Antonio scoffed at this, but it seemed to have soothed him a little, for his furrowed brows began to relax. All of a sudden, something crossed his mind, and he frowned once more. "Why are the men from Soul Reaver Guild the only ones here? Where are the others?"To which Wade quickly replied, "Sir, the rest are already on their way. They were in the Northern District when I called them, which is further away from here, so it's taking them longer to arrive. They'll be here in another half an hour."As for the Allegiant Guild, they are out on a mission and will not be able to make it back to Drunham City in time."Antonio frowned at this. He glanced around him at the sixty or so men, wondering whether their combined forces would take down Liam.Logically speaking, although Liam had single-handedly defeated eight War Kings, he could not possibly overpower six dozen men at the same time! It just was not possible!Antonio was relieved by this, and waved his hand at Wade in dismissal. "I
They were just about to leave when they heard a scuffle from the lobby, followed by the sound of objects breaking and terrified screams. Liam and Sunniva followed the noise back to the hotel lobby, where they witnessed the hotel employees and guests being held hostage by Wade's men. Some of the citizens were sporting bruises and black eyes from their rough manhandling.This infuriated Liam greatly, which propelled him to shout and make his presence known. He could not tolerate anyone picking on innocent civilians! Anyone who had a problem with him should take it out on him, instead of picking on honest, hard-working citizens!A glimmer of malice flashed through Antonio's eyes, and his swollen face twisted into a sneer upon seeing Liam. Wade, on the other hand, felt a chill go down his spine the moment his gaze met that of Liam's. He could practically feel the power crackling through the air. Liam and Sunniva's appearance soon caught everyone's attention. One could hardly resist
Everyone gasped upon hearing this. The members of the Soul Reaver Guild all stood, their jaws slack as they stared at Liam in utter disbelief. They could not believe their ears. What was wrong with this man? Did he have no idea who he was up against?Wade was momentarily astounded, but soon his shock was replaced by sheer fury. He scowled, a fiery rage igniting him as he stared at this daring young man.Before he could even speak, however, one of his subordinates—a bald, burly man—stepped forward to glare at Liam. "Are you out of your mind, you twat? How dare you speak to Mr. Zegler and Wade this way? I'll make you pay for this!"With that, he cracked his knuckles as though preparing for combat. Then, he raised his fist and brought it down straight toward Liam.The next moment, something whipped through the air, glinting ferociously as it sliced through its path. The man froze in his steps, his fist still cocked as though he was about to strike, but the next moment, his entire
Others notwithstanding, just this single display of the Silver Arrow Tactic was enough to make him think twice. This was not an ordinary attack!The entire hotel lobby was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.All of a sudden, an angry scream broke the silence, "You punk! You killed our friend! You'll pay for this!"This seemed to snap everyone out of their horrified stupor and successfully riled up the rest of the gang members. They all fixated their beady little eyes on Liam. Someone else shouted, brandishing his knife, "You twat! This won't go unpunished! I'm going to kill you and avenge my brother!"This was met with grunts and murmurs of agreement. The members of the Soul Reaver Guild all perked up as though instilled with a newfound purpose. They raised their weapons above their heads and advanced toward Liam."Stop!" All of a sudden, Wade, who had been eyeing Liam silently all this while, let out a sharp cry, which made everyone freeze in their steps. Despite having b
"I, Wade Crusoe, am going to teach you a lesson! You're not going to mess with the Soul Reaver Guild and get away with it!"His men all sneered and chanted gleefully, "That's the spirit! Wade, we're going to teach this punk a lesson!""How dare he lay a finger on our brother? He's practically asking for it!""Kill him! Avenge our brother!""This is what cockiness gets you, little punk! By the time we're done with you, you'll be peeing your pants and screaming for your mommy!""Do you know why they call us the Soul Reaver Guild? Because we take souls like how pirates plunder for gold!""Just you wait! No one has ever survived the Almighty Tiger's wrath to tell the tale!""All hail, the Almighty Tiger!""All hail, the Almighty Tiger!"The men all guffawed as they cast Liam looks of deepest scorn. In their opinion, although Liam's Silver Arrow Tactic had indeed been impressive, he was still no match for their great master!Wade secretly agreed as well. Initially, he was momentar
To Wade and everyone else's dismay, Liam dodged this as effortlessly as he did the first. Wade, refusing to admit defeat, hurled attack after attack at Liam, striking from every angle possible in hopes of hitting any weak spot. Wade's every punch was so unpredictable that any ordinary person would have tired out after a few minutes and eventually succumbed to their fate. To their surprise, Liam managed to hold his ground and evade every single one of Wade's blows. Eventually, after what felt like dozens of back and forth combat, even Wade was beginning to tire out. As his energy depleted, his blows came slower and slower. Wade was already out of breath, with beads of sweat clinging to his forehead out of exhaustion, but Liam, on the other hand, looked unfazed, as though he had merely been out for a walk in the park. This infuriated Wade greatly. How was it possible that this man remained unscathed when he himself felt as though he was on the brink of passing out from exhausti
Liam watched as Wade tried desperately to get to his feet but failed miserably. He sneered at this, then stuck a hand in his pocket and sauntered toward his opponent. His every footfall felt like a thunderous drumbeat to Wade, signifying his incoming doom!As alarmed as he was, the most prominent emotion that Wade felt at that moment was shame! He was the leader of the Soul Reaver Guild, and yet he had been defeated and crippled by a young, scrawny-looking man—in front of his subordinates, no less! This was a mortification that he could never possibly live down!By the time Liam reached him, Wade found that he had gathered some of his strength back. He propped himself up onto his arms, trying to regain some of his composure. His mangled face was twisted in a grotesque scowl, and he glared at Liam. "You little twat! I am one of the most feared names in the gangster world, and who would've thought I'd fall into your puny hands?"He gritted his teeth and was about to hoist himself up
"You puny little twat! How dare you attack my brother? I'm going to get you for this!" he bellowed, then whipped a knife out of a nearby gangster's hand and lunged toward Liam."Take this!" he howled as he brought it down toward Liam's head. His broken leg did not seem to hinder his strength or agility at all, for he lunged toward Liam with the ferocity of an angry tiger.Being the head of the Scorpion Gang, Antonio rarely had to step into combat himself when he had throngs of men to do his bidding, but this was different. This time, he had to take matters into his own hands.There was a reason Antonio had become the most feared leader of the Scorpion Gang; he was not one to be messed with, as Liam would surely find out if he did not miss his mark.There was no doubt about it; Liam would be decapitated in an instant!"Careful, Liam!" The blood rushed from Sunniva's face when she saw Antonio pouncing on Liam with the knife, and she could not help crying out. As ferocious as Ant
