The Next Defender 167 Screw Loose

Jen was not lacking Jade Pins to pay the bill of this expensive meal but she was worried for the lacking time of the next breakthrough, time was running short and she was too lazy.

They finished the meal and came out of the eatery.

There was still enough time to find the lodge and for shopping!!

They found a lodge on reasonable price and the both girls venture in the big commercial market.

Jen stopped at a small bidding.

There was something of her interest.

It was left in a corner because no one bid for this bulky price useless item!!

"The Stone of Nature," was rarely found.

The thing astounded Jen was that who brought this stone in a small sale??

She pointed toward the Stone of Nature and asked the shopkeeper, he eyed her first and then state the price in a dry tone, "Miss the price is not negotiable!!" he waved her.

When the state the price, all the ordinary bidders looked at her astounded, such bulky sum!!

Jen gave five thousands Jade Pins as the price of the Stone of Nature and moved to another shop.

Other customers looked toward her direction with bulging eyes.

The shopkeeper hurriedly went inside the shop and stood in front the respected figure of this Manias.

"Sir_! A royal young girl bought the Stone of Nature_do I need to send someone to look for her_??"

"There is no need_this matter is no more concerned with you_!!" he stood up and immersed, he placed this Stone of Nature in many big Auction houses but no one could see through it or the price was really that much but this Stone of Nature worth more than five thousands Jade pins!!

If she had bought it, she must be of some caliber, he needed to find her and ask for help before his daughter die with the untimely death.

Jen bought many things for Annchi, she was not cautious to not waste money so much, small necessities don't cost much, she bought some herbs too in case she needed.

"Annchi was running around to stop her, she might not payback such treatment, she was worried now,

Tired they reached the lodge.

Jen was not a shopping freak, she was considerate of her rapscallion ways, there could be such time when she might not buy for a long time because of her next breakthrough, so she stockpiled few things too.

Jen and first disciple prepared for the tomorrow fight.

First disciple remembered the man and swore to settle his anger by licking him some dust.

The reached the challenger ring by next day and sat in the audience to see the challenge of two Monarch Sages.

The challenger was able to defeat his opponent in less than five minutes, it looked one sided challenge, and one who emerged victorious was the man who brushed his shoulders with Annchi intentionally yesterday, as it was planned, first disciple jumped in the challenger ring and challenged the winner.

Initially, the management thought to take down his challenge but the man interrupted and accept the challenge, he was contented to find him here other way he might have searched him in the whole Manias, he looked at the direction from where first disciple came and saw the girl sitting there, today she was looking hundred times more beautiful which cause his lips to curl up!!

First disciple saw this and gritted his teeth with disgust toward the man.

"I am sorry man_from now on she will be mine_!!" he was eager to kill this nervous man.

Annchi was aware what was going on without speaking words, she was reason of this extra mark.

First disciple released his dominion with over powered fury, if he was given chance he wished to burn this overconfident guy.

Both had enmity, the dominion of first disciple broke because of the tactics of the winner and he spurted blood but did not give up, it was not a simple fight, his life was on stake.

He was reluctant to give up and came up with another attempt though the gape in which he was defenseless injured him, another fierce attack with his dominion and technique brought him on the equal footing of the winner.

Immense pressure of his dominion brought opportunity for him and he grabbed the man with his giant claw and forced broke his dominion without leaving him, he smashed him on the ground.

The man did not rise up again.

First disciple was given the reward of winner, which was hundred thousand gold pins.

He stumbled toward Annchi and Jen, he himself was not in good condition.

He fought his first fight and won, he was amazed, and looked toward Annchi who was silently crying. He did not say anything.

Jen gave him some herbs to heal injuries.

After an hour, it was her turn!

The respected figure of this Manias spotted her and sat there, he thought that she was here to audience these challenges.

Jen was carefully taking notice of the tricks of both challengers and one who was powerful than the other, only some miracle could help her to win this challenge, she breathed deep.

The idea to drop this idea also came in her mind not because she was coward but because it was like intentional suicide to fight with Green Sage since she was only Stone Sage.

She was not here to win, she only wanted to test her caliber, she would clearly lost against him and also her Jade Pins in compensation of her challenge.

She was ready to fight for lose a lose challenge!!

What if she die??

This was not possible right? It was not death ring!! Only challenger ring!!

Her opponent would stop as soon as she fell, she was thinking and first disciple could hear her, he would spurt another mouthful of blood, who on earth fight to lose?? Only some lunatic!!
