The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 267

267 Three Against One

In fact, Elbert had no idea what was in the three midgets’ minds. They were tricking him, pretending to attack him from the front. It was only a fool who would attack from the front, knowing that the enemy’s front part was his strongest side. Then, who was the real fool here?

At the same time, Elbert received a kick on the outer thigh and outer side of his knee. He didn’t expect it, and it made him stagger because the two-footed kick indeed hurt.

While groaning at his leg, through the corner of his eye, Elbert saw a shadow aiming at his head at full speed. Luckily, he managed to protect his entire head in time with his big muscular arms. Therefore, he survived the kick.

Ava landed on the ground again and immediately jumped backwards with a long distance. She was breathless as she looked at the tall man with a sharp look. “Damn it! My kick was parried again.”

“You bastards! So, now you cockroaches dare to fight me because there are three of you?! You cowards! I didn’t expect Black to contain a bunch of cowardly dwarves!” Elbert exclaimed.

“Hey! Look at that rhinoceros-like body of yours! You expect us to fight you one by one? You are the more cowardly one!” Britney replied sarcastically.

“How dare he speak that stuff about Black?! He must learn something!” Ava said.

“Looks like he’s a bit stupid, guys. If we play smart, it might not take us long to beat the man,” Linda said.

“We can’t use the earlier method because he already knows the pattern,” Ava said.

.....

Elbert gazed at the three chipmunks that were surrounding him from about two meters away. He knew that the cowardly men were working together to devise another plan to take him down. He had to be more careful.

“Lost plans? HAHA!” Elbert mocked.

The girls were silent, paying close attention to the man in their midst. Britney’s kick seemed to have a pretty serious impact on Elbert. She did have the strongest legs out of the three of them.

“Run his breath out,” Ava said suddenly, without taking her eyes off the man.

“What?” Her two friends asked.

“People of that size are not good at doing Cardio. They are weak at it because their own body weight is too heavy. That way, the energy they have is not as big as ours.” Ava explained.

Ava’s explanation made Linda nod quickly. “Nice! You’re right, Ava. The only way to start against a big opponent is to exhaust him. If we have to be shrews to beat him, why not?”

“Then let’s attack him one by one. Play with his strength and concentration.” Ava said.

Then the girls started to play their game. Alternately, they attacked Elbert with swift movements. Like a man hunting for shrews, Elbert was provoked by the game of the three masked girls.

Ava, Linda, and Britney took turns giving Elbert some blows at several points. The points were the solar plexus, the two outer thighs, and the side ribs that cover the liver.

They didn’t put all their energy into those blows because they still had to conserve stamina. But still, if it was done as often as possible, the blows that had previously felt nothing on Elbert’s body, began to become painful.

The girls’ plan worked. Elbert did have a very large body. However, because of his size, his movements became much slower than the three girls who could move like mice.

As time went on, Elbert finally started to look tired from his slowing-movements and the sweat that soaked his body that was not wearing a top.

“He’s exhausted,” Said Britney happily. Her fear of the man was gone, and was now excited because she can prank him like a clown.

“His breathing is fast now. It’s time to attack his solar plexus. Try it while he’s inhaling, guys,” Said Linda.

“Okay!!” The girls answered.

Elbert was overwhelmed. The three dwarfs then hit him with very fast movements. They were so agile that when Elbert was about to catch or hit them, they could always dodge away with ease.

When Elbert was getting tired, his breathing pattern became fast because he needed a lot of oxygen for his heart which was pumping harder. But the three mice could see the opportunity clearly. They began to hit Elbert’s solar plexus in turns. And yes, the blows felt pretty painful when he was in this state.

When he couldn’t take it anymore, Elbert eventually used one hand to protect his solar plexus which became the point of their attack.

But what Elbert didn’t know; the three men, who turned out to be women inside, actually smiled behind their masks. In fact, it was his attitude that they had been waiting.

“You know what to do, guys,” Linda said with a smile.

Then, she ran around Elbert twice before turning her body to approach the man from the side. Elbert, who saw it, immediately protected his solar plexus with one hand, while he brought his other hand to give a blow to the shrew that tried to approach him in that annoying manner.

As Elbert’s punch flew towards her from above, Linda dodged it immediately. After dodging, Linda still managed to hit the man’s inner calf to get his attention.

With Elbert exhausted and all his focus on Linda, it was Ava and Britney’s chance to make a serious attack.

Britney, who had been guarding from behind, kneeled one meter beside Elbert’s body with one leg forming a foothold.

From afar, Ava ran straight at Britney and stepped on the foothold made by her to jump. Then Ava twisted her body with a kick and one leg bent, and..

BOOM!!

Elbert’s hands instantly dropped limply, hanging at either side of his body. He stood in a daze and after two seconds, fell straight forward.

Ava’s flying round kick hit Elbert’s chin. For Ava, it was a one-time opportunity that should not be missed. Therefore, she tried to move as fast as possible and deliver her strongest kick.

The three girls stood around the big man, who had fallen on his stomach and face kissed the ground. Their entire bodies were covered in sweat and they were also gasping for air.

For the first try, it was excellent progress if they could defeat a man of that strength despite having to work together. But in the end, they managed to do it.

As it turned out, the pillars of the Beast Empire were indeed not that strong. Neither Derric nor Juan had poor talent or martial arts skills.

All they were always thinking about was the money flowing into the business they were running. Therefore, they were also unable to choose a suitable person to serve as a pillar of their group’s defence.

Elbert Scrapsky was just a man with a big body and muscles. He continued to enlarge and tighten all the muscles in his body, expecting those muscles would become the perfect shield to protect him from any blow. With all those muscles, the punches and grips he produced were extremely lethal.

But Elbert never took into account, what would happen if he faced an opponent who was actually much smaller than him.

Elbert Scrapsky did insist on increasing his muscles. That was because long ago, he fought as a savage wrestler who played in the show ring to entertain.

But he never paid attention to fighting techniques or sharpened his brain. Therefore, in a fight like now, he was successfully knocked down after becoming the toy of the shrews he had previously humiliated.

Jen Marrie Street was a haven for Handway City dweller that was looking for women and gambling.

Like other nights, the street, which had a rapid business flow, was never deserted. No matter what happened, Jen Marie Street would not die,

for now.

That night, Derric Hubbert was accompanied by Rude Boy to have a meeting with Pablo Diablo, the owner of Jen Marrie Street. They came escorted by several men.

An eight-story building stood on Jen Marie Street. Compared to other buildings that were decorated by a collection of twinkling neon lights, this building was the most ordinary looking.

Beast Empire entered the main glass door of the building. They were directed to enter a rather large meeting room. After entering the room, they did not find Pablo there.

“Late as usual,” Derric muttered.

RB smiled wryly. “He doesn’t want to wait for anyone else. He wants people to wait for him. That is him.”

“He really is a schoolboy,” Derric said.

Not long after, the person they were waiting for finally came. A young man with an eccentric hip-hop style and a large gold necklace and ring around his neck and fingers.

He walked in a casual rude manner surrounded by several of his bodyguards. If it was said that he was a high school boy, then everyone would believe it. But if you look at the business he had, everyone would shake their heads.

Realizing Pablo’s arrival, Derric and RB immediately rose from their seats.

“Hey! How’re you doing?” Derric gave the boy a ‘Bro’ greeting.

Pablo smirked kindly. “Well.. As you can see.” he spread his arms at his sides. “What about you guys? Is business going well?”
