Chapter 338
“Reuben, oh, Reuben, you’re the head of the Flynn Family, yet this is how you do things? Don’t you know about the rules of a duel to the death? What are you trying to do?” John questioned.
“That’s right,” Samuel added. “Only now do you have the urge to go in there and protect your son. However, when your son hit Thomas just now, I didn’t see you telling your son to stop. How shameless!”
“If you can’t accept the consequences of losing, then don’t get involved in the first place! Your son was the one who suggested a duel to the death with Mr. Clifford. Your son isn’t dead yet, so the duel isn’t over. If you don’t want anything to happen to your son, you should’ve stopped the duel from happening in the first place. Now that they’ve signed the consent form, what right do you have to boss around?”
Theodore spoke, feeling disgruntled. He realized this was how the Flynn Family of Capitalis operated. Shame on them!
“Get out of my way!”
Reuben glared at them. How dare these three stink bugs block his path? If he had the chance in the future, he would make them pay!
Out of the corner of his eye, Reuben saw Thomas giving him a challenging smile. Thomas’ fist was still hanging in the air, and he was about to bring it down at any moment.
The crazed Reuben tried to get into the arena, but John and the others refused to budge. They started engaging him in a battle at the edge of the arena, just right below the stage.
The three didn’t employ any particular moves, and neither were they risking their lives to fight Reuben. They simply wanted to hold him back.
If he wanted to interrupt Thomas, he would have to go through them first!
The trio was quite strong, and with their strength in numbers, Reuben couldn’t easily get past them quickly.
Leah looked at the four fighting men, then at Gunnar, who was still coughing up blood in the arena. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. Now that everyone’s attention was drawn to Reuben, it was the opportune time for her to get into the arena and rescue Gunnar.
At that thought, Leah made haste as she discreetly jumped into the arena.
“Get out!”
Colby had been watching the old witch all along. As soon as Leah got into the arena, Colby ran swiftly after her. With a forceful punch, he threw his fist at Leah’s face.
In her panic, Leah reached up to block the attack, but her power was a far cry from Colby’s.
Bang!
Leah was sent flying from Colby’s punch, and blood trickled from her mouth. Colby’s punch just now had given her an internal injury, and Leah didn’t dare move anymore as she gazed reluctantly at Thomas, who was ready to strike.
“Leah, who permitted you to do as you wish in front of the Travis Family? If you dare cause any trouble again, I guarantee you won’t make it out of this place alive!”
They were the ones who suggested a duel to the death, but now that Gunnar was losing, they were trying to take their words back. Who did they think they were?
Leah coughed. “Colby, look closer. The man lying on the floor is the Genius of Capitalis and the future head of the Flynn Family. If he dies in the arena today, can your family shoulder the responsibility?”
“Are you threatening me?” Colby put his hands behind his back as he looked coldly at Leah, then continued, “I’ll make this clear today. All of you silently agreed to let Gunnar enter the duel to the death, and Gunnar himself signed the consent form. If he dies because of his incapability, then so be it! If anyone dares to find fault with the Travises, I hope they do their best.”
With that, Colby instantly released immense power from his body. So what if they were the Wilkerson Family? Even in their prime as the greatest family in Capitalis, the Travises never once feared them, much less now!
“Know your place. You Wilkersons only survived a threat with the help of the Flynns, and now, you’re trying to cause trouble with the Travises just to help the Flynns. If you anger the Travises, I’ll give the Wilkersons more trouble to worry about!”
Colby was not to be messed with. He was the most outstanding person among the younger generations of the Travis Family, and he was already the future head of the family. Moreover, Kyrie favored him, so his words mostly represented the will of the entire Travis Family.
“You—”
Halfway through her speech, Leah couldn’t bring herself to call Colby a madman. What could she do? He had the resources to back it up, after all.
Colby stood at the edge of the arena, his sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd in front of him. Even though he never said a word, his intentions were clear. If anyone wanted to interrupt the duel, they would have to go through him first.
“Thomas! You arrogant prick! You’d better think twice! If you dare kill my son, you’ll make yourself an enemy of the Flynn Family of Capitalis! You’ll forever be on the run from us until the day you die!”
When Reuben saw Thomas crouching down, he hastily threatened the latter.
Thomas froze for a moment, then turned to look at Reuben and nodded calmly. “Oh, okay.”
Bang!
His fist landed cruelly on Gunnar’s face, and blood splattered everywhere.
Gunnar’s handsome face was now completely unrecognizable. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ugh…” Gunnar even let out a strained moan.
“Thomas! I’ll kill you!”
Reuben was heartbroken. He almost lost his wits when he saw the horrible state his son was in. He swung his iron fists in a frenzy, trying to break through the circle John and the others made around him.
Thomas smiled. “Yes, I’m arrogant and I want to be an enemy of the Flynns. Come get me!”
Initially, Thomas wanted to end Gunnar’s life with a punch and conclude the duel as soon as possible. However, when he heard Reuben’s threats, he changed his mind.
He withheld his strength on purpose, hence refraining from killing Gunnar with one punch. A cruel idea popped up in his mind. Since Reuben was threatening him, he’d throw a few more punches so that Reuben could watch his son getting brutally tortured to death!
Threats never worked on Thomas, for he was used to it already.
“Reuben, let me tell you this. In this entire world, there is no one I’m afraid to kill. Your son is no exception.”
Bang!
He threw another punch. This time, Gunnar didn’t even have the strength to moan. He lay on the ground like a dead fish, wholly at Thomas’ mercy.
“Hah, the Genius of Capitalis, my foot! He’s nothing but a shameless piece of trash! If you provoke me, there’s no saving you even if you’re the son of the emperor!”
With that, Thomas held his fist high. He had enough of playing around, and he would send Gunnar to hell right now.
“No!”
Reuben’s heart-wrenching cry sounded from below the stage. Obviously, he could tell that his son would be gone from the land of the living with another punch.
Bang!
A mysterious shadow suddenly appeared behind Thomas. Before Thomas could land his punch, the shadow sent him flying with one.
The shadow didn’t stop there. It quickly chased after Thomas as he soared through the air, then delivered another punch.
“Stop!”
Kyrie howled as he instantly dashed into the arena. He grabbed Thomas with one arm and clashed fists with the shadow using his other.
