Chapter 138
Daisy told Nicole Kirk bluntly that Adrian was not someone to be provoked lightly.After hearing this, Nicole Kirk nodded, propped her chin on her hand, and gave a perfunctory smile, clearly not taking it to heart at all.Whether it was Daisy or anyone else, no matter how formidable they claimed Adrian to be, Nicole Kirk refused to believe he could be powerful beyond the limits of an ordinary human.Daisy lowered her head, lost in thought.Nicole Kirk chuckled softly. “Saying all this now is nothing more than an attempt to make me release you. But you should understand—I will never let you go.”“Why?” Daisy asked.Aside from the matter involving the Sanders family, Daisy believed she had never crossed them.“Why?” Nicole Kirk grew impatient. She brushed her bangs aside and fixed Daisy with a colder gaze. “My goal today is to use you to threaten Adrian. What would I gain by letting you go?”“Don’t waste your energy. When Adrian arrives, if he’s sensible enough, I’ll have them release

Neil Peterson looked at Adrian with concern and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Doyle?”Adrian quickly shook his head and took out his phone to send a message to Freya.When Freya replied that the signing was still ongoing, Adrian immediately and enthusiastically accepted Neil Peterson’s dinner invitation.He wasn’t particularly fond of social dinners, but compared to being tortured by endless contracts at the press conference until his eyes and ears ached, a meal sounded positively delightful.Seeing Adrian agree, Neil Peterson broke into a broad smile.“I’ve already booked a hotel. Let’s head over together!”Though it was called a social engagement, it was really just a small group sharing a meal. The conversation flowed freely, yet no one felt restrained.Neil Peterson was the first to raise a glass to Adrian.“Today, Skyline City’s martial arts world was spared humiliation entirely because of Mr. Doyle. We owe you our respect and gratitude.”Adrian waved it off. “It’s not as serious a

At that moment, more and more people noticed Yamasato Ki sprawled behind the promotional wall, his face drenched in blood, lying on the ground as if he had been brutally injured.Yamasato Ki struggled to lift his head, trying to call for help, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.“Someone… help… help me…”Yet no one came to his aid. Few even heard him.And those who did were struck dumb by the scene before them.The spectators fell into silence. They truly hadn’t expected this young man to be so terrifyingly powerful.Even the people from the J. Ino Karate Dojo were momentarily speechless.Suzuki Taro in particular knew all too well that although Yamasato Ki was not on J. Ino’s level, he had already reached the early stage of the Mythical Tier—a figure of real standing in the martial world.Suzuki Taro could have accepted Yamasato Ki’s defeat.What he could not accept was that it had ended the moment it began—that in the blink of an eye, Yamasato Ki had lost all fighting capabili

It wasn’t just Ronald Peterson and the others—every martial arts disciple who had come along surged forward, eager to teach the people from the J. Ino Karate Dojo a lesson.Adrian, however, immediately saw through Suzuki Taro’s intentions. Stripped of all pretenses, the man was simply afraid they wouldn’t be able to defeat the other dojo masters.After all, warriors in the Novaland Republic were known for hiding their true strength, and there was no shortage of real experts among them. No matter how loudly they mocked Novaland Republic fighters as weak, they had all personally witnessed J. Ino’s two crushing defeats.As long as J. Ino himself didn’t step in, and they could ensure the opposing dojo masters stayed out as well, their own safety would be guaranteed.Adrian snorted inwardly. This man was truly both stupid and despicable.And Adrian had no doubt that nearly everyone in the J. Ino Karate Dojo was cut from the same shameless cloth.“You all step back. I’ll handle this one mys

“Standards? You don’t deserve to speak of standards!”Kendall Mitchell couldn’t hold back any longer and lashed out at once.“If people like that have ‘standards,’ then Hinoku wouldn’t be called a nation of bastards!”Ronald Peterson echoed her without hesitation. “Exactly. If treachery, deceit, and breaking one’s word count as standards, then Hinoku truly excels at them.”Phoebe Howard’s delicate face flushed, then darkened, red bleeding into purple as she stamped her foot and pointed at them.“Admitting your own shortcomings is far better than blind patriotism! You people are absolutely disgraceful!”After she said that, many within J. Ino’s karate dojo nodded in agreement.That included nearly a third of the Novaland Republic trainees within the dojo.Seeing their indifferent expressions, their complete lack of rebuttal, Adrian knew these people were beyond saving.“So you call Novaland Republic people crude and vulgar simply because we came to challenge the dojo without giving not

Thunder City, the neighboring city adjacent to Skyline City.J. Ino’s karate dojo, by area alone, was even larger than the main hall of the Skyline City Martial Association.From within the dojo came rhythmic shouts from training sessions, while several gatekeeping disciples gathered outside, chatting idly.“At this hour, Director J. Ino must have already crushed every martial dojo in Skyline City.”“Director J. Ino’s senior brothers are each more formidable than the last. Back in Hinoku, they’re household names.”“Still, something feels off. At first, there was good news every few minutes—now there’s no word at all.”The Hinoku men, dressed in the dojo’s standard-issued uniforms, exchanged puzzled looks as they talked.“Could it be they ran into a real tough opponent, and the director’s still fighting?”Just then, several black vehicles drove up from the opposite direction.At the sight of the cars, one of the dojo disciples rushed forward excitedly.“Director! The director is back!”
