Meanwhile, Jared was in his seat at the Watanabe residence, seemingly putting on airs.


    Sitting opposite him was a Jetroinian with a mustache, d in a suit.


    “Good day, Mr. Chance. I''m Muto Shinichi, a messenger from Jetroina''s martial arts world,” he introduced himself as such.


    “Why have youe? Has the martial arts world of Jetroina finally chosen to yield?” said Jared with a faint smile.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    To be honest, he knew very well that that would not be the case. Muto might not havee to subjugate the martial arts world of


    Jetroina to him, but he would never throw away the opportunity to gross the former out.


    As expected, Muto''s visage did a one-eighty when he heard what Jared had said.


    Nevertheless, suppressing the disgust was his only option. He simply shook his head slightly. “No, Mr. Chance. I''m here to send


    you a duel invitation.”


    Speaking of which, he presented Jared with an exquisite invitation card.


    Instead of sparing a moment to look at the card, Jared tossed it aside. “Don''t waste my time. Just say it.”


    Seeing Jared''s arrogant demeanor, Muto did his best to contain the boiling rage within.


    “The countryfolks of Jetroina''s martial arts world were displeased with your massacre back at Jetroina. Because of that, Mr.


    Chance, Mr. Kuroki would like to challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to ept the invitation?” uttered Muto with a hint of


    contempt in his voice.


    It was his deliberate attempt to take a dig at Jared, hoping to get on thetter''s nerves and coerce him into taking up the


    challenge.


    Considering how highly esteemed Kawasaki was, he was worried that Jared might actually end up cowering in fear.


    Though taken aback at first, hearing those words made Jared sneer, “Don''t speak to me with such a tone. Kawasaki may be


    Jetroina''s whizz, but to me, he''s a nobody. If it''s a duel he wants, I''ll dly humor him.”


    A pucker formed between Muto''s brows. “What insolence! Mr. Kuroki''s the top samurai in our country, and he''s been around for


    nearly two hundred years. He''s basically immortal. How dare you speak of him that way!”


    “Immortal, you say? Have you everid eyes on one before? Other things aside, you''re but a messenger. Some nerve you must


    have tosh out at me.”


    The next thing Muto knew, an immense aura was already exuding from Jared''s body, manifesting itself as horrifying pressure


    and zipping in his direction.


    Muto was a martial artist himself, but in the face of Jared''s domineering energy, he was nothing more than a minion.


    Thud! He was pressed down to his knees under Jared''s heel, just like that.


    “| won''t kill you today, but I''ll have you know what a true immortal looks like.”


    With that, Jared stopped channeling his power, allowing Muto to rise to his feet with trembling legs.


    By then, thetter''s face was already devoid of color.


    “V-Very well, then. Mr. Kuroki will be expecting your arrival at the crater of Fujio Mountain three days from now.”


    As soon as Muto said his piece, he was all ready to leave when a voice rang out.


    “Wait a minute.”


    Fandor stepped inside and stopped


    Muto in his tracks. “Since it''s a duel


    invite, why did vgeyallitate te fal


    say pabditthe time and ce? If


    you''ve set the time, then we should


    be the ones deciding the ce.”

    The corner of Muto''s eyes twitched a


    little as he listened to that demand.


    Should he let Jareghetotise &


    venueakaWasaki would certainly not


    be showing up, given that thetter


    had insisted on staying put at the


    mountain. Please read the original

    Then came Muto''s goading. “Why? Is it because you''re afraid that you can''t even climb up the crater of Fujio Mountain?”


    “Enough with your reverse psychology. I''ll do as you wish. Get lost, now.”


    Jared waved his hands in annoyance.


    Muto was overjoyed to see Jared agreeing to the arrangement. He left in a hurry for fear that Jared might go back on his word.


    Fandor, in turn, voiced his concern,


    “You''ve fallen into their trap, Mr.


    Chance. That Kawasaki may be


    strong, but his powe aaiitsuftdeOnde


    heyeauas the mtain, Most of his


    martial energy stems from the


    moltenva in the volcano, which is


    precisely why he''s been living in


    seclusion near the crater. I''ve made a


    great deal of effort just to get my


    hands on this piece of information.”

    It seemed that Fandor had long anticipated a battle between Jared and Kawasaki. No wonder he had been scouting out all sorts


    of information about Kawasaki day in and day out.
