Lazily Yours.

"I heard you will have a fight today? Why not take this opportunity to get injured and show me if you heal?"

As expected, he was here because of the nanoparticles. But why did she feel a little disappointed when she heard his words? Did she actually miss this shameless guy?

Impossible.

"Who wants pain? I don't want to die."

"Kidding. I was just kidding." Aden said. "You should leave now. I will be waiting here. I was too busy, I need sleep."

"So you especially came into my room like a thief to sleep?"

"Obviously." He closed his eyes and added, "After all, the foam used in this bed… is top class." Then he waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave. "Alright, you are already twenty-four minutes late. It would take you about two minutes to go there. Hurry, the rules state that you cannot be late for thirty minutes."

"Alright."

"And oh…"

"What is it?"

"Someone tried to use some drugs on you. Teach them a lesson."

Gabi looked at the man before sighing. It seems that her palms would suffer tonight. "Alright then." She had known that something was weird with the food. However, she didn't have a way to confirm this. She wasn't an expert in poison or medicine. All she knew was that her stomach — or the nanoparticles might have gotten rid of it.

Wait… does this mean she would be immune to all types of poison in the future?

The thought made her smile. She immediately ran back towards the arena.

.....

"Twenty-seven minutes. I think it's time that we declare who is the winner."

"Hmph! That coward is really something. Now that she was clearly at a disadvantage, she didn't show her face here." Mara said. "Ugh. I love to ruin that face of hers." Who told that woman to have such a delicate face? Now that Mara thought about it, that woman's face was not the face of a killer. Was her previous assumption about her, right? Did she really use that face to have access to this place?

"Hey! Announce the winner!" Delia's voice echoed. However, before the instructor could say anything, Gabi suddenly appeared at the door.

"Too excited to announce the winner? What? Are you scared that I would beat your friend?"

"You — How dare you arrive so late? Are you looking down on me?"

"What? I just fell asleep." Gabi walked towards the ring. Since that man arrived in her room, she wasn't able to change into a sports bra and was still wearing her comfortable leggings and shirt that she wore when sleeping.

"How come she's here?" Delia murmured towards the equally surprised Fred. "I thought you said she would get sick? That drug… was it that weak?"

"No. It's impossible for her to fight. The only way that she's here is if… she was pretending."

"For what? To ridicule herself?" If this woman was really sick, then why come here? Clearly, coming here with that weak body would only mean that she would automatically lose this fight. "Doesn't make sense," she added while watching Gabi on the ring. "Maybe she didn't eat it?"

"Our sources spotted her pick the one with the drug. She finished it in seconds. That greedy b*tch."

"But— "

"I don't know! Alright?" Fred clenched his teeth. "Or… there's a possibility that the drug…" But they clearly said it would take effect after two hours — which was thirty minutes ago! Did they actually make some stupid mistake? He turned towards the other people who knew about the drug and, just like him, they also showed some puzzled look.

It seems that they were confused as well.

Judging from their reaction, there is a high possibility that they also made a mistake.

Fred was too engrossed in his own mind that he failed to hear the signal that states that the fight is starting. The next thing he knew, a loud slapping sound already echoed inside the fighting arena.

His gaze snapped back to the ring and almost immediately, his eyes widened.

"You — You actually slapped my face!?" Mara screamed. "You dare to— "

Before Mara could say anything, Gabi's hands wrapped around the woman's throat. Then…

*PAK*

Another resounding slap echoed. This time, Gabi slapped the other side of the woman's face.

"You— "

*PAK*

"AHHHHHH…"

*PAK*

*PAK*

*PAK*

"You — " Mara's eyes turned blood red. Her face started to feel numb. She tried to use her leg to kick Gabi, who was standing in front of her. But just as she was about to kick Gabi, the other suddenly let go, throwing her towards the wires that surrounded the ring. "You — cough — cough — " What just happened? How dare this woman slap her? "You dare sneak attack on me? You cheater!" Of course, the slap wasn't enough to defeat her. She immediately sent a kick to Gabi, followed by her fist. Then another… and another… and another…

"Miss M… it seems that the slap made you a bit dizzy… how come you are kicking in the air?" Gabi's voice came from Mara's left.

"You — "Miss M? Who was she calling Miss M? With that, Mara swung her arm to the left. She then followed it with a roundhouse kick. However, none of them hit Gabi. Who would have thought that Gabi's movement would be so agile tonight?

What about the drug?

What happened?

"Miss M… it seems that your boobs are as useless as your brain."

"You — how dare you! Ahhhhhh…." This time, Mara let out another combo of kicks and punches. She even used her other skills to pin down Gabi on the floor. But none of them hit Gabi… she couldn't even hit a single strand of this woman's hair.

What's happening? Mara could only scream as she attacked Gabi again and again. She thought and hoped that the drug would at least show it's effects. But it was futile. It seems that the drug didn't work after all.

"Heh… it seems that the slap indeed worked." She heard Gabi utter. "I guess it's more effective than the drug that you guys gave me.."
