The Ancient Genes

Chapter 608: Max vs Naze

"Well then, I will be taking my leave. See you later, Boss!" Naze saluted Max as he turned around to leave.

"Where in hell do you think you are going? Stop right there!" Max immediately caught a hold of him.

"What the hell are we going to do about the situation?" He further added with a frown while looking at Naze.

If Eren had thought of this guy as Axel, then it definitely meant that he was now aware about this impostor roaming around. If this news went to Axel, and then Max could imagine the first thought in his head.

"It's better if you go ahead and meet Axel, before he finds the truth from somewhere else."

"How many times do we need to talk about the same thing?" Naze shook his head, with a calm look on his face.

"This time is last; you are coming with me.." Max looked at him with a serious look on his face.

"No, I am not..: Naze shook his head.

"Do you want me to kick you out of the operations?" Max folded his arm with a smug face. He was not a fool, he knew that this guy was up to something. And, being involved in this operation was a part of that process as well.

And, as expected, Naze's face turned gloomy on hearing that.

"You are making it tough for everyone, Boss." Naze had a bitter smile on his face, he knew he was trapped. "I don't think you should take advantage of your position. It wouldn't end well if I meet you some other day, and you are not my boss any longer.

"I would be more than happy in such a situation. You are one underling which no one would want. As for how it would end, only time would say." Max shook his head with a laugh.

"How about we find it now, with a little bet?" Naze asked with a cocky grin on his face.

"That grin really is the same among you two brothers. Makes me want to beat the sh*t out of you every time I see it." Max sighed. And, raised his hand while beckoning him to come at him.

He really wanted to see if this guy had the ability to stand in front of him with that cocky face of his.

Naze looked at Max, and shook his head as he slid his feet onto the ground as if drawing a little arc before lifting his palms up. It was a weird stance, but he seemed to be confident.

"No energy attacks.." Max stated.

"No weapons…" Naze replied. "And, the first one to land a blow on the face will win, and the other party will have to accept his decision on this topic."

"Sounds good to me." Max smiled before entering into his battle stance as well. It wasn't anything fancy. It was just him with his hands raised a slight bit into the air.

"Whoosh!"

Naze moved with his upper body lowered a bit, and Max's face immediately turned serious when the guy appeared right in front of him as if he had teleported. He was definitely much faster than Max had expected him to be.

A smile hung on Naze's face; he was sure to have caught Max off guard. Without a second of delay, he immediately thrusted his palm upwards aiming right for Max's face. At this close range, it was pretty impossible for normal Mages to react.

But, Max was not normal.

His head immediately tilted sideward, and Naze's palm slid through the side of his head blasting a strong gust of wind which made his hairs flutter.

Naze didn't even need to see, he already knew Max's fist was coming crashing down on him in counter. The pressure which the guy in front of him was releasing could definitely said to be terrifying.

In the end, he pushed his feet harder into the ground, and switched his body from the position of having missed a punch to that of a tackle. It wasn't perfect, but definitely enough to save himself from a black eye.

"Bang!"

He latched onto Max, lifted one his feet into the air while grabbed his shoulder with another hand and pushed him to the ground.

But, Max wasn't a noob, and his hand changed position as well. And, he smashed his elbow on Naze's back while his other hand held onto his neck as he pinned the guy onto that position.

Max definitely turned out to be stronger than Naze had thought, that was even after he had overestimated his strength according to his previous analysis.

But that didn't mean he was weak. He tightly grabbed both of his hands around him, and got himself into a squatting position even as Max continued his barrage of attacks on his back.

And, then with the push of his feet, he lifted him high up into the air before smashing his body into the wall beside.

"Boom!"

The fight without the use of mana and weapon was nothing, but a street fight between thugs. And for some reason the place they were fighting around was a perfect fit for such fights.

Max didn't let go of Naze's neck, and the moment he got a chance, he immediately tried to slam his knee into his face.

"Bang!"

"You really are stubborn aren't you?" Max asked with a smile, as he tried to push his knee harder into his face. But, Naze had blocked it with one of his palms.

"I shouldn't have let you catch me," Naze said with difficulty, and Max smiled.

But, the very next moment, he made a move. And, it ceased the smile on Max's face.

His free hand caught onto Max's shirt and pulled him in while he lifted his right leg from behind, making it go over his back and it struck towards Max's face in an very difficult maneuver.

That was something only highly flexible people could do.

"Crash!"

The sturdy wall broke as Max crashed into it.

Naze finally raised his upper body after being freed, and put his hands onto his neck in pain. He then revolved it around a bit before finally looking towards the hole in the wall where Max had flown into.
