Chapter Eighty-Eight: Encounter
No matter who fights, there is a certain deviation, and just one or two wins or losses are not enough to determine the status and results. It is precisely because of this that even if Einstein defeated Hancock, he only became famous, and did not win the awe of everyone in one fell swoop, but became a benchmark for others to become famous.
Compared to the long-established Knight Captain Heberys, the young Einstein was much easier to deal with.
The title of the Great Martial Arts Festival is not so easy to come by, and it is easier to earn fame and status by beating Einstein...... There are not a few people who think like this, and the bald people are one of them.
Walking through the woods, there was no sound in my ears other than the inconspicuous sound of footsteps.
The long-haired man listened to his own heartbeat and footsteps beating, and a sense of annoyance rose in his chest for no apparent reason.
It was a little too quiet, and although it was not ruled out that it was a deliberate arrangement for the finals, the long-haired man still felt a little uneasy, and as he got closer to his destination, the uneasiness expanded.
This doesn't bode well, as a professional assassin, the long-haired man doesn't take intuition for a lot of things
"Our plan ...... Will it go well?"
In the end, the worry was still above the temptation of fame and fortune, and the long-haired man carefully observed the face of his companion, as if casually mentioning it.
Out of the corner of his bald eye, he glanced at the temporary teammate, then turned his attention back to the road.
"It's a great opportunity for people like us who don't have a chance to win a championship. β
The retreat of his teammates is seen by the bald head, who himself perceives the anomaly and feels the same uneasiness as his teammates, but he chooses between vague uneasiness and fleeting opportunity.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as we take out the Einstein Leviathan who is said to have defeated Hancock King, our value will rise, and it is not impossible to even be classified as the strongest of the human race, compared to what we need to do is an abnormal battle. β
The bald head explained the benefits and disadvantages one by one, but he didn't know whether he wanted to convince his teammates or himself.
"And this is the final of the Great Martial Arts Festival, and no one is going to die in this much-anticipated event. β
In other words, even if you fail, you can leave a life. This is already a negative thought that presupposes failure, but even the bald head himself doesn't notice it.
Seeing that the morale of the team was about to bottom out, the blonde youth pursed his lips.
"Don't be so pessimistic~, we will definitely succeed. β
Once you open your mouth, the following words will come out with the flow.
"Compared to the nobody who doesn't know where to come from, our side is much stronger, let's go and teach that despicable villain a little lesson-. β
Before he could finish speaking, the blonde youth snapped his fingers onto the branch above his head, tossed his body up by inertia and centrifugal force, and then burrowed into the dense canopy like a monkey.
The moment the blonde youth left the ground, something flew past his back at a superfast speed.
Boom!!
An unimaginable thud rang out behind him, the land was torn apart, the trees were broken, and the unidentified object violently eliminated everything in its path with unstoppable force.
ββThat was ...... just now. The blond young man blinked vigorously, and at the same time as he was attacked, he could see clearly what had attacked him, it was shining, round, flat and thin, and it was carved with cumbersome patterns, it was definitely a gold coin.
The blonde young man grabbed the branch and hid behind the branches and leaves of the tree, silently touched the slightly stinging back, and put in his hand a hot damp feeling, it was blood, just being rubbed and tearing the flesh and skin on his back, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you couldn't believe that it was a wound caused by gold coins.
This is really an incredible experience, when did gold coins become such a powerful secret weapon?
"Are you alright?!"
The bald head hid behind the trunk of a tree, and asked loudly while on guard and attacking again. He and the long-haired man reacted and immediately found cover nearby, creating some obstacles for the enemy even if the cover had no practical effect.
The blonde youth glanced at the bald head from the gap in the leaves, and wanted to wipe the blood from his hands on the shiny bald head, but now was not the time to do such idle things, so the blonde youth gently brushed away the leaves and looked in the direction where the attack came.
Looking beyond the trees and terrain, the blonde youth soon spotted the figure in the white snow.
Pitch-black suits, gray-blond hair, and although they couldn't see their faces clearly, the blonde youth was sure that this was their target - Einstein Leviathan.
Einstein walked slowly closer and closer, and soon came to a distance of twenty meters, and it was only then that the blonde youth saw the young man who was being targeted.
The handsome face has a soft line, it is the kind of handsome type that will be sought after by girls, and it is easy to make people feel good with a beautiful face with a gentle smile, but the more this happens, the more it makes the blonde youth feel an unstoppable chill running on his back, because just now, this man with a smile on his face mercilessly killed himself, if the blonde youth was not so alert, he would have been turned into a torn corpse by the gold coin.
Einstein's eyes swept over the hiding place of the bald and long-haired man, and finally fixed on the canopy where the blonde youth was, and then spoke in a gentle tone.
"I'm not so depraved as a vile villain by a mountain monkey. β
The blond young man was stunned for a moment before he realized that the mountain monkey should be talking about himself, after all, he said 'despicable villain', and he also has the agility of a monkey. After thinking about it like this, the blonde youth was furious, the reason why he was killed was such a bad word? What does this bastard think of human life?!
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, the blonde youth inhaled his anger and cold air into his belly, and after breaking open his eyes again, there was only calm left in his eyes, and now he was considered to have entered the battle, even if he wanted to teach this ruthless guy a lesson, he had to win this battle first.
"I've been waiting here for a long time, and I'd have fallen asleep if you came any later. β
Einstein said to the hidden trio with a smile on his face, just like to his friends.
The bald head saw Einstein's gaze at him, knew that the other party had grasped his position, and the other party had not shown his intention to attack since the first attack, so the bald head walked out from behind the trunk generously.
"Your Excellency is waiting for us?"
The bald head grasped the giant axe on his back, holding a posture that could attack at any time.
"Not for you, but for all the people who will come. β
Einstein didn't take the bald posture in his eyes, but just turned his gaze.
The utterly non-hostile appearance gave the bald head the absurd idea that the man would not move even if he was held to the neck with a great axe.
"I have basically understood human desires, and I have expected this situation since I knew that I had become famous for defeating Hancock. β
Saying this, Einstein's smile revealed sarcasm and contempt.
The bald man didn't know if the man was sarcastic about himself and others or Hancock, but that didn't affect the bald man's riposte.
"That's why you're waiting here to bring us down, it's really touching. β
Einstein did not react to the bald head's riback, but continued his words.
"Your desires are really interesting things, and I want to thank you a little bit for your thoughtfulness. β
The bald head jumped in his heart, if Einstein was telling the truth, then it meant that the other party had the intention of attracting other people to his side from the beginning, if he just wanted to win the championship, it was okay to say, but the bald head instincted that the purpose of this man was not the champion of the Great Martial Arts Festival, because this man did not have the atmosphere of a contestant at all from beginning to end.
Just like that, Einstein disappeared from the face of his bald head.
"Upper!!"
Before the bald brain could react to Einstein's trivial, the long-haired man's voice rang out.
Almost subconsciously, the bald head pulled out the giant axe and blocked upward.
Qiang !!
