But Brian did not respond to Edward's plea. He continued to move forward, getting closer to Aaron.Realizing that Brian was ignoring his plea, Edward crawled over to Brian and knelt at the young blond man's feet."Please forgive my grandfather, I beg you! You can take my life in return!"Though Edward spoke these words, they did not move Brian's heart in the slightest. Instead, the core members of the Masked Warriors looked at him with disgust."Begone!" Brian said, waving his foot where Edward's hands were holding him. His expression remained unchanged. He wanted to continue the duel as agreed upon with Aaron.On the other side, when Aaron saw his grandson kneeling on the ground, he felt a mixture of emotions.On the one hand, he felt pain in his heart. For a nobleman like him, it was a shameful disgrace to have a member of his family bow to someone else.In all his decades of life, he had never allowed himself or his family to beg so low.Aaron wanted to stop Edward, but his lips we
The two girls lowered their heads at the same time, embarrassed by the names they had called each other.After a while, Archie opened her sweet lips again. "We don't have much time. Can you tell me what to do?"As she spoke these sentences, Archie's tone and body language seemed to Laura more like that of an older sister than a friend.Archie became like this because she now knew that Laura felt the same way about her. Therefore, she was confident that the Davenmert girl would not plan anything bad or dangerous against her."Alright!" Laura said briefly, nodding her head. Her tone and expression also showed that she was beginning to care about Archie.Laura then told the story of how her grandfather, Alfonso, got involved with the Masked Warriors. "It all started with this object," she said, showing a mask with special carvings, one of the highest symbols of the group.The girl then explained that she had to do something for the group to save her grandfather and her family. "Brian has
What?That's impossible!Not only Aaron, but all the Tectona Warriors in the area widened their eyes when they heard what Brian had just said.Asking for Archie? Isn't that the same thing as letting the events of twenty years ago happen again?Tectona had suffered the shame of the past decades because they hadn't been able to solve that case. Now, a similar case would happen again, and they would just keep silent without doing anything? Of course, that was impossible!"Bring the girl here, and I will consider Mr. Amaro's life debt to me repaid!" Brian said firmly.According to Tectona's rules, forgiving one's opponent in a Blood Duel created a sort of "debt" to the defeated party, allowing the victor to demand something from them.That something could be anything from possessions to services, maybe even a family member!So if Brian asked Aaron for Archie, the old man would have to give her up unless he allowed Brian to kill him.Hearing the request, Aaron's chest tightened even more.
What really happened to Daniel?To find out the answer to that question, we have to go back a while, before Aaron and Brian had a blood duel between them.A few minutes earlier.When Brian started a cunning ploy to make people think that Daniel was working with him, serving the Masked Warrior, young Elrod realized one thing."If he succeeds in inciting everyone with his convincing act, it will be even harder for me to regain their trust!"Daniel is not someone who depends on the approval and good treatment of others. Not at all!He didn't care if people underestimated him or treated him badly. But he would never want to be accused of something he didn't do.Besides, if he wanted to restore their trust in him, he'd have to reveal the real truth: that Edward is not worthy of the title of Esquire Tectona.Therefore, while watching Aaron and Brian duel, Daniel's mind continued to think of ways to get himself out of this difficult situation.At that moment, his phone rang and a familiar me
With that many points, he was able to increase his body level twice, reaching level fourteen.[Body Endurance: 14 Percent][Physical Speed: 14 Percent][Sensory Ability: 14 Percent][Recovery ability: 14 percent].With this increase in his body level, it means that Daniel has successfully reached the fourth level of the rank of Lion.Along with the increase in his body's level, Daniel could feel a pure power flowing through every blood vessel, making his body feel comfortable.This level increase is also rapidly improving his body's ability to recover.Daniel not only fully recovered from the remaining wounds he received from Archie's blows, but he also felt that he had become much stronger than before.Daniel stood next to Aaron as he parried Brian's fist.Daniel's sudden arrival naturally shocked the two Warriors who were fighting.On Brian's side, he couldn't believe the strength he felt from Daniel. "Impossible! I'm sure I saw him in a rather weakened state earlier, so why has his
Brian aimed both of his fists at Aaron's chest.In this situation, if the old man had enough power left, he might have been able to dodge the attack.But his energy was exhausted. The old man could only feel a great force moving towards him for a brief moment before it hit him completely.Daniel didn't stand by and watch what Brian was doing.With all his strength he pulled Aaron's body aside, so that the fists of the young Rogers family hit nothing but empty air.Woosh!Daniel then took Aaron's body to the edge of the field, toward a group of Tectona Warriors."Mr. Amaro, stay here! I will teach him a lesson!" Daniel said.When they saw what the young man had done to Aaron, their reactions were divided."Is he doing this to deceive us again?" one of them thought."I will never trust anyone associated with the Drummond family again!" Another voice in their hearts.Some of them saw Daniel's actions as a way to gain sympathy. Thus, in addition to their caution, their hatred for Daniel g
While everyone held their breath, unsure of what would happen next to Daniel, the young man instead showed a faint smile on his lips."Why didn't you use this technique sooner?" he thought.The shadow of a golden dragon loomed in front of Daniel, ready to strike the young man's body even faster than the blink of an eye.But instead of channeling his energy to defend himself, Daniel spread his energy throughout his body and kept it at a low level.Boom!A loud explosion echoed from Daniel's direction.Though it did not seem as intense or powerful as before, the shock wave and wind gust it created indicated that it was still a formidable attack.Since Daniel didn't try to counter the blow, the dragon shadow's movement caused the ground around him to shake considerably, kicking up clouds of dust.Before the dragon shadow could hit Daniel, everyone could still see that the young man showed no signs of attempting to counter or dodge, leaving them puzzled."Fool! Why is he just standing the
It took a while for everyone to look at the place where Daniel was.The place was covered in swirling dust from the aftermath of Brian's attack. Not only that, but white smoke was coming from the area, indicating that the explosion had burned the place.As the dust began to settle, everyone was wearing almost identical expressions of horror. It was a terrible feeling!Even though they didn't know Daniel's actual condition, they could almost be sure that the young man was not in any good condition. It would be impressive if he could even survive, let alone breathe.Near the spot where Daniel had stood, there was a large hole in the ground, dozens of meters in diameter and five to ten meters deep. With such a deep crater, how could anyone be sure that Daniel was still alive, or at least well?Since the Masked Warrior had entered the Mayor's complex, Aaron had actually activated an invisible shield several meters in front of the buildings.This shield was the same one that had been used
