Chapter 197: Face-to-Face Confrontation

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that I was accidentally injured in the arena just now.” When Kate said this, his tone was deliberately more relaxed.

Audrey slowly frowned.

How could he have been accidentally injured in the arena? From the severity of the situation, it was obvious that the other party had injured him.

Although Kate had not interacted much with her in the Combat Aura Faculty during this period of time, Audrey knew Kate’s personality very well. He was not the kind of person who would easily make enemies.

Why would such a situation suddenly occur this time?

Audrey hurriedly took out a bottle of recovery medicine from her bag and handed it to him. “You should drink this first. From the looks of it, your condition is too serious. You definitely won’t be able to participate in the next match.”

Kate was a little embarrassed. He did not know if he should stretch out his hand to take it. “Audrey, I didn’t come here to ask you for a high-grade potion. I just wanted to see you.”

Audrey very adamantly placed the potion she had made in his hands.

“When did you become so polite? You should know that with our relationship, what’s mine is yours. As long as you need it, I can give you everything I have,” Audrey said.

Kate was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that everything Audrey said did not seem to be the same as what he had thought.

He forced a smile and finally accepted it. “In that case, I’ll accept it respectfully.”

Audrey watched him drink the potion, and the external wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, his spirit and energy seemed to be much better. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

“I suggest that the next time you encounter such an enemy, it’s better for you to just surrender. After all…” Audrey hesitated for a moment. “It’s too dangerous.”

From the looks of it, it was obvious that someone was going to die. Audrey did not dare to imagine what kind of bloody scene it would be if someone really had an accident in the arena.

“Yes, I understand.” Kate smiled. “By the way, Audrey, the main reason I came to look for you this time is to remind you that I’ve already seen the person you’ve been assigned to.”

“Who is it?” Audrey asked.

Actually, this list had been announced some time ago. It was just that she had been too busy, so she had not had the time to look at it. She had not expected that she would have to rely on Kate to convey it to her in the end.

Kate averted his gaze. “It’s a very difficult person to deal with. It’s Hobart Bailey from the Combat Aura Faculty.”

Audrey hesitated for a moment as a human face flashed through her mind.

If she remembered correctly, was he not a member of the team she had joined? She had not expected that it would be so coincidental that the two of them would be together.

“Why do you say that he’s difficult to deal with?” Audrey asked.

It was because when they first met, Audrey did not feel that there was anything different about those people, so she naturally did not have any suspicions.

“Actually, it’s because of this. Hobart is a very stubborn existence. In addition, he’s very strong and is one of the best in our Combat Aura Faculty. I… I’m subconsciously a little worried about you.” Kate looked at Audrey.

Audrey only averted her gaze, deep in thought. Her pair of beautiful azure eyes shone brightly under the sunlight.

“Is that so? But it’s not a big problem. You should know my strength.” Audrey narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Thank you for coming to tell me such news, Kate.”

Kate lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

When she finally stood in the arena, Audrey flexed her wrist a little and looked at Hobart opposite her.

“Audrey, long time no see,” Hobart greeted her. Even his voice was as steady as his own. “I was thinking of looking for that fellow Klein. I didn’t expect that the two of us would meet here.”

Audrey smiled. “This is really fate.”

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. You should know me very well. I won’t show any mercy.” Hobart’s gaze swept past Audrey. “Even if you’re a woman.”

Audrey raised her brows. “If that’s the case, I don’t wish for you to show any mercy to me. After all, we speak with our true strength here.”

The people below could not hear the conversation between the two of them on the stage.

Klein stood below worriedly, fanning the fan in his hand. He was very afraid that things would develop to an uncontrollable degree.

After all, he knew Hobart’s character. He had always been one-track-minded since he was young. In addition, he did not have much contact with girls, so he had naturally turned into this wooden appearance.

Although he did not know Audrey’s strength, it was clear that Hobart would directly kill her in such a place.

Klein sighed slowly. Right now, he only hoped that Audrey would be fine and not get hurt. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have instructed Audrey to directly surrender if she was unable to defeat him.

This move was called timely damage control.

“No way. Hobart is actually going up against a girl from a branch?” Sounds of discussion came from the side. “Let’s guess. How long will this battle take to end? I’ll bet five numbers.”

“Five numbers is a little too much. Based on Hobart’s strength, wouldn’t he only need one move to finish it off?”

“Hahaha, that seems to be the case.”
