Chapter Ninety-Three: The Determination of Epiphany
"So~ do you want to gain power?"
It stands to reason that when ordinary people hear such demagogic words, generally speaking, there are only two reactions, one is distrust, and the other should be a scolding neurosis.
But Claire was not thinking of one of the two at this time, and her expression gradually became strange, it was hard to imagine such an expression of a person who was usually unfazed.
The reason for this strangeness was none other than that Claire felt that this sentence seemed a little familiar, and then he remembered that this was not the strange black hedron that had bewitched him before. The only difference between the two is probably the tone.
But soon, Claire put on an indifferent look again, and the rapid change in her face couldn't help but make the confident Mai Zhuo on the side muttered in her heart.
"What strength can you give me?"
This abrupt remark made Mai Zhuo, who was originally calm, stunned, but then she reacted, and then said with a smile:
"Whatever you want, I can give it, open mountains and crack rocks, the sky and the earth will crack, and the fire will burn the sky...... I can give you these sisters~"
As she spoke, the demon girl also stretched out a green onion finger as if unconsciously, and then bit her lower lip, her scarlet nail polish combined with the seemingly casual charm, which would really make most men unable to resist.
Claire, however, was unmoved, at least on the surface, looking like no one was going to get close.
Seeing that his small actions did not achieve any results, Mai Zhuo was not annoyed, but stared at Claire directly, and then said lightly:
"Be sure to think it through~"
Claire heard this, he only now noticed something that he had been ignoring, that is, he was still not sure of defeating the woman in front of him, not even to mention winning, in the face of this woman's terrifying speed, he really couldn't even run, and the position where the two of them were now was still in a small alley where there were no people, even if others passed by and saw it, they would never dare to approach.
If you refuse the request of the rakshasa in front of you, you may not be able to do something very violent.
Damn it.
Faced with such a situation, Claire couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in her heart, and then turned her brain to think about countermeasures quickly.
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and Claire, who inexplicably had a feeling that something bad would happen if she agreed, did not speak for a long time, and the coldness in Mai Zhuo's eyes gradually rose, and it seemed that if Claire did not agree in the next second, she would shoot directly.
Just when the tense atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier, Mai Zhuo, who was originally full of cold glint in his eyes, suddenly smiled:
"Haha, look at the little handsome guy, you are scared, okay, my sister has already given you advice, remember to give my sister an answer in the future."
By the time she got to the last double word, Madjo had disappeared from Claire's sight, and it was unknown how she did it.
At the third intersection in front of Claire, a heroic and capable figure stood there.
Needless to say, this was Liana, who had accepted Colonel Seaton's orders, and since she had strategically halted the tracking operation that day, Claire had been given a brief period of free time, at least not to be monitored for anything.
But today is different, today is the day to sign up for the KOF competition, Liana, who has a dual task, naturally will not fail to sign up, coincidentally, she and Claire came to sign up at a very close time, so after Liana passed the pre-selection, she quietly followed Claire again.
As for why Claire didn't find her this time, the reason is that he put all his energy into dealing with the woman Mai Zhuo (don't think crooked~).
So Liana, who had just arrived for a while, happened to find the scene of Mai Zhuo and Claire smiling through the military telescope, which was actually a factor in the conflict between many families, because Liana immediately told Colonel Seaton about the situation, and then disappeared into the alley.
Mai Zhuo was also caught off guard, and then found Liana, and estimated that he couldn't help the two of them to join forces, so he covered himself and ran away with the advantage of speed.
After ten minutes, Claire, who was sure that Mai Zhuo was gone, gradually relaxed her tense and sore muscles, and let out a long breath.
He finally understood now how flawed his martial arts might be, and it might be fine to run into an evenly matched opponent, but it would be a nightmare to run into an opponent like Mai Zhuo who has martial arts expertise.
But what can be done? I don't have any experience fighting those martial artists.
Claire, who had never felt so decadent since the crossing, couldn't help but secretly shake her head and smile bitterly.
However, just as Claire was about to go back to the bar after sarcasm, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him stop his steps abruptly, for fear of interrupting this train of thought.
No, my martial arts talent is not bad, it can even be said to be excellent, but why can't I improve after this kind of intense training? Don't have enough time to train? Could it be that years of a secret service career are empty? What's more, Xing Ye can practice the Divine Palm, he was beaten so badly by the Huoyun Evil God, and in the end, he didn't practice the Divine Skill...... Wait, fight ...... Miserable.
Claire, who felt as if he had grasped something, frowned, pondering the truth, and then he suddenly realized, and the joy between his eyebrows was also about to come out.
Playing! That's right, the ancient Chinese martial arts halls had to learn from each other, and then improve and prove the strength of their own faction in actual combat, yes, definitely this one. Behind closed doors is never as good as brainstorming, how did I fall into this strange circle before and not think of it?
I immediately felt remorseful in my heart, you must know that in the past few months, Claire has had quite plenty of time except for her daily relaxed bartending work, not to mention that Mei Yanzi has become a shopkeeper, going out to travel every now and then, and then closing the business. There's a lot of chance for Claire to go out and fight against other martial artists.
However, it is useless to regret it now, Claire, who missed many good opportunities due to caution in the initial agent mission, naturally knows this truth, and it is too late to make amends if she starts now.
With this in mind, Claire put her depressing experience behind her and walked towards the bar with renewed confidence.
I'm going to do it, and I'm going to be the best in this martial arts world!
