Chapter 132
A blade infused with true energy, once snapped in two, meant only one thing—the wielder was either dead or on the brink of death.At this point, of the three experts J. Ino had summoned, the strongest lay in an uncertain state between life and death, while the remaining two were sprawled on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, with no fighting strength left to speak of.Sensing Adrian’s gaze upon him, J. Ino hurriedly collapsed to the floor and pretended to have lost consciousness.There was no way Adrian failed to notice such petty theatrics. It reminded him of the last time he had beaten J. Ino to his knees, begging for mercy.To be beaten so thoroughly and still show no remorse could only mean one thing—J. Ino was not someone who deserved forgiveness after a lesson.Adrian walked over and, without the slightest mercy, kicked J. Ino several times.“Keep pretending,” Adrian said coldly, “and I’ll make sure you never get up again.”How could J. Ino dare continue playing dead after th
Chapter 131
Moments ago, Adrian had still intended to spare their lives. But after trading blows, he reconsidered—now, he would leave them intact, nothing more.After all, he hadn’t fought for this long for nothing. Every strike had to count.Of course, if any of them managed to crawl back up and foolishly insisted on continuing, then their fate would be left to heaven.Adrian stood perfectly still, utterly indifferent to the shock this scene had inflicted upon Neil Peterson and the others.Wesley Nolan’s temples throbbed violently as he shot another sharp glare at his own son.Adrian was simply terrifying. If Archie Nolan were to face him head-on, he wouldn’t stand a chance.Archie Nolan turned his head away stubbornly, his resentment toward Adrian unmistakable.“If you don’t get up soon,” Adrian said coldly, “I’ll start killing.”His clenched fist cracked loudly. In the next instant, the ornamental rocks exploded outward, and a figure burst free, appearing before Adrian almost in the blink of a

Jirō Saionji had already realized that the man he had just cut down was clearly a disciple from J. Ino’s karate dojo.Fury flashed across his face. “Who was it? Who dares court death like this?”Adrian spread his hands and smiled, his arrogance even more pronounced than before.“It’s not that I’m not afraid of dying,” he said lightly. “I just think endless killing is rather distasteful. How about this—kneel down, bow your heads, and admit your mistake. I might still spare your lives.”The moment Adrian finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent—no, stunned was the more accurate word.“Mr. Doyle… why are you here?”Neil Peterson spat out a mouthful of blood. After steadying himself for a moment, he looked up at Adrian again.“You should leave—now, before they make a move. These three are far stronger than J. Ino. You’ll be at a disadvantage.”He rattled it all out in one breath, gasping for air afterward, the blood foam at the corner of his mouth not yet wiped away.A warmth stirre
Chapter 129
At the Joy Hotel in Skyline City, Adrian was juggling contracts while keeping an eye on the crowd.He’d thought he could slip away once the Snow Beauty Secret launch wound down. Instead, sharp-eyed Freya had hauled him back to play pack mule.Adrian sighed and accepted his fate. The post-event signing frenzy refused to cool; every company head seemed remarkably accommodating. In a short span, he’d stacked up five or six completed contracts.Daisy was over the moon and chose to ignore Adrian’s long-suffering face.He’d lost count of his sighs. He should’ve taken the back exit, not the front. Then Freya wouldn’t have collared him so brazenly to work. No lounging, no slacking, not even a bite to eat—despair lapped at his ankles.Would someone please rescue him from this venue…His phone buzzed, a faint vibration. Adrian, moving at a leisurely crawl, fished it out. Who could possibly be calling now?A message from Ronald Peterson popped up. “Dr. Doyle, help! A few Hinoku bastards are tryi

In a flash of steel and breath, those who caught Jirō Saionji’s small motion went rigid with dread—too tense even to remember their anger.Quentin Kennedy didn’t retreat. He drove straight into the gleam of the blade.Everyone saw it—he had stepped onto the field with death already accepted. The Hinoku fighters saw it too. They simply intended to kill him.The fist-wind sharpened until it stung the face.Someone cried, “Master Kennedy!” and the cry seemed to snap everyone awake. The Hinoku men weren’t merely breaking decorum—they meant to take a life in plain view.Rage lit the hall in a chain reaction, glare after glare. Jirō Saionji saw—and didn’t so much as blink.“You go too far!”“Master Kennedy—watch yourself!”“Shameless Hinoku cowards!”The world flickered—just a blur of shadow—and a thunderclap rang in their ears. In the next breath, Neil Peterson had hauled Quentin Kennedy back into the safe line.Neil’s face was calm stone as he clapped Quentin’s shoulder. He had recognized

Archie Nolan’s injuries were severe. Even conscious, he was suffering. Wesley Nolan’s eyes burned red with fury. This made twice now—whether his son’s arm would be ruined was anyone’s guess. A fighter without an arm—how could that not matter?Wesley and Raymond Mitchell rose in the same breath and lunged at Ki Fujiwara with blistering speed.Jirō Saionji had no intention of letting them fight two-on-one. He drew his blade in a single motion and slashed for Raymond. The blade-wind hardened to a cutting gale; Raymond twisted away, but his left shoulder split open beneath a razor of wind, crimson soaking his shirt in a heartbeat.“Their blade-wind is vicious—watch the arcs!”Even as Wesley barked the warning, his fist skimmed for Ki Fujiwara’s face—and in that instant, Ki Fujiwara dropped straight back, hit the ground flat, then snapped upright like a sprung hinge.“Jujutsu—Hinoku jujutsu!”One of the dojo heads shouted the warning.Wesley’s expression froze; he recovered instantly and d
