"Are you looking for me?" like usual, Ace acted calmly.
'Hmm? Master rank?'
He finally knew the reason why Blake dared to act arrogantly like that.
'But the level of his strength, agility, stamina and mana capacity are only at level 41. It seems like he broke through to the Master rank not too long ago.'
Even though they were on the same level, the difference in their stats was like heaven and earth.
"Hmf! You finally show yourself, boy toy." Blake uttered, "Now kneel before my brother and apologize to him. Otherwise, I will beat you to death later."
"Yes! Kneel before me and apologize!" Alvin added.
All women immediately stood in front of Ace and tried to protect him.
"Ace is not wrong, so why should he apologize to your brother?"
"That's right. Your brother was the one who caused trouble first. He should be the one apologizing to Ace, not the other way around."
"That's right. That's right."
These women still had no idea that Ace was much stronger than Blake, so they tried to protect him because they did not want something bad to happen to him.
"Are you going to hide behind these women again? No wonder you are a boy toy. It's because you can only depend on women to protect you. Tch, tch, tch!" like before, Blake tried to humiliate Ace again.
Ace walked forward and uttered, "Ladies, let me handle this."
"But Ace…" they thought he was still a weak young man, so they tried to protect him.
"It's fine. I can handle this alone." Ace understood their behavior because only a few people knew how strong he was.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Blake inquired, "If you kneel before my brother, apologize to him and break your right hand, I will forget everything. I won't make your handsome face covered in bruises if you do as I say. So, what is your choice, weak boy toy?"
"You also don't filter your words, huh? Well, you two are brothers, so it's normal if you have foul mouth too." even though Ace was unhappy with Blake's behavior and words, he was still able to control his emotion.
"How dare you say we have foul mouths!" Alvin roared.
"Brother, ignore his words. He doesn't have parents, so no one teaches him how to behave." Blake acted as if his behavior was better than Ace's.
"Ops! I forgot about this." Alvin covered his mouth and made fun of Ace. "He even doesn't know who his mother is, so I think it's normal for him to act like that."
"I think his father is a bad person. That's why he doesn't know who his mother is." Blake added fuel to the fire.
"Maybe, his father is a gigolo. Haha." Alvin laughed after insulting Ace's father.
Ace's face darkened.
Even though he could still control himself, but everyone knew he was angry because it was written on his handsome face.
"How dare you insult Ace's father!"
"Tch! The children of the Riley family are the worse."
"I promise I won't buy any products from the Riley family anymore from today onwards."
"I also won't visit their restaurant and hotel from now on!"
"I will ask my nephew to resign from their restaurant later."
"I regret visiting their restaurant and hotel."
"We should report this to city mistress."
"Yes. We should report this."
The anger within them grew bigger when Alvin and Blake started humiliating Ace's father.
"Leader, give me an order. I want to kill him so badly!" Mia could no longer suppress her anger because a weakling like Blake and Alvin dared to insult their leader and their leader's parents.
"Leader, choose me."
"Leader, give me an order."
"Leader, let me kill him."
One by one, his underlings voiced out their desire to kill Blake and Alvin.
However, Ace ignored them and walked closer to Blake. "Let's settle this with our fists."
"Oho! So, you chose to fight me, huh? Are you sure you want to fight me?" in Blake's eyes, Ace was only a weak boy toy, so Ace's choice was funny.
After all, there was no way a weak boy toy would win against him, a powerful awakener at the Master rank.
"Yes." Ace responded.
"Haha." Blake laughed. "The weak boy toy chose to fight the mighty me? Haha. Brother, did you hear it?"
"Haha." Alvin laughed too.
"Hey, are you going to fight me with your fist or mouth?" Ace inquired.
"Fuck! Let's fight!" Blake uttered.
"Brother, beat him up!" Alvin roared. "Beat his handsome face!"
"I will show you the difference between the weak you and the mighty me!" after saying that, Blake retrieved his hammer from his space ring and rushed toward Ace.
"Ace!" all women, who seduced Ace earlier, put on worried faces.
Unlike these women, his underlings had calm faces because they knew their leader would win the fight.
"You made a stupid choice, Ace." Alvin's lips curled up into a grin when he saw his brother dashing toward Ace.
"Die, boy toy!" Blake swung his hammer.
But before his hammer landed on Ace's body, Ace disappeared and appeared behind him.
'Huh?'
The expression of deep shock blossomed on Blake's face when Ace suddenly appeared behind him.
'How? How can he move so fast like that?'
Previously, he thought he would defeat Ace instantly because Ace was a weak boy toy in his eyes.
This was the reason why he was stunned when Ace suddenly appeared behind him.
"You are so slow and…weak." After saying that, Ace channeled his energy from his awakening points to his right hand.
Boom!
Thunderous sound echoed when Blake fell to the ground.
*Silence.
The entire area turned into a dead silence when they saw Blake pass out on the ground.
Previously, they thought Ace would get beaten up by Blake because he was famous for only having a handsome face, but they were wrong.
They were utterly wrong because Ace was the winner of the fight.
He defeated Blake!
He even won in an overwhelming way.
One move!
He only needed one move to defeat Blake!
It was as if Blake was the famous weak young man, not Ace!
"How? How could he defeat my brother? How?" Alvin found it hard to believe what he was seeing.
He could accept that he got beaten up by Ace, but he could not accept that Ace could defeat his brother.
His brother was an awakener at the Master rank, so he should not have lost to Ace.
He should have beaten Ace until he begged for his life, so how?
How could Ace defeat his brother?
Wasn't he only a weak boy toy?
Wasn't he only a young man who only had a handsome face?
Wasn't he only a young man hiding behind the city mistress' power?
So how?
HOW???
HOW??
Like Alvin, all the women, who seduced Ace before, were also stunned because the result of the fight was different from what they had previously thought.
Of course, they were thrilled because they hated Blake.
They were just shocked because Ace could defeat Blake in a fight. After all, they did not know that Ace was a powerful awakener.
Unlike Alvin, Ace's underlings could still act normally because they knew something like this would happen.
Even though Blake was an awakener at the Master rank, but their leader was not an ordinary awakener.
He was an Aeris!
He was the chosen one!
And he was someone loved by the heavens!
In front of the chosen one, all ordinary awakeners at the same rank were nothing, so it was normal if their leader could defeat Blake easily.
If they wanted to defeat Ace, there were only two ways.
First, they had to gang up on him with awakeners at the same rank, and second, they had to bring someone one rank above him.
Otherwise, their leader would win the fight 99.99 %.
After all, their leader was an Aeris, someone who was destined to stand at the top of the hierarchy.
"No! Stop!" Alvin screamed when he saw Ace swinging his sword.
*Slash…
Ace cut off Blake's right arm.
Not only did he cut off Blake's right arm, but he also destroyed it so that Blake would lose his right arm forever.
"How dare you cut off my brother's right hand? How dare you!" Alvin's eyes were bloodshot.
However, Ace ignored Alvin because Blake insulted his father earlier.
'No. This is not enough. I'm not satisfied with this.'
He raised his sword high again, intending to cut off Blake's head.
But when his sword was close to Blake's neck, he stopped because he suddenly remembered Scarlett's words.
"Ace, please don't kill someone in my city." Scarlett uttered.
'No! I can't kill him in public.'
He did not want to ruin Scarlett's reputation.
'I will kill him when he is out of the city.'
With that idea in mind, Ace decided to cripple Blake, ending his career as an awakener.
"No!" Alvin screamed again.
His elder brother was the only hope of his family.
Now that Ace had crippled him, the possibility of raising his family status was almost nil.
"Ace!" Alvin's eyes gleamed with terrifying sharpness as he stared at Ace.
If gaze could kill people, Ace would have been dead by now because his gaze was filled with anger and hatred.
Ace stored his sword in his space ring and uttered, "So noisy! Mia, cut off his right hand."
"Understood, leader." Mia walked toward Alvin with a happy face because she wanted to teach him a lesson since earlier.
Bang!
After kicking his subordinate, Mia cut off Alvin's right arm.
"Agghh…" A soul-piercing howl of pain reverberated in the entire area.
