Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 958: Yet that was exactly what Marisa had planned. Her right foot touched down lightly as she twisted her waist, momentum snapping through her body like a whip. Her right hook came screaming toward him, sharp and deadly. The first jab had been bait - this was the real strike. And trailing behind it was a vicious uppercut. It was the same combo that had taken Reaper out cold. But Viper moved like his namesake - fluid and sudden. He slipped inside her reach with uncanny timing. Marisa's breath caught. Too close - too fast.

Before she could react, his arms wrapped around her right arm like a coiled rope. His foot swept toward her supporting leg. The maneuver was lightning-fast and razor-sharp, leaving Marisa barely a second to respond. "You're done," he muttered, cold and certain. With a single forceful pull, he could break her balance, slam her down, and lock in a chokehold to finish the fight. The audience went wild. "She's trapped! It's over!" "He's got her now. It's over for this girl!" The roar of the crowd fueled Viper's confidence, but he stayed focused - merciless and efficient.

Viper gawked at the girl now standing beyond his reach, his expression torn between confusion and disbelief. Though he had anticipated that anyone who could defeat Reaper must possess strong fighting skills, the acrobatic maneuver she had just performed still left him utterly shocked. Nobody in the room dared to speak. The sheer elegance of what they'd witnessed had left them breathless.

Tyrant gritted his teeth, barely containing his urge to step into the arena. Then, as though released from a spell, the crowd exploded with shouts of astonishment. "Is this even real?" The crowd buzzed with uncontrollable energy. No one had expected a battle so thrilling. A few were already on their feet, clapping like their lives depended on it. Gasps echoed across the arena as others froze, eyes wide. "Did you see that? She's moving like a dancer!" someone shouted, unable to hold in their awe.

Viper hadn't anticipated Marisa foreseeing his attack and dodging it easily, and his eyes turned icy. . . .
