Chapter 61

The entire crowd had their gaze fixated at the dust screen which engulfed Francis. The hall soon became silent as there were no movements from his position. A shakened Su walked closer with a lot of thoughts running though her mind.

"Has she..." She soon began to tremble. The dust screen settled and they all heard a cough from Francis. Su and the ref gave a sigh of relief. Francis walked out of the wall with his body shivering and smoke rising from it. He fell to his knees and coughed out blood. His mind dazed, his top burnt revealing a chared bloodied body. He could only lift one eye and was moments away from passing out. The crowd went silent as they watched him gasp for air.

"Why?" Francis spoke weakly as a tear rolled out from his opened eye.

"Huh?" She had a visible confused expression on her face.

"Why you? Why did you overcome the barrier of weakness while others like me remain stuck? How did you get so strong?" He coughed out as the tears still trailed from his eyes.
