THE BLACK SWAN BEHIND (BEAUTY OF FIRE) - Chapter 214

214 Underground Cave is Under Attack

Actually, the technique that Emma did was not clever enough because it made Emma’s body pressed down by Calvin’s body which indeed was much bigger than hers. But Emma had no other choice. Calvin was a formidable opponent because he mastered various techniques and was able to overcome Emma’s ranged attacks. Therefore, she tried to use a little Jiu Jitsu technique.

In the blink of an eye, Emma had performed the Rear Triangle Choke position. It was where Emma was under Calvin’s back with one leg wrapped around his chest from behind and the other leg placed from behind the shoulder to the front. It was a position to strangle the opponent’s neck.

Both Calvin and Emma’s faces were turning red. It was because Calvin had already strangled with one hand locked up between Emma’s legs. And Emma was trying her best to use her legs to hold Calvin who was trying to escape.

“F-fuck! Jiu.. Jiu.. Jitsu?” Calvin muttered under his breath. He couldn’t even try to hit upwards because if he let go of his defences, Black would easily choke him to death.

Even though she was having a hard time, Emma still managed to chuckle, “Move, Calvin.” she muttered to herself.

But Calvin was not a Jiu Jitsu player. He tried to escape by moving the parts of his body that were not attacked by Black. Yes, those were his legs. He moved his legs until they both slowly began to slide sideways on the floor. But sadly, that was precisely what Black wanted him to do.

With Calvin moving, it gave Emma room to make the transition. She immediately shifted her hips to the middle so that her legs, which were trying to immobilize Calvin’s movement, managed to make a lock.

“Grr!” Calvin tried to pull Black’s leg that was pressing against his neck.

“Come on..” Emma growled as she tightened her choke. Her legs weren’t long enough to perfectly perform the technique on Calvin because his broad shoulders made Emma’s legs have a hard time choking him too deeply and it also happened with her arms that tried to strangle him so he would faint.

…..

‘I don’t want to break your shoulder, Calvin. Please give up now,’ Emma cried in her heart.

On one hand, Emma began to feel sore in her nose. And her hands started to feel numb too. It was all thanks to Calvin’s knee that hit her so hard earlier. Even though Emma managed to hold back with both hands, the impact still managed to hit the front side of her face. Luckily, Emma was sure that she didn’t break her nose.

On the other hand, Rachel and Kenny were rushing to look for Troy. They didn’t know where he was. The battle between the two members of the group took place on several floors. All members of the Jita Kyoei group tried to attack Kenny and Black who turned out to be allied with RJC.

In the end, the two sides met. Troy, who was running, immediately stopped when he saw Kenny Brown who was Marcel Douglas’s right-hand man. And beside Kenny was a skinny man with a whole body covered in black clothes and a mask.

Troy immediately knew it was the other Black. He was the Black who reportedly had a deadly punch even though his arms were not much different from a broomstick.

Troy frowned as he stared intently at Black, “You? Allied with RJC for real?”

Ugh.. Rachel hated drama like this. “I don’t have time to explain it to you.”

Troy’s hands were clenched into fists and his jaw clenched, “You just have to answer, you idiot!” he immediately lunged at the masked man, followed by all the men behind him.

Seeing Troy coming like a raging bull, Rachel immediately got into her stance and jumped the other way. Luckily, Kenny was there to handle all of Troy’s men. If Rachel faced them all alone, she didn’t know at what minute she would fall.

‘He aimed straight at me,’ Rachel muttered under her breath. It seemed that Troy was furious that his trust in Black had been betrayed. He must be the kind of person who really didn’t like being stabbed in the back.

“I thought you were a good guy! But it turns out you’re no different than them!” Troy exclaimed as he paced quickly towards Black, trying to reach the skinny body.

Luckily, Troy’s moves were still out of pace with Rachel’s. She immediately dodged to the side and hit his ear with her elbow before walking away. It happened that Rachel had gotten some practice from Emma. Now, she knew some mixed martial arts techniques.

But Troy could endure the pain of the blow. He did have the nickname ‘The Armor Man’ because his body could strongly take blows. Maybe it was because Troy had been used to being hit by blows since he was little.

Then Troy chased after Rachel again. “Don’t run, coward!” He growled when he found that Black kept avoiding him. If in height, they were not much different. But when it came to body weight and muscle mass, they were not at all comparable.

Troy threw his blow into Rachel’s face. And the girl quickly dodged by bending down and using the opportunity to give a Cross (straight forward punch) right on Troy’s liver.

Really, if Troy found out that Rachel was a girl, he might be ashamed of himself. But Black’s punch was greatly strong and hit the exact spot, “Uakh!”

But Rachel couldn’t be happy that she had managed to hurt Troy Roner because his attack was basically just a trap.

Even though Troy felt pain from the blow that Black had given him, he had the advantage of his physical defence. After receiving the blow, Troy became able to grab Black’s body which was as he expected: feather light.

As soon as she came to her senses, Rachel saw a large hand gripping the side of her collar. Then, Troy’s other hand was already gripping Rachel’s shirt’s back upper arm. After that, she felt a hook on one of her legs which immediately pulled her stance off.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Rachel’s back had hit the hard floor with Troy’s hand still gripping her. It was the Kouchi Gake technique of Judo.

Once Black had fallen, Troy immediately placed his body on top of the masked man. He easily did Open Guard Passes. He horizontally pressed his entire upper body onto Black’s body that was lying on the floor. Then he pressed down all his weight on the skinny man.

“Hhh..” Rachel tried to free herself from under Troy’s heavy body.

Her brain and body were trying to synchronize themselves. She felt the panic would soon attack her, so she tried desperately to catch her breath to keep her mind calm.

Rachel didn’t like this position the most, when there was a man on her. It made her trauma come back. But she kept reminding herself that now she was not seen as a woman, but as a man.

Troy laughed at Black who couldn’t break free as he was pressing his skinny hands so they couldn’t move. “So you are actually weak than I thought,” He said breathlessly. Then he took Black’s upper arm and coiled it around like he was hugging it.

‘This is terrible!’ Rachel thought. She knew what Troy would do next. He would tighten his grip on her arm and her upper arm would break.

Rachel felt her other hand eventually free because Troy was now focused on the other hand he was gripping. Rachel quickly used one of her free hands to smack Troy in the ribs as hard as she could.

Unfortunately, Troy was still able to withstand the blow and Rachel began to feel Troy tighten his arms. It looked like Troy was deliberately going to give a defect to the boxer’s arm.

Kenny, who had just beat up the last of Troy’s men, immediately realized that Black was in danger. Troy Roner, the leader of Jita Kyoei indeed could not be underestimated.

Kenny immediately ran towards the wrestling two men. Then he kicked Troy’s back’s side so hard. Incidentally, Kenny Brown and Troy Roner had almost the same height and muscle mass. They were balanced fighters.

Troy was unaware of Kenny’s arrival. And the kick that the big man gave instantly sent Troy threw to the side.

Rachel even had time to groan in pain when her arm was almost carried away by Troy who had been gripping her tightly. Rachel immediately got up from her lying position while holding her upper arm which was still sore so badly. Hopefully, it was okay.

“You are okay?” Kenny asked Black who looked in pain.

Rachel nodded, “Don’t mind me.”

Troy saw all his men had been knocked down by Kenny. Then, it was two against one now? Well, Troy had no problem at all.

“I won’t forgive those who have hurt my friends. Get ready to treat your broken hand, you bastard!” Troy exclaimed with bloodshot eyes and a hardened jaw.

When the battle was about to take place again, Kenny’s cell phone suddenly rang. This made the three of them stop their movements.

Kenny raised his hands up as a symbol to stop the fight for a moment.

Rachel gave a surprised face that Troy had even complied to wait for Kenny to answer the phone. Perhaps this was the rule of fighting in the dark world? How amusing.

***

Vico who was heading to Marcel’s room was continuously blocked by Jita Kyoei men who happened to be fighting on every floor. Their base was indeed in a state of shambles. He didn’t expect Jita Kyoei to break through.

Just as they were near Marcel’s room, Vico got a call from Renu.

“Underground Cave is under attack. Tell it to Marcel. I couldn’t reach him,” Renu said before hanging up the phone while taking his bamboo staff. In front of the area he was guarding was a group of motorized men. And the two front bikes were ridden by Nicko Coffey and Martin Brafo.
