Chapter 150
"The next contestants are, contestant Laura against contestant Derrell." As the two names were mentioned, the two contestants walked to the stage from the opposite sides of the arena. As Laura approached the stage, she saw her opponent from the other side as she remembered Adrian's words from their conversation earlier.
"I want you to fight him, beat him up, and show your dominance over an apostle. And then, I want you to lose." Adrian said.
"What? Why?" Laura asked as she couldn't see the point of losing.
"Just trust me. I need you to lose so I can face him as well. If all goes well, we will have ourselves an ally by the end of the day." Adrian replied, not answering her question with a reason.
"And what if we don't?" Laura asked. What if Derrell doesn't agree to be an ally? Then what? What will they accomplish then?
