His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Nicole Jiang was not foolish. 

She did not descend to the stage without a game plan. She knew that Jiang Yinuo would not let her go scot-free because of their past. Therefore, she was prepared to fight back without reserve, even though her chances were not great. 

After all, she was a Guardian, despite her current low grade. Naturally, people believed in her and hoped that she would become a pillar of Martial Island in the future. If she did not stand her ground and face Yinuo, she would lose her credibility and everything she had worked for since she was a child. 

Everything would be blown away, and she would be just a mediocre girl again. And it was all because of her cousin Yinuo. 

With these thoughts, her heart became a little firmer. She held the bo staff in her hand with steady hands and looked at Yinuo with a mixture of hatred, anger and determination. She could not allow the girl to ruin her life again. 

"I like that look in your eyes." Jiang Yinuo smiled with crescent eyes as she looked back at Nicole. "It is not fun to beat something without a little fighting power. I hope you have more resilience than your little friend, Phoebe." 

Nicole felt cold sweat cover her back. "What did you do to Phoebe?" 

"I might have made her a part of her experiment. The Lambert family knows all about it." Jiang Yinuo laughed without care. "Coming to think of it, shouldn't you thank me for helping you out? I have eliminated your enemy."

Nicole did not feel grateful or happy. If anything, she was afraid as she tried to imagine what happened to Phoebe. Ashe was not privy to the details of Phoebe's research, but she was sure it was something dangerous. 

If Jiang Yinuo dealt with her, she was probably dead. 

"We were just rivals. I never wanted to harm her." Nicole said. 

Regardless of her feelings, she did not want her character setting to break. She needed to create a positive image, especially since she was in front of important people from both the island and the outside world. 

If she created a positive image, the confrontation with Jiang Yinuo could be the thing that propelled her to higher heights. She might even get higher clearance as a Guardian earlier than anticipated. Her life could change forever. 

And she did not need to win against Yinuo. 

As long as she held on for a period, the special Guardians would come to deal with the hostage situation. She would be a hero, and the pesky Yinuo would disappear for good this time. She would be the only worthwhile girl in the Jiang clan. 

"That's a shame. I wanted to send you off with good news." Jiang Yinuo said before taking a fighting stance with the sword in her hands. 

Without waiting for a response, Jiang Yinuo attacked Nicole. Her swordplay was as beautiful as ever. She was like a little murderous fairy floating across the stage as her sword glinted in the bright centre stage. 

In the past, when they were children, the sword instructor in the Jiang clan complained that Yinuo's swordplay was too showy. He said that the small girl wasted a lot of her power by making unnecessarily beautiful moves. 

In his words, if she focused on skill and power, she could accomplish more. The little Yinuo refused to change her swordsmanship. She said that she was a beautiful lady and would not fight like a stinky boy. The response made everyone mad. 

Unfortunately, no one could say anything after Yinuo managed to defeat everyone. 

Nicole lifted her staff and defended herself. She stopped the sword and felt the power reverberate through her weapon and bones. 

When she thought that she would have a chance to retaliate, Jiang Yinuo spun on her dainty boots and kicked her in the abdomen. Nicole slid backwards on the stage and barely managed to keep herself steady with the staff. 

Jiang Yinuo did not give her a chance to recover. She flew immediately to Nicole and gave her another firm kick, sending her back to the centre of the stage. 

These two moves were humiliating to Nicole in a way that everyone watching the spectacle could understand. In the beginning, Yinuo drew her sword and attacked the other girl with it. However, after a single move, the sword was held casually like a prop. 

It meant that Yinuo had tested Nicole's strength and found it to be lacking. In other words, Yinuo decided that it was not worthwhile for her to use a weapon. She was confident in beating her barehanded. 

Nicole felt a wave of shame and anger fill her. She forced down the pain from her cracked ribs and held the bo staff tightly. She watched as Yinuo approached her once again. She wanted to defeat her in a single move. 

Nicole was patient, and she watched with caution as Yinuo approached with that superior look in her eyes. Her red lips stretched into a beautiful smile before she leapt in the air, intending to crush Nicole beneath her foot literally. 

Nicole's eyes became sharp and vicious as she twisted the body of her staff. Immediately, two spearheads popped from the ends of the simple rod. It became a deadly weapon in a moment. If Yinuo continued in her projectile, her ending would be terrible. 

She would be impaled on the staff. 

Everyone in the audience waited with bated breath as they saw the beautiful but evil girl about to meet her end. Most people had mixed feelings about the situation. They were not sure if they wanted to see beauty destroyed just like that. 

But again, the girl was part of the terrorist group trying to throw over Martial Island. 

Nicole smiled as she saw her victory within her sight. She thought that, at most, she would be able to injure Yinuo and buy enough time for the Guardians to arrive. Now, she was about to kill the plague that made her uncomfortable since childhood. 

When Yinuo's death seemed inevitable, she turned in the air in a picturesque somersault, her ponytail swinging in the air. She landed on her feet behind Nicole with a light sound. She was like a dancer instead of a fighter. 

"That was quite a good try," Yinuo said. "But you are punching way above your weight class, elder cousin. Let me teach you how to deal with your enemies." 

The scene that followed caused some to gasp in horror and others to feel great pleasure at the viciousness of the beautiful girl. She did not use her sword, but it might have been kinder to just plunge the blade into the heart. 

By the time Yinuo stopped, Nicole was a bloody mess of broken bones and blood. 

The Arena fell into a great silence. 

When they heard the threat from Jiang Yinuo about the 'random act of violence', they thought that she was just talking trash. It seemed like a simple figure of expression. Now, they realised that she meant real violence. 

"That is enough, Yinuo Jiang." A booming voice spoke from the audience. 

The shout came from the place where the heads of the elite families were seated. The group did not have a special microphone to pick up the sounds. However, the Arena was quiet, and the speaker was quite loud. 

Jiang Yinuo looked up. "Oh, if it is not my dear Uncle…" 

"Do not behave like a child. Nicole has done nothing to harm you. Do not blame her just because you were a curious child without self-control." The man responded angrily. 

Yinuo smiled. "I was going to ignore you because I do not care much about you. But if you want, we can talk. Continue telling me about my shortcomings." 

Nicole's father refused to show fear before a person of the younger generation. He did not believe that Jiang Yinuo could actually do something to him. In his eyes, she was just a disgruntled girl trying to take advantage of Yuan Haoran's power. 

"Do you think that you can get out of here after the scene you have caused? Think carefully about your life and repent. There is still a chance for you to turn things around." The man advised. 

Jiang Yinuo lifted a finger and pointed it like a gun at the man who was shouting at her with a self-righteous expression on his face. Within a moment, a silent bullet whizzed through the stadium and went through the head. 

Nicole's father fell like a log, dead. 

The Arena fell silent again.

"Do not bother with him. He is already on his way to hell. If it makes you feel better, he killed my parents." Jiang Yinuo waved a hand casually before looking at the giant clock on a screen with frustration. "Where the hell is she?"

Hu Lei, who was embroiled in battle, felt her nose itch with the irritation of a sneeze. Could someone be missing her?
