Chapter 198 Finish them?!!!
The announcer's voice boomed through the underground chamber, "Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for a mixed tag team elimination match! The winner is whichever member is left standing! Let the bets begin!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and speculation, eager to witness the unique match. As the platform awaited the new contestants, two teenage boys stepped forward, their werewolf presence palpable. The spectators eyed them with a mix of anticipation and excitement.
Among the newcomers were a boy and a girl, accompanied by two men. The teenagers were visibly restrained, their hands bound to chains. The crowd's murmur grew louder as the men pushed the duo onto the platform. Just before stepping onto the stage, the men whispered something into the teenagers' ears, creating an air of mystery.
The bound hands were freed, and as the two men stepped back, the announcer revealed, "Introducing our mysterious newcomers, Sully and Suzzy!"
Confusion rippled through the crowd. Spectators exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of who the twins were. Side talks erupted, with expressions ranging from curiosity to skepticism.
A spectator whispered to another, "Who are these two? Never seen 'em around."
The response came with a shrug, "No idea. But they don't smell like werewolves, do they? Something's fishy."
As Sully and Suzzy took their places on the platform, the audience continued their speculative discussions. The twins, sensing the scrutiny, shared a quick glance, exchanging silent determination.

Another spectator added, "I don't trust 'em. Non-wolf scent in the underground? Unheard of!"
The twins, amidst the chatter and suspicious gazes, stood unfazed. Suzzy, her expression calm, exchanged a confident nod with Sully. The underground chamber buzzed with uncertainty, and the mystery surrounding the newcomers added a layer of intrigue to the mixed tag team elimination match.
The underground echoed with the sudden shout, "Boss... Joaquin, you are welcome!" The lively atmosphere plunged into immediate silence, every werewolf turning their attention to a corner where a hefty man in a black jacket and boots stood.
The loud music came to a halt as Joaquin, flanked by Ronan and Marhal, made his presence felt. The Blood Wolf gang leader, commanding respect and authority, emerged as a force to be reckoned with.
In a voice that sent shivers through the crowd, Joaquin uttered a single authoritative word, "Silence." The werewolves hushed instantly, their eyes wide and attentive, acknowledging the presence of the dominant leader.
Joaquin's gaze swept across the room, his every step demanding attention. "Place a bet against the twins and let's see who comes out on top. I order you all," he declared. The peculiar order left the crowd exchanging glances, but no one dared question the leader. As Joaquin moved through the crowd, werewolves stumbled over tables to make way for him.
Seating himself in a comfortable chair in front of the platform, Joaquin's presence heightened the anticipation. Ronan and Marhal, eyes fixed on the twins, knew the upcoming fight was about to be intense.
"What's the hold up, mate? Begin the fight already!" Joaquin's command rang out, compelling the two opponents of Sully and Suzzy to lunge towards them like unleashed dogs. The atmosphere transformed into a scene of audacity and authority as the fight unfolded under the watchful gaze of the Blood Wolf gang leader.
As the half-transformed teenage werewolves lunged towards them, Sully and Suzzy exchanged a sly grin, a silent understanding passing between them. In perfect synchronization, they prepared for the impending onslaught.
Suzzy, with a swift motion, conjured ice barriers to weather the initial attack. The werewolves, caught off guard by the sudden defensive move, collided with the shimmering ice walls. Simultaneously, Sully burst into flames, the fiery aura surrounding him as he charged towards one of the werewolves.
The werewolf retaliated with a ferocious lash of its claws, but Sully, fueled by the flames, dodged the attack with agility. In a split-second response, Suzzy seized the opportunity, shooting ice spikes to cover her brother from an obscure angle.
Sully, his fist ablaze, delivered a bone-shifting punch that connected with precision on the werewolf jaw and immediately, it overpowered the werewolf. The fiery impact sent shockwaves of confusion and utter surprise through the underground chamber, and the defeated opponent crumbled to the ground.
The crowd, initially silent in the presence of Joaquin, erupted into a mix of cheers and loud blabberings.
Amidst the cheers and exclamations of the crowd, a werewolf in the audience exclaimed, "Blimey! Did you see that? Who are these blokes?"
His companion, still in shock, replied, "Never seen 'em before. Quick as a fox, that one with the flames!"
A nearby werewolf added, "Thought they were just newcomers, but they've got some serious bite, don't they?"
As Suzzy conjured ice barriers, another werewolf chimed in, "Ice and fire, mate! These twins are playing with elements like it's a game!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut not everyone seemed pleased with this development.
Amidst the cheers and admiration, a dissenting voice rose from the crowd, "Oi, this ain't right! Non-wolves shouldn't be showing us up like that!"
Another disgruntled werewolf added, "I say, it's an insult to our kind! Outsiders ain't supposed to outshine us!"
A murmur of disapproval spread, and a werewolf scoffed, "Ice and fire or not, they're trespassing on our turf. Unnatural, if you ask me!"
A more defiant voice chimed in, "Can't believe we're cheering for non-wolves. This is an affront to our pride!"
As the chatter continued, a subtle realization spread among the werewolves that Joaquin was still present. A shared glance, a nudge between spectators, and the message to remain silent passed swiftly through the crowd.
On the stage, the only werewolf left standing was the second one. Witnessing his companion knocked out by a single blow should have signaled the end of the match, but the relentless voices urging him on and the sheer pressure, especially sensing Joaquin's gaze fixed upon him, ignited a rage within him.
In a burst of anger, he yelled and rushed toward Sully, deeming him the most significant threat after incapacitating his friend.
However, with a decisive yet merciful move from Suzzy who wished to get in on the action as well, a swift creation of an ice barrier halted the enraged werewolf in his tracks, freezing him all the way to his neck from his toes. The crowd fell silent as Suzzy's mastery over her abilities prevented further confrontation.
After ensuring the werewolf was no longer a threat and the twins being declared the winner, Joaquin rose from his seat. Staring at the twins with intensity, he uttered two words that hung heavy in the air..
"Finish them..."
