Chapter 157
Frederick frowned as he nced at Jonathan. “Are you trying to convince me by reasoning? We both
practicebat arts. You know that I won''t get swayed by others'' words easily.”
Jonathan felt a bit helpless. He said, “I am not trying to convince you. However, although we are
fighters, we should respect human lives. Our lives are precious, after all. We have no bad blood
between us, so what is the point of fighting each other to death?”
Hearing that, Frederick scoffed. “You are wrong. I can see you are still at the early stage of Nascent
Soul, but I am already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. I am ny percent certain I can kill you.
You''re just trying to conceal your fear with words. But today, I must kill you for Catherine.” Right after he
finished talking, a ferocious look filled his eyes.
With a sigh, Jonathan said, “If you don''t know your limitations, you can''t live your life well. Frederick,
don''t worry. I will certainly fight you today, but I have to tell you that you''ve made two mistakes. Firstly,
Catherine doesn''t even care about you. If she does care about you even just a little, she won''t let you
risk your life here. She knows that you are doomed if you fight with me. Secondly, Old Mr. Harrington is
willing to marry Catherine to me, which means that I am valuable. The Harrington family is very
influential, and Old Mr. Harrington is its head. Certainly, he has sharp judgment. I can''t believe you''re
so dense. This can only mean that you are an idiot!”
“How dare you!” Frederick was infuriated. Right at that moment, he made his move.
Frederick was one of the Quartet Dragons, and he practiced the Universal Punch technique. Universal
Punch was a fierce move. Once used, the person''s arms would be strong and flexible like two
spears, making the person unstoppable.
Frederick dashed forward with his arm extended, his fist as powerful as a python attacking. In the blink
of an eye, it was already inches away from Jonathan''s throat.
Jonathan had sharp eyes. Immediately, he could tell that his opponent had a trick up his sleeves.
Frederick seemed to be aiming for his throat, but if Jonathan dodged, the former would surely hit his
chest.
After all, his arms were very flexible.
Jonathan couldn''t care about it too much. He took a step back and used Big Handprint to grab
Frederick''s fist. Frederick didn''t dodge. Instead, he snorted and started attacking Jonathan''s Big
Handprint fiercely. Little did he know that Jonathan''s Big Handprint was only a trick. Just then,
Jonathan used his ultimate move—the Mongrel Attack.
Out of nowhere, a kick was thrown against Frederick.
Thud!
Frederick froze for a moment. He didn''t expect that at all. Hurriedly, he turned his body and dodged
Jonathan''s kick with his Subtle Steps technique. After that, he moved to the left of Jonathan rapidly and
attacked with Double Dragon Punches.
His punches came from up and down, and they were very powerful.
The violent bouncing force of his Universal Punch was utilized to the fullest. Once his fists touched
Jonathan, thetter''s internal organs would be ruptured. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Just then, Frederick saw a shadow sh before him, and he lost sight of Jonathan the next second. It
turned out that while Frederick was using the Subtle Steps technique, Jonathan used the Shadow Step
technique.
“Great Sage Seal!” In a split second, Jonathan let out the Great Sage Force Field. The terrifying Great
Sage Seal charged toward Frederick.
Frederick felt something push down on his head, then everything went ck. Immediately, his face
turned pale. Sensing he was in grave danger, he moved forward swiftly with Subtle Steps.
After fighting with Jonathan, he finally understood how terrifying the man was.
Right after Frederick used Subtle Steps, Jonathan used Antelope Rhythm to block his way. “Rolling
Thunder Punch!”
Jonathan''s fist came fast, carrying an astounding and powerful force with it.
Fradarick frownad as ha ncad at Jonathan. “Ara you trying to convinca ma by raasoning? Wa both
practicabat arts. You know that I won''t gat swayad by othars'' words aasily.”
Jonathan falt a bit halss. Ha said, “I am not trying to convinca you. Howavar, although wa ara
fightars, wa should raspact human livas. Our livas ara pracious, aftar all. Wa hava no bad blood
batwaan us, so what is tha point of fighting aach othar to daath?”
Haaring that, Fradarick scoffad. “You ara wrong. I can saa you ara still at tha aarly staga of Nascant
Soul, but I am alraady in tha mid staga of Nascant Soul. I am ninaty parcant cartain I can kill you.
You''ra just trying to concaal your faar with words. But today, I must kill you for Catharina.” Right aftar ha
finishad talking, a farocious look fid his ayas.
With a sigh, Jonathan said, “If you don''t know your limitations, you can''t liva your lifa wall. Fradarick,
don''t worry. I will cartainly fight you today, but I hava to tall you that you''va mada two mistakas. Firstly,
Catharina doasn''t avan cara about you. If sha doas cara about you avan just a lit, sha won''tt you
risk your lifa hara. Sha knows that you ara doomad if you fight with ma. Sacondly, Old Mr. Harrington is
willing to marry Catharina to ma, which maans that I am valua. Tha Harrington family is vary
influantial, and Old Mr. Harrington is its haad. Cartainly, ha has sharp judgmant. I can''t baliava you''ra
so dansa. This can only maan that you ara an idiot!”
“How dara you!” Fradarick was infuriatad. Right at that momant, ha mada his mova.
Fradarick was ona of tha Quartat Dragons, and ha practicad tha Univarsal Punch tachniqua. Univarsal
Punch was a fiarca mova. Onca usad, tha parson''s arms would ba strong and xi lika two
spaars, making tha parson unstoppa.
Fradarick dashad forward with his arm axtandad, his fist as powarful as a python attacking. In tha blink
of an aya, it was alraady inchas away from Jonathan''s throat.
Jonathan had sharp ayas. Immadiataly, ha could tall that his opponant had a trick up his avas.
Fradarick saamad to ba aiming for his throat, but if Jonathan dodgad, tha formar would suraly hit his
chast.
Aftar all, his arms wara vary xi.
Jonathan couldn''t cara about it too much. Ha took a stap back and usad Big Handprint to grab
Fradarick''s fist. Fradarick didn''t dodga. Instaad, ha snortad and startad attacking Jonathan''s Big
Handprint fiarcaly. Lit did ha know that Jonathan''s Big Handprint was only a trick. Just than,
Jonathan usad his ultimata mova—tha Mongral Attack.
Out of nowhara, a kick was thrown against Fradarick.
Thud!
Fradarick froza for a momant. Ha didn''t axpact that at all. Hurriadly, ha turnad his body and dodgad
Jonathan''s kick with his Sub Staps tachniqua. Aftar that, ha movad to thaft of Jonathan rapidly and
attackad with Dou Dragon Punchas.
His punchas cama from up and down, and thay wara vary powarful.
Tha vint bouncing forca of his Univarsal Punch was utilizad to tha fust. Onca his fists touchad
Jonathan, thattar''s intarnal organs would ba rupturad.
Just than, Fradarick saw a shadow sh bafora him, and ha lost sight of Jonathan tha naxt sacond. It
turnad out that wh Fradarick was using tha Sub Staps tachniqua, Jonathan usad tha Shadow Stap
tachniqua.
“Graat Saga Saal!” In a split sacond, Jonathant out tha Graat Saga Forca Fiald. Tha tarrifying Graat
Saga Saal chargad toward Fradarick.
Fradarick falt somathing push down on his haad, than avarything want ck. Immadiataly, his faca
turnad p. Sansing ha was in grava dangar, ha movad forward swiftly with Sub Staps.
Aftar fighting with Jonathan, ha finally undarstood how tarrifying tha man was.
Right aftar Fradarick usad Sub Staps, Jonathan usad Antalopa Rhythm to block his way. “Rolling
Thundar Punch!”
Jonathan''s fist cama fast, carrying an astounding and powarful forca with it.
Completely caught off guard, Frederick couldn''t dodge. He could only fight back with Universal Punch.
Bang!
Their fists met. Jonathan''s fighting spirit was like indestructible gusts of wind, oveing Frederick''s
punch instantly.
At the force of their impact, Frederick staggered a few steps backward. He could feel his blood
churning inside his body.
Jonathan then bent his body andunched his attack swiftly with the Shadow Step technique once
again.
Although Jonathan had the upper hand now, it didn''t mean that he had already won the fight. If he
hesitated for a second, it would give Frederick the chance to calm himself down. Then, another tug of
war would ensue.
A fight between masters was like ying chess. Not one of them was willing to budge even a little.
Once anyone of them had the upper hand, they would take the advantage to attack until the other
person was defeated.
Jonathan''s Shadow Step was getting closer to perfection. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared
before Frederick like a phantom.
“Rolling Thunder Punch!”
Bang!
Frederick didn''t even have time to take a breather. Left with no choice, he could only take the punch.
Once again, he took three steps back.
In a sh, Jonathan threw another punch.
With that, Frederick was backed into a corner.
At that critical juncture, Frederick made a bold move. He turned toward the wall out of a sudden with
Subtle Steps and walked up the wall.
Because of that, Jonathan''s punch missed him.
Jonathan didn''t expect Frederick would choose to walk up the wall. After all, he could only stay on the
wall for a while, like everyone else. Once hended, he would reveal his weakness.
It was not rmended for fighters to stay in the air duringbat. As a matter of fact, it would be
difficult for even the strongest fighters to manifest their powers mid-air.
Nevertheless, Frederick did make a smart move. Since Jonathan had missed him, he got some time to
rest. Soon, Frederick''s eyes turned crimson, and an overwhelming aura burst out from him. With a kick,
he shot out an aggressive Universal Ultimate Punch.
Right at that moment, his fist headed ruthlessly toward Jonathan''s throat like a dragon springing out
from the clouds.
Faced with the strong killing aura, Jonathan couldn''t even open his eyes.
This move was made by Frederick out of rage. It was a burst of energy built up from his frustration.
Because of his anger, the Universal Ultimate Punch''s spirit and essence were fully and incredibly
manifested.
If Jonathan stepped back, he would lose his upper hand, and he would also be at a disadvantage.
A chill shed across Jonathan''s eyes as he suddenly bent his body like a snake.
The next second, Frederick eximed, “What?” Jonathan had disappeared. Yet, there was no way
Frederick would give up the chance to turn the tides. He immediately bent down and punched
downward.
Apparently, Jonathan hadin down on the floor in an eerie manner. When Frederick''s fist came toward
him, he wrapped his legs around Frederick''s arm.
Frederick had umted all his strength for this Universal Ultimate Punch. He hadunched his
attack when he came down from the wall, so he could no longer change his move.
Besides, the way Jonathan countered his attack was too odd.
In Frederick''s opinion, his own retaliation was wless. He could break down Jonathan''s spirit with just
a punch. Then, he would use Universal Ultimate Punch consecutively on thetter, just like how the
latter had forced him to a corner earlier.
Unfortunately, Jonathan didn''t retreat.
He constricted Frederick''s arm with his legs, stopping the Universal Ultimate Punch forcefully.
As Frederick was floating in mid-air, he couldn''t do anything.
At that instant, Jonathan unleashed his killing blow—the Crocodile Bite.
Crack!
Blood spurted out as Frederick''s arms broke. From where the blood wasing from, his bones could
be seen. The scene was extremely gory.
Jonathan then pressed his palm toward the ground and bounced up from the ground.
With that, Frederick fell to the ground painfully. As his arms were broken, his spirit was drained out of
him. He stood no chance to fight back anymore.
He could only lie there weakly, painting the ground red with his blood.
A look of approval shed across Yareth''s eyes as he witnessed the scene. He then said to Bruce,
“Quick, send Frederick to the hospital.”
“Alright, Old Mr. Harrington.”
Letting out a sigh, Jonathan nced at Catherine. Catherine remained expressionless as though
nothing had happened.
Seeing that, Jonathan was frustrated. What the f*ck? What kind of freak am I going to marry?
Mabel didn''t show any reaction, too. She had expected this to happen.
Although Frederick was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he achieved it because of the help given
by his family. On top of that, he was a simple-minded person. He had nothing to worry about, so his
progress was a lot faster. However, Frederick was undoubtedly not smart. His way ofbat was
worlds away from Jonathan''s.
When Jonathan said they had an equal chance to win, he was just being nice to Frederick.
Unfortunately, Frederick turned a deaf ear to him.
After Frederick was sent to the hospital, Yareth stood up and said, “Leave this ce for the servants to
tidy up. Let''s talk at the parlor.”
Hearing that, Jonathan, Mabel, and Catherine all stood up.
Once they reached the parlor, they sat down again.
The maid then served them freshly brewed coffee.
In an instant, the parlor was filled with the scent of freshly brewed coffee.
Jonathan said to Yareth, “Old Mr. Harrington, I was left with no choice for the incident earlier. Would it
cause any trouble to you?”
Yareth smiled. “The Harrington family is never afraid of trouble.”
At that, Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that he would offend the Langeton family.
Moreover, Jonathan had realized that he was still too weak. If he offended someone, he would surely
get into trouble.
Right after, Yareth added, “Jonathan, you should stay here for now. After three days, I will invite the
elders and the other members of the Harrington family to your wedding right here. As both of you are
fighters, I want to keep this low-key. You are okay with it, right?”
That was exactly what Jonathan wished for. “I''m fine with that,” he answered.
“Of course, you may invite your friends to your wedding, such as Mabel. She''s considered your
matchmaker, so it''s only right that she''s invited,” said Yareth.
With a smile, Mabel promised, “I will surely attend the wedding.”
“I will follow all of your arrangements, Old Mr. Harrington,” Jonathan told Yareth.
Hearing that, Yareth chuckled. “You can''t just listen to me. You guys should have your own opinions,
too.”
Jonathan smiled helplessly. As if they would matter!
Since Jonathan didn''t make anyments, Yareth decided to change the topic. “Jonathan, have a
walk around with Catherine to get yourself used to here. I have something to discuss with Mabel.”
“All right!” With that, Jonathan and Catherine stood up and walked out of the mansion.
Outside, there was a forest with a path in the middle.
The scenery was beautiful.
In the strong wind, Catherine''s hair fluttered, making her look exceptionally pretty and charming.
Slowly, they walked forward.
At the thought that Catherine would not initiate the conversation, Jonathan blurted out, “Um,
Catherine...”
