Chapter 712 Hayley vs The Masked Man
+8 Pearls
Although Xavier had mentioned Hayley’s identity, the ules of the arena were not something that could be easily bent, regardless of status.
Even though Silas was outwardly asking for the masked man’s opinion, deep down, he was actually hoping the guy would nod and agree.
After all, not only had Hayley dared to hit Xavier, but he also feared that if she didn’t get what she wanted, she might wreak havoc not just in the arena, but in the entire black market.
Hayley’s POV:
I stood with Silas, staring at the masked man, waiting.for his response.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the masked man smiled faintly.
Then he spoke, “Let’s go with the audience’s wishes then. I don’t mind taking on two of them.
“Whatever the outcome, it’s just one death or two.
“Werewolves have never been a match for our witch clan.” His voice dripped with contempt and provocation.
But his arrogant words successfully ignited the enthusiasm of the witch clan spectators.
They banged on the tables and screamed excitedly, cheering for the masked man.

The smile vanished from the masked man’s face, replaced by a terrifying aura, as if he had transformed into a different person.
Strangely, in that instant, he seemed eerily familiar to me.
But despite racking my brain, I couldn’t recall anyone matching his profile.
However, before I could analyze this feeling further, the masked man suddenly changed his fighting style and attacked first.
I responded cautiously with every step.
I remembered how he had conserved his strength against Benjamin, only to unleash a fatal blow at a crucial moment.
I wanted to see the full extent of his powers.
His speed in avoiding Benjamin’s attacks had already been impressive, but as he launched his assault on me, his speed skyrocketed.
I felt a gust of wind as he rushed at me, my eyes narrowing slightly as he closed the distance at breakneck speed!
