“Would you look at that! He must’ve endlessly trained himself to launch such a perfected punch!” said Gerald as he continued observing the fight from the side-lines.
Gerald had arrived at that conclusion since Damian’s skills weren’t all that different from all the other people he had previously killed. However, Damian was different from them since his execution of each of those skills was extremely powerful!
If Gerald had to guess, Damian had probably become a champion much earlier than Kaleb. After all, a champion’s inner strength naturally grew stronger the longer they had that title. In a way, it was just like wine. The longer it was left underground, the more exquisite the taste.
While both Kalen and Damian were akin to exquisite wine, Gerald knew that Kaleb wouldn’t be able to take Damian down.
After all, Gerald’s keen eyes had registered that though Kaleb was definitely more experienced in fighting, Damian’s inner strength was much greater than the old man’s.
By the time fifty rounds of non-stop battling had taken place, Kaleb was already stumbling slightly as he held a hand against his injured chest. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to take much more.
Meanwhile, Haven herself had been hiding within the woods near Benril Lake as she continued watching the fight that had been taking place for quite a while now.
She soon got the shock of her life when she felt a hand being placed on her shoulder, followed by a familiar voice saying, “So here you are, Haven! What are you doing here?”
Covering her mouth as she turned around to see who had said that, she immediately replied, “…Sis? Quintin? What are both of you doing here?”
“We came over because we were worried about you! What are you even looking at…?” asked Xareni.
“Shh! Quieter! Look there! While I can’t really see too clearly from here, isn’t that dad and Gerald over there?” whispered Haven excitedly.
“Would you just quit it already with that Gerald person? Can’t you see that a fight’s going on now? Listen, dad told me earlier that our family has an enemy that goes by the name of Damian Wake. Since dad is here, one of the two fighting men must be Damian! Thank god we caught up to you in time! Otherwise, you could’ve ruined all his plans!” replied Xareni, shocked to find out that they were currently standing so close to their family’s enemy.
Upon hearing that, all three of them exchanged glances before continuing to witness the fight. They didn’t dare to leave for fear that they may get caught in the process, consequently ruining their father’s plans.
“Master Theo doesn’t look like he can take much more, Mr. Crawford! You have to help him!” said Zander as he pointed at Damian.
