Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 376 Intrigue

James fixed Violeta with his deep and penetrating gaze.

They conversed in Elic.

"With such beauty, aren't you afraid of disfiguring your pretty face?"

Violeta said confidently, "That's none of your concern. Your Highness, I won't lose."

"Hahaha, such confidence! I like it. Alright, now it's your turn. Show me what you've got." James agreed.

The same bodyguard from before faced off against Violeta.

Each took their own position. Violeta's hand beneath her sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

This wasn't a game of cat and mouse. She had no interest in trading blows back and forth with the bodyguard.

Glorian Boxing was fierce.

Violeta already had a plan for how to win.

The fight began in an instant.

The bodyguard rushed forward, launching punches and kicks with aggressive precision.

Violeta stepped back, evading his punch. Then, she used her hand to deflect his kick, spinning her body, and delivered a heavy punch to his temple.

The bodyguard was utterly unprepared for a woman to know combat skills, let alone aim for a vital point. His head was unprotected.

The blow to his temple left him dazed for a few seconds.

Underestimating the opponent was a grave mistake.

If Violeta had used a knife, the bodyguard would have fallen to the ground, dead.
