Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#34 - Three consecutive wins
Because Odis was a newcomer, Gels arranged for him to fight the first match. His opponent was a tall guy, about six foot three, who was looking at Odis with an easy expression.
"Tim, you just lucked out."
Tim was the name of Odis's opponent.
"The first match isn't worth watching."
"… …"
Amidst the noisy clamor, the referee outside the ring announced the rules of the match: "If one side is knocked unconscious, admits defeat, or their body leaves the fighting area in any way, the other side wins."
"Ready, begin!"
The gamblers shouted at Tim to quickly deal with the newcomer in front of him.
Tim took the initiative to attack, throwing a fierce punch forward.
Odis dodged it with a light tap and took the opportunity to step forward, extending his palm and using all his strength to strike Tim's Adam's apple and chin, knocking him flying.
Thump~
Tim crashed heavily to the ground, unconscious.
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Simon, who was sitting high up watching the fight, took a hard puff of his cigarette and asked Gels, the manager who was already stunned, "You said he's from the Backlund Boxing Club?"
Gels reacted: "Yes, yes, he is."
"Find out more about him tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes."
In the arena, Odis looked at the referee: "Is there a count of seconds?"
Only then did the referee come back to his senses, symbolically counting a few seconds before announcing Odis's victory.
"I can fight another match in a row," Odis said with a smile.
Only then did the surrounding people react, and for a moment, a "buzzing" discussion arose as they speculated about the newcomer's background.
The referee didn't immediately respond but went to Simon to ask for instructions before returning and saying: "Alright, the second match, Toby! You will be this newcomer's opponent!"
The surrounding people almost simultaneously let out a sound of "Ooh~", and many faces revealed knowing smiles.
A man about the same height as Odis took off his hat, unbuttoned his trench coat and shirt, and began to warm up outside the ring.
Odis carefully observed his opponent. He didn't look tall, but his muscles were very tight, and his punches were fast. Judging from the expressions of the people around him, Toby must be an expert in this underground fighting arena.
While Toby was warming up, the betting for the second match began.
Odis leisurely sat on the wooden railing, and roughly heard that the majority of people were still betting on Toby to win.
After all, Odis had won too quickly just now. Not many of them were experts in fighting and didn't understand the subtlety of Odis's strike. They didn't realize that Odis's victory wasn't a fluke or good luck and were still betting according to their previous understanding.
Soon, the second match began.
Toby stared at Odis with all his attention. Of course, he knew that Odis would be a difficult opponent.
Odis was also more serious than in the previous match, adopting a standard fighting stance.
The surroundings began to shout chaotically again: "Toby, punch his nose into his stomach!"
"Toby, make him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"
"Toby, I've bet all my possessions on you!"
"Start quickly, you two bastards!"
"… …"
The two people in the arena had been staring at each other for more than ten seconds. Finally, Toby couldn't bear it any longer and tentatively threw a punch.
Odis also took action at the right time, blocking Toby's attack, then suddenly leaned forward, preparing to knock Toby down.
Fortunately, Toby's attack was only tentative, and he had enough space to jump away, though the process of jumping away was a bit embarrassing.
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, the surrounding audience shouted: "Go, Toby! Don't be like a sissy!"
"Toby, what are you doing? Punch, punch!"
"… …"
Toby felt that he had roughly figured out the opponent's style and began to attack with his legs.
In his opinion, the opponent's style was to quickly close in and then launch an attack. As long as he didn't let the opponent close in, he could continue to observe and look for opportunities.
After Odis dodged several rounds of the opponent's attacks, he seized the opportunity to suddenly step forward, quickly crouched down, and avoided Toby's kick again. Then, he suddenly stood up forward, actually using his right shoulder to bump into Toby, carrying him up and sending him flying.
Crash~
Toby crashed onto the table behind a circle of gamblers, cried out in pain, and then passed out.
The surroundings of the arena fell silent again.
However, this time the referee reacted: "The newcomer wins! The newcomer wins again!"
The surrounding gamblers once again began to "buzz" and discuss. They really couldn't understand how the newcomer, who looked relatively thin and whose muscles didn't seem very developed, had won two matches in a row.
Odis held out three fingers: "I want to fight ten... No, I want to fight a third match."
The referee went to Simon again to ask for instructions and quickly returned, saying: "The third match will be three against one. Are you sure you want to fight?"
Odis saw Simon in the distance with a fierce expression, revealing a sly smile. He said nonchalantly: "I'm sure."
One mistake, one first, one inside, one tolerance, one is in one look!
The surroundings fell silent again.
"This is a madman!"
An exclamation from a certain gambler made the surrounding discussions even louder.
Some thought the newcomer was too arrogant, while others thought the newcomer must have confidence.
While the three fighters were warming up, the betting for the third match began. This time it was basically half and half. Half of the people were betting on Odis to win, and half were betting on him to lose.
The third match begins!
Odis was surrounded in the middle, and the three opponents immediately launched an attack.
They didn't swarm him all at once but used a very strategic approach, with two attacking and one directing and covering any gaps.
Odis used his agile skills to repeatedly escape their encirclement with narrow escapes.
After having a basic observation of the three opponents, Odis planned to start a counterattack.
Just then, among the surrounding gamblers, he saw a familiar face.
It was a thin middle-aged man with a noticeable scar at the corner of his left eye.
Odis suddenly recalled that Enoch had reported to him on Monday that this was an informant for the "Punishers" and that someone was paying money to look for his whereabouts.
In the moment that Odis was slightly distracted, his opponent seized the opportunity and threw a full-force punch, hitting Odis's cheek.
Amid the enthusiastic shouts of the surrounding crowd, Odis's ears rang. However, the physique of a Beyonder was much stronger than ordinary people. He took a step back, shook his head, and the discomfort quickly disappeared.
But his opponent seized the opportunity, and the strongest one of them ambushed Odis from behind, firmly locking Odis's shoulders with his arms.
The opponent who had punched Odis earlier raised his foot and kicked fiercely towards Odis's chest and abdomen.
Odis struggled twice, and seeing that he couldn't break free, he used the big guy behind him as a fulcrum, suddenly jumped up, and locked the oncoming opponent with his legs.
And with a forceful twist, the opponent spun and flew out, crashing into the wooden railing and falling to the ground, unable to get up.
As soon as Odis's feet touched the ground, he exerted force again, actually jumping up with the big guy behind him on his back, then flipping over, slamming his back down hard on the ground.
This fall was very heavy, and the two arms locking Odis instantly released. The big guy was jolted and unable to get up for a moment.
Odis jumped up, about to attack the third opponent.
As a result, the opponent jumped out of the fence in a panic and chose to surrender.
The surroundings fell silent again.
Odis looked at the referee: "Do you want to continue fighting?"
The referee quickly said: "The, the, the newcomer wins."
Odis jumped out of the wooden railing to find Simon to collect his reward and winnings.
Yesterday, the editor talked to me about possibly putting it on the shelves soon. The results of this book are much better than the previous one, but the author estimates that it won't be recommended for Sanjiang or the like, so it's better to put it on the shelves earlier and then start updating more, which may attract more popularity. Well, the specific listing time will be told to everyone when it is determined ╰ ( ̄ ▽  ̄) ╭
