Chapter 103 - One Punch Woman (1/2)

Halia grabbed a pair of boxing gloves that were lying around and casually put them on. She then tied her long black hair into a bun and climbed into the boxing ring. Even if the Captain's skills hadn't been transferred to her, she had done some boxing when she was in the police academy, so the ring was not an unfamiliar place for her.

Marissa smirked and climbed into the other side of the ring as she glared arrogantly at Halia from the corner of her eyes.

A crowd quickly gathered around to watch the fight. Some whispered and laughed at Halia, while others watched quietly.

”She's not even dressed properly, is she for real? Who is she?” one of the women sneered.

”I saw her come in with Emerson. She must be some high-class socialite princess that thinks this is a game,” another woman laughed.

Halia ignored the comments and stretched her arms and legs calmly. This was far from a game.

At that moment, Emerson climbed up beside her. ”Are you sure about this?” he asked worriedly.

”I'll be fine,” Halia replied confidently.

Emerson glanced at Natalie and Sean, hoping they'd help him convince Halia out of the ring, but he realized they weren't concerned at all. At that moment, Halia began to push him out of the ring. ”Trust me, I got this,” she reassured.

As it wasn't a proper match, there was no referee nor rules, so when Marissa saw Emerson showing concern for Halia, she stepped forward impatiently and asked, ”Are you ready?”

Halia smiled and stepped forward, ”Ready when you are.”

As soon as Halia's words left her mouth, Marissa immediately threw a punch forward without warning.

Halia scoffed at the sneaky move thrown by the woman but dodged it easily. She then waved for her to try again.

Marissa glared at Halia with frustration. ”I see you're quick on your feet,” she said with ridicule before she rushed forward and threw a succession of punches instead. ”Let's see you dodge this,” she whispered under her breath. But, Halia easily blocked her punches without breaking a sweat.

The other club members watched with interest. This was not what they expected.

”Is that all you've got?” Halia chuckled. ”Come on, you're not taking this seriously,” she provoked.

Marissa's face turned red in anger. She was the Women's Champion in this club. No other woman in the club had ever beaten her; it was something she was extremely proud of. So, she growled and swung her arm with all her might, aiming for Halia's head.

But, Halia saw it coming and ducked effortlessly, causing Marissa to punch thin air and lose her balance. As she fell on the floor, everyone gasped.

”Stop dodging, you coward!” Marissa screamed as she stood back up. ”Fight me properly!”
