Chapter 300 Chapter 300 Well, what do you say, Brandon ? Are you ready to duel with me? Noelle asked, her voice firm.
Brandon remained silent for a moment, scanning Noelle with a calm gaze.
His lips pressed into a straight line, showing no emotion.
After a brief pause, he finally smirked, his tone light and teasing.
Alright, since Noelle wants a duel, how can I not fulfill your request? If you want a duel, then lets have one.
He released his grip on Nicolas and asked, How do you plan on doing this? Noelle responded confidently. The arena is this lab.
As for the conditions of victory, the loser must surrender.
Alright, Brandon agreed, smiling indulgently.
TII follow Noelles lead He then turned to Nicolas.
Can we remove the heavy artillery around us now? Nicolas sneered, Are you scared? Scared? Of course, Brandon replied casually.
If one of those heavy machine guns hits me, Ill be dead instantly.
As the two men stood in a standoff, Noelle gently tugged at Nicolass sleeve.
Nicolas, let them go Noelle Nicolas looked at her, worry evident in his eyes.
Noelle understood Nicolass concern.
She wasnt sure if she could defeat Brandon, but she also knew that if she hadnt proposed this duel, Nicolas might have died.
She couldnt let that happen.
Nicolas finally relented, agreeing to her request.
He ordered that the heavy machine guns be moved outside the research lab, ensuring they would still have a chance to fight back if anything went wrong Once everyone had cleared out, Brandons gaze fell on Nicolas, a playful smile on his face.
Youre still here ? and watch! What if you have strick up your sleeve? Nicolas laughed.
Cant I stay an Brandons smile grew more mocking.

Nicolas frowned, unwilling to leave.
Noelle, I should stay.
He didnt trust leaving her alone with Brandon, but Noelle shook her head, her expression determined.
You need to go.
If you stay, Ill be distracted Nicolas paused, a bitter laugh escaping him.
You think Ill be a hindrance ? Noelle blinked up at him, her tone serious.
Not a hindrance, but Nicolas, youre my weakness.
I cant expose my weakness to the enemy.
Thats just basic strategy Nicolas chuckled softly.
He stepped closer, bending down to hug her, his large hand gently stroking her hair.
My little treasures all grown up, saying such thoughtful things.
III do as you say, but promiseyoull cout of this safely.
Noelle held him tightly, her heart aching at the thought of being apart from him.
Though they had only been separated for a few days, It felt like years.
She buried her head in his chest, inhaling deeply, then pulled back slightly to smile at him .
Dont worry, Nicolas.

You have to win.
Noelle nodded firmly.
I will win After their goodbyes, Nicolas left the research lab, and the place was left with only Noelle and Brandon Brandon had been calm during their farewell, not interfering with their moment.
Noelle found it strange she as the patient type.
She glanced at him, confused, and asked, Brandon, why are you being so calm ? think of Brandon Brandon leaned against the workbench, a playful smile still on his handsface.
This is Noelles final farewell to that man.
IF 1 interfered, Id seem insensitive, and then Noelle might start disliking me.
His words stung, and Noelle retorted, I wont lose to you? 1/2 2:30 PM c Chapter 300 Really? Brandon grinned, then stood up, but didnt immediately attack.
Instead, he offered, Noelle, why dont you make the first move ? To make it fair .
Ill let you have a few free shots.
Noelle studied him, wary and cautious.
Brandon, dont underestimateBrandon tilted his head slightly, smiling warmly.
Noelle, my little fool.
Im not underestimating you.
Im doing this because I love you.
You dont love me.
Noelle shot back.
You only seeas your possession.
Brandon raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
I do possess you, but whats the problem with that? Doesnt it mean I love you? No. Noelle said, shaking her head.
Real love is what Nicolas has respect and equality Brandon didnt respond immediately.
He merely smiled, soft and low, as he said, Noelle, there are many ways to show love.
And 1 certam that I love you But I dont need it, Noelle replied firmly.
At that moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoelle charged at him. Brandon, however, easily caught her fist mid air, closing in with a grin.
Is this really your best effort? It doesnt feel like much .
Its not over yet Noelle quickly pulled a small knife from her side and aimed for his neck, targeting the carotid Επ. artery, but she was just a hair off. Brandon easily avoided her strike, using his two fingers to trap the knife.
Youre trying to kill me? His eyes darkened as he stared at her.
Noelle didnt deny it.
As long as youre alive, you wont letgo, will you! She had learned from the lab cut down the threat completely She couldnt leave Brandon alive; he was too dangerous.
Brandon seemed to grow angry.
With a swift motion, he applied pressure, snapping Noelles wrist.
She granted in pain, but quickly used his grip as leverage to swing her leg towards his head.
The sharp edge of her heel glinted if it connected, it could seriously injure him.
Brandon was forced to release her hand to avoid the strike, giving Noelle the opening she needed to break free.
With lightning speed, Noelle pulled herself back and began to reset her ΟΠ broken wrist, her movements smooth and without hesitation showing just how skilled she was Brandon clapped in appreciation.
Well done, Noelle.
Excellent technique.
Noelle, however, knew that skill alone wouldnt win the fight.
She had to outsmart him.
Brandon was stronger, and strength alone couldnt defeat him .
She needed to surprise him.
With a plan in mind, Noelle darted towards the deeper part of the research lab.
Brandon chuckled, Noelle, are you trying to play hide and seek? Noelle didnt answer just kept running Brandons smile faded, and his tone grew serious as as he followed her. E AD Comment Send gift No Ads
