my sleeve!"
"Now, now. That might not prove to be the case." Frank wagged his finger, grinning in amusement.
Then, shouting below the stage, he said, "Anyway, I bet 500 million that I''m winning!"
The hall was sent into a frenzy, even as Frank''s bet was shown on the electronic board as he announced it.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Nodding in approval, Frank eximed, "Now, that''s fairness!"
On the other hand, Jaden had lost all patience watching as Frank kept wasting time and snapped icily, "Are you going to fight or not?!"
"Yeah! Start the fight!"
The spectators were getting upset too-they wanted the thrill of watching fist striking flesh, not Frank''s stand-upedy routine!
"Alright, alright, let''s fight. But before that, we need to set the rules, that is..."
Frank kept yapping and nced sideways at Jaden.
Seeing that the other man was glowering so hard he could bleed, Frank''s jovial expression abruptly turned serious. "Well, let''s get started." Jaden almost choked and coughed blood as Frank threw yet another curveball, and his rage toward him boiled over just then.
He wheeled on the emcee right then and barked, "Start the fight!"
"Yeah! Start the fucking fight already!" Troy shouted anxiously from below stage.
If Jaden went down even before the fight, his n would go up in smoke!
"Alright! Ready... fight!" the emcee announced, and he abruptly felt a dark blur shooting past him as he watched.
Naturally, it was none other than Jaden, who had lost all patience.
Pow!

"Huh?!"
He looked up right then.
He was always confident in his speed, so how did the brat stop his lightning-quick blow?!
Outside the ring, however, all the
spectators saw were a blur, and they
cheered as Jaden was suddenly in

The man''s reputation was definitely deserved, as he was so quick that the average Joe could not keep up at all!
Meanwhile, Frank was smiling.

His words left Jaden glowering.
Arrogant brat! Getting smug just because he caught his punch?! Well, he asked for this!
Vaulting off the floor, Jaden poised his foot for a Hillsplitter!
This kick would strike Frank in the head and keep going.
Even the audience could see that if the blow struck true, Frank''s head would burst apart like a watermelon.
"Yes! Yes! Kill him!!! Kill that bastard!!!" Hugh shouted excitedly, almost falling off his wheelchair.
"Watch out!"
Susan sped a hand over her mouth, while Walter appeared clearly worried too.
Frank, however, simply chuckled. "Heh."
