Chapter 278: I Am Going To Kill You

"What gives that despicable woman the right to have something I can’t achieve?"

"Tsk–tsk, Madelyn is just too brazen. How long has she known Coach Wendel? And now, she’s already asking him out? Lindsay, you’ve known Coach Wendel for far longer and even came to work at this combat training center specifically for him. Why doesn’t Coach Wendel treat you the same?” At this point, a female coach next to her was gossiping with a smack of her lips.

Upon hearing those words, Lindsay shot her an irritated glance. “Mind your own business.”

The female coach was rebuked, yet she remained undeterred. “Lindsay, don’t blame me for stating the truth. I’m just feeling indignant on your behalf! Look at you, with your figure and looks, how are you inferior to that girl? Why should she steal all of Coach Wendel’s attention? I think it’s about time you taught her a lesson!”

Lindsay was always jealous of Madelyn. Upon hearing these words, she couldn’t help but feel compelled to do something.

That evening, Madelyn had pushed herself harder than usual, as she hadn’t attended training for several days. She trained until she was completely drained of energy. Only then did she willingly return to the changing room to shower and change. After changing her clothes, she was ready to go out for dinner with Maxton.

Just as she had finished fixing her hair and was about to step out, the dressing room door suddenly burst open. Several women dressed in traditional robes flooded in, their arms crossed over their chests. Their malicious intent was clear as they cornered Madelyn inside.

“You’re Madelyn, right? You don’t look all that impressive.” At that moment, a tall woman stepped forward, looking down at Madelyn in a condescending manner.

The women around her burst into laughter, their tones laced with jealousy. “Does this little girl really think she can attract Coach Wendel’s interest? I’m afraid she doesn’t realize she’s out of his league!”

“Exactly, exactly…”

Madelyn looked at the hostile women before her, her expression somewhat displeased. She remembered these female students. Some of them had previously represented the combat training center in competitions, even securing gold and silver medals from the city. It could be said that their skills surpassed Madelyn’s.

However, Madelyn wasn’t scared; she was just somewhat confused, as she didn’t have any grudges or disputes with them. We usually stay out of each other’s way, so why are they ganging up against me now?

With this in mind, Madelyn confronted them. “What are you guys trying to accomplish by cornering me here?”

A few female students chuckled, their faces full of disdain. “What do you think we’re trying to do? Obviously, we’re here to serve justice.”

“I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. I really can’t grasp what you all mean by 'justice'," Madelyn said.

A tall female student suddenly pushed her in anger. “Stop pretending already! You know what you’ve done, don’t you? Fine, if you want to play dumb, I won’t bother beating around the bush. You’ve been using your looks to seduce Coach Wendel all this time. Don’t think we’re oblivious to it!”

“Exactly, from my perspective, you’re nothing special at all. What gives you the right to have feelings for Coach Wendel? I think you’re just a slut and need to be taught a lesson!” the female student next to her berated.

Madelyn was at a loss for words. “You’ve got it all wrong. Coach Wendel and I simply have a student-teacher relationship. It’s not as complicated as you’re making it out to be.”

“Bullsh*t! If it’s as simple as that, why would Coach Wendel go out with you alone? He never accepts our invitations!” another female student blurted out.

“It seems necessary to teach you a lesson today,” the tall girl said, “so you’ll never dare to mess with Coach Wendel again!”

Next, the girls charged forward in a coordinated manner, their fists swinging. Madelyn didn’t expect them to show any hesitation in beating her up. They had even acted without warning. Thus, she had no choice but to dodge their attacks deftly.

The women were clearly taken aback by her ability to avoid their first attack. Their immediate response was a cry of anger as they launched another one.

Oh no!

Madelyn was suddenly taken aback. She knew all too well that no matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t possibly take on a crowd, especially considering that these women were mostly more skilled than her. She was certain that in no time, she would be defeated by them.

In her desperation, Madelyn was suddenly struck with an idea. She fixed her gaze on the dressing room’s exit and ran toward it. In the end, a female student lunged forward, promptly shutting the door and locking it. She then smugly declared, “Hmph, let’s see where you can escape now!”

I’m done for…

Madelyn stared intently at the women before her, her gaze heavy with exasperation.

Damn, what’s their problem? Who on earth did I provoke? I never had any interaction with them. For them to suddenly decide to cause trouble for me is just outrageous!

“Ladies, stop wasting time. Get her!” At that moment, the tall girl gave the command, and the women behind her immediately brandished their fists and charged forward.

However, Madelyn was by no means a pushover.

Madelyn watched as several figures closed in on her. Deciding to take a stand, she forcefully knocked over a nearby clothes rack toward them. Simultaneously, her eyes darted around, quickly scanning the surroundings in the hope of finding some sort of weapon.

In the end, no weapon was to be found. All Madelyn discovered was a fire extinguisher. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to throw caution to the wind. Picking it up, she began to spray wildly in all directions.

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much…” The lime dust blew into their eyes, causing unbearable pain. Immediately, a chorus of cries erupted from the women, each of them clutching their eyes, unable to open them.

Upon seeing the effectiveness of her tactic, Madelyn redoubled her efforts. “You wanted to teach me a lesson, didn’t you? Well, come on then. I’m not scared of you!”

The girls were suffering from eye pain so much that they didn’t dare to approach.

However, Madelyn didn’t fare much better than them. A sudden, piercing pain shot through her arm, as if all the tendons and veins within it had been displaced.

If my guess is correct, it must have been dislocated.

Meanwhile, Maxton had already been waiting outside for nearly half an hour. Seeing that Madelyn hadn’t come out yet, he felt an inexplicable sense of worry and decided to go back in to check on her.

As soon as he approached the entrance of the women’s changing room, it sounded as if all hell had broken loose inside. The piercing screams of women painted a scene of utter chaos.

One of the women was particularly enraged; she bellowed, “Madelyn, you b*tch! Do you have a death wish? How dare you spray me with a fire extinguisher. I swear I’ll make you pay!”

A jolt ran through Maxton’s heart. Without a second thought, he kicked open the door of the changing room. As a result, a burst of white carbon dioxide smoke instantly hit his face.

Once his vision had cleared, Maxton was finally able to make out the situation inside.

At that very moment, Madelyn found herself cornered against the wall, being bombarded with punches and kicks by several girls.
