BXBX NOVEL Chapter 362 – Scott
Chapter 362 - Scott
Scott Brown.
His appearance couldn\'t be messier.
His right arm was gone, leaving only less than two inches left. There were bandages stopping the bleeding, but it was already red. It even showed a black dot as a sign of infection.
The body was so skinny that one could easily differentiate his bones.
Still, what shocked Theo was the killing intent emanating from his eyes. With a small dagger on his left hand, Scott struck Theo with all his might.
However, his speed couldn\'t be considered fast since his level was far below him.
Theo avoided him before kicking his back, blowing him next to the tentacle.
"Scott Brown," Theo called his name again with a grim expression.
"You arrogant bastard! Do you think you are good? Even if I can\'t kill you, you won\'t be able to escape this place alive." Scott got up and laughed out loud while slashing the remaining right arm he had left. "Argh!"
The blood was dripping from his right arm.
Before anyone could react, Scott threw the chopped arm into the water.
Seeing this bloody arm, the squid turned around and submerged into the water as if it planned to leave them alone.
"The squid returns to the water?" Theo narrowed his eyes, thinking that the squid might not come back to the surface again because of that blood. He thought Scott wanted to make him fail his mission to damage his reputation.
"You bastard killed my family!" Scott gritted his teeth, glaring at Theo. "Because of you, my father and mother committed suicide. If you didn\'t exist, I wouldn\'t need to suffer like this."
What Scott was referring to was none other than his life after Theo made his name in the main competition. After that kind of treatment from the citizens, the company that his father worked at decided to fire him. The same applied to his mother.
As both of them had no job and were being scrutinized by people because of Scott\'s bullying, the entire family was on the verge of collapsing.
Everything began to fall apart at that point as many people took advantage of the situation to make their life even more miserable. At the same time, none of their friends or relatives wanted to help them, afraid of getting the same treatment.
Leaving no other choice, his father started drinking and jumped off the roof. His mother couldn\'t endure the sadness as well and hung herself.
Scott\'s heart was torn into pieces as his only thought was revenge. He sold every possession he had even if he could only get less than half of the original money as it was impossible to see Scott as nothing but a scumbag.
Luckily, he managed to raise money and planned this kind of assassination. He didn\'t want to leave it in the hands of assassins… He wanted to kill Theo by his own method, thus resulting in him venturing to this place with a small group that protected him until they reached this place.
After his supply ran out, he ate his own arm and drank his blood to quench his hunger and thirst, waiting for Theo to come here.
However, what he got here was a shake in the head from Theo. "You reap what you sow. I am just a mere orphan and I could endure all those treatments from you and many people just to wait for my chance… I endured it for a whole decade. Even if I needed to sleep in hunger, I still waited for the chance to become better.
"Unfortunately, what you have chosen is the easiest method." Theo shook his head. "Instead of fighting, you choose to run away and do something like this. If this is all you can do…
"Then, you can die." Theo shook his head helplessly. "This is why you are in this current predicament. Do you think you can stop me from leaving this place?"
"Haha, you are always arrogant. That arrogant person will come and bite you!" Scott laughed as he heard loud noises from the lake.
Suddenly, eight tentacles emerged from the air as two squids came out of the water together.
"Two?!" Theo widened his eyes in shock.
"This will be the time where your arrogance will kill you!" Scott smirked. "There is another squid inside this lake that can only be called by blood! I have sold everything my family owns to buy the information and set up this trap for you!"
"Another squid that can only be called by blood?!" Theo drew a gasp before four tentacles dropped on the ground, circling around them as if they planned to catch them.
"You just used your Blink, so it\'s not possible for you to escape this place. Hahaha!" Scott laughed as he had prepared to die.
However, to his surprise, Theo also laughed like him. He placed his hands on his belly as if he couldn\'t withstand the irony. "I am arrogant? I think you are mistaking my arrogance for something else. Even though I act like this, I, by no means, underestimate them, including you. Do you think I walk here without knowing this is a trap?"
"Huh?!" Scott suddenly felt something wrong. Theo had the same expression like how he tricked other people in the Grand Gaia. He remained calm and collected as if everything was going according to his prediction.
Little did he know, Theo had been holding his laugh this whole time because he forgot that those who represented other countries were the geniuses in their respective country. If not, they wouldn\'t fight him and become that much of a challenge.
In other words, he had been fighting people of the same generations that were at a far higher level. As for Scott, who couldn\'t even get into the main competition, it was foolish of him to expect a high-level plan.
After all, the entire scheme turned out to be only at this level.
"This is our difference. If this kind of scheme could kill me, I would have died several times." Suddenly, Theo raised his middle finger and started to disappear, leaving his spear behind to show this body was just a mere clone. He didn\'t forget to say, "Die, foolish motherf*cker. Also, thanks for the information."
Theo disappeared while the tentacle raised to the highest peak, slamming it down to the ground.
"What? You bast—" Scott cursed him out loud, realizing what just happened. Unfortunately, before he could finish his word, the tentacle had hit the ground.
Bam.
