The moment those words left Nolan's mouth, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
The Duo of Doom's expression shifted, and they couldn't help but take several steps back.
At that very moment, a tremendous, earth-shaking aura erupted from the distant street. Then, a figure shot toward the battlefield like lightning.
It was none other than Pierce!
The Duo of Doom might not know Scarlet, but there was no way they wouldn't recognize Pierce. Ranked fourth in the Tiger Ranking, with a reputation for being invincible, his strength was no joke.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes, they saw a mix of shock and intense fighting spirit.
When Pierce finally reached the center of the battlefield and stood still, the Duo of Doom had already retreated several steps. Their expressions were serious as they fixed their gaze on him.
"Pierce, it really is you!"
Upon hearing this, Pierce merely glanced at the Duo of Doom and said, "Yes, it's me. Now, step aside. You're not my match."
They hadn't even engaged in combat yet, so those words could easily be seen as dismissive, even insulting. Yet, coming from Pierce, no one could find anything wrong with it.
The Duo of Doom gritted their teeth and said, "Pierce, we've long wanted to experience your so-called 'invincible' strength for ourselves. So, you've come at the perfect time. Let's battle it out!"
At this moment, Scarlet was filled with excitement. He laughed loudly and said, "Alright! Now it's two against two—this is fair. Come on, let's fight!"
However, before Scarlet could fully enjoy the moment, Pierce gave him a light glance and said, "Step back."
The smile on Scarlet's face immediately vanished. Though clearly agitated, he didn't dare to argue when he saw Pierce's indifferent expression. With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly made his way back to Nolan's side with a huff.
