Chapter 838: Chapter 646 I Can Pretend Not to See_3
Jenna’s title as a Neglecter brought her more negative attention than anything else. She could move in and out of heavily guarded places without being noticed, and legend had it that her Neglecter’s gift derived from an adventure in her youth, where she became infected by a Giant’s strength and gained a portion of the Power of Rules. Of course, this was just a legend, and no one dared to verify it with Jenna. Many attributed the loss of their valuable items and the mysterious assassination of important figures to Jenna. Jenna, however, never bothered to explain, especially since no one could catch her anyway.
Jenna was supposed to be serving the Sanctuary Empire, so what was she doing here, and why had she started fighting with Long Yi?
"Actually, from the moment you impersonated my original opponent and stood here, I knew it," Long Yi said.
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Jenna, whose calf was nailed to the ground by a Fighting Aura spear. She tried to activate her Neglecter’s talent to free herself but was unable to move an inch in any direction.
"Including the glowing little trick you used to approach me, or your attempts at sneaking attacks—I saw them all clear as day. I simply pretended not to see you and played along. After all, I have already dealt with someone who had a partial Neglecter’s talent before, so even your personal appearance now is no different to me," Long Yi continued, his steps were slow yet steady. Jenna tried to use magic to attack him, but the intense pain made it impossible for her to concentrate. And it was already proven shortly before that simple and quick magic missiles were no match for Long Yi.
"But I’m just curious, I have no grievances with you, so why did you come after me? First, you sent your student to ambush me, and then you took action yourself. For someone who is at least a mage of the Sanctuary, don’t you have any shame?" Long Yi finally stood in front of Jenna.
Jenna was terrified, truly terrified. When facing Ai Lin, she always thought she was just a little girl and thus felt no fear. But now, confronted with Long Yi, who was an unstirring warrior, and this was the Arena, where you could really die! The fact that she had spent years studying the Rejuvenation spell showed how scared she was of dying. And at this moment, the thought of actually facing death made her vision go black!
"Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me! I’ll give you money! Lots and lots of money! I know many beautiful women, I can have them take turns serving you! Just don’t kill me, I’ll give you anything you ask for!" Jenna pleaded in panic.
"The problem is, I’m not so interested in the things you’re offering," Long Yi said with a faint smile.
He then reached out and grabbed Jenna’s head with his hand. It was only then that Jenna realized how enormous Long Yi’s hand was!
"Boss! You have to stop your fighter quick! If I die, you won’t get away with it either!" Jenna screamed at the top of her lungs.
Almost simultaneously, the Arena’s boss’s avatar appeared in the sky above the Arena.
"I deeply regret to inform you, Ms. Jenna, that the moment you decided to join this fight, you signed a contract. Despite my repeated reminders to read all the terms, you arrogantly chose not to follow my advice. So now, I must remind you, when you joined this Arena, whatever your previous status was, it no longer has any significance—you are but a Gladiator. Your life or death is in the hands of your enemy, not me. Please believe, we are merchants, and for us, a contract is more important than anything," the boss stated, then vanished.
And Jenna completely despaired!
"Well then, esteemed Mage Jenna, now it’s just you and me," Long Yi said with a smile.
