302 Emma Hilland V.S Creed Johnson

Britney swallowed with difficulty. She immediately looked for Linda’s whereabouts and apparently she had disappeared. She was truly alone now.

“Scared? HAHAHA...” Elbert laughed out loud.

Of course there was a feeling of fear in Britney’s heart. So, it turned out that the Beast Empire had joined forces with Dragger? Maybe they deliberately included the cowardly group members in the middle of the fight. Pablo seemed to be that sneaky.

Now, the number of members from both sides was not balanced. Britney knew surely that at this time, she wasn’t the only one who was having trouble. She would not be angry if Linda looked as if she had left her. She was sure that her three companions must have been beaten back by this wave of aid.

“Does someone who has been overthrown deserve to speak like that?” Britney asked, getting into her stance. It looked like she had to do a lot of acrobatics now.

Elbert’s hands clenched tightly. He looked at the stupid costumed tiny man viciously. “I’ll crush you like gum!” he growled before running to lunge at the man.

“Shit!” Britney jumped aside as far as she could. But after she landed, another man swiftly threw a kick at her.

Britney didn’t have time to dodge perfectly, so the kick still hit her hip. Even though it hurt, she didn’t have time to stop for a moment just to moan because the men that surrounded her immediately attacked her in a barrage.

‘Oh, Lord! Looks like I can’t get past this,’ Britney screamed in her heart while continuing to dodge, parry, and return punches that were aimed at her.

.....

Britney’s eyes widened even more when she saw the group of men in front of her split. It turned out that they were making a way for the Blonde Monster to face Britney.

“GRAAA!!” Elbert exclaimed as he swung his hand downwards, right at the tiny man who could no longer run away.

Britney couldn’t run anywhere anymore. She was surrounded by men who seemed to form a cage to lock her up with a man-eating giant.

Britney could only close her eyes. It would end here. Not only ending, but actually dying here. Did she regret her decision to enter the Black Swan and get into trouble? Of course not. She was proud if she died honourably in the struggle against criminals and defending the truth.

A sound of a powerful blow rang in Britney’s ear. At first, she thought it was a blow to her body which was now separated from her soul. However, she soon realized her preposterous thoughts after hearing a male exclamation.

“Hey! Don’t stay silent there!”

Britney’s eyes opened wide immediately. Her eyes fell on the figure of Elbert who was sprawled on the ground. He was still twitching and trying to get up but seemed to have difficulty. Seeing this opportunity, Britney kicked the big man’s face until he completely fainted.

Britney then looked around to find who had just shouted at her. She knew that it was that person who had knocked Elbert down and saved her from death.

Before Britney found anything, a punch was flying towards her head. She realized it and immediately dodged and punched the person back.

“Are you seriously daydreaming at a time like this?” Nicko asked once he could get closer to one of the Black members who was almost dead.

“Thank you. But what happened?” Briteny asked directly while facing the incoming attacks.

“Dragger played dirty. They have so many men hiding and are realizing them out right now. Troy wants us to regroup.” Nicko explained.

“So, shall we go from here?”

Nicko nodded. “Pull back all troops,”

A smile formed on the lips of the man who had the height of a professional basketball player. He looked down at the short, ridiculous masked man in front of him.

Emma’s light brown eyes stared intently at Creed. Her stance was well-formed. She didn’t know what Creed’s fighting style was like. She was curious about the boy who was said to be unbeatable and deadly.

Creed’s one step forward signalled that their fight had finally begun. Emma was undaunted by Creed’s intimidating move until he was standing right in front of her.

Creed smiled. “I like your guts”

“I have no reason to fear a brat like you,” Emma replied before shooting a kick forward with a shot at one of Creed’s knees.

Emma’s movement was fast, but Creed’s movement was no less fast. The man immediately turned his leg while swinging his arm at the same time to strike the side of Emma’s face.

The girl immediately dodged by turning her back. Quickly, Creed swung his long legs three times forward.

In truth, Emma’s first attack was just a test to find out what kind of fighting style Creed had. Creed himself had very long legs, which made Emma have to make sure whether his legs were agile or not. And from the way Creed avoided her kick speed, it gave bad news for her.

“He’s agile. Looks like he has Taekwondo skills.” Emma muttered under her breath.

It seemed that Creed was smart enough to take advantage of his physique, which had long arms and legs. That would be very profitable for him because he would have a long range.

Creed’s fighting style made Emma quite overwhelmed. He was a Street Fighter who mastered several random martial arts techniques. He also never gave pause in attacking his opponent. This was Emma’s first time facing an opponent who had a somewhat similar fighting style to her own.

Even though she was a bit cornered, that didn’t mean she couldn’t fight back. She moved quickly while aiming attacks at the man’s long legs. From Emma’s experience so far, she often saw that the longer a person’s legs, the greater the risk of injury to their feet, especially because Creed’s legs were rather skinny. The man had not built the muscles for his legs, perhaps, so he could move nimbly.

“Catch me, stick!” Emma said to burn the big boy’s emotions.

“Thanks for the nickname,” Creed answered with a wide grin while swinging his kick.

Emma immediately dodged with a snort. Apparently, Creed was not the type of man who was easily provoked. This would be a troublesome fight for Emma.

A smile crossed Creed’s lips. He knew that the Black leader was trying to provoke his anger so he would fight recklessly. However, little did the midget know that Creed Johnson was the most easy-going man in the history of the dark world of Handway.

Creed had always played games. From there, he actually learned a lot to control his emotions. He was smart enough to realize that temper would only make him lose the game or... the fight.

“He has a lot of energy. His movements won’t slow down. His body is tough. His anger can’t be provoked either. I have to think of a proper way to take him down,” Emma thought breathlessly. She had dealt a lot of punches to the tall man, but nothing seemed to have had a significant effect on him.

Emma’s eyes scanned around quickly while continuing to parry and counter-attack from Creed. Then, her gaze stopped at an angle that made her smile faintly.

“Oh, Emma. Why are you so stupid? Didn’t think of that earlier?” She muttered to herself.

As soon as Creed threw another kick, Emma quickly caught his leg even though it meant she had to accept the kick.

“Ugh!” It felt like Emma was going to vomit blood from the kick her chest had to deal with when she received the kick. However, she soon took her mind off the pain and hugged Creed’s long leg.
