The resolute voice reverberated.
Jack exerted both his legs strongly and its muscles started to firm up. All the strength was unleashed immediately.
All the people were stunned as they looked in disbelief when he slowly rose to stand.
“You…” The person who pressed down on Jack’s shoulders was shocked. Immediately his right hand tensed up and forcibly tried to press Jack to kneel on the ground.
But now, his expression changed drastically when he tried to exert his strength. His eyes were filled with horror. How could Jack be so strong? No matter how much strength he used, he didn’t seem to be able to stop Jack. He could only slow the speed of Jack’s rise. Though it was slow, he simply could not stop it!
As one of the Twelve Golden Guards, he had not experienced such helplessness for many years. All this while he had been the one that over-matched others and gave them the helpless feeling. The man’s face was red with anger after he overcame his shock. Jack’s ability to stand up became his greatest embarrassment!
“Ah!” The man raised his left arm, tensed his muscles, and struck down upon Jack’s shoulders like a hammer with a loud thud.
Jack’s body shuddered as his half-raised knee sank slightly and then he arrested its descend.
Achilles and the other seven were shocked with their eyes wide open. Jack's strength … was totally different from what they were told about Jack’s abilities! Even their spirits began to waiver at this point.
It was dead quiet in the factory and the air seemed to congeal. Achilles and the rest did not stop him and neither did they say a word. It became a matchup between that man and Jack. There were no skills involved nor any fighting. It was purely a contest of their strength!
This went on for five seconds before Jack scoffed, “You are unworthy of stopping me!”
Kaboom! This shocked Achilles and the rest. The person who was trying to force Jack down started to perspire at his temples. His muscles firmed up and his veins throbbed as he exerted all his strength. But when Jack said that, his expression changed drastically and his hands started to tremble.
That strength was amazingly strong and was transferred from Jack’s shoulders towards the man’s arms. The man was horrified. It looked like the man had seen a ghost. How did this fellow have such strength?
“Fuck the hell… off!” Jack thundered. His legs extended strongly and his strength erupted.
Whoosh! The swift standing up caused the clothes to flutter. The man who was pressing Jack down was thrown aside by this sudden burst of energy. The man grunted after he regained his balance. He continued to stare with his eyes wide open when he saw Jack stand up. A rush of emotions stirred within him. Under the exertion of his strength and the subsequent counter by Jack made his arms tremble.
Silence.
