“Take her away from here? You’ve got a big mouth! If I say you’re not leaving, then you’ll stay right here like a good boy!” Not far away, Aiden Green heard Evan Lin’s words and sneered, his eyes cold and menacing.
“So you think your Inner Strength lets you stand so calm in front of me? Today I’ll break your arms and legs myself, make you a cripple for life, put a dog collar on your neck, and keep you outside my door as a guard mutt. Not a bad fate!”
Irene Xu’s mind was in chaos. The oppressive force battering her had vanished at some point—all of it blocked by Evan Lin.
“Turn around. Don’t look back. Walk out.”
Evan Lin spoke again, his voice calm. This time, Irene Xu found herself obeying, as if his words carried a strange magic that made her trust him and feel safe.
Irene Xu turned around, silently counting each step, moving carefully and nervously, never once looking back.
Evan Lin’s face remained calm as he stared at Aiden Green: “You won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun.”
“Ha ha ha! In all of Capitalview, I, Aiden Green, have never heard anyone dare talk to me like that. You’re the first! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, people will think I’m useless—like any random mutt could crap on my head!”
Aiden Green laughed wildly, the force around him growing fiercer. The nearest bystanders—Zhou Hui and Manager Ren—were knocked to the ground by the shockwaves.
But Zhou Hui’s face was excited, not angry. “Master Green really deserves to be Master Baiyun’s disciple—the Vajra Realm is terrifying!”
Ordinary trash like that is just an ant before Master Green—trying to block a car with a mantis arm, way over their heads!
Zhou Hui kept flattering, practically itching to polish Green’s shoes.
The crowd, feeling the intense pressure from Aiden Green, all turned pale and scattered, afraid of getting caught up in the chaos.
Many stared at the calm-faced youth standing before Green, with eyes full of surprise, pity, and a bit of sympathy.
I am Aiden Green, disciple of Master Baiyun! Today I’ll break your limbs and turn you into a cripple for life—let you know there’s always someone stronger out there! Don’t think just because you’ve trained some Inner Strength as a kid you can act like you own the place!
Aiden Green roared, then suddenly shot toward Evan Lin like the wind.
Evan Lin stood like still water, no sadness, no joy, no fear—just a cold glint in his steady eyes.
Next moment, Green was in front of him, all his force surging at Evan Lin. He clenched his fist and swung straight for Evan’s chest!
Is that kid scared stiff? Just standing there, not even running!
I think so too. Master Baiyun’s reputation is well deserved—even his disciple is this strong!
What a shame. That kid is still young but already has Inner Strength. Given time, he might reach the Vajra Realm! But fighting Master Green head-on today—really not a wise move.
A few spectators far away shook their heads and sighed, faces full of pity.
Look at Green—barely in his twenties. No one else in the world could match that kind of talent, right?” someone marveled.
Before he finished, someone beside him interrupted quietly: “That’s not true. I heard over in Haizhou, a real big shot appeared recently—now that’s a once-in-a-century genius.”
But his voice was too quiet, and everyone’s attention was fixed on Evan Lin and Aiden Green, so no one noticed what he said.
“This punch—I'll smash your ribs!” Green shouted coldly, his fist slamming toward Evan Lin’s chest.
To everyone watching, the youth just stood there, not moving at all.
Green’s fist was about to hit, and everyone thought the kid was doomed.
Meanwhile, Irene Xu had counted to eighteen. She looked ahead—just a few more steps to leave the manor.
She could hear the shouts and gasps behind her, and the wind roaring past. The pressure was so strong, her legs trembled with every step, and she worried for Evan Lin’s safety.
But she didn’t look back. Evan’s words echoed in her ears, and Irene’s eyes were already red—she bit her lip hard to keep from crying.
This was the only time in her life she ever felt this kind of sorrow.
Nineteen...
Irene silently counted to nineteen—just one more to go!
But she couldn’t hear anything behind her anymore!
What was happening behind her?
Irene’s heart pounded wildly, full of anxiety.
Meanwhile, the whole scene froze in an instant.
Everyone was stunned, unable to understand what had just happened.
Zhou Hui and Manager Ren looked bewildered.
A moment ago, Aiden Green’s face was cold and ruthless. Now, his fist was still clenched, eyes locked on the youth before him.
But his body was frozen in place, fist still raised to strike. All the raging force around him had vanished without a trace.
The swirling dust settled to the ground, and the floating particles still drifted in the air.
“Master Green?” Zhou Hui called out nervously, but got no reply.
No one saw the youth make any move—not even lift a hand! And Green was left silent, unmoving.
Collect the corpse.
The indifferent voice sent a chill through everyone present.
Zhou Hui stared blankly at the youth, who turned and walked out of the manor without a word.
Master Green, he’s leaving!
Manager Ren shouted, but Green stood like a statue, eyes still cold but body completely motionless.
Twenty.
Irene Xu finally counted to twenty. She stopped, nervously turned to look behind her, worried Evan Lin had been hurt protecting her.
But when she turned, the first thing she saw was the youth’s calm face and those deep, tranquil eyes.
Let’s go. It’s over.
Irene’s mind buzzed, her heart raced, and an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.
Meanwhile, Zhou Hui finally couldn’t hold back. He stepped forward and gently tugged at Green’s sleeve.
Then—
Boom!
Aiden Green collapsed, dead with his eyes wide open.
