The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 265

265 Rachel Markway V.S Zac Tude

“There are two rooms that don’t have CCTV cameras in them. I think they are the rooms of Derric Hubbert and his deputy, Juan Xavier. Earlier, I had seen a man come out of one of those rooms. And I’m sure it wasn’t Derric, but Juan.” Kathy explained.

Emma nodded. “Okay. I understand. Please don’t open the prison cell door before you get my orders. It turns out that there are more of them than we thought. Maybe this will take a little longer than planned.”

“Got it,” Kathy replied.

Then Emma turned to Rachel. “Could it be that Derric is at their base?”

Rachel shrugged. “If that’s true, he must be heading this way.”

“Kathy still can’t find where all the printed documents. Since Juan is the only one here, we should go to his room. Maybe that way, we can get a clue to all the documents.” Emma said.

Then, as they were about to continue their journey, suddenly they heard the sound of running footsteps heading towards them quickly. The step sounded heavy and rough.

Hearing danger approaching from behind their backs, Emma and Rachel immediately jumped sideways as far as possible.

The figure that had been running towards them was already standing in the middle of the two masked girls. He was a dark-skinned man with a height of about 2.5 meters. His black hair was neatly braided back in a Crown Row style. He was Zac Tude, the leader of all Beast Empire’s men.

.....

Emma and Rachel glanced at each other. Behind the masks, they both let out a long sigh because, in every mission, they always found something like this. A sudden obstacle came and made them have to separate.

“I’ll take care of him,” Rachel said.

Emma nodded with a curt sigh, “Be careful, Rachel.”

“Don’t worry about me. Good luck.” The tall girl replied.

After that, Emma quickly left to reach the stairs to the next floor. Seeing this, Zac immediately attacked her to stop her. However, his attack was quickly parried by Rachel, allowing Emma to escape safely.

“You can’t touch him before stepping over my corpse.” Rachel said as she put on her Boxing stance discreetly.

Even though she had a body height that was taller than usual women’, her height was still nothing when compared to her opponent man now. This was Rachel’s first time fighting someone so far from her height.

Linda, Britney, Cecil, and Ava were spreading around the main warehouse area. Each of them led small teams assigned to attack several points of the location to break the attack focus of the Beast Empire members.

Although this was the first time for the four girls to lead a war, they did very well. In the end, the number of members of the Beast Empire they had defeated was piling up. This meant that they had almost managed to finish off the members whose half of them were students from various martial arts studios.

But the four girls did not know that a terrible monster they had to face was coming. Unfortunately, the monster first appeared in front of Britney who was leading the fight in front of the building’s entrance.

A man emerged from the large doorway of the building. He had fair skin and blonde hair. He was barely two meters tall, with very large and solid muscles. All the skin on his body was covered in various tattoos. That man was called Elbert Scarpsky, a pillar of the Beast Empire’s defence.

After beating one man to the ground, Britney realized that a large man standing in the doorway watching her with his sharp blue eyes.

Britney’s face instantly turned pale with widened eyes. She had never seen such a scary man in real life. The man had a figure that Briteny remembered as the fighter on the TV show Sm*ck Down, which her older brother used to watch when he was little.

Then Britney pressed the button on her mouthpiece. “Guys, looks like I need some help here. A monster appeared all of a sudden. I don’t think my team can handle it,”

“I’m done here. I’ll be there now. Hang on a minute.” Linda answered.

“I’m almost done too. We’ll be there soon.” Ava said.

It seemed that Cecil was still quite busy with her pos. But for Britney, two help from her friends may be enough. To be sure, she really needed help here.

“All right. Please don’t take too long, guys.” Britney said with a small laugh that didn’t imply a funny situation, but she laughed because she was embarrassed at herself for being so scared.

**

Rachel heard Britney’s call for help. She was annoyed that she couldn’t come to help.

It seemed, after the members had fallen a lot, the Beast Empire core team had finally decided to show their presence.

Rachel didn’t know what the ability of the man she was dealing with was, but from the attack he had just directed at Emma, ??it showed that he was a Taekwondo user.

Rachel learnt that Emma was highly trained in Taekwondo. Her abilities were great, making her a good coach for all the members.

From all the knowledge that Emma gave, Rachel knew that Taekwondo martial arts used a lot of legwork. And the man in front of her had a pair of long and slender legs. Plus, his body had a large posture, although a bit thin, but his bones also looked big and thick.

Even though she had studied a lot of martial arts, since Rachel had become an expert in Boxing from the start and was comfortable with it, the technique she still relied on as much as possible was Boxing. Therefore, Rachel was more dominant in using both hands in fighting.

Rachel understood that it would be her weakness in this fight. Although she had an arm’s length that was beyond the standard of a woman, it would be far less than the length of the legs of her opponent.

Zac stared at the thin figure of a man standing a few steps in front of him. The man didn’t look like he could do any martial arts, but Zac didn’t want to rush into judging him.

Even though he hadn’t put up any stances, Zac often heard the news from his subordinates about Black members who were tall like normal men. They said that the man often used fists to knock out his opponents. From there, Zac could tell that the man in front of him was a Boxer.

Zac hopped on the spot before stepping forward to attack Rachel with an Upper Side Kick. Quickly, Rachel dodged to the side. It turned out to be true that the man was using Taekwondo techniques.

In an unequal battle like this, Rachel had to keep in mind that distance was important. Since the man’s arms and legs had longer reach than hers, Rachel had to stay away from him, so as not to be hit by his attacks.

‘I already know how Taekwondo black belt holders fight. You have no idea how great my master is,’ Rachel said in her mind. What she meant as a master was Emma, ??her best friend.

Like most boxers, Rachel would keep moving. Her feet never stopped doing small jumps in turn. She would move left and right quickly to outwit her opponent. Even so, her eyes never missed the sight of the man’s feet.

“Are you trying to outwit me? It’s useless, you know?” Said Zac with the stance still forming. He put his fits beside his head. He knew that boxers would tend to target the head area.

Rachel chuckled. “Speak after this fight is over,”

“Oh.. You’re so confident, aren’t you?” Zac said.

“I believe that you are weak,” Rachel answered to provoke him.

Rachel knew well that a man would feel angry if he was called weak. From the various battles that she had been through, she realized that one would tend to be more reckless if a fight was ruled by anger.

After saying the last sentence, Rachel got her legs ready as Zac moved swiftly toward her and swung a high kick towards Rachel’s head with his right foot.

Seeing this quick thing, Rachel dodged while pointing her back while swinging it to the right. She moved in the opposite direction to the direction of Zac’s kick that swung from right to left.

Once Rachel managed to dodge, she straightened herself back up and moved forward, as if there were four tiny wheels on the soles of her shoes. Then she quickly hit the right side of Zac’s body, right on his liver.

Zac didn’t expect that his opponent could move so fast. Actually, the opponent who managed to dodge the kick was a natural thing. He didn’t give a very serious kick either. But he did not expect that his opponent could move so fast.

With his right foot still not touching the ground, the hit on Zac’s liver was extremely painful. It made him fall to the side and writhe in pain.

Rachel’s punch was so hard that it made Zac instantly find it hard to breathe, feeling his heart beat slow and like he was about to lose consciousness. In fact, Rachel had deliberately put all her deepest strength into that one punch.

Zac’s previous attack actually opened an opportunity for Rachel’s rapidly spinning brain. Rachel remembered a video left of her late father when he was still active in the boxing world.

In the interview tape, her father mentioned how influential Liver was in his victory at that time. At that time, the father did win the fight after dealing a hard blow to the opponent’s Liver.
