Chapter 207 Has The Hound Run Out Of Luck?



The woman's predictions were quite accurate and not surprising because mecha fights had analysts and predictors who watched the games and liked to foreshadow. These game analysts were highly followed, sought after and well known in the mecha fighting community. This special skill of theirs could even break down the moves of a fighter giving their opponent enough time to learn their skills and find a way to maneuver every pitfall, leading to a victory.

She had no intention of denying what Alice, the sweetest and thousands of fans already knew. So, she admitted to it, "Yes," Scarlet said, "It was never my intention to lag around in division one, I neither have the time nor the passion to dedicate myself to the fights frankly."

"So," Alice bent her head slightly and poked her face directly in front of Scarlet's. "Is it true then that you are the governor of the female blue star? Everyone talks about it but there is no official confirmation like an interview or a star note."You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"I am." She confirmed with a smirk, It was no secret after all.

"Well I will be damned!!! I am sitting with royalty over here," Alice shook her head in a round movement and she made a weird facial expression. "What's it like being royal? Do you all really sleep in gem studded beds and drink nutrient solutions synthesized from S class mutated beasts."

Scarlet was surprised by the woman's enthusiasm on equating her identity with royalty. Now that she thought about it closely, she was royalty by virtue of being Esong's wife!!!!

"Hot damn, I am a royal!!" Scarlet laughed.

"Yes you are." Alice concurred.

"But I don't sleep in a gem studded bed and I eat food instead of nutrient solutions." Scarlet added.

The Northern paladin cursed in his heart, for he was not expecting her to be so direct. While he avoided her whips, he sent out the curved blade from his staff, aiming for her eyes, if she could not see, she could not whip.

Scarlet was not afraid, she kept moving forward, directly confronting the blade whipping it with her ropes from every angle that it attacked while defending herself against the power kicks the paladin sent out. His strongest skill was in his feet it seemed because the power kicks carried the most energy, The closer she came, the more her opponent backed away, extremely agitated because most fights involved distance and avoidance as if they were tap dancing around each other.

She, on the other hand was like a maniac, she just kept coming forward like a mutated beast and trying to reach him.

In the audience, a teenage boy said to his friend, "This would be cooler if we could bend like in avatar, imagine this fight if they were benders."

"She would be earth bending the hell out of him right now." his friend replied.

"Finish him!!!" a third member of their party of three shouted. This fight, the hound had taken time to showcase her skills, not rushing like the last one.

But Scarlet would not hear the trio as her attention was on the paladin whose blade had just grazed her cheek. Scarlet stood still in the middle of the ring, touching her cheek, so close to her mouth, on the area where the blade would have opened her up if she had not been swift.

"The hound had been injured, I repeat, the hound has been touched by the paladin's blade." the game announcer enthusiastically announced and the audience went wild. Was this it? Was the hound's short lived successful run finally over? Those who had bet money on the hound to win crossed their fingers and hoped or prayed that this would not be the case. Those who did not bet but knew a few friends or relatives that did looked around for such people, wanting to laugh at them and remind them of the many adverts on star net and televisions which cautioned them against betting or claimed it was dangerous for their health.

It was not unusual on the sun star however, for one to come out of winter with an empty account, betting on mecha fights was the number one cause of poverty in the empire. It was also one of the quickest ways to get rich quickly so that axe swung both ways, you could engage in it at your own risk.

"Has her luck finally run out ladies and gentlemen?" the announcer continued on.
