Chapter 47: Hole in the Wall

"What did you have in mind?" Lisa asked cautiously.

"I watched your fight earlier. You have rather decent skills and with some time I think you will become an excellent Match Fighter." Xander said before rising from his seat. "I want to offer you a job. Work for me as a Match Fighter and I’ll pay you well. I can pair you with opponents that will be easy wins, guaranteed."

Lisa flashed a smile, "A lucrative offer. Yet, I must decline. It's nothing personal, but I have a policy where I work for no one. Tried it before, and it didn't work out too well in the end."

"That's a shame." Xander said with a look of disappointment. "In that case, I would watch your step around here. Without any friends on your side, it could spell trouble."

Lisa cocked her head to one side and inquisitively asked, "Was that an attempt to threaten me?"
