Chapter 36 Hangover 7 (2/2)

Jevil sadly sighed, ”I don't want to implicate innocent people, but... To achieve results you must make sacrifices...”

”Yes boss. I will garantee that the job will be perfectly completed.” The guard saluted and left the bar.

Jevil slightly shook his head and absent-mindedly looked at the young man getting ready to fight in the holovision, [John Connor... You are very unlucky to be caught in the middle of the storm... Let's see if you have determination and strength to survive in this chaotic universe.]

...

Underworld Facility, Iron Fist Arena 6...

John looked at big, brow pelage Apex in front of him.

The Apex was flexing his muscles, probably trying to intimidate the small, and frail looking John.

John strangely looked at the fighting stance of the Apex, [What the hell is up with that fighting stance? His guard is completely filled with holes that I can easily exploit... It is certainly an amateur.]

John carefully entered in fighting stance. He had trained all types of martial arts, from the old ones until the most recent. But the ones the Terrene Protectorate most trained them was in self-defense and other martial arts that the main objective is to restrict and control the opponent.

The other martial arts John trained just because it was one of the few things he did that was close of being enjoyment for him.

His face became calm and cold. In his eyes, the Apex in front of him wasn't a opponent anymore, but a enemy.

Just as his mentality changed, the world started slow down, [This... The power!]

He became overjoyed since he was able to activate it.

At the sound of the siren, signalizing the start of the match, the Apex charged at full force toward John. His speed was extremely fast at the eyes of the audience, but for John, he was moving in slow motion.

The Apex raised his arm and went for a punch. John easily dodged, with the minimum amount of movement, to the side.

John and the Apex were less than 30 centimeters away from each other.

At this close range, the Apex was basically unable to do anything because his arms were a lot longer and he was taller than John.

John clutched the Apex's arm that threw the punch and swiftly moved toward the Apex's back. He placed the Apex's arm at his own back and gave a low kick behind the Apex's knee, making him fall flat on the ground with John on top of him, holding Apex's arm at the his own back.

The Apex struggled, but John had everything under control and was able to keep him on the ground, unable to fight back.
