Everything will be my way!

Chapter 531

　　The imperial representative looked around for half a minute in search of the second participant.

　　Half a million viewers already wanted to fight with Dick themselves.

　　And only the former head of the Boston department, Vladimir Grand, almost roared with laughter. He will never forget how Kyon single-handedly pulled Cernos to the first position in the forest tournament, and what now? Is he going to repeat the impossible again?!

　　The three princes of Liberia turned crimson with anger, like ripe tomatoes. Now they realized that Baker had paid for his title. Is there anything that the Bakers can't buy with money? Judging by the fact that even the empress sold out - no.

　　The imperial representative waited a minute and addressed the audience: «I regret to announce that Jacqueline Zemfirov receives a walkover for non-appearance… And this means that Dick Baker confidently passes to the fourth round!»

　　«Confidently passes?!» – the first prince of Liberia yelled indignantly. – «He never even waved his fist! Do you understand that even a legless pig could have been in his place?! Would you also give it you know what title?! This is unacceptable for the tournament of the strongest! You have to fix the situation! Disqualify Dick immediately! Down with Dick!»

　　«Down with Dick!» … «Down with Dick!» – two princes of Liberia shouted with an appeal, supporting their elder brother.

　　Many spectators took up the initiative of the princes and loudly began to chant this slogan. The arena was literally flooded with the unanimous hum of tens of thousands of voices. People were filled with rage and envy because of such a blatant injustice happening before their eyes. Dick was like a mouse that managed to get into the imperial treasury! He didn't belong there.

　　Elsa covered the smile blooming on her lips with her palm. Only the reddish tips of her ears betrayed her mood. If she worries about her reputation like a squirrel about nuts stored for the winter, then Dick is like a cuckoo that left its eggs in someone else's nest. He absolutely doesn't care what people think of him! Being the complete opposite of Kyon, the girl watched him with particular interest. Moreover, Stone knew perfectly well that the messenger of the goddess did not deserve such an attitude towards himself. Well, he's probably the strongest participant in the tournament! Except for her, of course.

　　The screams of the audience did not lead to anything, as expected. After all, the tournament is organized by the empress, and not by the imperial representative, who does not decide anything here.

　　After waiting 5 minutes for the noise to subside, the man announced the start of the 4th round. Elsa and her opponent with the development of the royal phaser at the middle stage entered the arena. The fight, as expected, ended instantly…

　　The next match attracted much more attention: Juno will fight Roman! Young spouses will have to meet in battle! Given the difference in development in 8 stages, no one gave the girl a chance. But what if a miracle happens?

　　A dazzlingly beautiful couple stepped into the arena.

　　The blonde wore black thin tight pants and a sweatshirt that perfectly outlined her slender feminine figure. The hair was braided specifically for the fight. Overall, she looked stunning.

　　The brunet was dressed in loose white clothes, characteristic of a noble gentleman.

　　Juno measured her husband with chilling eyes.

　　Roman even involuntarily shivered – as if his soul got goosebumps – but he quickly pulled himself together and smiled tightly.

　　The signal to start the fight sounded. The protective barrier arose.

　　The blonde turned into an enraged fury in the blink of an eye and attacked the guy.

　　After the third movement, the lightning bolt flew into Roman's head, and in a brief moment of confusion, he caught a kick in the stomach, somersaulted several times, but stood up firmly. The slight pain spread through the body. Such attacks hardly caused him any damage, and yet it was extremely unpleasant. As expected, he is worse than his wife in close combat. He has known about this since the last tournament, but now the girl is even stronger.

　　{She reads all my movements… She, damn it, defeated the archmaster! How can I compete with her? Can I just swallow my pride and fight while keeping my distance?} – grimacing sourly, Roman threw up his hands. The guy was enveloped by a water sphere with a diameter of 5 meters, glowing with bioluminescent radiance. Transparent tentacles stretched from the sphere.

　　«The Water Squid! Ten tentacles! Wow!» – someone exclaimed in surprise.

　　The Clintons were famous for their powerful water techniques. The best of them: "The Water Squid". It can be mastered only with the superior grade of water, but only a few manage to release more than 6 tentacles. Roman controlled 10 at once, which spoke of his outstanding talent. Just one for each finger.

　　One of the tentacles soared into the sky with the speed of lightning and, like a hammer, fell down.

　　Juno somersaulted back at the very last moment.

　　~CRUNCH~

　　The noise was deafening. Small cracks a meter long appeared on the gray rock of the arena. It would seem that if the destruction is so insignificant, it means that Clinton's attacks are weak, but no one thought so. So far no one has been able to damage the floor of the arena! The fact is that the rock was created not by anyone, but by the imperial phaser at the beginning stage. The fact that cracks formed on it already says a lot. If it had been an ordinary rock, a 15-meter funnel would have appeared on it.

　　Juno was frightened for a moment - if it had hit her, it would have broken her bones at least – but the lady quickly came to her senses and pulled herself together. Jumping away from another blow, she simultaneously sent the wind blade into the appendage.

　　~zuk~

　　The blade just got stuck in the tentacle, as if it was made of resin, and dispersed. The small dent from the impact instantly disappeared.

　　Frowning darkly, Juno sent a blade of water this time. It was even able to dissect the tentacle! However, the damn transparent appendage fused back together as if nothing had happened.

　　A confident smile played on Roman's lips: «Don't underestimate me, dolly.»

　　{It looks like I can't win without the element of cold…} – the blonde didn't want to reveal the fact that she is a heavenly genius, but it seems she has no choice.

　　Roman's next attack involved two tentacles trying to envelop the girl.

　　Juno threw up her hands, and an icy wind blew from her in all directions with a roar.

　　The tentacles slowed down and froze, turning into ice, but after a moment they thawed and even almost grabbed the girl, but she jumped up in time.

　　{He knows the element of heat, of course!} – the blonde wanted to slap her forehead.

　　Hundreds of thousands of spectators opened their mouths in shock: «H-heavenly genius!» … «Lady Juno knows the five elements! She is a heavenly genius!» … «I can't believe it, the second heavenly genius appeared in Rosarrio after the bloody empress!» … «And she is the wife of Mr. Roman?!»

　　Elsa raised her eyebrows in surprise. On her lips was a smile of bursting pride. She was pleased to see how talented her sister really was. So she wouldn't have to worry about her future.

　　Gina and Lana, watching the tournament, grunted with interest. Each would gladly take the girl to her sect, but the girl has already been recruited by the government.

　　All the people in the stands belonging to the Clintons gasped simultaneously.

　　Artemis Clinton clutched his head. His younger brother married not only a first-class beauty, but also a heavenly genius who is favored by heaven! Moreover, today he will also become a junior disciple of the empress, after that the difference in their status will disappear completely. Envy troubled the guy's sight and caused a sore throat.

　　Roman was literally bursting with pride at the sight of the reaction of the audience, in particular his unloved older brother. However, he quickly fell into a bad mood due to obsessive suspicions that this beautiful girl was not sleeping with him.

　　«Even if you somehow learn how to destroy my tentacles, I will create new ones. Moreover, I could have boiled you alive a long time ago, but you are still my wife…»

　　A flame of hatred flashed in Juno's charming eyes, and she rushed to her husband, dodging one appendage after another at the very last moment.

　　Roman did not use more than two tentacles. Not yet. He waited until his wife approached 10 meters, and, putting his thumb up, doused the beauty with a mighty geyser, because of which she was thrown 30 meters away.

　　Juno continued trying to get close to the scoundrel, but every time she shortened the distance, he doused her with a geyser, and sometimes with several geysers at once.

　　«Give up. Don't make me act seriously.» – Roman demanded with emphasis. The best outcome of the fight will be if the wife surrenders. Everything else will either spoil or even ruin his reputation.

　　Of course, Juno didn't care about her husband's words. She longed to rip his balls off.

　　The guy completely controlled the fight. He did not allow the girl to approach, but attacked her with two tentacles, forcing her to roll helplessly. Three minutes later he got bored of it, and he added another tentacle, and after another minute there were already four of them.

　　Finally, the blonde lacked agility, and during the next attack she received a blow in the stomach, albeit only with the edge of a tentacle.

　　Juno rolled head over heels across the arena and coughed convulsively.

　　Compassionate "oohs" came from the stands.

　　«I finally hit her…» – Roman grinned contentedly.

　　The blonde pierced the guy with a hateful look and, jumping up, continued to attack.

　　«You have a lot of courage!» – Roman praised his wife.

　　Soon Juno missed another attack, and another, and another… After another blow, she got a dislocated shoulder, but she quickly and decisively pushed it back, surprising all the spectators.

　　A minute later, Roman began to seriously worry about the girl's condition, because she could get hurt: «Why don't you give up? Why, why are you getting up? Why do you keep fighting? I can use all ten tentacles without leaving you a chance!»

　　{Fuck you!} – the girl stubbornly stood up and, like a wounded but undefeated fury, continued to attack.

　　Over time, the situation worsened more and more. The blonde's lungs were burning from lack of air. Blood was dripping from her lips. It seemed that she had a broken rib, or even several. No one understood why she was still standing. Why is she getting to her feet? Why doesn't she just give up?

　　Juno has already won the hearts of the audience with her courage, stubbornness and will to win. No one would have the guts to fight a practitioner 8 stages higher. She deserves respect! Every time the lady missed a punch, sympathetic sighs were heard from the stands. People were rooting for the beauty and tried in every possible way to support her with shouts, but in fact they no longer hoped for her victory.

　　Roman did not like this state of affairs, but what could he do? If he accidentally hits her too hard, he will inadvertently kill her, and this should not happen. He would have to wait until she runs out of willpower. It can't be endless.

　　Looking at the opponent, Juno suddenly felt something vaguely familiar…
