Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 16
Advertisement
Eh, nevermind. Cross seldom replies to her messages. No, that man seemed to hate texting and would directly call her. She opened the message again and reviewed their past conversations. Ah, now that she thought about it, this man was actually pretty boring. He would only reply using one word. Ok. Can. Can't.
What kind of man is this? Sera decided to focus on her money and sent a smirk towards Feng Xiaotan who was glaring at her. This time, she didn't say anything and just observed her opponent. Since this is a knockout contest, then if she defeats this group today, she wouldn't see them again tomorrow.
This means she would have a peaceful day! Sera smiled when the announcer told them that the five-minute break time is up.
"Hey, quickly check the background of this woman," Feng Xiaotan said as he watched the third round. Right now, he really wanted to find a hole where he could bury himself and just hide from this embarrassment. The timer just started and the one that he sent was already losing! Moreover, Sera was using the same tactics as earlier. She was attacking them!
This woman was too aggressive. Even Feng Xiaotan couldn't help but cursed inwardly. The only reason why he agreed to offend this woman is because of Yuan Quan. They grew up together, and he had long seen her as a little sister. Of course, his Feng Family and her Yuan Family is also talking about marriage in the past years but both of them refused to marry each other without developing some feelings for each other first.
Who would have thought that because of this, his double dragon team would be shamed like this? Feng Xiaotan sighed. The announcer already announced that Sera won. 3-0.
If they were using the previous rules, Double Dragon would have been defeated by now. "Alright, I will play with her next." Feng Xiaotan said. "I want you to show you your mistakes. Keep an eye on the screen. Let me show you how to handle opponents like these." Feng Xiaotan said. "No need to take a break!" Feng Xiaotan told the announcer before he glanced at Sera. He wanted to say something to provoke her, but seeing her yawn made his blood boil like blood.

All of his teammates that she defeated were actually about to cry from embarrassment! However, this woman was yawning? She was sleepy? Does this mean fighting against them bore her? "You — You just wait and see!"
Sera fought the urge to roll her eyes. So childish. "Alright, no need for a break. If we take another break, I will really fall asleep." Her words weren't loud, but Feng Xiaotan who had been paying attention to her still heard it.
He clenched his jaw, anger flashed in his eyes.
"Since you don't want a break then… no more break. This is the fourth round! Miss Zhang even if Mr. Feng will defeat you, you still needed to fight against the last three members of their group. Don't think too much, Mr. Feng had been in this industry for a few years now."
"Oh," Sera nodded. This means Feng Xiaotan's skills should be better than those people, right?
Seeing Sera donned her bland face, Feng Xiotan became more and more irritated. Oh? Her answer was just Oh? "Let's start!"
Sera nodded. After a few seconds, the announcer told them that their five minutes to build their defense already started. Then, the five minutes to start attacking the opponent slowly followed.
"Ah? Feng Xiaotan actually had the chance to attack her? Wow!"
"Feng Xiaotan is really an expert! Look at him attacking and her defending?"
Feng Xiaotan ignored the other people as his finger flew on the keyboard. Faster, he thought. Faster! His brain was already in fight mode, he couldn't think of anything else but attack and attack! No matter how difficult her defense was, he believed that he would be able to break through and defeat her.
However, after two minutes, his expectations didn't happen. Another two minutes passed and still, Feng Xiaotan was struggling to break into her defenses. Soon, it was already six minutes… then ten.

Feng Xiaotan used a lot of methods, but none of them were able to break her defense system. His heart started to turn erratic, sweat drenched his shirt. What is going on? For the outsiders, it looked like he was attacking Sera, but he knew that wasn't really the case. In fact, until now, he hasn't really made any progress. All he was doing was entering some code, but all of them failed!
"Hmmm…" Sera nodded as she looked at her own screen. Manjun said that Feng Xiaotan is one of the Double Dragon of the team, so she tried to assess his skills by letting him attack her first. It seems that his skills weren't really noteworthy. She sighed inwardly before deciding to launch her own attack.
Since Feng Xiaotan was so focused on his own attack, he failed to notice Sera's actions. In the end, he was defeated in just a few minutes. Once again, Sera took the time to hack into the system and sent him a message.
4-0
Unable to stop himself, Feng Xiaotan slammed his hand against the keyboards. Without saying anything, he stood and glared at Sera before leaving the stage.
"…" Sera watched as the bulky man strode out of the competition area. Apparently, losing was such a big deal to Feng Xiaotan. But he was actually acting like a bully earlier. Did he really think no one could beat him in this city? Eh, nevermind. That doesn't concern her anymore. Her gaze landed on the remaining three players. Smiling, Sera said. "Next!"

Mr Reigns
I was going to die on the stairs. Before I could actually feel the other steps of the stairs, I felt hands wrapped themselves around my waist. My eyes were closed. Why do we close our eyes when there were some dangers? That was stupid. As if with closed eyes, we weren't going to feel any pain. "Fuck. Are you okay?" I opened my eyes quickly when I heard this deep sexy voice. My eyes widened at the sexy piece of human standing in front of me. No human had the right to be that sexy. "God?" I asked. When he rose one of his perfect eyebrows in confusion, I realized how stupid I sounded. His perfect face was everything. His well trimmed beard made him look so handsome. His green eyes was hypnotizing. As his body was pressed against mine, I could feel how muscular he was. He helped up stand up and roughly let go of me. His eyes trailed to the floor. I followed his eyes to see a cigarette on the floor. "I'm sorry?" I more like questioned. Was I supposed to apologize for the wasted cigarette which was going to ruin his health? "Thank you" I said when I decided to look at him again. He was already staring at me. He was wearing a black suit. His hair was perfectly fixed. I wonder how would he look if his hair was messy and he was wearing a Jean. Noticing that he was not going to say anything else, I stared at the stairs. "I'm going to go" I simply said and walked down the stairs carefully. When I was on the grass, I gently lifted my dress so that it wouldn't be ruined and walked bare feet on the grass. I turned my head slightly to look at the man, who seemed to be observing me. He was still on the stairs, his eyes on me. He was model worthy. He did seem to the snobby type of man. I quickly turned around to face the woods. That man could take the breath away just by his looks.
