They laughed like men who had already counted their gains. Doom was a word for other people, not for men who had ships in the harbor and judges in their pockets.

Lazarus leaned back, the white of his teeth showing in a slow grin. Trust’s laugh rolled over the room. Both of them dismissed Professor Manuel’s warning with the ease of men who had never been held accountable.

“Men,” Lazarus said, voice flat and efficient, “escort Professor Manuel to the car and take him to the Blues Club. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

The guards moved without a question. They formed a funnel and guided the professor and his small party toward the waiting vehicles. Professor Manuel watched them with an expression that was equal parts fury and exhaustion. He repeated, quieter this time, “You are doomed.”

They ignored him. They always ignored what they did not want to hear. For them, threats were currency, to be spent when convenient and discarded when not.

    His roar exploded through the theatre like a shockwave.The ground beneath the stage trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from his feet as if the concrete itself could no longer endure his presence. Chairs rattled. Light fixtures swayed. Several audience members screamed as the tremor knocked them off balance.The Kungfu King bent his knees slightly.Then he vanished.His body shot into the air like a cannonball, propelled by terrifying leg strength. The distance between him and Jaden disappeared instantly as he twisted midair and unleashed a devastating kick, carrying the full weight of his madness and killing intent.Gasps erupted throughout the theatre.Some people screamed. Others froze, unable to move or even blink.Boulder clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms. His eyes gleamed as he muttered excitedly, unable to hide the thrill in his voice.“Haha… this is it. This is the Kungfu King’s true strength!”To him, this was the killing blow.

    Boulder had already shifted his attention back to the stage. A crooked smirk tugged at his lips as he spoke lazily, confidence dripping from his tone.“The show is about to begin.”And indeed, it was.Jaden Rift and the Kungfu King finally stood face to face at the center of the stage, their presence alone suffocating the air around them.A heavy silence fell over the theatre.No one cheered. No one clapped.Everyone had seen it with their own eyes. The dirty, unkempt lunatic standing across from Jaden had slaughtered Miyamoto Oni and five armed subordinates in the blink of an eye. That level of brutality was not human.Fear crept into the hearts of the audience.Some people clenched their fists unconsciously. Others turned their faces away. A few even covered their eyes, unwilling to witness Jaden being beaten to death.Yet Jaden remained calm.He stood straight with his hands clasped behind his back, gaze cold and steady as he looked at the Kungfu King. His voice was low but clear.

    (AUTHOR’S NOTE: SORRY FOR THE PREVIOUS THREE CHAPTERS GUYS. IT WAS A CONTENT FROM ANOTHER BOOK. BY THIS TIME YOU’RE SEEING THIS, IT SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN CORRECTED)The truth was obvious now.Every communication device inside the theatre was useless. Phones had no signal. Emergency lines were dead. Even internal networks were jammed completely.This place had been sealed off.On top of that, every exit was guarded by tall, stone-faced men in black suits. They stood shoulder to shoulder, hands tucked beneath their jackets, eyes sharp and hostile. No one would be allowed to leave without permission.Boulder Lancelot had full control of the theatre.Selena felt her chest tighten.There was no help coming. No rescue. No miracle.Her gaze drifted to the stage.The Japanese bodies still lay there, unmoving. Blood stained the floorboards. And standing at the center was Jaden, calm and upright, facing the Kungfu King who radiated murderous intent.If this continued, Jaden would die. She wa

    The Kungfu King stared at Jaden the way a butcher looked at livestock.There was no hatred in his eyes. No anger. Only raw excitement.“To me,” he said slowly, rolling his neck as his joints cracked, “dueling you and killing you are the same thing.”A chill swept through the theatre.People finally understood that this was no performance, no staged provocation. This man was a lunatic who lived for bloodshed. And now, he had locked onto Jaden.Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd.“That man just killed six people…”“He’s insane…”“Is he really going to fight to the death here?”Selena’s hands trembled uncontrollably.She had seen violence before, but nothing like this. The way the Kungfu King killed was casual, effortless, as if human lives meant nothing. And now that same monster wanted Jaden.Fear clawed at her chest.She quickly took out her phone and tried to call the police.No signal.Before she could try again, a tall figure stepped into the row and calmly sat down in

  • Chapter 845

    Miyamoto Oni had once been hailed as the top swordsman of his generation in Japan.He had crossed the sea with one purpose. To challenge experts, crush reputations, and prove that Japanese swordsmanship stood above all else. He had heard that Americans idolized the Lone Ranger, treating a fictional gunslinger like a hero. To him, that admiration was laughable.That was why he chose tonight.Crash the show. Humiliate the symbol. Prove superiority in front of thousands.But reality hit him like a hammer.Instead of applause, he was being beaten senseless. Instead of admiration, there was only ridicule and fear. Every strike from Jaden shattered his pride piece by piece.Panic took over.He stumbled backward, arms raised defensively, voice shaking as he yelled, “Where are my samurais? Get up here! Kill him!”The next second, five figures leaped onto the stage from different directions.They moved with coordination, katanas flashing under the lights. Their stances were sharp and disciplin

    Just then, a shout rang out from the audience.A katana flew through the air and landed on the stage with a sharp clang.Miyamoto Oni’s eyes lit up. He caught the sword smoothly with one hand, his movements practiced and confident. The moment the katana was in his grip, his entire demeanor changed. The earlier panic vanished, replaced by smug arrogance.He pointed the blade at Jaden and said coldly, “We agreed to a duel, but we never said anything about fighting barehanded.”He lifted the katana slightly, letting the stage lights reflect off its razor-sharp edge. “I am a descendant of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Using a katana is only natural for me.”A sneer crossed his face. “You are free to use a weapon as well.”The crowd exploded in outrage.“This guy has no shame!”“He only pulled a sword because he was losing!”“So shameless!”Everyone could tell what Miyamoto Oni was doing. He knew he stood no chance against Jaden in a fistfight, so he resorted to a blade.Selena
