Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 209 The Luckiest Hound Strikes Again.

?

The host's hand trembled slightly and his eyes were filled with both amazement and rage. Were these fighters here to sabotage the fights? What the hell did they think they were doing by surrendering without fighting?

"Crazy Jerry," he said slowly, "Think about your words, are you sure that it is your aim to surrender?" 

Crazy Jerry, unlike the host who was dismayed, was very nonchalant and he even smiled, "I surrender." he repeated, "The hound wins." 

"What?" 

"What does he mean?" 

"Are they all colluding?" 

"Give us our money back if you are colluding?" 

Suddenly, more than one unhappy voice shouted in the arena, all calling for the return of their money. Some were booing while others screamed in excitement because if the fighters were afraid to fight the hound then she had to be a very strong contender for top position. 

"Please calm down," the host said to the crowd, "We have yet to understand why crazy Jerry is surrendering. Crazy Jerry please explain your reasons for surrendering."

"Explain." 

"We need answers." 

"The fight has been rigged."

Above the arena in VIP seats, one of the directors of the mecha fights had been called to assess the situation and he was cursing up a storm. The fights were a money making venture, did these fighters think they were here to play games?

"Don't let her challenge anyone else today." he yelled to the host. 

"Before Crazy Jerry can formally address the question, we are declaring the hound the winner. As of now, the hound is the new number five on the virtual champions roll." The victory pomp was quickened so that they could get rid of her from the stage before she could say anything else. "Ladies and gentlemen, give the hound one last round of applause as she heads towards the VIP seats." 

Scarlet almost petulantly dragged her legs because she was practically being shoved off the stage but her thirty minutes were up. Since she had no intention of sitting around, she waved at Alice, grabbed the host's mic and said to the crowd, "This lucky hound will see you all at my grand finale." Then, she saluted, smirked and left the virtual world. 

She was laughing when she opened her eyes, feeling extremely cheerful for the havoc she had just created and the bomb she dropped before leaving. 

It was a bomb alright because even as the host clamed the crowds in the virtual world, word was already spreading. When the hound returned, she would be gunning for number one. 

"Haha," the host was laughing dryly, "The hound is full of surprises really, now crazy Jerry, what were you saying?" 

Crazy Jerry shrugged and said, "I am a man of fists and the hound likes to mind games. You all saw what the former number ten did, he leaped into oblivion on his own. I would rather not humiliate myself, the best fighter is one who knows when the opponent has the upper hand." 

"Boooo!!" 

"Cowards."

"Fight her." 

There were many reactions from the crowd, most of them negative. They would rather watch them lose the fights and be humiliated than surrendering easily without a fight. 

"If you think you can take on her mind manipulation skill, go ahead, I welcome you. No, I challenge you." Crazy Jerry added, looking at the crowd. Then she returned to his position, he got to where he was by proving his capabilities and there was nothing more for him to prove. 

"Wise choice." the golden wasp bent forward and told crazy Jerry. "Number ten is already being humiliated on star net, we have our reputations to think about." 

The others agreed with him because everyone up here could fight the other head on confidently because they understood each other but not the hound, she was an anomaly that came out of nowhere with no plan to stay long. Let the anomaly leave the division and they could battle amongst themselves. 

"Move it along." the director told the host. 

"Next in the ring ladies and gentlemen...."

 Scarlet drained one whole bottle of water first before leaving the training room and finding her way to the living room. "Gertrude," she called as she walked, "I need a massage." she mumbled. 

Slowly, as she walked, a random thought crossed her mind, 'could she levitate instead of walking?' Was it possible with mental strength? She had not seen anyone doing it however did that mean it could not be done? 

Stopping herself, she stood in one place and looked at her feet, and then she concentrated hard, willing her mind to lift her body. She was frowning so much that she almost appeared to be constipated but she was forcing her body to relieve itself. Tion, who was following her from a distance away was quite puzzled by her bizarre behavior. 

"What are you doing?" a woman's voice surprised her from behind. 

"Shit!" she said as she went down head first, crashing into the floor. 

However, before she could actually land on the floor, her body was suspended and then slowly but gently returned to an upright position. "

Woah!" she exclaimed and turned around to look at Tion and the owner of the voice, Lora. "Which one of you did that?" 

"That would be her." Tion pointed to Lora and said. 

The woman had a thin white mask covering the side of her face which professor Sham was treating. She was standing behind Scarlet in a plain white jumpsuit, white shoes and a thick white long cotton jacket covering her from head to toe. 

"That's my jacket." Scarlet said. 

"And that's my bracelet." the woman replied coldly. 

Scarlet gasped and hid her arm behind her back. "Is not." she said like a child. "It just looks the same." She brought her hand forward again because she recalled that only two people could use this bracelet and one was dead. "I have yours in my bedroom." 

"Then I would like to have it, bring it to the room." Lora said. "I would also like to have a meal now, one for my daughter too because she has finally risen." She turned around and walked away after dispensing orders as if she was the owner of the castle. 

"I don't work for you, you know." Scarlet shouted at Lora's fading backside. "And that is still my jacket."

"I don't think she cares." Tion told her. 

Looking at Tion, Scarlet, looking extremely childish said, "I will not take anything to her, I am not her maid." 

"I never said you were." Tion replied. 

"Humph." She spun around and squeezed her eyes shut briefly because they both knew she would give someone orders to take mother and daughter a meal. In addition to that, she would personally deliver the storage bracelet to Lora so that they would discuss other things. "Aah, she is so cold." Scarlet muttered.

Tion, still overheard her and he added, "She is just like the winter snow." 

As expected, it was the maids that delivered Lora's meal to her and her daughter while Scarlet lurked around the kitchen, speaking to two of the cats which had just returned from outside the shield. They could blink and appear outside the shield and when danger struck, they could blink and return to her bedroom. 

"Is there anything to worry about?" she asked them. 

"Humans running around foolishly, nothing else." the brown cat replied. 

"One almost died, something came from the ground and ate his arm." the white cat added.
