“Once more!” Cole exclaimed furiously. He charged forward a second time.
Once again, it was a muffled sound that reverberated across the plaza.
Those at the side hurriedly took a few steps backward, lest they become collateral damage.
The power unleashed by both parties astounded everyone.
Melvin, Vermont, and the rest were all frozen on the spot.
They were taken by surprise. They never expected that Caspian would be so much more. powerful than Cole.
At first, they were anxious about the battle. However, Caspian only needed one move to convince everyone that he was way stronger than Cole.
Aster and Avery looked at each other.
Both of them looked utterly shocked.
They had always thought that they were strong. Witnessing Caspian’s combat skills was a humbling experience.
Half a minute later, someone was thrown out.
When the people looked closer, they realized it was Cole.
He started throwing up blood. His face had been disfigured.
One look at his face and they could tell that Caspian had caused him great pain.
When faced with Caspian, the venerable master of Galecrest did not even have a chance to fight back.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed his deftness.
“Master!” Night Shadow ran up to Cole immediately to give him a hand.
Cole staggered backward before he finally regained his balance.
He just stood there and looked at Caspian, astonished.
“How are you so good? It’s not possible! You’re still so young! How could I not even compete. with you?” Cole said.
He had always assumed that Caspian was too young and would never be at his level no matter how skilled he was.
However, judging from the battle they just had, Cole realized that he was no match for

At that moment, Cole looked at Caspian with extreme fear in his

Cole was brimming with questions.
eyes.
“Have you made up your mind? Will you surrender or die?” Caspian said coldly.
“I’ll never surrender!” Cole proclaimed loudly.
He then looked to Night Shadow and ordered, “Night Shadow, attack him!”
“Yes, Master!” He nodded. He drew another knife out. It was a short one.
The blade was glowing with a dark green substance. It had clearly been coated with poison.
If anyb*dy was to be nicked by the blade, there would only be one outcome–death!
“I’m going to take your life!” Night Shadow yelled as he ran toward Caspian with the knife. gripped tightly in his hand.
He just vanished like a ghost.
Everyone watching was shocked.
“I didn’t kn
didn’t know someone here knew stealth!” Caspian said as he frowned.
It seemed like Night Shadow was not a simple fighter. He actually utilized stealth.
This technique had been lost for a long time. The timing was advantageous to this person as it was nighttime.
It seemed like Night Shadow came prepared. Nonetheless, he only took advantage of the dark and used quick steps to hide his movements.
Caspian was unbothered. He just stood where he was.
Even if Night Shadow had such tricks up his sleeves, it did not matter. All these years, many had wanted to kill him. Nonetheless, they all died tragically.
It was at that moment that Night Shadow suddenly appeared behind Caspian.
He held the blade to Caspian’s neck.
Caspian would be in danger if he were to get pierced.
However, Caspian looked like he was not going to do anything.
“Mr. Lynch!” Melvin and the others began yelling frantically.

Night Shadow smirked as the tip of his knife was only a few centimeters away from Caspian’s
neck.
He could already foresee Caspian’s fate.
If Caspian died, Galecrest would be saved. It was now or never.
“You must have a death wish! How dare you attack Caspian!”
A loud voice could be heard next to Night Shadow.
He was frightened.
When he turned to look, he found Sylvia rushing toward him with a scowl on her face.
She raised her leg and kicked Night Shadow.
His face stiffened. He had a feeling that Sylvia was really powerful. It would definitely be bad if he were to get kicked.
He immediately retrieved his hand to block Sylvia, but it was too late.
Sylvia did not stop and went straight for Night Shadow.
Following a muffled sound, Night Shadow was thrown out.
Sylvia had kicked him on the forehead.
After getting kicked, his head started spinning.
As he fell to the ground, thick blood gushed out of his mouth.
He felt an intense pain
in his head.
Eventually, everything went black and he died.
“Night Shadow!”
Cole was staggered by the sight in front of him. Night Shadow had died.
Night Shadow was someone who had always been on the frontline with him. He was also his confidant and a close brother who was always there with him day and night.
But now, Night Shadow had been killed by Sylvia, and she had only used one kick!
Everyone was shocked by Sylvia’s combat skills.
Night Shadow was also an eternal grandmaster, so how could he not have been able to defend himself against Sylvia’s attack?
They were all in disbelief. How could Sylvia still be so deferential to Caspian when she was also this powerful?

Everyone started looking at Caspian with fear in their eyes.
Cole was seething as he glared piercingly at Caspian and said, “Caspian! How dare you kill Night Shadow? I must kill you with my own hands!!
Cole had lost all his sanity and charged toward Casplan once again.
He went all out, no longer having any reservations.
Unfortunately, he came tumbling back even when he had just rushed out.
Cole became pale and vomited a mouthful of blood.
At this rate, he was close to dying.
“It’s funny how you even dare to challenge me to a duel with such weak powers!” Caspian said with a smile as he rotated his wrist.
When Cole heard this, he was so furious that he turned red.
Caspian was humiliating him in front of everyone else!
‘Master!” Members of Galecrest had gathered around and began shouting emotionally.
Judging from the current situation, they no longer had a way out.
Their fates were tightly sealed with Cole’s.
“Kill him!”
“Avenge our master!”
Several fearless men rushed out.
They were all prepared for the worst.
When all the other forces were ready to attack, guards who were loaded with live ammunition rushed out.
A loud sound accompanied their movement.
All of the people froze.
Irwin Hayes, the governor of Naporia, emerged from among the crowd.
“All hail the governor!”
The people knelt on the ground hurriedly.

Even Aster and Avery knelt down along with the others.
Only two people remained standing in the entire plaza.
It was Caspian and Sylvia.
Caspian was just standing there with his hands behind his back. He was indifferent.
Everyone was puzzled. Why was Caspian not bowing down to the governor?
At the same time, Cole smirked.
It was true that Caspian was the leader of the alliance, but that meant nothing compared to the governor of Naporia!
