Chapter 426 Fight to Prove

Talia's frustration flared again.

Mark and the others insisted she was here to 'pad her resume.

Fine! I'll show them all! I'll give it everything I've got in this fight. Even if I lose, I'll lose with dignity!

Soon, 50 soldiers from the War Wolf Special Forces arrived at the combat training arena. Word had spread that the new recruit, Talia, was challenging the 4 elite fighters, and everyone was excitedly buzzing,

As Talia stepped into the combat training arena, she stood tall and poised in the center of the platform.

Her beauty and commanding presence instantly drew attention, with the soldiers whistling and shouting in appreciation.

Since the formation of War Wolf, Talia was only the second female member to join, the first being Freya

Talia pointed at Mark and the others. "Which one of you is stepping up first?"

Before Mark could speak, Robin's indifferent voice cut through the air. "Let all four of them come at once."

"Huh?" Talia was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She turned to Robin's emotionless face, a deep line of frustration crossing her mind.

This b*stard is doing this on purpose!

I couldn't beat one of them, and now you want them to all gang up on me?

I seriously suspect this guy is trying to embarrass me!

But now that I'm already here, backing out is not an option.

Alright then, let's do this!

Robin eyed Talia, noticing her hesitation. "Are you scared? If you're scared, admit defeat."

"Who's scared?! Four against one? Fine, I'll take it!" Talia shouted, planting herself in front of the ring.

The atmosphere in the combat training arena was electric, with dozens of War Wolf Special Forces soldiers once again jeering and shouting in excitement They cheered for Mark and his team, their voices filled with energy.

"Mark! Lieutenant Langdon!"

After a loud wave of cheers, Mark gestured for them to quiet down.

"Four against one? We can't afford to lose face here! Ms Cross, I could knock you down with just one arm and a single move!"

Talia's body trembled with anger, her fists clenched. "Then bring it on, all four of you!

Mark waved dismissively. "Enough, no need to act tough. No matter how trashy we are, we're not going to gang up on a woman!"

Talia sneered. "So, you're saying you'll fight me alone?"

"Yes, four of us going after one woman? Are we even human if we do that?" Mark shook his head disdainfully at the soldiers watching from the sidelines, "Fine. Let's get started. Don't come crying to me afterward!" Talia shot back, determined to face him head-

The soldiers cheered again, their excitement rising to a fever pitch.

Talia assumed her stance but could feel the tension building up inside her. She kept moving, shifting her posture, but couldn't make the first move. Though she tried to mask it, she knew her own strength. She was far from Mark's level

But even if she couldn't win, she would still fight with everything she had-if she had to fall, she would fall honorably!

Mark, seeing her hesitation, chuckled. "What are you doing, just posing? Are you trying to get your picture taken, Colonel Cross?"

He grinned as he watched her, taunting, "I can see it-you're scared. Let me tell you, the worst thing in a fight is fear.

"Look at her legs shaking! If you're scared, admit defeat!"

"Ha!" Talia's face flushed with fury, and with a shout, she lunged forward, ready to charge at him.

Robin slapped Talia's shoulder, his voice calm but commanding, "Keep your right arm straight!"

Before Talia could process the command, her body was launched forward with unstoppable force.

Her mind focused only on stretching her arm out as instructed.

Her pose resembled an influential, steel-like figure in the air, her right fist tightly clenched, aimed directly at Mark's neck.

Mark, still sneering and underestimating her, didn't see it coming.

In an instant, Talia's fist collided with his neck with a loud, muffled thud.

Boom! The sound echoed through the gym.

Mark staggered, his eyes wide in shock, and then he crumpled to the ground, unable to get up.

Talia's punch landed squarely on his carotid artery, sending him reeling.

Mark rolled his eyes a couple of times, then passed out cold.

The entire arena fell into a stunned silence.

Talia stood frozen in place, staring at her clenched fist, then at Mark, who lay motionless on the ground.

Nervously, she whispered, "Did I kill him?"

Zephyr and the others quickly rushed over to Mark.

"He's breathing. He's not dead," they reassured her.

They began patting Mark's back, and after a few coughs, he groggily came to. "What happened? Are we starting the match or what?" Zephyr shook his head. "Starting? You've already been knocked out, buddy."

"Boss, you just got knocked out by Colonel Cross."

Still holding his sore neck, Mark grumbled in defiance, "That doesn't count! She attacked me while I wasn't ready!"

At this moment, Talia was still in a daze, looking at her fist in disbelief. "Hey, I won! I actually won! Haha."

She quickly ran over to Robin, clenching her fist in triumph. "How's that? I knocked him down with one punch!" Robin nodded with a faint smile. "Hmm, good. Keep it up!"

Meanwhile, Mark had managed to stand up, pointing angrily at Talia. "That doesn't count! I was careless just now!" The crowd erupted in laughter.

"Mark, you're embarrassing yourself! Get off the stage! There's no time for 'carelessness' on the battlefield -next!" Zephyr and the others approached with grim expressions. "Mark, step aside. We can't afford to lose more face." With a sigh, Zephyr stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. "I'll take it from here!"

Unlike Mark, Zephyr wasn't going to underestimate his opponent. He took a deep breath, getting himself mentally prepared for the fight. Talia, on the other hand, stood tall and more confident than ever. She could feel the energy in her veins- it would be different this time. Before Zephyr could even get into position, she stepped up and went for a high kick.

Zephyr caught her foot and tossed it back, throwing her off balance.

She stumbled, nearly falling, until Robin gently pushed her from behind, helping her steady herself.

"Huh? What's going on?" Talia felt like her skills were as unpredictable as a switch-one moment solid, the next all over the place.

Just then, Zephyr charged at her like a tiger, fists ready to strike.

His speed was no joke-precisely what you'd expect from one of War Wolf's elite.

Talia's mind raced, realizing there was no way she'd be able to dodge in time. This might be int
