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."You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"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.

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.
