Chapter 979 - Claiming champion positions (1) (2/2)

Sarah is looking for fighters who are fighting for more than the money. This is something she learned from Stella: as long as they are in it just for the money, they can be bought by anyone who pays more; but if they are fighting for a cause, if she helps them get closer to their goal, she will earn their loyalty. That is priceless.

”Thank you for trusting me this much.”, Chad smiled at Sarah when he saw that she finished reading the information he provided.

Sarah looked at him with a complex expression for some time before responding almost robotically: ”I don't trust you. Aiden does.”

”Oh…”, Chad was not sure how to respond to this. He lowered his gaze and went through the names on the list. ”The top five and these two are available here now if you want to see them.”

”Yes. I will be grateful if you can arrange that. Now.”, Sarah responded while glancing toward Jesse who is in the cage.

He is in his third fight and doing great. One hit wins. Very powerful.

Chad made a phone call and stood next to Sarah, awaiting further orders.

”How is the man I asked you to look for?”, Sarah asked Chad. She told him to observe Noah's progress.

”He is persistently winning six to seven fights every night.”, Chad responded. ”And no matter how hurt he is, he comes back the next evening.”

Sarah's brows furrowed slightly. ”Seven wins, and he didn't request to challenge a champion?”

Chad confirmed. ”He said that only when he wins ten fights, he will be worthy of challenging you.”

Sarah thought about the evening when Noah begged to be punished, and she told him to scram because he is not worthy… At that time, she instructed him to win 10 fights and challenge her, and only then she will listen to him.

Sarah is creeped out by his masochistic behavior… but she can't deny that he has character. He does not want to take a shortcut and challenge her after five wins. He really wants her recognition by winning 10 fights. That is… commendable. And he is loyal… but if she takes him in, will she be able to control him? She needs cool and levelheaded people and thinking how he drops on his knees and begs for punishment makes her cringe internally. Maybe it's better to leave Noah for… later.

Just as she finished that thought, someone knocked on the glass enclosure from the outside and waved at Sarah cheerfully.

The man is all bruised up and his left eye is swollen, but there is no mistake… that is Noah.

Sarah moved her mask slightly so that she can pinch the roof of her nose. She felt a headache coming.

Chad shifted from side to side few times before asking: ”Should I send him away? Or…?”

Sarah rolled her eyes internally. Knowing Noah, he is not going anywhere, and if she tries to send him away, he will cause a scene. ”Let him in.”

”My Mistress!”, Noah exclaimed as soon as he got inside. Haru, Jamari and Ade blocked him from coming closer.

Noah glanced at each of the three with a frown before peering over Ade's head and smiling at Sarah. ”Mistress?”

”Speak from there.”, Sarah said curtly.

”I just wanted to say hi. Nothing more… and if you could hit me once, that would be an unexpected treat.”

Ade and Jamari could not hide their surprise. Just what is this man saying? Haru pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Sarah stood up and gestured to her three-man human wall to move. ”Noah. I am hiring capable fighters, and if you stop with that weird behavior, I might consider you. Do you understand?”

Noah widened his eyes and took a deep breath. ”I am honored that you are considering me, my Mistress… but I can't pretend that I don't enjoy the touch of your fist and the loving pain that comes after that. All this…”, he gestured toward his body, probably pointing out his injuries. ”I endure through this pain because I know that at the end of it I will get to feel the pleasure of your punches.”

Sarah took a deep breath and closed her eyes while wondering, what would Aiden do? Noah is exactly what they are looking for. Loyal, motivated, and if he can win seven fights in a row, he is not a bad fighter either. But, what will Aiden say when he wakes up and sees that Noah is on their payroll?
