Chapter twenty-two: Challenge

...

Rick, how long is it going to take before the rescue team going to arrive? Emily asked. Although she had fought a lot of monsters before, she wasn't very good when she was flanked from all direction.

How am I supposed to know, do I look like an army staff? Rick asked angrily. After getting attacked by the monsters, he was almost killed so, it was a miracle he was still alive.

Wait, did anyone observe the sudden change in the mission? Jackson asked.

That's right, the school first announced our mission was at Bermuda Triangle but then, they gave us files containing a mission in Saudi Arabia however, they still brought us here, Le Xian muttered.

Hmm, I thought the school was irrational at first but, I don't think so. This is obviously a deliberate action, Ben added.

Wow! Rick exclaimed. I never thought you could think normally before, Rick said in a mocking manner to Ben.

Hmph, I don't need to waste my time on useless people like you, Rick harrumphed.

Enough with the fighting, more monsters are already approaching us, Rebecca shouted.

How about this, we both have a duel now. If I win you would be my slave pet for a whole year? Ben asked ignoring Rebecca warning.

I agree but, want will I get if I win and you also have to be as injured as I am before I can accept, Rick shot back.

The person he had once trampled upon had the guts to come back and fight him. He wished he had just killed him during their first duel.

Ben I don't think that would be a good idea, even I and my teammates are scared if fighting Rick on our own, Le Xian advised Ben.

Just say you are too weak to fight him, why must you include the others? Jackson asked Le Xian.

How can you guys still be arguing about who is stronger than who, I told you earlier on that we should be taking out the monsters before the situation went out of control but now, we have to fight over twenty level thirty monsters if we want to stay alive, Rebecca said.

What do you mean by over twenty level thirty monsters? May asked looking a little bit terrified.

Even Rick face turned pale after hearing her.

You don't have to worry, I can easily handle them on my own, Ben suddenly shouted like he was the superhero in a movie.

Even ironman wouldn't dare to fight twenty bad guys who were crazily stronger than he was.

[Nb: Author is referring to ironman from the avengers]

Anyway if you can handle them, that would be good for the team besides, our impression about you would improve. So, you won't have to be the trash in the team, Tom replied while looking at Ben disdainfully.

Sure, Ben replied with a wryly. If it had been on any other occasion, Ben would have started a fight with Tom but, he would rather conserve his energy to fight against the monsters.

Dave, Michel, you are both coming with me, Ben said as he called two of his servants.

Hmm, the both of them grumbled. It was supposed to be a challenge between Rick and Ben but somehow, they got involved.
