“Nine just managed to avoid the blow, but he was too slow to dodge the right cross that followed. It clipped his jaw, stunning him for a second or two. If it had landed flush, it would have knocked him out cold.That first exchange reminded Nine how deadly Teleoites was. The brainchild of their mentor, Tommy Kentbridge, it was a mix of all the martial arts – ju-jitsu, karate, boxing and judo included. His expertise in Teleoites had saved his life more than once, and had ended the life of at least... half a dozen assailants during his operational years.Nine didn’t wait for Three to come at him again. He took the initiative and launched himself at his opposite, hurting him with a swinging elbow that connected above Three’s eye and caused a nasty gash.

Three was forced to back-peddle to avoid the blows.MoreLessRead More Read Less
