Hearing this, Nathan felt a little astounded.
Coney and the others exchanged looks of consternation with one another. Who was this disrespectful jerk, and where had he come from?
Nathan turned around and gazed at Colin. “This person here says he wants to teach me a good lesson. What do you think of it?”
Colin looked contemptuously at Adrian. In a rather stiff voice, he said, “You aren't worthy enough to have a go at Mr. Cross yet. Why don't
I teach you a lesson on his behalf?”
Adrian felt a wave of anger wash over him. He roared, “You fool! You must be tired of living!”
With that, he leaped off the ground and lunged at Colin with his fist, looking like a berserk lion
that had just been freed from its cage.
However, Colin didn't even bother to avoid his blow. Instead, he lunged forward to meet Adrian's fist with his own.
Bang!
Their fists crashed against each other, and both Colin and Adrian staggered backward from the force.
Truthfully, Colin felt a little shocked. This guy's abilities were far beyond his expectations.
Adrian felt rather stunned as well. He was a well-regarded fighter in the West, but here in Brimmopolis, even a wiry bodyguard like this could hold his own against him.
In a low voice, he growled, “Again!”
With that, he lunged at Colin once again with a deranged, murderous look on his face.
Adrian was by no means a weak fighter, but Colin was far steadier than he was. The experience he brought to each fight wasn't something Adrian could rival.
The battle ahead was sure to be a long and bloody one.
However, Colin quickly broke through Adrian's defenses and landed a kick on Adrian's chest. Adrian flew through the air and landed right in front of Nathan with a loud crash.
Nathan smiled gently down at Adrian from where he was seated on the chair. In a slightly amused tone, he said, “You can't even beat my subordinate, and you want to dream of defeating me? Well, you can dream on! Go home and practice more.”
Adrian was furious. He growled like a beast that was about to go on a rampage.
Jumping up from the ground, he leaped at Nathan with his fist extended. “Die!” he roared.
Seeing this, the bystanders gasped loudly in horror.
Nathan merely frowned slightly and returned his punch.
Bang!
Their fists met in a violent crash.
Crack...
The frightening sound of splitting bones resonated through the room.
In the span of a few seconds, the bones in
Adrian's arm had been crushed to dust by Nathan's fist.
With a loud cry of agony, he flew through the air and landed on the ground painfully.
