209 Who's next?

"Kan? Kan?" A voice rang out from behind. Kan quickly turned, and behold, it was Emily rushing as fast as she could.

"I thought you said you're not coming?" She asked as she approached him.

"Well, I had a change of heart." Kan replied, stating the obvious.

Emily approached him and hugged him, which Kan accepted.

"I bet you enjoyed the match, huh?" She asked as she tapped his nose playfully.

"Yeah, I even met a fan of mine out in the crowd." Kan explained.

"Wow, Star Kid is gradually gaining popularity, nice." She giggled.

Suddenly, she saw Evelyn coming right away from a far; she hissed and grabbed Kan by the hand.

"Let's go back home, please," she begged.

"Sure, we are, but why the hurry?" Kan inquired as he noticed a sudden change in her demeanor. She looked annoyed now and was in haste to leave that place.

Kan didn't see Evelyn as she was coming behind him.

"Nothing, really! Just tired of standing. I need some rest," she said as she gently dragged him away.

"Well, in that case, you'll need a massage," Kan replied.

"That will go a long way in getting me back on track, let's head to the massage center then?" Emily inquired.

"Why go there, when there's one standing before you?" Kan replied with a smile, referring to himself.

Emily laughed and replied, "hope you won't end up breaking me apart instead of mending me?"

"Well, there's one way to find out," Kan replied plainly, and they continued walking.

"And do you have your very own massage center?" Emily inquired curiously.

"Absolutely, I heard there's an empty room in one of those buildings; we can occupy it and do as we wish," Kan replied, pointing at a large building ahead of them with a fewer number of people walking in and out of it.

"Sure," Emily replied as she followed him to the room.

*********

"Die!!!" One of the werewolves shouted as he unleashed a powerful punch to the face of his opponent, who was on the ground, staggering.

They were in Joaquin's underground, engaging in their usual ritual of fighting and killing for fun and training.

Joaquin sat comfortably on a large seat in the midst of the crowd, smoking his pipe as usual.

The crowd of supporters cheered as the victorious werewolf continued to crush his opponent's skull with mighty fists.

The victor was now half-transformed into a werewolf, while the defeated opponent lay on the ground as a fully transformed being.

Three other lifeless bodies were sprawled on the ground, their dried blood painting the arena red.

The victorious werewolf, Jamie, displayed his long claws as he walked around the ground, anticipating a new opponent. However, there was none, and the crowd remained in a silent tension.

"Who dares challenge the undefeated Jamie?" Marhal announced, the question echoing through the underground.

"Who among the ranks dares challenge Jamie's victory?" Marhal repeated, but the silence persisted among the crowd.

Jamie proudly showcased his long claws, eagerly awaiting a challenger, yet none stepped forward.

"Well, in the absence of another challenger, I hereby declare Jamie the...." Before Marhal could complete his statement, a voice rang out from the end of the ground.

"I will challenge him!"

Heads turned toward the direction, including Joaquin's.

A particular smile appeared on Joaquin's lips as he recognized whose voice it was.

"And the challenger is none other than Suzzy, one of the Riot twins!" Marhal announced.

As he made that announcement, a very loud and cheerful noise erupted from the audience.

It was evident they were in full support of Suzzy. Their support stemmed from the recent successive undefeated matches the twins had in the ring.

The crowd had grown fond of them, already placing bets in their favor. Though only Suzzy was challenging, their faith in her didn't waver.

As bets were placed among the crowd, a sudden shout in unison hailed Suzzy as she walked majestically into the arena.

"Inferno! Inferno!! Inferno!!!" They chanted.

Jamie, once a victor, trembled slightly as he saw his new opponent walking towards him, wearing a long gown with a hoody covering her face.

He knew Suzzy wasn't an ordinary opponent. He needed to be vigilant and smart if he ever wanted to win against her.

Joaquin moved his fingers across his mustache and smiled; he knew what was coming.

Suzzy stood before Jaime with the hood still on, and she began by saying, "Are we proceeding with the rule of fight till death, or do you wish to change the rule?"

Jaime, a proud combatant, wasn't ready to bring down his reputation in front of the crowd, so he decided to continue the game without changing the rules.

"Feeling a bit jittery, are we? If you knew you weren't up for it, you could've just chilled and not thrown down the gauntlet! It's a fight to the death!" Jaime said, trying to fight back.

"As you wish!" Suzzy said, and suddenly fire erupted from her hood and took it down within a split second and extinguished itself.

It was evident she had gotten better at wielding her powers after a series of training sessions with Joaquin.

Her womanly face was now revealed as the hood burned down. Her hair was now red and almost burning due to the power she possessed.

Her eyes burned outrageously as she smiled mischievously at Jaime.

She unbuttoned her gown to be more comfortable during the fight. As the gown dropped, it revealed her tight-fitting black outfit, straining firmly against her now bountiful breasts and curvy hips as she walked towards Jaime with the same mischievous smile on her face.

The chanting from the crowd heightened as she approached Jaime.

"You're a goner!" some of them shouted.

Jaime roared, and his half-transformed self became even more fierce, his claws sharper now. He angrily and swiftly rushed towards Suzzy to unleash an attack.

Suzzy, annoyed by his erratic movements, said, "Sad enough, the last thing you did was being stupid!"

As Suzzy retorted, a thick inferno evolved from her body and enveloped Jaime. The inferno moved through Jaime and disappeared within a split second.

In that instant, Jaime's flesh dropped from his bones to the ground with a sizzling sound. His bones followed his skin, and the smell of burnt skin filled the area.

The crowd shouted even more after the downfall of Jaime. Some who placed bets collected their money and continued their chatter.

Marhal approached the front and asked, "Anyone to challenge Suzzy?"

He knew he asked just to fulfill the rules of the game, but he never anticipated an answer, as he knew no one was going to challenge Suzzy anymore.

In an unexpected turn of events, a voice rang from the onlookers, "I, Sully, will challenge her!"
