Kayson alighted from the Porche and waved at Jared and his companions.
Their driver, terrified by the scene, fled immediately and abandoned his car.
Jared and his companions were surrounded by more than ten other cars, from which twenty-odd men alighted. All of them exuded a fearsome aura.
Left without a choice, Jared and his companions got out of their taxi.
At the sight of Flaxseed, Kayson ranted, “You old b*stard, I'm going to beat you till you grovel for mercy for what you did to me.”
Unfazed by the threat, Flaxseed was about to hurl a torrent of abuse when Jared stopped him.
“Mr. Zagorski, we didn't mean to offend you. In order to prevent any further misunderstandings, I hope you can let us pass,” Jared said cordially.
After scrutinizing Jared from head to toe, Kayson said with contempt, “Who do you think you are? Since when is it your place to speak?”
“I'm Jared Chance. Haven't you heard of me before?” Jared asked flatly.
Jared's name was well known across the martial arts world. Moreover, Kayson had boarded the same flight as them to Jadeborough. It was a given that he had heard of the former.
“So, you're Jared Chance. The same guy who didn't bother to show the Warriors Alliance any respect?” Kayson exclaimed in shock.
“That's me!” Jared nodded.
He assumed that Kayson, after hearing his name, would back down out of respect.
Unexpectedly, Kayson sneered, “I have long heard about you, the young star of the martial arts world, but I think it's all a lie. Why don't we spar? I'll let you go if you beat me.”
Kayson, surprisingly, wanted to challenge Jared.
Jared sniggered in response. He didn't know what to say.
This guy is unbelievably naïve to think that a lowly Martial Arts Marquis like him can take me on!
Flaxseed broke into hearty laughter. “Kid, you'd better wise up to who you're up against. Jared can easily defeat you with one hand tied behind his back.”
“Hmph, words mean nothing. Prove yourself with actions!” Kayson retorted.
When he saw the contemptuous look on Kayson's face, Flaxseed suggested, “Jared, why don't you kick his ass with one hand so that we don't have to waste any more time?”
Jared shot Flaxseed a look of annoyance. Why is he making decisions on my behalf?
“You should just go home. I'm not going to hold it against you since your father runs this city. Anyone else who dared challenge me would have long been turned into a corpse,” Jared replied in a nonchalant tone.
“Damn it! You're looking down on me, aren't you?”
Kayson's aura exploded from his body as he spoke.
He clenched his fists, and a unique bluish light began to glow from them.
Following the loud roar of a battle cry, Kayson leaped into the air and launched a double-fisted punch.
At once, a terrifying aura engulfed Jared and his companions.
It seemed that Kayson wasn't just gunning for Jared, but all of them at once.
Realizing what was going on, Jared allowed his aura to explode instantaneously, causing a sonic boom to thunder through the air. The massive shockwave that resulted threw Kayson back immediately.
“I'm not going to hold back if you continue down this path.”
Jared was infuriated by Kayson's persistence.
Despite the warning, Kayson scowled in response. “You're not some young star of the martial arts world. To me, you're nothing but an idiot. Come at me now if you dare.”
Jared frowned in response, and the aura he emitted intensified.
After seeing what Jared was capable of, Kayson refrained from striking again.
“Step aside!”
Jared was enraged to see Kayson blocking his way and yet didn't move to attack.
The moment he finished, he appeared right in front of his opponent.
