Sabrina Conner and Barnes Smythe have a good relationship, so he couldn’t just watch Barnes being brutally killed by Adrian Desmond.
Yes, brutally killed!
Actually, the fight was already decided; Adrian could have stopped, but he didn’t.
Barnes was punched by Adrian until he spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Sabrina couldn’t bear to watch anymore, so she said to Marion, "Marion, if you don’t save Mila, I will!"
Sabrina took off the soaked jacket and walked into the battlefield. Adrian noticed soone entering and turned his head to look at him with a cold gaze.
"Sixth Master, please let Mila go; he’s at his limit." Sabrina said, standing behind Adrian.
Adrian’s strong arm was clutching Barnes’s neck, turning his face blue. He couldn’t breathe, and the air in his lungs was running out. He felt like he was dying.
Seeing Sabrina standing in front of him, Adrian released his arm, discarding Barnes like trash, and looked down at Sabrina.
"Do you want to duel with too?"
"Barnes’s close quarter combat skills are better than mine. If Barnes can’t defeat Sixth Master, I’m surely no match for him as well."
"If you can’t even beat , what’s the point of dueling?"
"I..."
"Did you co here to die?"
"..."
Adrian looked at him with a ghostly gaze, "I rember you; you ntioned wanting to challenge in a team shootout."
Sabrina’s confidence was punched away by Adrian, who was a legendary figure to begin with. They were too arrogant, believing Adrian could be underestimated, which led to their contemptuous attitude.
"Do you know what a duel is?" Adrian suddenly asked.
"..."
"Once you step into the arena, one must die and be carried out.
Every match is a deadly contest; it’s either him or . My combat skills were honed through such battles, not through playful practice like yours."
Everyone was too scared to breathe heavily, no longer daring to underestimate Adrian.
Adrian stepped on Barnes’s face, his expression icy, "No wonder my woman and I fell for others’ traps repeatedly; turns out the base cultivated worthless people like you over the years!"
Adrian selected the elite to protect Sienna Johnson and his daughter, yet Night Owl managed to eliminate over twenty bodyguards around Sienna!
These people not only failed to introspect but were also so arrogant.
"With just these skills, you dare act arrogant in front of !" Adrian kicked Barnes’s stomach hard, making him spew another mouthful of blood.
"Sixth Master, we dare not anymore. Please spare Barnes." Seeing Barnes coughing up blood again, Adrian’s next kick might take his life, so Sabrina pleaded for Barnes.
Adrian looked at Sabrina with a smile, "... Do you know how to graduate from the place I was in?"
Sabrina listened attentively to Adrian, and then heard him say, "By killing the one closest to you; be it a family mber, friend, or... lover!"
Adrian couldn’t do it; he’d rather die himself than let Sienna and Curly get hurt.
Sabrina also couldn’t do it, so she said, "Then are you still human?"
"You were ant to be weapons in my hands. Weapons don’t need emotions."
"..."
"Didn’t you want to challenge in a team shootout? Let’s bet. If you win against , I’ll spare this coward’s life; but if you lose, I’ll throw him into the swamp to fend for himself."
If Sabrina hadn’t witnessed Adrian’s ruthlessness during his duel with Barnes, she might still have the courage to fight. But now she’s not confident.
"Sixth Master, I can’t win!" Sabrina said as she lowered her head.
Adrian’s gaze swept over the fifty or so people present, his voice soft but heard by everyone, "I know you all don’t accept . If you don’t, step forward. We can duel... or you can all gang up on ...
Co, show your skills."
"..."
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want with ! Even take my life!"
The fifty or so people looked at each other, so with eager eyes, so with retreating glances, each with their own thoughts, unable to reach a consensus.
Adrian made the decision for them, "Co at all at once!"
Brandon Potter couldn’t care if Adrian was angry now; he ran to Adrian’s side, face full of rain, and shouted, "Sixth Master, if they won’t listen, just teach them a lesson and let Barnes go. I’m sure he won’t dare anymore."
