Chereads / I Hate Gods / Chapter 13 - Last Minute Hero

Chapter 13 - Last Minute Hero

That Bastard! Why is he here now of all times? Does he really think I won't beat him up after what he did last time?

Jacob glared at the hooded figure standing behind the hunched over Robert. His eyes were burning with fury as he clenched his fists, and gave Jack a mean smirk.

"It seems you haven't changed in the slightest, out Last Minute Hero. You are still that spoiler brat who doesn't have a life."

Jack smirked at this, his eyes glowing in a faint light as he straightened his spine.

"Haha, Jacob… Still as humourous as ever… Daring to hit a friend of mine? It seems you've forgotten who you're dealing with?" Jack grinned as he drew his left hand out of his pocket and cracked his knuckles.

Jacob merely scoffed before suddenly dashing forward, knocking Robert who stood directly in front of him to the side.

"Shit! Jack and Jacob are about to have another clash? Dammit, someone get me my Starblet, I'm streaming this to our private Starnet Channel!"

"Increase the size of the wrestling ring! Jacob's challenger is a bigger threat than Robert, and the both of them would be going all out!"

"Don't scream! I repeat, ladies don't scream whenever someone lands a powerful hit! My ears are hurting!"

Following a wild uproar, the crowd shifted backwards frantically to create more space for the two 'contestants' to fight.

"Sigh…" Jack sighed emotional as he stood still whilst watching Jacob dash madly towards him with a brow raised in provocation, "Does everything need to be solved with power?"

The answer is simply—

In a burst of energy, Jacob lept towards Jack and clawed at his face with a crazed smile on his face. His long fingers were sure to tear off Jack's tender skin if they connected with his face.

After ruining Jack's face for good, he'll beat the male down to a pulp and send him to a hospital! Even if he couldn't kill, he could beat some sense into that spoiled moron!

—No!

Jack's grin faded away as he suddenly let out a soft sigh, he stood still without moving or blinking. His brow still lifted, and his body still radiating the aura of calmness and confidence.

Jacob was confused. He was about to tear off Jack's precious face and ruin him forever, but why was the bastard still standing in place without moving or doing anything?

"The human mind is exceedingly complex and very difficult to comprehend no matter how much you study it…" Jack spoke with a wide grin on his face watching as the distance between the fingers and his face shortened to only the length of an adult's palm!

"What rubbish are you spitting out you retard! I'll tear apart your face if you don't dodge!" Jacob roared out in a deep voice with his ruby eyes glowing in a psychotic light. His movements had sped up and his aura had turned ferocious!

Fay frowned upon Jack's psychotic actions. She found this scene very familiar, but couldn't put her finger on where and when this kind of scene had taken place before.

Robert, who had stood up after garnering enough strength in his body, drew out a spare pair of glasses from his pockets and wiped them before placing it on his face. He didn't forget to Pat off the dust on his body, and loosen his muscles.

He wanted to beat Jacob to a pulp himself! The b*stard dared to attack him even when he was down and stunned, for this reason, Robert would make sure he teaches Jacob an unforgettable lesson.

"Hehe, Jack isn't giving Jacob any face at all after what happened last time. If this continues, I don't think Jacob would be able to lift his chin up in pride for months…"

Rylex threw a glance at Robert, wondering what exactly she was missing. Ever since the fight began, she had been at a loss, wondering if it was her appearance that caused the ruckus.

But, from what she was noticing… It seemed much more deeper than that! Although she had the priority of being able to spy on Jack at any time she wanted with her Godly Eyes, she couldn't spy on him 24/7 and thus, missed some detail regarding his life.

After all, she had a world to look after and needed to eat and sleep to avoid straining her mental power. She just couldn't busy herself with one entity throughout the day, as she needed to do many other things.

"What happened last time? I've been hearing something about a race? Business rivals?"

Rylex continued staring at Robert who stood a few metres away from her with a confused expression on her face. She was tired of being left out in the dark, and didn't like the feeling of being unable to understand what was going on around her.

"Ah… Hehe. It happened a few weeks ago when Little Fay organised a little get together for all of us, Jacob included." Robert pushed up his glasses and began into speak in a soft and scholarly voice with his eyes radiating a soft light.

"So there was a party, and after the party a race was held…" Rylex raised her brows and spoke in a soft voice with an understanding expression on her face as she nodded repeatedly. She wasn't Jack's stealthy spy for nothing!

Something must have happened during the race that made their enmity ratio to multiply tremendously! What could it be?

Money? Competition? Girls? Maybe…

"That b*stard made a bet with my big brother and couldn't accept his loss!" Fay spat out in a soft voice with her eyes flaring, and her face twisted in rage and ferocity. She was going to skin that b*stard alive if she ever got the chance.

Wait a second… Bet? Rylex felt like she had missed a good TV show, and was unable to contain her disappointment in the slightest! If she'd known earlier, she would have dedicated some time to see that particular moment.

Rylex opened her mouth to speak but paused as she noticed something happening in the fight that made her brows jump, and her lips curved downward into a grim frown.

"Hahaha! Did you really think that I'd stupidly fall into your trap just like last time? Too naive!"

Jacob roared as his fingers froze only centimetres away from Jack's face. The crazy gleam in his eyes had grown stronger, and his aura had grown even sharper!

Suddenly, Jack's eyes flashed as his relaxed muscles tightened and he sharply threw out a punch that landed square on Jacob's face. Not only was Jacob's nose broken, he was also pushed back and away from his oppressor.

"Boom!"

Jacob who took staggering steps backwards raised his head and glared at Jack fiercely with his blood red eyes and a grim expression on his face. He wiped the blood on his face and dashed forward like a bolt of lightning!

Jack grinned as he lightly took a step forward and tilted his body to the side, dodging a punch that nearly crashed into his face! He also used this opportunity to execute a sneaky side kick that collided with the side of Jacob's waist.

'Fuck!' Jack roared internally as all the air in his lungs was knocked out and he was sent flying to the side, and crashing into a nearby fountain.

This bastard! He thinks he could humiliate me like last time? I'll– I'll end him! Jacob wanted to year the bastard apart! He wanted to… Argh!

Jack simply stood silently and watched Jacob thrashing and waving his arms about whilst bathing in the water. He was waiting for the guy to get out so he can beat him up more!

One was squirming around in the water, while the other was coldly watching with his arms crossed. Other people surrounded the duo without stepping out to help either of them, only watching with worried expressions.

Seeing this scene, Rylex finally found her voice with much difficulty and opened her mouth to speak with a strange expression on her face,

"Bet on what? I'm confused as to what kind of bet would invoke so much hate in these two people?"

The moment Gay opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly realised something and choked on her saliva. Soon, she began to cough wildly with tears in her eyes. What did they bet on?

It was the same thing they were about to engage in after this little get together… A race! Last time, they were caught by the police and locked up for destruction of public property so they were careful not to hurt each other or the environment.

Now with the discovery of Galactic Ascension, they could finally unleash their racing potential and race fiercely to their hearts content! Fay didn't know why, but her blood was seething now!

"Hehe, don't worry Rylex… You'll understand what we bet on in a moment… You'll understand…"
