Chapter 1230 Close Combat
When Jewel discovered that Phantom was at the casino through North's investigation, she
asked him to help find the address of Phantom's residence. Olivia was right. I can't go to
Double Dragon Court to hold them accountable. But now, Phantom, the enemy who
almost killed me, is right in front of my eyes. How could I possibly remain indifferent? I
must seek my revenge.
There was a security guard stationed at the entrance of Phantom's neighborhood, but it
was past 1.00AM, a time when everyone felt sleepy.
She didn't want to alert the security guard, so she decided to climb over the wall.
Moreover, since the surveillance cameras had already been disabled by the little guy, she
didn't feel the need to hide or avoid anything and boldly went to Phantom's house.
She then took out two thin wires from her pocket and began working on the door lock.
Simple lockpicking like this was something they had been trained in. It didn't pose a
challenge for her. However, there might be some noise while picking the lock. If Phantom
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwasn't in a deep sleep, she would definitely be alerted.
Yet, Phantom was too arrogant. She prided herself on her martial arts skills and didn't
think she needed the police. However, she wouldn't dare to call the police even if she
wanted to. After all, the police were still investigating her.
Click! The lock clicked open, but instead of immediately entering the house, Jewel kicked
the door open and hid behind the wall.
As expected, the moment the door opened, a small dart was thrown directly toward the
door. It was incredibly fast, and if it weren't for her early precautions, she would likely
have been a corpse by now.
Seeing that the dart didn't hit its target, Phantom was about to close the door, but Jewel
kicked it open again, causing Phantom to stumble back a few steps.
Jewel immediately followed, swiftly entering the house and hooking her foot to close the
door behind her.
It was obvious that Phantom didn't expect it to be Jewel, as a look of surprise crawled
across her face. "It's you?" She then chuckled and said, "You're quite lucky."
"It's only because of my determination to kill you that I'm still alive," Jewel sneered.
"Hah!" Phantom openly mocked. "So, are you here to meet your death today?"
At her provocation, Jewel replied seriously, "No. I'm here to send you to hell!" With that,
she swiftly drew a dagger from her boot and thrust it toward Phantom.
With a frown, Phantom skillfully evaded the attack.
Yet, Jewel immediately followed, not allowing any distance between them. Phantom's darts
only worked at a distance, but close combat was Jewel's strong suit. She relentlessly
pressed on with one move after another, denying Phantom any chance to catch her
breath.
Although she hadn't trained as rigorously in recent years as she did at Double Dragon
Court, her reflexes were still intact. Moreover, today she came with the determination to
obtain the antidote, even if it meant not killing Phantom. That was why her fighting style
was reckless, with a willingness to risk her own life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhantom was never good at close combat. Back at Double Dragon Court, she envied
Jewel's fearlessness. In close combat training, Jewel was always the first, while she was
always the last. She never expected that even after so many years, Jewel's skills would
remain the same. No, rather than her martial arts skills, it's more accurate to say that her
fearless spirit is still the same as before.
On the contrary, she had always been complacent about her poison darts and never
seriously trained. Now, she found herself unable to use the darts effectively and was left
with only defensive moves, without any opportunity to strike back.
In the end, she didn't care about losing face anymore. She began incessantly dodging,
weaving through the couch, coffee table, and dining table.
With a leap, she flipped to the other side of the table and simultaneously pulled out a dart
from her pocket, throwing it directly at Jewel.
Jewel sidestepped the dart and vaulted over the table. At the same time, she delivered a
series of sweeping kicks that sent Phantom crashing into a chair.
Then, she gracefully landed next to Phantom and bent down, then lifted Phantom into the
air.
At this moment, Phantom urgently shouted, "Wait!"
