The Bodyguard System

Chapter 141: Intense Battle

"What is going on? Could it be that Alfie is holding back?"

"Who is Alfie? I have never heard of him."

"It is that guy over there. I don't really think that he belongs to our school, but still, he is in here. He is the one that is fighting against Scarlet."

"Eeh…who is Scarlet?"

"Are you an idiot? If bald head there is Alfie, then it is obvious that the lady is Scarlet."

"Oh, I get it. And who is winning?"

"Are you crazy? You have so big eyes, but you cannot see that the fight is currently difficult to determine who the winner is? Don't tell me that you are short-sighted despite having big eyes…"

"Hey, I did not say that you should abuse me. Just give me the answer. If you don't want, you can just shut your big mouth!"

"F*ck! Do you want to enter into the ring after they get out? I have to teach you a lesson!"

"Enter the ring your foot! Do you think that I am a fighter?"

"If you are scared of fighting, then get lost!"

"You…"

"Hey bro, who is that feisty girl? She is extremely powerful, and good at fighting."

"You there to call her feisty? Do you have a death wish? If this information reaches her, you will definitely be done for."

"Ah? Is it that serious?"

"Is the fight serious to you?"

"Yes of course. I can see that the fight is extremely fierce. I cannot survive in that battle for more than 1 minute."

"Then do you think that the lady that is not losing in this fight, despite fighting for so long, not be serious if you suddenly start calling her names?"

"Ah… Can you not tell her?"

"$200. Give me $200 and I will not tell her."

"Are you trying to blackmail me? Why don't you just rob me instead?"

"I don't really mind robbing you. Just wait after we go out of the school compound. I will definitely rob you."

"Tsk! What a braggart."

As the fight between Alfie and Scarlet reached the climax, the crowd that was watching could not help but begin clamoring. They had not expected that the fight was going to be this entertaining.

It was extremely difficult to be able to find a fight between students being this exciting. So, some of them had already taken out their phones, and were recording what was going on. Everyone that was recording had a thought of their own, and so, they were quite excited.

Everybody had emotions of their own, and while Lucas was a little surprised, he was also excited. If Scarlet won this time, that implied that their group would definitely be the leaders within the school when it came to fighting skills.

Even though that did not imply that he was going to be the strongest within the school, still, the leader of the group was going to be considered as the strongest person within the campus.

Of course, he was happy about it. At the end of it all, he was planning to have Scarlet to become his woman. And the pride of conquering such a woman was something that he was looking forward to, when he could freely claim that Scarlet was his woman.

Thinking about the future, Lucas could not help but look at Jaden. He realized that Jaden seemed to be nonchalant about Scarlet's improvement. Still, Lucas did not care, as he was already having a plan on how to deal with Jaden.

Harry on the other hand was the one that was feeling a little restless. Ever since the fight began, Alfie did not gain any advantage. Instead, it seemed that he was the one that was at a disadvantage, even though they disadvantage was small.

For a moment there, he could not help but wonder if Alfie was holding back. But looking at the way that Scarlet was fighting right now, it was clear that she was fighting at a level way higher as compared to before.

Additionally, it seemed that every time that Alfie made a move, Scarlet would have already anticipated it, and reacted on time. It did not seem that she was having trouble handling the attacks from Alfie.

He was getting more restless as the fight kept on going. Alfie had already received several attacks from Scarlet, and he was a little injured. Scarlet on the other hand was completely unharmed.

Had It not been that he knew Alfie, he would have definitely thought that Alfie was throwing the fight away. But he knew that it was going to be impossible for Alfie to give up on this fight, considering that the deal that they had made was that Alfie had to win.

He frowned, as he contemplated on what to do. Then, he looked at Lucas, who was looking back at him with an arrogant expression on his face. It was clear that Lucas was happy about the current situation in the ring.

Even though Harry was p*ssed off, he did not say anything. He could only hope that Alfie would win the battle. Otherwise, not only was his reputation going down the drain, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to take over the position of the president of the fighting club anymore.

If Scarlet managed to win, she would prove that he was more skilled than he was. At that time, with the support of the majority of the students, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to take over.

After all, while Scarlet would have depended on her own strength to be able to take over the position of the president, he on the other hand was only relying on outside help. And, this help was not going to be present the entire time, and so, it would be impossible for him to be able to take over if he did not succeed today.

Even though he was anxious, there was nothing that he could do. He continuously prayed in his heart, that perhaps Alfie was still holding back. If he went all out, he would definitely win.

But he was a fighter. And from the way that Alfie was fighting, it was clear that he was not holding back at all. In fact, from the veins that had already popped up even on the bald head, it was clear that he was straining while fighting against Scarlet.

Harry could not help but wonder what it was that Scarlet had done during the time that she was away. It was clear that she had improved, and quite a good margin at that. To be able to deal with Alfie, even if it was not easy, it was still quite an improvement from the last time that she had been defeated.

Inside the ring, Alfie and Scarlet continued exchanging attacks. The battle between them had already reached the climax, and the winner was going to be decided in the next few minutes.

They had already been fighting for more than 5 minutes already, and even though it was a shorter time as compared to the previous fight, still, they had gone all out.

Currently, Alfie's bald head was shining even brighter due to the sweat that had accumulated on his head and face reflecting the light within the gym, with his clothes even being soaked in sweat.

His breathing was kind of erratic, as it was clear that he had been straining, going all out, and he was almost out of breath while fighting against Scarlet. There was no chance for him to take a break, considering that if he was not attacking, he was busy dodging the attacks launched at him.

And none of the attacks that were being launched by Scarlet could be underestimated. A few attacks had already landed on him, and he was currently experiencing pain all over his body.

And as time kept going on, more and more attacks kept on landing on him, continuously decreasing his combat power. With the injuries that he was suffering hindering his movements, it was getting more and more strenuous for him to be able to dodge the attacks, or even launch attacks at Scarlet.

Scarlet on the other hand, even though her clothes were currently soaked in sweat as well, she was obviously doing better. She was breathing a little heavily, but it could not be compared to Alfie.

She had been training to defeat Alfie, and so, she was taking advantage of every mistake that Alfie made. At the same time, she was preserving her energy, ever since Alfie began attacking.

At the start of the fight, she was the one who had taken the initiative to attack. This had made Alfie to go all out, launching all of his attacks using his full strength, with the intention of taking her out as soon as possible.

She, on the other hand took advantage of every time that she managed to dodge his attacks. She would immediately counterattack when an opportunity presented itself, while the rest of the time, she would simply preserve her energy while dodging the attacks.

In the end, Alfie was frustrated. He had realized that he was not going to be capable of dealing with Scarlet. But when he thought about the consequences of not winning, he could not help but use his will to resist giving in.

At this moment, in his heart, he was screaming that he would not lose. No matter the consequences, he had to win.

It was just that despite his strong willpower, it was not able to help him from being dominated by Scarlet. Scarlet was moving so fast, and it did not seem like she was tired at all, completely different from him, who was worn out at this moment.

Bang!

An attack suddenly landed, making the crowd that was watching suddenly fall into silence. Then in the next moment, they erupted with cheers and exclamations.
