Chapter 224 The Final Winner
Kick in the groin, poke in the eye.

These are all low-level, despicable moves in martial arts.

This is a tactic that is absolutely forbidden in combat sports.

But in real combat, there are not so many taboos.

Any means are permitted as long as survival is possible.

In this bloody battle, there are no rules, only life and death.

The girl with the ponytail landed a successful blow, and taking advantage of the moment when the enemy bent over in pain, she picked up the baseball bat that had fallen to the ground and smashed it down on the guy's head.

Like cracking open a watermelon, the death row inmate was instantly ripped open, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

The girl with the ponytail performed exceptionally well, but the other girls were equally impressive.

In the corner, a girl with short red hair also dealt with her enemy.

The movements were swift and decisive, only half a beat behind the former.

But not all girls have the skills in both.

Many girls have also fallen into difficulties.

They were either not skilled enough and were defeated by the enemy.

Or perhaps they couldn't bring themselves to be ruthless at the crucial moment, resulting in being torn apart by the enemy.

Actually, you can't blame them for being soft-hearted.

They simply had never seen such a vast world before.

In previous practical training sessions, participants mostly competed against livestock such as pigs and dogs.

At worst, they could use corpses to hone their courage.

Although they developed a fierce appearance through these methods.

But most of them only learned the basics.

When the girls encountered these truly ferocious death row inmates, they instantly lost their composure.

You can't use 80% of your full potential.

Nature quickly succumbed and became a cold corpse lying on the ground.

The battle continues.

There were not many people left present.

However, the intensity was even greater.

Those who have survived to this day are all exceptionally ruthless individuals, one in a million.

Anyone without real skill would never have been able to persevere until now.

The training ground was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.

Yelena Belova, the girl with the ponytail from before, was leaning against a pillar, catching her breath.

"One left."

His arm was slashed by a long knife, and blood stained the baseball bat in his hand.

Although she suffered some minor injuries, Yelena's overall condition was quite good.

We still have the strength to fight again.

In comparison, the red-haired girl from before had a much worse situation.

His body was covered in wounds, and one of his legs was broken.

In such a dangerous situation, Anya Delevkova's inaction was practically a death sentence.

But she still did not give up hope. With a fierce determination in her heart, she dragged her short leg and charged towards the nearest enemy with a roar like a wild beast.

This maniacal behavior startled even the fierce-looking death row inmate, causing him to slow down slightly.

That moment of hesitation ultimately cost him his life.

By the time he realized what was happening, a knife was already stuck in his chest.

He tried to retaliate, but found his limbs weak and powerless. Then everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Anya, having defeated this enemy, could no longer hold on and also collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, she has completed her mission.

The instructor on the other side immediately stopped a death row inmate who was still trying to fight, picked up the unconscious woman, and casually threw her out of the battle.

In the monitoring room.

Through the large screen, the Red House's top management were watching this fierce battle.

Seeing Anya's performance, the middle-aged man at the head nodded and said with a satisfied expression.

"This Anya is quite a prospect, don't you think, Melina Voskov?"

“You’re right. Anya Delevkova performed quite well. Her ruthlessness and will to survive are extraordinary. She was able to deliver a fatal blow even when seriously injured. She is definitely worth training.” As her subordinate, Melina naturally wouldn’t contradict her superior’s opinion.

Naturally, she would say whatever her superiors told her to say.

At this moment, Yelena on the screen also killed her enemy and completed the mission objective.

The middle-aged man nodded again.

"Yes, Yelena also performed well. It seems that among this batch of trainees, the two of them are the most outstanding."

At this point, he turned around and asked his subordinate beside him.

"Comrade Melina, from your perspective, who do you think will be the ultimate winner between the two of them?"

“I think Anya Drevkova looks better, General Drevkov Alexei.”

After a moment's thought, Melina gave her answer.

Drekoff remained noncommittal in response to her answer.

He was more concerned with why Melina would say that.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"I thought you would favor that little girl Yelena Belova, after all, she is your 'daughter'."

Staring at Melina's face, Drekoff gave a half-smile, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

To his disappointment, Melina showed no sign of distress, maintaining her icy expression and giving a blank reply.

“General, there is no family affection in the Red House. Besides, Yelena and I only went on a mission together once. We are not a real family, and I am not her mother.”

"As for why I have a higher opinion of Anya, it's not because Anya is really stronger than Yelena."

"It's just because Anya is prettier."

Yes.

That's such a superficial reason.

Even becoming Black Widow requires good looks.

Just like the previous winner.

Natasha Romanov's fighting ability may not be the strongest among her peers.

But it was precisely because she was the most beautiful and had the best figure that she was listed as a candidate for Black Widow by the Red House and became the final winner.

Anya is now enjoying the same treatment.

In terms of combat power, Anya is far inferior to Yelena.

Yelena only suffered minor injuries when she completed the mission.

With proper treatment, the wound will heal in just a few days.

But Anya completed the task only after giving it her all.

He even lost a leg in the process.

Even so, she eventually fell into a coma.

The two showed a clear difference in performance.

Based on combat strength, the Red House should probably choose Yelena, who performed better.

However, the criteria for judging the Red House are not like that.

More practical factors were taken into consideration.

Beauty is also a weapon.

The beautiful Anya made it easier for her to get close to the target and successfully complete the assassination mission compared to the ordinary Yelena.

This seems unfair to Yelena.

She was clearly the one who performed better.

But in the real world, where does so much fairness come from?
Faced with the decisions of the leadership, Yelena could only silently accept her fate, whether she agreed or not.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

Before officially becoming Black Widow, Anya still needs to overcome one final hurdle.

She needs to kill Yelena with her own hands, to kill this good friend who grew up with her and stood shoulder to shoulder with her until today.

Only in this way could she be considered to have completed her graduation ceremony.

We can now go outside and carry out real missions.

But if she can't do that, then Drekoff can only apologize to her.

The fiery crematorium was her only final resting place.
