Chapter 1222:

He couldn’t help but scoff at Maren’s slender frame, convinced she was no match for his size.

Without even bothering to defend himself, he reached out with his right hand, making no effort to avoid Maren’s attack.

“Come on, sweetheart. Before I put you down, at least let me see what those soft hands feel like.”

He let out a booming laugh, certain he’d snatch Maren’s punch out of the air and savor the touch of her skin.

“Such a shame. She’s breathtaking, and now that sleazy man is going to kill her. What a terrible loss.”

“I’m pissed off! Why couldn’t I be the one to go up against someone like her?”

“The rule’s clear in Underground Fighter Combat. One must die before it ends. Do you think that creep will mess her up first, then do whatever he wants, ending her?”

“Wouldn’t surprise me. And he might drag it out, too. I swear, I’ve never laid eyes on someone that gorgeous.”

“Honestly, it’s a tempting scenario.” The man in the ring caught the exchange and began to entertain the thought.

Lust crept into his smile.

Then, without warning, his face twisted in agony.

A sharp snap rang out. The sound was unmistakably that of a bone breaking. The man screamed while clutching his mangled arm—Maren’s punch had done the damage.

“My arm! Damn it! You had something hidden, didn’t you? This pain’s unbearable! Ahhh!”

“You couldn’t handle it. That’s your problem.”

Weapons were strictly forbidden in Underground Fighter Combat. Knowing that, it was obvious Maren hadn’t cheated. The truth was simple—her punch carried enough power to destroy his arm completely.

Maren didn’t bother explaining herself. As he howled from the first blow, she delivered a second—this time from behind—and ended it with a swift strike that snapped his neck.

“Victory goes to the Dark Hills!”

With a clear view of the final moment, the announcer wasted no time in declaring Maren the winner.

“Perfect! Just perfect!” Orlando shouted, pleased with how things turned out. Even though the rival wasn’t part of the Axe Gang, they managed to take back the territory and assets they’d once lost.

“She got lucky this time. Sure, she made it out alive, but we will finish her off eventually,” Jovanni said, unease creeping into his tone.

Excitement surged through the rest of the gang.
