Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 134

Shi Lang was in the middle of tagging a guy when his communicator buzzed. He finished tagging and checked the message. The message surprised him more than his discovery of Terran captives held by mind-controlling natives.

Zysha approached him and asked, “You seem surprised.”

Shi Lang asked, “How do you know?” throughout this hunt, the youngster had yet to take off his mask. He did not understand how the beast could know that he was surprised.

Zysha replied, “I don’t know but you smelled like you were.”

Shi Lang recalled that the human brain secretes some hormones when it experiences surprising situations. He said, “Yes, I was surprised in a way. The goals of the hunt have changed.”

Zysha did not know what it meant, Shi Lang did not tell her, he raised his communicator and looked at the message that said, Directive update: Defeat target, Quinn, location xxx

This message basically told him to go some place, find Quinn, and battle with her. He could not help but try to deduce what was going through X’s mind. On the other side, Quinn received the same message and they both gave up the task to tag people and moved through the woods again.

The sun was high but it will soon be evening. On the way, Shi Lang came across a few Terrans and he tagged them, just in case, as for the natives they did not move out much in the noon. After avoiding a whole lot of trouble the youngster arrived at the location.

He closed his eyes and said in his mind, “Zysha, only act if you find me in a grave situation. Okay? Hide well.”

The beast nodded and hid in the woods. The place both the people were told to go was a clearing in the forest. It was ten meters wide, like a natural square. Shi Lang held his antler knife and walked out from the shades, he said, “Come out, I sensed you long ago.”

A silhouette rushed at him from the shades, Quinn did not waste any moment. This was her nature, when she was tasked with something, she will move right ahead. Shi Lang was half expecting this so he was not caught off guard. As Quinn arrived at his left and using her bare hands, she tried to punch his jaw.

However, Shi Lang was not a rookie, he took a step back. The fist flew, missing his face by an inch, and as it happened, Shi Lang moved forward and his knee dug right in Quinn’s ribcage. The attack was not held back at all, it sent the girl up in the air. However, Quinn was not an easy catch either, she ignored her disrupted breathing and her elbow made contact with the right side of Shi Lang’s jaw.

While the young man retreated by two steps, Quinn also panted to catch her breathing. If Shi Lang’s attack disrupted her breathing, her attack disrupted Shi Lang’s balance.

After the effects wore off, which was just a second, the two were back at it again. Shi Lang was aggressive and his knife was leaving almost no room for Quinn to counter, but she was slippery, able to dodge all the attacks aimed at her. However, their battle was not without excitement, if she managed to hit Shi Lang, it came at the cost of mutual harm.

Ten minutes into the fight, Shi Lang’s offensive was getting slower. Quinn has not let his blade get close to her for more than a graze. She mumbled, “You ain’t no ace.”

She exploited the slow and sluggish thrust made by Shi Lang and caught hold of his right arm that was stabbing at her. She placed his right arm across his chest while she held him in a hold from behind. However, just when she was thinking about how to proceed with the attack. Shi Lang let go of his knife, Quinn saw it and had a bad premonition, but her body was tired and not fast enough to beat the gravity.

The knife fell and Shi Lang caught it in a reverse grip with his left hand. Then he stabbed it backward, right inside the rib cage of Quinn. The pain made her loosen her grip, Shi Lang was free, but he did not let go of the knife in his hand and said, “I will twist it if you tried to move anymore. I have no habits of discrimination when it comes to my targets.”

Quinn stayed still, Shi Lang gave her a heavy punch on the temple and knocked her out. The duel came to an end. After three days, the Hunt was finished. Zysha came over after a few minutes and asked, “You fight well, you lured her into it.”

Shi Lang nodded while he gazed at the knife stuck in Quinn’s ribcage. Zysha followed his gaze and asked, “Do you want to take it out?”

The youngster shook his head and said, “It is the reason she is not bleeding to death. Let it stay inside.”

…

As the duel ended, the lady responsible for monitoring Quinn’s welfare in the place came inside and when she saw the scene on the screen, she was frightened and her body was shivering. She was enraged, she yelled, “What the fuck has happened here, how did they get into a fight, who is this bastard, how dare he hurt the lady, etc”

X said, “Calm down, the chopper is on the way to pick them up.”

The lady nodded heavily and said, “I will have him skinned. This bastard dared to harm the lady. I will..”

Her words were yet to be completed, when X choked her with his palm, he said in a cold voice, “This is the Card Class, the people here are all equal. They have ranks and status when they go back to whatever shithole they came from, but here, even if it is the president of the Federation himself, he will have to abide by the rules I make. Let alone his daughter’s servant. Do you understand that, Servant of President’s daughter?”
