Gareth knew he could not beat Kaze in a fair fight. If he really went to Kaze, or Kaze came to him, he would be dead nonetheless. Therefore, he could only try to stall with the idea of fighting Kaze in the ring, fair and square. He wanted to put Kaze in a position where attacking or killing would ruin his future and reputation, making him the despicable villain for the rest of his life. However, Gareth knew he could not afford to lose either. He could not afford to let a useless guy who married into his wife’s family ruin the reputation and status that he spent a decade building. Even if Gareth left Lilyrose, people would still go after him and possibly thrash the Hornberg Manor just to get him. His reputation and wealth that he spent decades accumulating would be flushed down the drain. He knew how harsh the society could be and people would take advantage of him or gloat at him once they got the chance. He had seen it many times. He used the same method when he wa

The four titans were four of the strongest disciples Gareth had. They were also reputable figures in Sunrise City. Some even heard about the incident where the four of them caused trouble at Lefteria Group, putting Miru, the local kingpin, in a difficult situation. If Kaze could cripple the four of them, then he must be really strong. Therefore, the fight between Gareth and Kaze might not be entirely one-sided. However, if Gareth wanted to challenge Kaze fair and square, it must mean that he had absolute confidence in his own strength, or else he would not risk his reputation just to fight someone with a lesser reputation. After all, the two of them were from different worlds. Gareth was the grandmaster of the martial arts world. As for Kaze, even though it was proven that he was no longer a useless guy and had two companies under his belt, his status was still incomparable to Gareth’s. It was no surprise if Kaze lost to Gareth. However, if Gareth lost to Kaze, then

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

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

“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
