Chapter 871: Come, My Dear Daughter, Let’s Fight

The group moved to an open field, their gazes fixed nervously on the scene unfolding before them, yet no one dared to speak.

Tina and Natalie faced each other, separated by a safe distance. The moonlight spilled softly across their faces, casting faint shadows.

Tina struck first. Her palm lashed out with a fierce force toward Natalie, sending the fallen leaves on the grass flying back in waves. The gust swept past Natalie, lifting her hair into the air.

Natalie remained calm, her expression steady. She leaned back lightly and, with an effortless flip, dissolved Tina's attack. Landing gracefully, she wasted no time. In an instant, she leapt into the air again, soaring several feet high. Her right arm shot forward in a sharp punch, aimed directly at Tina's abdomen.

Tina pivoted quickly, her toes pressing against the trunk of a towering tree to her right. With her left hand, she intercepted Natalie's punch. A sharp cracking sound filled the air.

Natalie smirked. "You think you can stop my punch with one hand? Sweetheart, you're still too young."

Tina landed, her right arm hanging lifelessly at her side. Refusing to admit defeat, she swept her leg horizontally across the ground. The sheer force of the move sent rocks and debris flying toward Natalie.

Natalie leapt again, swift as lightning, evading the attack with ease. She countered immediately, her fists moving in a blur. Her strikes became more intricate and unpredictable, weaving a complex web of attacks that dazzled and overwhelmed. Tina fought back, but with only one functional arm, she gradually began to falter, losing ground step by step. Natalie's dominance was absolute-a thorough and complete victory.

The crowd, watching silently, quickly understood the outcome. They had initially worried about Natalie's condition, fearing she might be too weak after just waking up, but they had clearly underestimated her. Her strength was unfathomable. "That was a spectacular match!" Leo's voice rang out as he approached, clapping enthusiastically. "Ian, it's no wonder both of them are from your Brookes family. Mother and daughter, each stronger than the other, neither holding back. This is what a real contest looks like!"

Ian laughed heartily. "Having these two treasures born into my family is the greatest blessing for the Brookes! Natalie is beyond my expectations, but Tina isn't bad either. Against anyone else, they'd have been taken down by her first move." Jared strode over to Tina, his expression serious as he carefully examined her limp arm. "I'll find a doctor for you right now," he said gravely.
