The Genius Mage Chapter 263 - One-on-One Combat

Chapter 263: One-on-One Combat

“What if I don’t!?” Audrey was glad that she had placed the Snow Lotus in the otherworldly realm. Otherwise, she would have been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the mysterious man.

“Huh? If you don’t…” The mysterious man’s sinister gaze swept across everyone present, and his tone was long.

“Then don’t blame me for killing everyone present!” The mysterious man said.

As soon as he said this, everyone cried out in surprise.

Kill everyone! What a big tone.

Joss wanted to ask who the other party was, but he did not expect to be stopped by Adrian. His eyes signaled for the other party to stop talking.

Audrey was alarmed. She might not match the person in front of her, and the people present were not particularly strong.

Audrey believed that the mysterious man before her, whose name was unknown, might be able to actually kill everyone present.

The mysterious man was not in a hurry either. He stood in front of Audrey without saying a word, quietly waiting for her answer.

Audrey’s hands, which were hanging by her side, were sweating.

The others did not dare to speak either. There was an atmosphere of war in the air.

“What exactly do you want?” Audrey’s azure eyes stared at the man, trying to see through him, but she could not see anything.

Hearing this, the mysterious man snorted.

“Is there a need to say that? As long as you hand over the Snow Lotus, we’ll let them go.” The mysterious man pointed at the group of people who were not even worth being afraid of.

The people pointed at could not help but feel a chill on their backs as if a poisonous snake was targeting them.

Angeline hid behind the crowd and observed in secret. This mysterious man in a black cloak seemed to make Audrey very afraid.

Angeline thought for a moment. Since even Audrey was afraid of this man, he was definitely a threat.

At this moment, it was best for her not to take the initiative to go out and cause trouble.

“Hand it over?” Audrey crossed her arms over her chest as she stared intently at the pair of sharp eyes under the mask.

Who exactly was he?

An unfathomable power targeting her…

Audrey knew that she could not hand over the Snow Lotus. Not to mention that they were the ones who obtained the Snow Lotus. The Snow Lotus was still in the otherworldly realm.

If she were to enter the otherworldly realm in broad daylight, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of others. The mysterious man would not be able to obtain the Snow Lotus either.

Therefore, she could not hand over the Snow Lotus.

The mysterious man stood where he was and did not move. Instead, he paid attention to Audrey’s expression. When he saw Audrey’s pensive expression, he guessed that it was impossible for her to hand it over.

I must think of a compromise, Audrey thought to herself.

“It’s impossible for me to hand it over to you directly,” Audrey said.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere around the mysterious man began to change. The other people around the mysterious man also had unfriendly expressions.

“Audrey! Don’t be ungrateful. Hand over the Snow Lotus, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise… Hmph! You know our strength.” Daisy, beside the mysterious man, could not keep her cool. She stood up and threatened Audrey arrogantly.

Xavier also stood beside Daisy as if he was supporting her.

“But I want to fight you one-on-one. Don’t hurt the innocent.” Audrey did not take what Daisy said to heart at all.

One-on-one!?

Daisy was startled. She did not expect that Audrey would want to fight her boss one-on-one. Could she possibly beat her boss in a one-on-one fight? The corners of her lips curled up as she revealed a sarcastic smile.

Her boss’ strength was unfathomable. However, the chances of Audrey defeating her boss were too low, so they were sure to win!

“Alright, I agree.” The mysterious man nodded in agreement. He was very confident in himself.

Audrey’s palms were wet. In fact, she was not sure if she could defeat him. But, she had no choice but to fight with her life on the line.

Klein and the others had been standing behind Audrey the entire time. Now that they heard that Audrey would fight the mysterious man one-on-one, they felt extremely guilty.

“Audrey and I are on the same team! I’m not considered innocent, and I can’t abandon Audrey. I can only watch Audrey fight for us alone and be a coward!

“I, Klein, will never allow myself to become such a person!” Klein stood beside Audrey. He spoke.

Klein turned around and exchanged a glance with Audrey. Then, they exchanged a smile.

“I will never abandon Audrey either.” Kate had always stood by Audrey’s side, sharing life and death moments with her.

“I won’t either!”

“Including me! We’re on the same team. So how can we hide behind our backs like cowards!”

“…” Immediately after, the others followed suit. Finally, everyone in Audrey’s team stood up.

Rose and Barbara also wanted to step forward to help, but their strength was not enough to help Audrey. They might even become a liability to Audrey.

Just as the two of them were about to step forward to volunteer, they were stopped by Audrey’s gaze.

The two of them lowered their heads, their eyes filled with guilt and frustration.

“The rest of you can just take good care of yourselves!” Klein looked at Angeline with disdain. With her head lowered, it was impossible to see the expression and emotions on her face.
