The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 590

"Why not rest here for a while, and have some tea? Once Harper arrives, you can act against the opponents together. That way, it would ensure greater success," Vernon said.

The moment those words were spoken, the Duo of Doom erupted with intense killing intent, and their gazes toward Vernon grew hostile.

"So, you don't trust our strength? If that's the case, why call us here at all? Perhaps we should inform Mr. Benton right now and let you handle this problem on your own."

Vernon hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, no, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think the opponent is rather tricky, so I wanted to be cautious. After all, even Hound was taken down within minutes. Their strength is truly formidable."

Hearing this, the Duo of Doom immediately scoffed with disdain. "Being on the Tiger Ranking does mean they're decent fighters, but that doesn't mean everyone on it is in the same league. Someone like Hound, who ranks in the middle, is nowhere near our level.

"Each of us, alone, is ranked in the top 20. Together, we may not be invincible, but there aren't many who can beat us. Mr. Vernon, you don't understand the world of true powerhouses—and that's fine. Just watch and see for yourself."

As they spoke, the Duo of Doom stepped forward, their gazes locking onto Nolan and the others.

In a deep voice, they demanded, "Who here defeated Hound? Step forward and fight us now!"

To them, as long as they took down the strongest opponent, the rest were nothing more than weaklings—easily crushed and disposed of however they pleased.

At that moment, Scarlet slowly rose to his feet. He looked at the Duo of Doom and said indifferently, "And where did you two crawl out from? Are you here to seek death?"

If anything, Scarlet was even more arrogant than the Duo of Doom.
