Even the deputy mayors, Caleb and Lou, were there. Since they were government officials, their identities were rather sensitive. Therefore, to stay inconspicuous, they put on disguises and kept a low profile. Caleb nudged Bernard, who was sitting beside him. “Mr. Vikrom, do you think Mr. Lee will win?” Bernard, Peter, and Jack were all in casts. Due to their injuries, their arrival attracted quite a lot of attention. They were hurt last night but they insisted on attending the match. It seemed like the three of them were really supportive of Kaze and wanted him to win. “Mr. Lee can win, right?” Bernard sounded unsure. He knew Kaze’s real identity but the God of War acted like a commander on the battlefield more than a fighter. The death match was something entirely different than fighting enemies on the battlefield. However, they had hopes for Kaze. They wanted Kaze to avenge them and get rid of Gareth. If Kaze lost, being Kaze’s avid supporters, Gareth would ce
It was strange for government officials to attend the match, let alone the two deputy mayors. Caleb and Lou were caught off guard by the sudden attention on themselves. They did not expect Gareth to call them out in front of the audience. It seemed like Gareth’s men had already noticed them when they entered. Was it an exertion of dominance? Caleb took a deep breath and got up. He said, “Grandmaster Hornberg, this kind of underground deathmatch is illegal. The city council believes this match should be a friendly spar. I hope you can hold back a little.” Now that his identity was exposed, the only thing he could do was try to deter Gareth and prevent him from causing more trouble. Unfortunately, Caleb was wrong because Gareth never took him seriously. “Deputy Mayor Leed, are you begging for that useless punk?” Gareth laughed. His laughter ceased all of a sudden and he said coldly, “You two are not powerful enough to tell me what to do, tell your mayor to talk to me
Gareth openly called out to the mayor of Lilyrose and said there was no one in the city who could oppose him. He looked down not only on the mayor but also on the entire city. Unfortunately, no one had the power or the guts to challenge him with actual actions. Some of the local Lilyroseans started to root for Kaze, hoping that he could defeat Gareth. Winning the match would certainly make Lilyrose proud. However, Kaze has yet to appear. Gareth frowned. “Where is Kaze Lee?” Everyone looked around but did not spot Kaze anywhere. “Hahah! That useless bastard is afraid! He’s a no-show!” “I think he used tricks to defeat the four titans, not his own fists!” “He’s just a clown with a loud voice. When he has to fight with his fists, he chickens out!” Dakota and his fellow investors continued to mock Kaze. The Lyfe family members cackled as well. They knew about Gareth’s backup plan and that Kaze would certainly appear. Gareth was simply shouting to undermine the c
Everyone was shocked and suspicious when they heard Kaze accusing Gareth of being a liar. Syed was the first to speak up, saying, “You little bastard! How dare you call Grandmaster Hornberg a liar in front of so many people?” “Yeah! He is the grandmaster of the martial arts world, unlike you, a useless guy who does nothing good!” The other family members mocked Kaze instantly. Gareth a liar? Impossible. They would never believe Kaze. They could not believe Kaze, for if they did, their entire family would be finished. Kaze looked at Gareth, who reacted bitterly to his claims. He smiled and said, “I didn’t say he is not the grandmaster but anyone can be one if they throw enough money. If you know, you know.” The entire room was silenced once again. “Kaze Lee! Shut your mouth! Stop accusing our master!” “Believe me if I say I can beat you to death!” “You cheap ass!” Gareth’s disciples lost their cool and shouted at Kaze. Kaze simply smiled at their threats. “If y
“W-Where am I?” Darcy blinked as she tried to regain her vision. The first thing she saw was a pair of blurry figures further away, seemingly talking to each other. Her vision remained blurry and she could not get a clear look at their faces. The coldness attacked her body from the floor, giving her chills. A bad feeling rose in her heart. Darcy tried to recall what happened but her head suddenly hurt badly. She groaned in pain and could not remember exactly what happened. The last thing she remembered was going to her grandfather’s place with her parents. “Oh, the girl is up.” The two men smoking and chatting further away turned around when they heard the painful groans. The two of them were obviously foreigners and they looked hostile. One of them had a large scar on his bearded face, making him look ferocious. The man stared at Darcy viciously. After a few glances, he took the bottle of whiskey and had a few gulps. The alcohol made his face red. He loosen
Darcy was furious. Earlier when she arrived at her grandfather’s place, the whole family welcomed her and her parents with open arms, especially Deborah. Deborah apologized sincerely and even invited Darcy to have a facial treatment with her. Blood was thicker than water. Darcy’s heart grew soft. Since they were all family, she wanted to let the bygones be bygones. She accepted the invitation and went out with Deborah. Little did she know, she once again stepped into Deborah’s trap. Deborah went up to Darcy and stared at her coldly. “Darcy, how dare you say that in my face? Do you know how much I’ve been through while I was taken away? It was all because of you and that stupid husband!” Back at Mountain Dew Estate, Deborah ordered someone to drug Darcy but her evil plan backfired on her, causing her to be raped by three stinky thugs for the entire night. She tried to accuse Darcy but she was arrested. On top of that, she lost her reputation and status. The entire
Darcy went to her grandfather's place and Conan had men protecting her secretly. Even now, Conan did not receive any unusual reports. How did Darcy end up in Gareth’s possession? Kaze had a glance at Conan, who looked calm and confident, somewhat ignorant. He sighed and went into the ring. Since Darcy had gotten involved, whether the picture was false or Gareth was trying to blackmail him, Kaze would never dare to take the risk. He stepped into the ring and toned down his intense aura. He reverted to his usual demeanor but his expression remained cold. “Gareth Hornberg, you’ve crossed the line. You really went the extra mile to secure your goal. I don’t care about the result of this fight. If you want to win, I’ll let you win, but you shouldn’t have used my wife against me just so you can save face. “The consequences of making me mad are extremely severe.” Kaze stood in front of Gareth in the ring, warning him. Since the ring was quite a distance from the audience,
“Grandmaster Hornberg, is this the legendary Cotton Palm?” Looking at the grin on Kaze’s face, Gareth got furious. He further pushed his palm into Kaze’s chest. Kaze simply stood still and allowed the man to hit him. There was no way a palm strike, as soft as cotton, could hurt him. It was just slightly stronger than a tickle. However, because of the picture of Darcy being held captive, Kaze played along and took a few steps back and even feigned a painful look. “Huh!?” The scene left everyone in awe. The crowd cheered and grew tumultuous. Since Kaze crippled the four titans, they thought Kaze was able to last more than a few rounds or a dozen moves in the ring. Even if he lost then, the crowd would be more accepting of the outcome. To everyone’s surprise, Kaze could not even take one attack from Gareth. “Kaze Lee is weak! Did he really cripple the four titans?” “It’s not that Kaze Lee is weak, it’s Grandmaster Hornberg! He’s too powerful! This is how experts figh
