Chapter 1260 The Fight
Nevertheless, the assassin had lightning reflexes, and her hand shot up to cover her nose
with her sleeve.
Then, Olivia seized the chance to land a kick on the assassin's abdomen.
It was just a fluke that the bone-softening powder floating around in the air ended up
getting blown onto the face of the assassin.
Suddenly, the assassin was baffled by her repeated attempts to stand, but to no avail.
On the other hand, Olivia felt a surge of pride upon witnessing this and realized that her
powder appeared effective. She waited until the powder had dispersed before releasing
her grip on the nose. Then, she shouted to Jewel, "Don't breathe in, Jewel!" After saying
this, she shook the bottle full of powders in the direction of the fight.
Everyone present was an assassin, so they naturally had quick reflexes. All of them
instantly moved to run away with a hand over their mouths and noses. An outsider might
have thought she had thrown a grenade into the area.

Olivia was confused by the outcome. Why isn't the powder working? Did I use up all the
powder on one assassin? No wonder the powder worked so well earlier. Shoot! She didn't
have much time to process what was happening, so she sprang into action and dragged
Jewel out of the group so they could escape.
Before she could get more than a few paces ahead, Blood Rose sprinted over and swung
an angry fist at Olivia's head.
Although she wasn't a great fighter, Olivia made up for it with her speed, agility, and acute
awareness of danger. She managed to avoid the fist, but Blood Rose's next strike was
already aimed at her. Consequently, she could not counter Blood Rose's attacks and could
only dodge them and defend herself.
Soon, Blood Rose's barrage of attacks eventually wore Olivia down because Blood Rose
was the second strongest fighter in the Double Dragon Court, right after Jewel. In the
meantime, close-quarters combat was also Olivia's Achilles' heel. With years of idyllic
living dulling her skills and reflexes, her fight with Blood Rose was akin to an
inexperienced fighter facing the strongest. It was not surprising to see her overwhelmed
by the fight.
She scanned the area between her blows and noticed a rotten wooden staff lying on the
ground. While Blood Rose was herding her in that direction, she took advantage of the
opportunity to grab the staff from the ground.
At this moment, Blood Rose had just run up to her to launch a second assault when she
felt a gust of wind. She was taken aback and reacted instinctively by dodging, but it was
too late. She might have avoided being hit in the head, but the wooden staff brushed past
her ear and smacked her shoulder. The sudden onset of pain caused her to sway while
standing. She raised a hand to her sore shoulder and seethed through gritted teeth, "Do
you want to die?"
Olivia held the staff up with a murderous look on her face. "You're the one who has a
death wish!"

Blood Rose snorted before charging at Olivia once more.
After that, the two women exchanged blows for a few more minutes.
Although Olivia now had a weapon, she was still unable to fight as well as she would have
liked. Then, she glanced at Jewel and saw she was engaged in combat with four opponents
and could not assist her. If this keeps up, we're both going to die.
Fortunately, Olivia was a versatile fighter who could make use of whatever she could find.
She used anything she could get her hands on as a weapon, including random sticks, trash
cans, and the steel wire that was still affixed to the wall.
As the fight heated up, distant heavy footsteps could be heard, followed by the roar of a
harsh and commanding voice. "Stop that!"
Not wanting to be sidetracked from her battle with Blood Rose, Olivia didn't bother to look
in that direction, but she could tell it was Albert and River. As she had predicted, their
faces soon appeared within her view.
Meanwhile, Blood Rose turned to look at River and snorted. "I was wondering how Jewel
got away from the police. Since you escaped last time, I'll seize this opportunity to settle
the score once and for all!"
