Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 53 Meeting An Acquaintance at the Duel Tournament
The annual Duel Tournament was the most significant and highly anticipated event in Melfrey, organized and supervised by the most powerful and influential organization in the region, the God's Armament Alliance
Two days before the start of the Duel Tournament, more than half of the participants had already arrived, and accommodations in the surrounding area had been fully booked over half a month ago.
Did you think they would secretly hold such a large-scale, bloody, and violent event? On the contrary, the Duel Tournament had become a part of the local culture, held in a prosperous area near the northwest of Melfrey.
The west side of the venue was the bustling city area, while on the other side was an endless desert.
People wandered outside the yet-to-be-opened venue from time to time. The Duel Tournament was scheduled to last a full ten days. Those who couldn't find accommodation brought tents and skilfully set up camp in the desert.
Isabelle and her team were no exception.
"Little Jack, care to wander around with me?" Isabelle asked.
"What's there to see in this place? It's all sand. And I told you, don't call me that!" Jack crawled out of his tent and said angrily to Isabelle..
"There are too many people here. Let's not attract too much attention. The Duel Tournament will start in a few hours. White Owl said as he walked over.
Everyone followed White Owl's advice and looked around.
By this time, thousands of tents of various sizes had already been set up in the area. making it look like quite a sizable tribe to anyone unaware. People of different skin colours and appearances could be seen everywhere. What they had in common was that none of them were easy to deal with.
Pairs of murderous eyes lingered on them.
Some even stood near their tent, wiping their daggers while staring at them with provocative and sarcastic looks. Their gaze resembled that of a predator looking at easy prey.
rently, after the events of the past few days, the long-declined Blackwater Mercenary Corps had once an attracted attention from various forces.
This was not good news for White Owl and his team.
The Blackwater Mercenary Group once reached its peak with the smallest number of people and absolute disadvantage, making others envious and resentful. Moreover, theil boss was too ostentatious and attracted numerous powerful enemies.
Now, their rise would inevitably make them the target of everyone, subject to ruthless suppression.
White Owl and his team obylously have no power to resist.
Isabelle sneered, "Those who are not afraid of death can bring it on."

"Be careful with your words," Jack snorted, crawled back into his tent, and soon came out with a blanket. Isabelle caught the blanket thrown by Jack.
Jack said with a look of arrogance and disgust, "The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. Don't freeze to death, Little Girl!"
Isabelle replied, "Wasn't your former boss also a little girl?"
Jack immediately changed his expression. "Don't compare yourself with our boss, you are not worthy."
Isabelle thought to herself, it seems that she has to fight thirty-three battles in a row in this Duel Tournament, otherwise, she will never be able to shake the position of No Name in their hearts, and she will never be able to make them absolutely convinced like No Name.
Only by making a name for herself in the Duel Tournament can she deter those who are eyeing the Blackwater Mercenary Corps.
Isabelle looked at the cup in her hand and couldn't help but curse. Her old subordinates didn't recognize her. She had to defeat her former self to conquer them. What the hell was this?
Before six o'clock, it was already dark.
More and more people gathered towards the Duel Tournament, and almost everyone from the northwest came. Groups of mercenaries wearing combat uniforms with the same logo could be seen, as well as lone soldiers or bounty hunters.
Among them were also gangs from all around the world who had come from afar to join in the fun or for other purposes.
As soon as Isabelle and her team appeared, they attracted a lot of attention.
Most of them recognized White Owl. After their gaze swept over White Owl and the others, they immediately turned to Isabelle, who stood out in this male- dominated environment.
A woman's appearance here was quite a spectacle.
Especially an eighteen or nineteen-year-old Cheshian girl who looked tender and harmless. Isabelle's appearance, whether compared to the harsh and dark environment here or the tall, murderous desperados, was particularly conspicuous.
was hard not to notice.
Although the former boss of the Blackwater Mercenary Group, No Name, also had an innocent face like this little girl, they never saw No Name as a woman.
Anyone who had seen that Duel Tournament or even just heard of No Name's deeds knew how terrifying No Name was.
At this time, Isabelle was walking in the middle of White Owl and his team.
This scene couldn't help but remind them of the former boss of the Blackwater Mercenary Group and her
mercenaries.
Almost wherever White Owl and his team went, thoeves followed them.

With the presence of No Name, they dared not underestimate Isabelle.
"That's No Name,"
"As expected, Blackwater Mercenary Corps can only rely on women."
"Does this woman have any connection with No Name?"
"Is she the one who made Hurricane and his gang run away?"
"Let's not act rashly. This girl seems complicated. If she turns out to be another
No Name, we won't be able to handle it.
"Last year, not a single member of Blackwater showed up at the Duel Tournament. This year, they're so bold. Are they planning to let that woman
participate?"
"Hurricane and his gang suffered a big loss because of them a few days ago. I
heard they're planning to strike back tonight."
"If that's the case, let's just wait and enjoy the show."

Arriving late, White Owl and his team didn't want to draw attention. They chose a discreet location, overlooking the central of the Duel Tournament arena. At this time, two people were already warming up for the fight.
Having missed last year's Duel Tournament, Jack was excited about this year's event. "Do you want to place a bet? I'm thinking of betting on the tall guy to win."
Thanks to Isabelle, they finally had some money after more than a year of struggling in business and barely able to afford food. Jack's meals had improved over the past few days.
"Save it. Bet on me to win on the last day. Borrow whatever you can, pawn
whatever you can. Bet everything you have, Isabelle said, leaning on the railing
and looking down.
Jack opened his mouth to argue, but upon remembering Isabelle's strength, he quickly closed it. Finally, he said, somewhat unconvinced, "Dealing with the guys
on the last day won't be easy."

Isabelle was patient and skilled in prolonged battles, but she might not be
suitable for quick and decisive one-on-one fights in the Duel Tournament arena.
With the strength Isabelle had shown so far, winning three or four matches would
be no problem. However, Jack's intuition told him that Isabelle wouldn't stop at just three or four matches.
Isabelle nonchalantly remarked, "Then, the odds would be even higher, wouldn't
they?"
The first match was about to begin.

Isabelle was bored as she looked up and suddenly saw a familiar face standing
directly across from her on the level above.

The man was dressed in a suit and
tie, with a stern expression. His hands were tucked into his trouser pocket, a tall and straight posture. He is completely different from the ragged and rough-looking desperadoes around him. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read
