    “Pift!”


    Blood spurted from stair’s mouth.


    Emmett bellowed. “Father! Mr. Shields, we, the Ginger family, admit defeat…


    “The Ginger family concedes. The martial arts tournament is over!”

    What a pity! It was unclear whether Soren did it on purpose, but when he made the announcement, he


    deliberately left a three-second pause.


    For stair, who hadpletely lost his ability to resist, three seconds was lethal.


    Travis’ murderous intent was fully revealed.


    He nned to use these three seconds to annihte the Ginger family, leaving them no chance.


    whatsoever to rise again.


    Воот!


    A fist imbued with raw, frenzied power was hurled toward stair, who had already fallen to the


    ground. Amidst the angry and terrified screams of the Ginger family, a figure suddenly shot out from


    their direction.


    Boom!


    Travis’ punch, brimming with unparalleled ferocity, gave everyone a single impression. That’s ruthless!


    Evidently, Travis had absolutely no intention of leaving even a sliver of opportunity for the Ginger family.


    It was clear to everyone because when Soren was about to dere the end of the martial arts


    tournament, not only did Travis not stop, but heunched an even more frenzied attack.


    This increasingly made everyone realize that the Houghton family was not to be messed with.


    Everyone thought that in the future in Juxshire, it was necessary to cater more to the wishes of the


    Houghton family. Otherwise, the end result would certainly be more tragic than stair’s.


    Just when everyone thought there would be bloodshed on the spot, a figure suddenly shot out from the


    direction of the Ginger family, rushing onto the stone tform. Immediately after, he pulled stair


    away, causing Travis’ attack to miss.


    The scene fell silent for a moment. Who is that young


    man?


    Coughing up blood, stair thought he was truly going to die under Travis’ fist. Seeing the person

    who saved him, he said in a weak voice, “Thank you, Mr. Lund… For saving my life….


    “Don’t speak!”


    First, Emrys sealed stair’s heart meridian with an acupuncture needle, controlling the energy and


    blood that was ebbing away from his b*dy. Only then did he rise to his feet and look toward. Travis,


    asking. “Do you intend to kill someone?”


    Travis was left stunned after his attack missed.


    In the situation moments earlier, stair was almost certainly facing death. Travis could never have


    imagined that someone could actually save stair at the critical moment.


    When he heard Emrys’s interrogation, the shock in his heart deepened even saved stair is


    surprisingly young!

    Steadying his nerves, Travis said with feigned calmness, “In the world of martial arts, idents


    happen. Life and death are part of the norm.”


    “Didn’t you hear that the Ginger family has already admitted defeat?”


    “Apologies, but I can’t afford to be distracted during a fight. I couldn’t hear the voices from the


    audience. Unless the umpire deres the match over, it’s impossible for me to stop,” Travis stated, his


    argument reasonable and justified.


    Emrys didn’t question him any further. Instead, he suddenly turned his gaze toward Soren on the side,


    sneering coldly, “You, the pest of the Martial Arts Alliance, are indeed the epitome of fairness and


    justice!”


    Soren’s face changed instantly. He thundered, “What did you say?”


    “What did I say?” Emrys continued to sneer, “On the surface, it looked like you were confiscating.


    Travis’ secret weapon, but in reality, you secretly handed him a pill that could instantly enhance his


    cultivation base. Is this what you call fairness and justice?”


    His voice echoed throughout the entire square.


    Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.


    In reality, they had sensed something was wrong from the beginning. If Travis was truly a powerful


    Manifestor, he wouldn’t have needed to use secret weapons when he couldn’t win. Wouldn’t it have


    been better if Travis had simply revealed his true strength?


    Many people had already spected that Travis might have taken some kind of pill. However, even if


    they had figured it out, they were afraid to voice their suspicions, and some even felt a sense of


    unease.


    That was because even if they could identify the issue, it was impossible for Soren to ignore it. Yet,


    Soren acted as if nothing had happened. This indicated that Soren was indeed colluding with Travis.

    That meant that Vivian offended someone she shouldn’t have. She felt so regretful that she wanted to


    pop some pills to calm herself down.


    Seeing this, Keh snapped, “Look at what you’ve done. Our partnership with Amirate Corporation


    has fallen through. Do you know how much thepany will lose?”


    Vivian shivered. However, she wasn’t thinking about thepany’s losses, but Grace. She had


    offended Grace. If Grace wanted to settle the score in the future, it would be as easy as crushing an


    ant.


    “Mr. Williams, Gina was the one that caused this. It has nothing to do with me. Now that Gina has been


    fired, please calm down.”


    Keh sighed helplessly upon hearing this.


    Now that things havee to this, what was done was done.


    “Forget it. Leave.”


    Vivian felt relieved and left the office dejectedly.


    As soon as she stepped out, she made a phone call. “Prepare some luxurious gifts for me. It must be


    the top-notch ones. I’lle pick them up right away.”


    After hanging up, she couldn’t care less about her work and left thepany quickly.


    On the other hand, Acme Group organized a party after the signing ceremony.


    As the most honored guests of the party, Grace and Xander naturally enjoyed the highest level of


    hospitality.


    During the party, various businesspeople from Dunhill came over to make a toast to them.


    “Ms. Lewis is truly outstanding at business and everything else. I really admire you!”


    “It’s a blessing for Dunhill to have Amirate Corporation here, and we look forward to working with you in


    the future,”

    “We’ve all witnessed Ms. Lewis’ capabilities. I hope I have a chance to work with Amirate Corporation


    too.”


    Grace smiled and silently epted their praise as she downed a few more drinks.


    Xander noticed her face was red and helped her drink a few sses of wine.


    At this moment, someone teased, “Ms. Lewis, you have such a wonderful partner. Mr. Fulton is like the


    finishing touch to the beautiful painting of life!”


    Grace blushed even more.


    She nced at Xander, disappointed to see him maintain a straight face.


    However, the next moment, Xander said, “It’s an honor to stay by her side.”


    Grace shed a bright smile and tugged at Xander. “I’m tired. Let’s go outside for some fresh air.”


    He agreed and exchanged greetings with the surrounding guests. Then, the two slipped out of the

    They took in the fresh air, and Grace felt much more awake.


    She turned to Xander and asked, “Are you bothered by what they said?”


    Xander raised an eyebrow in confusion.


    But when his eyes met hers, he gently shook his head and said, “Actually, they read my mind. ”


    Grace’s heart pounded. It felt loud on this quiet night.


    Xander looked at her affectionately, as if he had a lot to say.


    But in the end, he just said, “Gracie, when can you give me a chance?”
