Their figures collided briefly before Sylvia was thrown backward once more.
Her brows furrowed as she coughed up a mouthful of blood. It had been a long time since she last fared this badly in a fight.
Ace was even more powerful than the generals of the enemy forces she encountered in battle along Diatoran's borders!
It would be hard for her to subdue him. Now she understood how he became the chairman of the TMAA.
"Hurry up and tell Caspian to show himself! I don't want to waste my time!" Ace demanded with a scornful scoff.
"You!" Sylvia was infuriated that someone was disregarding her.
But before she could say anything else, a figure appeared before her.
"Caspian!"
"I'll deal with him, Sylvia," Caspian said.
Since Ace was the chairman of the TMAA, he certainly wasn't a mediocre martial arts expert.
"Ace Garland, right? They'll be memorializing your death on this day next year!" Caspian declared with a smile.
Ace guffawed. This was his first time being threatened after becoming the chairman.
But soon, his laughter faltered, and his expression hardened as he asked, "You're Caspian Lynch?"
Caspian had seized the Eldorian Scroll fragment and killed Nixon, so there was no way he was just an ordinary person.
"Who are you?" Ace questioned as he eyed Caspian.
"You're not good enough to know who I am," Caspian responded with a faint chuckle.
Though he had spoken lightly, his words were a slap to Ace's face.
"Nixon and five thousand of my people died at your hands. That's reason enough for me to kill you. However, I'm a generous man, so I'll give you a chance now. Hand over the Eldorian Scroll fragment, and I'll let bygones be bygones," Ace offered with an insincere smile.
He knew that Caspian was a rare talent. If he could somehow get Caspian to join the TMAA, he could expand his power and influence even further.
"Hah! Are you dreaming? Would you dare to take it even if I offered it to you?" Caspian retorted with a contemptuous sneer.
He couldn't believe someone would act this arrogantly in front of him. Who did Ace think he was?
"You've got quite a lot of guts, but since you're not wise enough to know what's good for you, don't blame me for not going easy on you!
"The Eldorian Scroll fragment will be mine once I kill you, and I'll raze Southlake City to the ground! Anyone who dares to offend the TMAA will pay with their life!" Ace announced with a maniacal laugh.
Caspian's expression grew icy as a gust of powerful energy exploded out from him.
"Let's see if you're capable of doing that, then!" Caspian growled as he pulled out his Diatanium dagger.
At the same time, a deafening sound rang out.
Ace's expression hardened. The gust of energy alone proved that Caspian was not to be underestimated!
Thus, he dared not let his guard down. He mustered all his strength and prepared himself for the fight against Caspian.
Sparks flew as their blades clashed.
Due to the wind stirred up by their fight, small craters began to appear on the ground.
The fight between Ace and Caspian only intensified, and after dozens of exchanged blows, one of them was knocked backward.
The figure crashed onto the ground, looking pathetic and stirring up a cloud of dust.
It was Ace, the chairman of the TMAA, who had been knocked away.
Meanwhile, Caspian remained standing with one arm behind his back, looking like the undisputed winner.
"How could this be? Even Mr. Garland can't defeat him?" Hector exclaimed. He was thunderstruck. If he had not witnessed the fight, he would never have believed that this was the outcome.
"Mr. Garland!" Hector shouted as he rushed over to Ace. The others from the TMAA also crowded in to check on Ace's injuries.
Ace was lying in a crater on the ground, his body littered with wounds. His blood had soaked through his clothes.
He couldn't contain his emotions. How could he have lost the fight—and in such devastating fashion?
