CHAPTER 457
At that moment, before the guard—before the man—could even begin to process what had just happened, everything around him blurred into a terrifying flash of movement.Boom!Like a missile launching from the shadows, Derek’s fist tore through the space between them with such force that the very air cracked around it.The man’s body reacted before his mind did—his battle-hardened instincts flaring like fire alarms.Elbow up. Block. Survive.He didn’t even see the punch coming—he felt it. Felt it like a tidal wave about to crash into him.He had fought monsters before.He had stood toe to toe with beasts twice his size.But this… this was different, this wasn’t just strength, this was something else entirely.The moment Derek’s fist collided with his elbow, a thunderous shockwave exploded through the warehouse, and the man’s feet were lifted off the ground as if he were nothing but a ragdoll in the hands of a storm.His entire body went flying backward at an unnatural speed.Crack! He sl
CHAPTER 456
Upon hearing what Derek just said, the man froze mid-step.The echo of Derek’s voice still lingered in the air like smoke refusing to vanish.His eyes twitched. His body stilled. Something in him shivered—not from fear, but from something worse: disbelief.Slowly… very slowly… he turned around.His breath caught in his throat.There, standing tall through the settling dust, was Derek.Unmoving. Unshaken. Unbent.The very man who was supposed to be turned to ash. The very man who should’ve been nothing more than a memory now stood at the center of the wreckage like an immovable wall—his clothes fluttering from the aftermath of the attack, his arms relaxed by his sides, his expression unreadable.The man's pupils dilated.No bruises, no burns, not even a scratch.He blinked once, twice—still Derek stood, as calm and composed as before. The aura around him hadn't dimmed. If anything, it had intensified, now thicker, denser, darker.Impossible, that attack… that form… had erased enemies f
CHAPTER 455
At that moment, when Derek actually heard what the man was saying, his expression didn’t change. Not even a twitch. Instead, he slowly tilted his neck to the right until a loud crack echoed, then tilted it to the left, cracking it again. A faint smile curved across his lips not out of confidence, but out of sheer will. He rolled his shoulders back and slowly raised one arm, then the other, loosening them as if warming up for a jog and not a deathmatch. His fingers clenched and unclenched, and then, raising both arms, he motioned toward himself and said boldly, “Well, I’m expecting your strongest attack. Give me everything you have.”The man’s lips curled into a nasty smirk. He said nothing in return. He simply cracked his knuckles, tilted his head once, and suddenly raised one hand into the air. With just a small motion of his fingers—like a secret signal—the energy around him suddenly shifted.A sharp wind sliced through the space between them.Then it happened.In a blink, his hand—
CHAPTER 454
At that moment, hearing what Derek just said, the old man's brows arched slightly, and a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips. He was still seated, his fingers calmly drumming against the wooden armrest of his chair, but that single statement from Derek stirred a ripple of amusement across his face — and perhaps, just a touch of surprise.A challenge like that? From someone like Derek?The room grew tenser, the air thick with unspoken thoughts. The guards standing nearby blinked in disbelief, their hands inching toward their weapons as if expecting chaos to erupt any second. The right-hand bodyguard, the one Derek had pointed to earlier, glanced at the old man, awaiting the slightest nod.The old man tilted his head, still smiling. “And if you don’t win,” he said in a quiet, steady tone, “what then?” His voice was laced with curiosity — not because he didn’t already know what he would do, but because he wanted to hear it from Derek himself.Without hesitation, Derek took a step forwa
CHAPTER 453
At that moment, upon seeing what just happened, the old man actually then stopped on his track. His steps halted mid-air as if the weight of what had just unfolded rooted him to the spot. His eyes narrowed, flickering with a brief moment of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Derek this boy, this so-called waste of space—had just sent one of his men flying with nothing more than a punch.Even though he knew that was one of his weakest men, what bothered him wasn’t the man’s weakness—it was the manner in which Derek actually did it. The sound of bones snapping, the blur of Derek’s movement, and the sheer impact that had sent the guard crashing into the wall, shattering two marble pillars like they were made of glass, left even the watching spectators in awe. It was brutal. It was precise. It was clean.The old man’s eyes didn’t leave Derek. His stare lingered, cold and calculating, as if reevaluating everything he thought he knew. Slowly, he nodded, almost as if acknowledging something
CHAPTER 452
At that moment, Derek raised his head slowly, his breath shallow, his jaw clenched despite the pressure tightening around his throat. His eyes met the old man's without flinching, without blinking. Blood was pooling at the corners of his lips from earlier hits, but he still managed to speak, voice hoarse but filled with unwavering resolve.“There’s nothing you are going to do that will break me,” he said, every word dripping with grit and defiance. “And there’s nothing you can ever do that will make me say what you want to hear. Nothing.”His words echoed through the room, not like a loud roar, but like a solemn vow. The air itself seemed to hold its breath, watching, listening. The guards nearby exchanged uneasy glances. For a man who looked so worn and broken, Derek didn’t sound defeated. He sounded like someone with nothing left to lose. And that was dangerous.The old man’s face didn’t shift right away. He stared at Derek for a few more seconds, his eyes dark, unreadable. But then
