The Mighty Dragon Warrior

Chapter 290

Sigh!

Suddenly, Stephen let out a sigh when Jacob was about five steps away from him.

“They say there will always be someone who’s better and more capable than us. Once upon the time, I was The Pinnacle of Paramount but not anymore……”

He lamented while lifting his head. His eyes evinced the vicissitudes of season in life.

He used to be a sprightly old man. But now, he looked like a haggard and puny man whose days were numbered.

Jacob had unwittingly exposed his brilliance during their scuffle just now. It was impossible for him to outdo Jacob who boasted immense potential.

“I will retire and live a secluded life for the rest of my life if you’re willing to spare Lewis Martial Arts School.”

Stephen pleaded forlornly, and surrendered at the fact that his glory had expired.

Jacob slowed down his pace and gently nodded in concord.

“A real man never goes back on his words!”

Stephen had defeated Jacob in the previous battle. And Jacob was candor and gracious to honor his words on the stipulated term and condition.

But times had changed. This time it was his turn to follow through what he had promised Jacob.

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch. I’d like to declare that Lewis Martial Arts School will henceforth cease antagonizing your organization.”

Stephen was grateful for Jacob’s clemency. God knew he had dedicated his life in building the martial arts school from ground up. At this point of time, he just wanted to salvage what was left of his legacy.

“Sure.”

Jacob believed that Stephen was a man of his words.

As a renown martial arts practitioner, Stephen had earned himself an honest and fair attribution in the martial arts realm. Hence, Jacob knew that he could count on Stephen’s words.

That was also one of the reasons why Jacob obligated his promise after losing to Stephen in the previous battle.

“By the way, Mr. Lynch, the Governor of Paramount is one of my close allies. Reveal this to him if you ever need a favor.”

Just when Jacob was about to leave, Stephen suddenly tossed him a token. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Jacob caught the token swiftly. He flipped it around in his hand.

The token was neither gold nor jade, but it was laden and dense. It was heavy.

While examining its sheen and the intricate motif on the token, Jacob knew this was a unique token.

“Okay.” He shrugged unenthusiastically while tossing the token aside.

Jacob’s clumsy handling had Stephen breaking out in cold sweat. He couldn’t believe Jacob just tossed his valuable and delicate token to Jerry who was standing next to Jacob.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed the impulse to lambast Jacob of his mishandling.

He drew a few deep breaths and swallowed the bitter pill.

“Fuhh… I was once The Pinnacle of Paramount. Look at me, how menial I am now?”

After letting out a long sigh, Stephen turned around and chided himself.

Ultimately, his wrath was set off at the sight of his apprentices still lying and writhing on the ground.

“Useless sh*ts! Do you still think you’re invincible? All of you only know how to cheat your way out of the training! How about now? Fu*king get out of my way and go back to practice at once!”

“Ah, yes, Master…”

Timothy and the other apprentices had never seen Stephen so furious. They disregarded the pain in their bodies and frantically got up from the ground. Then, zoomed into the yard.

After lashing out at his apprentices, Stephen can’t help but shake his head while looking at the direction Jacob and his fellows had gone in.

“That guy is no easy feat. When chaos ensues…”
