Certainly, Master Lee was surprised to hear Christian asking about Master Stefano, as not everyone was aware of him. For the past 3 years, the man had been wandering to various countries to enhance his martial arts skills and had not returned during that period. It was only about 5 months ago that he came back.If Christian wanted to know about the martial arts master in USA, he should have inquired about the chairman and vice chairman of the USA Martial Arts Association, Leone Venezia and Antonio Lucchesi.At least these two were widely known and legendary throughout USA. Anyone involved in martial arts would be familiar with them.“I just want to know who he is and what martial arts he masters,” Christian replied to the question from his mentor.Lee nodded. Then he said, “I know you’re having issues with him, but I don’t know the reasons for your conflict. Christian, he’s not just anyone. He’s far more formidable than you can imagine.”Christian hadn’t even expressed his opinion abo
With a battle, someone strong might lose to someone seemingly weaker on paper just because of one mistake.Christian had witnessed several underground martial arts fights that often played out like that. Someone with a small stature and seemingly no strength at all could defeat a heavily muscled, large-bodied man.Upon hearing what Christian said, his entire crew became instantly more anxious, especially Darrell and his network. Certainly, if Christian were to be absent, they might slowly crumble as they would no longer have the support of Demetri’s family, which had been a significant influence for them.For Dorian, losing Christian would make it very difficult for him to elevate his family to a higher level.“Mr. Demetri, don’t speak like that. We surely have a way out to win, or at least to save Mr. Demetri’s life,” Darrell said.Christian lit his cigarette and took a deep drag.Darrell and the others waited patiently for Christian to speak.After a moment, Christian said, “Master
Stefano was rightfully angered as he did not permit Blake to enter his house.Stefano’s footsteps resonated firmly and decisively, sounding like the synchronized steps of fifty people.Blake undoubtedly felt a tremor within himself. He feared that Stefano might get angry and deliver a blow that could send him straight into the afterlife.“Forgive me, Master, but this is extremely crucial for my family to meet with you. So, I dared to break in here!” Blake said, bowing his body at a 45-degree angle.Stefano halted right in front of Blake, the gap between them only about a meter. A single kick could send Blake flying ten meters away.“Someone entering another person’s house without the owner’s permission is the same as being a thief. I don’t know you that well; I only know your parents, and do you know what that means? We don’t have a relationship!” Stefano stated with a firm tone.Quickly, Blake spoke, “Forgive me for being audacious, Master. I understand that our relationship isn’t cl
Upon receiving the news, Christian immediately went downstairs accompanied by Darrell, who was waiting outside the room door.“There are only 5 cars; don’t initiate any attacks until they do first!” Christian exclaimed.“Very well, sir. I will inform the troops to exercise restraint,” Darrell replied.The New York mafia leader’s meeting proceeded with trembling bodies. The figure of Master Stefano truly instilled fear in them.“Are you scared, Darrell?” Christian asked without looking at Darrell’s face.“I’m just anxious, sir. I’m only concerned about your safety,” Darrell replied.Christian chuckled at his response. Then, he turned to Darrell and gazed at his face.“You don’t need to worry! Everything that will happen is God’s plan, and it is the best. I am confident I will win, even though I don’t know where that confidence comes from. But if something bad happens to me, and I leave this world, I want you to take care of Yve,” Christian said.Although his words were serious, he mana
Stefano looked at Lee and greeted him with a right hand that gripped and softly slapped the open left hand, raised 90 degrees.“Long time no see, Master Lee!” said Stefano.Lee nodded and replied, “Glad to see you again.”Stefano took five steps forward, bringing him close to Christian and Lee.“It seems we are on different sides now. Before we proceed, I want to apologize if I end up killing one of your disciples, Christian Demetri. I want to send him to meet my friend, Kairos,” said Stefano, his voice and gaze extremely serious.Stefano’s main reason for coming here was to avenge Kairos’s death, and secondly, to assist the Skylark Family.“He brutally killed Kairos. I saw the condition of Kairos’s body, which was utterly unfit to be seen. It’s all because of that person who has no heart at all!” Blake spoke with a fiery voice, his face holding back pain, and his hand clutching his stomach.Stefano’s face turned red. He was eager to kill Christian.“Now he’s trying to destroy my fami
Everyone panicked when they heard Lee scream loudly and saw the old man’s hand looking weak as if boneless.While defending against Stefano’s attacks, the old man carelessly used his hands without paying attention to the crucial pressure points that should be targeted when facing someone with excellent internal energy skills.Due to his negligence, Lee had to face the harsh reality of his bones being shattered, far worse than what Christian had experienced.“You insolent fool! How dare you do that to my master!” Christian growled.Stefano turned to Christian and said, “I warned him before this happened, but he completely ignored it. And, well... this is what happens when someone doesn’t follow what I say.”Christian grinned upon hearing Stefano’s words. Then he said, “But what you did to my master will never happen to me. On the contrary, I will make you suffer. Maybe not with shattered bones, but enough to take your life!”Christian’s words frightened Yve. She worried that if Stefano
Yve acted recklessly to save Christian from death. She realized that if she didn’t act, Stefano could kill Christian with just one attack.Despite knowing the consequences, Yvette went ahead.And what Yve did succeeded in stopping the deadly attack that Stefano was about to launch on Christian. Even though Yve couldn’t hit Stefano because her body was hit by the outer side of the left hand of the Martial Arts Master, causing her to be thrown off, when thrown off, Yve still tried to attack by kicking Stefano’s throat, which happened to be within reach of her foot.Yve fell and hit the asphalt quite hard. Meanwhile, Stefano fell while holding his throat and rolling on the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth.Christian immediately ran to Yve to check on his wife’s condition.“Yve! Are you okay?” Christian immediately hugged his wife.It was clear that Yve was experiencing excruciating pain in her abdomen, making her unable to answer Christian’s question.Quickly, Darrell and Diego came o
With a pale face and trembling body, Nolan knelt before Christian.His head bowed and hands clasped in front of his chest, Nolan said, “Forgive me, Christian! I confess my wrongdoing for pretending to be your protector just to gain love from your wife. Please forgive me and my family!”A scion of the third wealthiest family in USA had no dignity in front of Christian. The two of them knelt, seeking forgiveness from a man known as the useless son-in-law.Yve, with a heavy heart, approached Nolan. Her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.Not because she was disappointed in Nolan’s lies, but she was disappointed in herself. She realized how foolish she had been to feel so comfortable with Nolan, a liar, to the extent that the thought of leaving Christian and turning to Nolan had crossed her mind.Now, she felt incredibly foolish for letting her love erode so easily for someone she had just met. Especially when there was a man by her side who loved her wholeheartedly.Christian n
