Chapter 185: You Asked For It
TL: FoodieMonster007
The duel commenced.
On the duel stage, two young bladesmen faced off, blades pointed at each other. Sunlight glanced off their weapons, casting brilliant reflections that scattered in all directions.
Some in the audience squinted against the sudden glare, yet no one uttered a word. The tension that hung over the arena silenced any complaints, leaving the crowd to shield their eyes with raised hands as they strained to see.
Hyonwon Kang and Seonwoo Jin circled each other slowly, moving clockwise as they searched for openings in each other's stances.
"You sure went all out," Seonwoo Jin remarked dryly, trying to maintain his composure amidst the weight of so many eyes upon him. "Now that I think about it, this whole duel was part of your plan, wasn't it? I walked right into your trap."
Now that he stood here, Seonwoo Jin realized he had fallen for Hyonwon Kang's deception. As long as he didn't do anything, he would have easily won the election. However, in a fit of anger, he threw all reason aside and initiated the duel, giving Hyonwon Kang the perfect chance to turn the tide in his favor.
But what upsets me the most… is the fact that Hyonwon Kang laid this trap fully believing that he would win the duel.
Suppressing his growing killing intent, Seonwoo Jin smiled. "Fine. If you beat me, the President's seat is yours, and to hell with the election. How about that?"
