They looked at Harry again, and he half-smiled as he said, "I gathered everyone here today to announce that Mr. Carson is dead. I will be in charge of the Ninth Mountain as Mr. Lambert of Steinberg!"The moment he finished, the underlings of the Ninth Mountain began chorusing his name loudly."Mr. Lambert!"Harry stretched out his arms, thoroughly enjoying the moment.He felt as if he was flying high, and it felt intoxicating to have this kind of authority in his hands!He waved his hand, and his underlings stopped shouting at once. He swept a cold gaze over the crowd and said, "Does anyone have a problem with this?"Felix, Tristan, Dominic and the rest all exchanged glances. Then they looked at Hans, whose eyes were closed as if he was resting."Since no one has any objection, I'll announce the next thing." Harry put his hands behind his back and said importantly."Hurry up!" Felix yelled.Harry looked threateningly at Felix and said coldly, "Tonight, a boxing match will be h
Gerald stood in the ring and said coldly, "You're not worthy of knowing who I am. I'll give you one chance. Give up your territory and submit to me! Otherwise, you die!"Felix's heart dropped to his stomach. He looked at the man next to him and said, "Titus Kart! It's up to you now!"Titus got up. He stared grimly at Gerald, who was in the ring, and said coldly, "I'll fight you!"Gerald laughed slightly and said, "You're no match for me.""You'll know whether I am or not after we fight!" Titus barked. His footsteps thumped across the floor, and he jumped into the ring.The force of his footsteps left a trail of cracks on the floor. Titus stood in the ring and stared intently at Gerald, who stood opposite him. He didn't know why, but he could feel a heavy pressure coming from Gerald. It was something that Titus had never felt before!"After you." Titus bowed. Gerald stood with his hands behind his back and said disdainfully, "I don't even need to touch you to kill you.""You'
Hans was incredibly moved. "Mr. Zimmer…" he murmured.Joseph flashed a small smile and straightened his posture before he made his way up the stage. He had an air of resoluteness to him that made him look a decade younger than he was."Mr. Wagner, I wasn't able to help you out the last time you had a duel. This time, I will help you by buying time for Dr. Ballard!" Joseph declared with a determined tone.Gerald, who was standing in the ring, scowled slightly as he watched Joseph. He then chuckled before he said, "Since you are an Inner Strength Master, I acknowledge that you have some level of capability. However, it's a shame that you seem to be hurt."Gerald then declared coolly, "If you fight me, you will die."Joseph had already made his way onto the stage by that point, and he stood before Gerald with his hands behind his back.With his posture and silent determination, he looked refined and powerful."Death is nothing to be afraid of. To be honest, I've always wanted to
"Why would someone so powerful go overseas?" someone asked in confusion.Tristan pondered the question silently before, and his expression was one of terror as he replied, "Malcolm was a vicious and cunning man who had no qualms about committing crimes. He was incredibly powerful back then and reigned terror over Jerose."He paused before continuing, "In the end, only Benedict Ziegler from the Alpha strike force was able to subdue him, and Malcolm was forced to swear never to step foot in Crestborne ever again!"The crowd broke into another heated discussion at that."Benedict Ziegler? The man from the northern military region?" The crowd's expression had shifted from disbelief to adoration once Benedict was mentioned.Benedict was something of a legend within Crestborne!He was considered a martial arts prodigy and had become a martial arts Grandmaster at the young age of twenty, making him the youngest person ever in Crestborne to become a martial arts Grandmaster.Now, he w
The area fell into a dead silence. In an instant, everyone's gaze was directed right at Sebastian, who was standing at the entrance.Sebastian's back was straight as he shook the remaining water droplets from his umbrella. His actions were so plain, and it was hard for anyone to discern anything special about him.So, he was Dr. Ballard?How could someone that Gerald called a martial arts Grandmaster be so… normal?Besides, he looked incredibly young and was probably still in his twenties!Someone from the crowd had gotten to their feet to yell angrily, "You brat! Who the hell are you? Leave!"Did Sebastian not know what situation the arena was in right now?None of the underground bosses even dared to utter a single word in fear of Gerald directing his wrath at them. So what was this ordinary brat doing, calling attention to himself?Was he that desperate for attention?Or did he have a death wish?Gerald's power was oppressive since he was already a Grandmaster, so how co
Besides, it seemed like his medicinal skills were extraordinary. Considering how he was able to revive Joseph, who had been on the brink of death.Sebastian coldly glared at Gerald as he demanded, "Don't you think you've gone too far? Not only did you want to kill him, you even destroyed his lower abdomen so he could never do martial arts again.""The victor gets to do whatever he wants! Anyone foolish enough to step onto this stage is marked for death!" Gerald declared arrogantly from the top of the ring. Sebastian frowned, and he nodded. "I understand."After that, he walked up to the stage.The fighting ring was elevated, and usually, people would just jump onto the stage as a show of their power. However, Sebastian chose to walk up the stairs instead.There was a roar of laughter from the crowd. Besides the underground bosses of Steinberg, some in attendance were just here for entertainment.These people snickered as they whispered amongst themselves."No way. Is he really
After that, under the fearful gaze of the crowd, Gerald assumed a stance as he punched the air before him.That punch was as swift as lightning, and there was even the crackle of electricity as lightning circled his fist, which was now headed right at Sebastian.The underground bosses of Steinberg, who were well-versed in martial arts, were stupefied."My God! Is that the power of a Grandmaster?" someone exclaimed in disbelief."Lightning Fist!" another exclaimed in horror."This is too horrifying… There's no way Sebastian can make it out alive!"Hans' expression paled when he saw Gerald's attack.Gerald's power was way beyond what he had expected, and he couldn't help but wonder if Sebastian could even defeat him.Unlike the rest of the crowd, Sebastian wasn't worried at all. He placed his hands behind his back in a carefree manner as he watched Gerald."I admit you do have some skill," Sebastian said with a smile. "Just not enough!""It has been a while since I've had a goo
Gerald had left a human-sized crater on the ring's ground!The force of Sebastian's blow had also created a shockwave strong enough to knock the bosses of Steinberg off their chairs, and they stared in horror at the stage.The entire ring in front of Sebastian had all but crumbled to dust, and Gerald lay motionless in the wreckage."What just happened?"The crowd was in utter shock as they got to their feet.Tristan looked like he had just seen a ghost, and he yelled, "What the fuck was that?" Gerald was a Grandmaster!A Grandmaster was practically undefeatable, and it has been decades since one had been bested in combat!So how could a single blow completely destroy a grandmaster?Was Sebastian a man or a God?That unassuming fist had hit Gerald with the force of an asteroid, and there was no way anyone could withstand a tremendous blow like that!Meanwhile, Gerald was still spewing blood amongst the wreckage of the destroyed stage. He was internally screaming and howling
