Chapter 423 - Power

"Mr. Zane, I feel a strange sensation in my body right now." 

The Scarlet Witch looked at Zane seriously and spoke. When Zane heard this, he thought it was some kind of hint from her, and his expression immediately turned gleeful. 

"Beautiful lady, I feel the same way about my body right now. Why do you think that is? Why are we sharing this sensation?" 

Zane replied in a sleazy tone, though the feeling he was referring to was entirely different from what the Scarlet Witch meant. 

"Mr. Zane, I feel like my blood has been boiling recently. I don't know what's causing this. Have you experienced anything like it?" 

The Scarlet Witch looked at Zane with a puzzled expression, voicing her genuine feelings. She was deeply confused by this sensation. 

"Absolutely! I feel it too. It's as if my blood is boiling, ready to erupt, like a volcano about to explode!" 

Zane said excitedly, believing their conversation had reached a tipping point. He thought that once this point was crossed, the two of them could indulge in passionate fun. 

"Mr. Zane, I've noticed that my strength has increased significantly during this time. I don't know why this is happening or why my power has grown so much." 

The Scarlet Witch said seriously, but as soon as she finished, she noticed Zane's hand reaching toward a sensitive area. This infuriated her, as she felt he was taking advantage of her. 

"Mr. Zane, what do you think you're doing?" 

The Scarlet Witch angrily questioned him. She couldn't believe Zane would stoop to such behavior, trying to take liberties with her. It was something she found utterly unacceptable. 

"Heh heh heh, beautiful lady, I'm just doing what you want!" 

Zane chuckled shamelessly, showing no restraint. He misunderstood her anger, thinking she wanted the same thing. His hand grew even more audacious, attempting to take further advantage, which was entirely intolerable to the Scarlet Witch.

Zane, that shameless scoundrel, clearly has ulterior motives. Everyone knows what he's trying to do, and his behavior is absolutely unacceptable. 

The Scarlet Witch, upon seeing Zane's actions, was livid. That bastard must have misunderstood her intentions, behaving so disgracefully toward her. It was something she simply could not tolerate. 

"Mr. Zane, show some respect!" 

The Scarlet Witch snapped, lifting Zane's hand away while her face bore a stern expression. She genuinely seemed angry. 

"Hahaha, beautiful lady, I'm being serious already! How much more serious do you want me to be?" 

Zane, still wearing his shameless grin, retorted brazenly. His attitude was truly infuriating. 

"Mr. Zane, let me warn you: don't even think about trying anything funny. If you dare, don't blame me for being ruthless. I won't hold back against you." 

The Scarlet Witch spoke coldly, her expression icy. She looked genuinely furious. 

"Hahaha, and how exactly will you deal with me? Go ahead, tell me. Do whatever you want; I won't even bat an eye." 

Zane remained as shameless as ever, his demeanor exasperating. It was hard to believe anyone could be this shameless. Zane's actions were utterly revolting. 

"You brought this upon yourself, Zane. Don't blame me for what happens next!" 

The Scarlet Witch huffed and raised her foot, aiming a kick at Zane. 

Seeing her movement, Zane tried to lift his leg to block the kick. But to his shock, the moment her foot connected with his leg, he felt a massive surge of force. The sheer power of it sent him flying. 

As Zane felt the overwhelming impact, he was both stunned and pained. He couldn't comprehend what had just happened. 

"How is this possible? What just happened?"

Zane muttered to himself, feeling an unparalleled sense of frustration. He couldn't believe what had just happened—he had been sent flying by a single kick from the Scarlet Witch. The situation left him utterly exasperated. 

The Scarlet Witch, seeing Zane sprawled after her kick, felt a little embarrassed. After all, Zane had saved her life, and treating him this way didn't sit well with her. 

"Mr. Zane, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to treat you like this, but you went too far trying to take advantage of me. You left me no choice!" 

The Scarlet Witch spoke with a mix of regret and resolve. She hadn't wanted things to escalate this way, but Zane needed a harsh lesson to understand boundaries. 

Zane, on the other hand, felt deeply aggrieved. Coming to the Scarlet Witch's home, he'd intended to indulge in some shameless fun, only to be sent flying by her kick. It was something he couldn't accept. 

"Miss Scarlet Witch, I just wanted to have some fun and meaningful conversation with you, but you've ruined it. This really makes me unhappy!" 

Zane said coldly, his face displaying a mixture of shock and indignation. He thought her actions were overly harsh, which he found unacceptable. 

"Mr. Zane, I'm sorry. I just wanted to spar with you. Over the past few days, I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my strength, and I wanted to test it against you to see how far I've progressed!" 

The Scarlet Witch explained seriously before charging at Zane. Seeing her sudden move, Zane realized she wasn't joking—she genuinely wanted to fight. If she wanted a battle, then he was more than ready to give it to her. 

"Alright, beautiful lady. If you're so eager to challenge me, don't blame me for fighting back. Bring it on!" 

Zane replied icily before darting toward her at an incredible speed. He was curious to see just how much the Scarlet Witch's strength had improved. 

The two collided like missiles, their speed and power creating a violent shockwave. The clash generated such intense energy that the ground beneath them trembled. 

Zane was well-acquainted with the Scarlet Witch's strength and usually had no trouble handling her. However, after this encounter, his brow furrowed. He could feel that her power had at least doubled, leaving him puzzled and uneasy. 

"How is this possible? How could your strength have grown so drastically?" 

Zane furrowed his brows and spoke seriously. He couldn't accept this reality—the Scarlet Witch's power had grown to a level where she could nearly match him. The revelation left him deeply surprised. 

"I'm not entirely sure myself. All I know is that my strength has undergone a tremendous transformation recently, and I need someone to spar with to test it out. My apologies, Mr. Zane." 

The Scarlet Witch said gravely, then charged toward Zane at an incredible speed. Her goal was clear: to measure how much her strength had increased by challenging him.
