Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 217: The Wager!

Lucian looked around and was dumbfounded. The room wasn’t actually where Phyllida was since he couldn’t see anyone who looked like her.

It was a hall, a slightly huge one that could easily contain about a hundred people. But currently, this hall that was supposed to be used for announcements or other important meetings had been transformed into something else by the students. It was just like a brightly lit club.

And the joint where the guys under Phyllida could relax, play and have fun, grabbing a couple of drinks with their friends.

A few seconds ago, the music had been playing quite quick and fast and the beat was heart pumping with both the ladies and the guys dancing to the rhythm of the fast tempo.

But suddenly, the door opened and almost immediately, everything stopped. The song, the beats and the dance. It was as though time it self had paused. The almost twenty some students in the club all simultaneously turned their heads as they stared towards the door.

Lucian immediately got goosebumps from the numbers of eyes in him.

Coughing out an awkward laugh, Lucian’s voice echoed in the silent large hall. "Don’t mind me guys, I’m just passing through." deep in his heart, he was cursing the young lady for leading him straight into the lions den. ’I knew women are just too wicked!’

Saying that, he raised his hands up, showing that he was harmless and walked backwards slowly toward the entrance but all of a sudden, a large steel chair was thrown in his direction.

"Bang!"

"F*ck!"

"Who is this punk?"

"He dares crashed the party? F*ck him up!"

The crowd suddenly turned frenzy as they yelled in fury as though they had been out of their minds. It was clear that they were a bit high on something, otherwise they wouldn’t have minded the little commotion Lucian made.

Outside the hall, the door had at sometime being forcefully shut and in the next second, numerous sounds of vague curses and thrown bottles crashing adding with it the muffled sounds of fighting resounding from the door.

Sometimes, the door would even shake intensely from the impact, creating a silenced booming sound.

Occasionally, there were grunts and cries of pain that managed to escape the closed hall. There was even one time when something or something repeatedly banging at the large door, screaming something like ’Let me out!’

But it might just be because the door was slightly soundproofed, so the person’s voice wasn’t exactly clear to make out the exact words.

15 minutes later, the door to the large hall suddenly opened with a sound. A shadow then walked out through the bright Ray of light illuminating his shadow, that figure was Lucian. He casually stepped out from the hall with steady foot steps, not forgetting to throw aside the bent steel bar he had within his grasp.

"Oh! You finally showed up." Lucian’s gaze focused on the ebony beauty with an enticing pair of light green eyes.

Phyllida was currently seated a few meters away from the entrance of the hall. She seem deep in thought as she watched the holographic video of something.

Her brows a bit furrowed as her gaze left the screen of the holo image. "You’ve gotten a lot stronger than when we last fought." Phyllida’s face showed a slight confusion but soon, it was starting to get replaced with the intention to battle.

"I didn’t really fight to my satisfaction the last time we met. This time, I hope you can force me to reveal all of my skills.." she licked her pink lips seductively and she stared at Lucian with an hungry look.

Lucian immediately felt a headache creeping up. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

It wasn’t that he was afraid to fight, in fact he would be happy to fight her and learn more fighting skills from her. It was just that he didn’t come here for a fight.

He came to request her help. Massaging his forehead slightly, Lucian was helpless and was about to retort when he heard Hazel speak to him.

’Just tell her that you will only fight her if she was willing to bet her kill points for it.’

Lucian eyes lit up instantly. He was just wondering what to do to get out of this rough situation, but Hazel surprisingly gave him a solution.

"Alright then." Lucian smiled at Phyllida as he took on his most convenient battle stance.

"Let’s fight." He gestured with his hands.

"Great!" Phyllida didn’t waste time talking nonsense and immediately revolved her blood to her maximum limit. Suddenly, the opened helmet that wasn’t visible because of her long hair, closed up, forming a full complete helmet.

"Let’s fight." Her eyes changed in an instant as she turned serious.

"Wait!" she had only taken one step forwards when she heard Lucian speak.

Skidding to a stop, "What’s wrong?" she asked, feeling puzzled.

"Don’t you think it’s a little plain that we battle each other without staking anything?" Lucian asked and he rubbed his non existent beard as though in deep thought.

Phyllida’s paused in her action and her displeasure was apparent but all of a sudden, her expression instantly darkened and she immediately put the pieces together.

"And here I was wondering why you would risk coming here, alone, to my territory. It turns out you needed something. So that was reason you came looking for me. To borrow some kill points? Isn’t that right?" the closed helmet on Phyllida’s face let out a few muffled puffs of air before retracting backwards hidden behind her hair, revealing her pretty face.

Lucian couldn’t help but smile awkwardly. He hadn’t expected her to figure it out so quickly.

"Alright, you got me. Yes, it’s true I need a certain amount of kill points. I just need to borrow enough kill points to place first in this event." He revealed a bitter laugh as he told her his true intentions.

"Are you joking with me? Why do you think I would even help you with that?" Phyllida ridiculed wildly and continued.

"Don’t be naive. Even if I’m currently placed in the second position in this event, the rewards I will receive is way beyond your imagination. Now, even if a tiny bit of my mind decided to lend you enough Kill points to rank first, and that is a big if. Do you have any idea by many position I will fall?" she revealed a disdainful look as she glanced at Lucian from Jo’s head to his toe.

"What made you think even think I would take that risk? For what reason would I even do that? I don’t think you have anything I would want." Phyllida snorted coldly and then, she turned around to leave.

She wasn’t doing to waste her time on this fellow who thinks highly of himself.

"To be honest, the last time we fought, I only used 50% of my strength." Lucian said casually. He had decided to use his trump card.

"Oh, you too?" Phyllida was startled and she immediately turned back towards Lucian, her tone obviously held a tinge of excitement.

Upon seeing this, Lucian smiled slyly, his guess had been had been confirmed. She was simply a battle maniac.

But then, when he heard Phyllida’s words, his smile froze. He was a little taken aback.

"You mean you also concealed your true strength?" Lucian said in disbelief.

"Of course. You didn’t expect me to actually reveal my true strength to you even when you also hid yours right?" she was getting a bit excited.

But then she frowned. "Even still, the fight wouldn’t be enough to satisfy me." She shook her head and sighed pitifully.

Lucian frowned as he thought. ’What the hell is wrong with this lady.’

"If you won the fight, my kill point should be enough to boost your rankings to the first place."

"Uhn? That’s impossible." Phyllida was stunned and immediately refuted Lucian’s words.

No wonder she wasn’t moved by his words earlier. It turns out she didn’t that Lucian was currently in the fourth place.

"I’m telling you the truth. You can check the current rankings list, I placed fourth in it. " he urged her to check through her interface.

Obviously not believing his words, she opened up her interface and tapped furiously at the rays of light.

After a few seconds, she turned towards Lucian and then the way she looked at him was clearly different from the previous time.

With a suspicious look, she asked. "How did you even make it to the rankings?" she knew how difficult it was to make it to the Kill rankings.

She had made it with her strength and her luck and also with the assistance of the students she had recruited under her wings, submitting their kill points to her, that was how she had easily made it to the second place.

And even those from the first place to the 10th place, reached that position with the help of the students.

It was almost impossible to make it with just the strength of one person. She didn’t expect Lucian to even appear in the rankings at all.
