"For high-level fighters, training for a few days is a normal thing."Just as the food Sherly had prepared was about to get cold again, Javon's long-closed eyes suddenly opened. A golden light flashed. The true energy in his body had become denser, although in the end, he still hadn't managed to break through to the next level."My husband, you're awake?"

    The ability of the Sulivan family to be so deeply rooted in the capital was not just because of Xander.

Atlas stepped into the ruined hall.Seeing the chaos around him and looking at his now-crippled son, he said in a cold voice, "Who did this?"When Xander saw his father arrive, he weakly recounted everything that had happened.

    Javon didn't answer, but raised his palm. "Now, it's my turn. Nine Dragons Palm!" This time, he struck with two consecutive palms.Seeing this, Jeremy was utterly terrified. He turned and fled desperately. However, he was still a step too slow. The force of the two palms struck his back hard.

"Peak high-level Grandmaster? Is that all you've got."The entire audience fell silent again. Javon's power was too terrifying. Xander, especially, slumped in his chair with a vacant stare."Xander, your turn."Only after Javon's voice was heard did Xander suddenly snap back to reality.

    Xander looked at Javon, confident of his victory. "I'm giving you a chance. Return my money, hand over Forger Enterprise, then kneel and apologize. Perhaps I can spare your life."Twice now, he had heard from Xander that his father was dead. Javon's rage had reached its absolute peak.
