He just reacted a little faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, just look around! Who can even compare to Captain Grant’s Superpower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget just the Fire Element—even if you combine all the elements, no one can beat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Captain Pearson is just jealous. They’re both Fire Element Superpower Users, so when he can’t measure up, he just nitpicks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut your filthy mouths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s easy for you to talk since you weren’t the ones used as a zombie shield, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Captain Pearson hadn’t arrived in time, that team member would have been killed by his own ally, right before his eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did that team member do to deserve that? He’s taken part in dozens of rescue missions, big and small!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He could die in battle, or he could die saving someone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but he absolutely should not die being forced to take a hit for someone else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Leo Hale’s voice, and he sounded furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs, at least, had never heard him so angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Captain Grant you’re all defending is just a petty coward who’s afraid of dying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>can’t you all see that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Chelsea Walsh’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides were still arguing, and it was getting heated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed Nina Jacobs standing at the back of the crowd of onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina had thought something interesting was happening, but then she saw Liam Grant in the center of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I take full responsibility for my actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Supervisor Holden said we can settle this with a match, I have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Liam Grant looked at Chester Pearson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Pearson, you don’t have to target me at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s just fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The way you say that, it’s as if I’m deliberately trying to pick a fight with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holt Tate has been with me for so long. I have to see justice done for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson still had a nonchalant tone, but it seemed to take a great deal of effort just to stand up from his wheelchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Pearson, how can you fight him in your condition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your injuries haven’t even healed yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell Abbott was frantic, and many others in the crowd also tried to dissuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Supervisor Holden, Captain Pearson is injured. How could he possibly win a match?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hale stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea Walsh was still fuming when she felt someone appear beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice made her turn her head in pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea Walsh covered her mouth and excitedly hugged Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re back safely! We were worried sick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea Walsh began to explain in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few days ago, when Captain Pearson’s team was out gathering supplies, they ran into Liam Grant’s squad. And to make matters worse, they’d attracted a horde of zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were fighting the zombies, that scumbag Grant actually grabbed Holt Tate and used him as a shield. Luckily, Captain Pearson noticed in time and saved Holt, but his own leg was injured in the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Pearson just wants to get justice for Holt, so he proposed that Liam Grant be stripped of his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that Supervisor Holden, along with Dawn Donovan and the others, insisted Liam Grant was innocent, so the whole thing blew up and got out of hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chelsea’s brief explanation, Nina Jacobs understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key issue now is that Captain Pearson is injured. Otherwise, he wouldn’t necessarily lose to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Liam Grant really that strong now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess so. Anyway, the rumor everywhere is that he’s the number one fighter in the shelter or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard from Uncle Hale that because of those rumors, even Justin Lawson thinks highly of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea Walsh looked worriedly toward the center of the crowd, where Chester Pearson was still insisting on competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a contest of Superpowers, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My leg is just broken. Who knows, maybe I can beat you into submission while sitting down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Pearson, let me teach you something. A Superpower User’s power and their physical stamina are inseparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just having a Superpower isn’t enough. Is that what you usually teach the people under you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Grant sounded as if he were giving earnest advice, but his tone was dripping with mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people in the surrounding crowd started to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense! That’s not how Captain Pearson teaches us at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team member spoke up indignantly on Chester Pearson’s behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like you’ve learned a lot. Why don’t you have a match with our Captain Grant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I see, your Captain Grant isn’t all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking on an injured man... you’re not worried you can’t actually beat him, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Leo Hale and Daniel Hale looked over, pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina Jacobs, you’re back?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale immediately felt that they might have a chance to turn things around now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know about anyone else, but when it came to Nina Jacobs, he always had a strange sense of trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina Jacobs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Grant hadn’t expected Nina Jacobs to show up at this moment either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intel his men had gathered was that Nina had left to lie low because of that incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never thought she would actually come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young lady is so eager to defend Captain Pearson,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"don’t tell me you want to fight in his place too? Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheldon Holden didn’t recognize Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ordinary-looking whip in her hand, he just thought she was here to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t care about the issue between you all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just want to see for myself what our shelter’s number one fighter is made of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina Jacobs, do you know what you’re saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Grant’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Nina Jacobs had awakened a Fire Element Superpower in this life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was someone who had possessed a Fire Element Superpower in two lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Renee Strong had said Nina was just trying to get his attention. He hadn’t believed it then, but now he had no choice but to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how would Nina dare to say something so provocative to him in front of everyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, Captain Grant. Even if I can’t win, I won’t just randomly pull someone in front of me to take a hit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina’s words plunged the scene into a momentary silence, which was then broken by a burst of roaring laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea Walsh even laughed until she cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, my gut tells me you’ve got this in the bag today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherry Renner shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t been taking a side, since she had only arrived at the shelter a few days ago and didn’t know who Liam Grant was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Nina Jacobs was back, she had to pick a side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are we waiting for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s make this quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let me make it clear, this is just a match between you two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one is to be fatally wounded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheldon Holden didn’t want this incident to further tarnish Liam Grant’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word got out that Liam Grant killed a woman, it would be really difficult for him to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Grant nodded and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina Jacobs, since we’re old acquaintances, I’ll let you have the first three moves today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I don’t take handouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs’s lips curled into a smile as she provocatively beckoned to Liam Grant with her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You’re the one forcing my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Liam Grant launched his attack on Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a fist wreathed in flames, its power not to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around them all broke into a cold sweat for Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when everyone thought Nina was frozen in fear, she simply sidestepped slightly, seemingly dodging the attack with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an expert could tell that it was definitely not a move one could dodge easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Grant’s attack hit nothing but air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to continue his attack on Nina, who was now beside him, she had already closed the distance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elbow strike landed on his waist, the force so painful that tears almost sprang from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he held it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young lady is no simple character!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, inside the shelter, a stocky, middle-aged man with a booming voice was watching the scene and remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin Lawson didn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only heard about Nina Jacobs from Ian Chandler before. He also knew she was Daniel Hale’s stepdaughter, but he never expected her to be so bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, even the battle-hardened Samson Thorne was singing her praises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s watch a little longer.
