Chapter 280 Shouldn’t We Be Worried?

This fight was in no way going to be an easy one and Ace was very much aware of that and unlike his last fight, he was going to cautiously take this one seriously.

He got up from the floor and summoned his scythe. He was going to try and stick to more physical combat and use his wind ability for close calls and whenever he got space to effectively use it against her.

"Nice scythe," Christine said, walking closer to him.

Ace didn't say anything as he quickly sent out a wind slash.

Christine used her whips to knock the wind slash off but that was only a distraction as Ace sprang up with the help of his wind ability and quickly descended on her.

She did a black flip as Ace struck his scythe into the ground, that was a mistake on his side as Christine quickly sent her whips towards him.

He pulled his scythe out of the ground and thrust himself up with his wind ability to avoid getting hit by the whips.

"If I get closer to her, she won't be able to effectively use her whip against me." Ace muttered as he quickly thrust himself towards her at the same time her whip was returning to her.

He landed in front of her and kicked one of her whips off her hand with a kick.

She had retaliated with a kick down his gut but he had been able to reduce the impact of the kick by forming a swirl of wind on the spot just before her leg could hit it.

Christine tried to grab her fallen whip but Ace sent a wind slash just in between her hand and the whip to stop her from reaching it.

Christine pulled back her hand as Ace quickly swung his scythe towards her.

She wasn't in the best position to defend herself or avoid the attack as the scythe hit her and sent her a few feet back.

Ace knew right from time that the main threat when fighting against her was her whip and that was why he wanted to dispossess her of both of them.

One was already done and all that remained now was for him to knock the second one off her hand.

He rushed forward towards her with his scythe and once he had gotten closer to her he swung the scythe to try and hit her again but he had made a mistake in attacking openly like that.

She switched the whip to her right hand and swung it towards Ace's scythe.

The whip wrapped around his scythe as she yanked the scythe far away from him.

p Before quickly pulling back her whip and striking him with it.

"Arghhhh." Ace groaned as he pressed his hand on his shoulder which had begun to bleed now.

Christine tried to strike him with her whip again but he quickly used his wind ability to push himself away from the whip's reach before sending out a barrage of wind slashes.

Christine was doing a good job of avoiding the wind slashes as she did flips and slides to avoid the wind slashes while redirecting some of them with her whip.

She was supposed to be moving back while avoiding the wind slashes but she was doing the opposite as she get moving forward with her flips and jumps.

Ace had caught the gist of what she wanted to do as his gaze turned to the whip on the floor but before he could grab the whip her other whip wrapped around it and she pulled it back to her hand.

"Back to momma," Christine said as soon as the whip had entered her hand.

"Oh come on." Ace said in frustration as he let out a very wild wind blast.

Christine tried to find her way around this one but the force was just too much for her as she got blasted back until she had crashed against the walls of the arena.

Ace was glad that he had been able to get an effective successful hit on her but there was a problem with using that attack again.

Using that attack again might exhaust his wind points and losing all his wind points in a fight against Christine wasn't going to be a nice experience for him.

Earlier that day, just before everyone had started moving to the arena, George had decided to have a meeting with the top members of his gang.

The top members were Rodney, Brad, Brolin, and one other person who were all sitting on the couch while George was on his so-called throne.

The main reason why George had told them all to gather here was because Brad had told him that there was something he wanted to tell them.

"Ok, Brad, you said you wanted to tell us something," George said a little while after everyone had settled down.

Brad hesitated for a while before he got up from where he was sitting.

"I had an encounter with the guy in a hood last night," Brad said.

"You did, how?" Brolin asked.

"Zach asked me to help watch their back last night and that was when I met him, I shot two arrows into his thigh and he used his water ability to knock him down from the tree.

"Luckily for me, I didn't get hurt from the fall but when I came out from the bush he had already knocked the three of them out.

"He fought me like he never got shot in both of his thighs and managed to knock me out."

"So you called us here to tell us how you got knocked out," George said.

"No, there was something that happened before he knocked me out," Brad said.

"What?" Brolin asked.

"He blasted me with a water blast, it didn't hit me but I could feel the temperature against my face and it was really hot," Brad said.

"Hot?" Rodney said, raising his eyebrow.

"So what are you trying to say?" George asked.

"What I'm saying is that Rodney had his skin washed off by a hot water blast which Luis Miles had used on him and last night the hooded guy used the same attack on me, his first water blast wasn't hot but that one…."

"So you're saying that Luis Miles," Brolin said.

"Is the guy in the hood?" Brad completed.

George let out a short chuckle that got the others confused for a second there.

"I knew that it had to be that green-eyed crap showing up in masks to ruin our business," George said. "But don't worry, I have a plan to get rid of him for good."

"But shouldn't we be worried that he has two elemental abilities, can heal abnormally fast, and single-handedly took out me and Brad?" Rodney said.

All the things he had just mentioned were enough for them to be afraid of him and George was aware of that but he just wasn't going to admit it in front of them.

"He won't be able to single-handedly take out what we have planned for him," George said with a wry smile on his face.
