章 240: Chapter 240: Hunters, Part 23, Seven Years Ago

…. and then her opponent comes bullying in, her face a mask of anger. She barrels into Jenny, punching hard as she goes, landing one, two, three blows on the taller girl before Jenny backs up to get her distance, then flings in one punch after another, up and over Monica’s defence, then down and under.

Monica charges in close, striking hard into already sore ribs. Jenny grunts as she dances back and around, striking out and scoring on the shoulder, then again, this time catching her opponent in the face.

Roaring as she surges in again, Monica drips blood from her nose. It trickles down her face, then sprays as Jenny’s glove connects. There’s fury in her eyes and once more she aims for the bruised ribs. The referee is behind them, his line of sight broken for just a moment, and in that second, Monica punches low, catching Jenny in the gut.
