Nathan raised his hand to form a fist in response to Max's punch.
Bang!
Their fists met with an earth-shattering crash.
Surprisingly, the deck of the warship Nathan was on could not withstand the force. A pit two meters wide appeared under Nathan, and he fell into it.
Meanwhile, Max landed back on the deck steadily. As he looked at the black crater in front of him, he grinned gleefully. “Hah! Is this all the God of War of Eurasia is capable of?”
“Is it?” came Nathan's voice all of a sudden.
The grin on Max's face stiffened.
There was an explosion in the black pit before Nathan abruptly shot out of it. Immediately, he lunged toward Max with a punch.
Bang!
Max skidded backward as if his chest had been struck by a missile.
The soldiers of the Ghost Ship watched with gaping mouths as Max skidded over a dozen meters backward, his feet leaving deep, long furrows in the deck. It took Max a while before he could regain his balance.
Once he recomposed himself, he snapped his head upward to look at Nathan in disbelief.
Nathan had taken his punch head-on and was shoved into the pit. Yet, he had escaped unscathed.
The next moment, Max lowered his head to look at his chest.
A clear imprint had been left on his chest. Even though he was the ultimate flawless super-soldier—even though he was the God of War of Ariarica—he could feel the stinging pain in his chest. Even his organs felt like they were flip-flopping in him.
At the same time, he felt something wet by the corner of his lips. When he lifted his hand to wipe it away, he was stunned to find out that it was blood.
While Nathan looked at Max indifferently, he said, “You're a Five-star General, yet you seem disappointingly mediocre.”
That was all Nathan said, but immediately, a storm brewed in Max's eyes. Murderous intent poured out of his being and enveloped the entire place.
Without a doubt, Nathan's comment was a counterattack on Max's earlier mockery.
Max was livid.
He was just laughing about how Nathan was far from impressive, but in the next moment, Nathan had injured him to the point blood was oozing out of his lips. Furthermore, the other man even mocked him for being mediocre. There were no words to properly describe the boiling rage in him.
He clenched his fists as his eyes grew as cold as a robot's. However, his tone was chock-full of fury as he uttered, “Very well. I'm going to be serious from now on. Prepare to face my wrath!”
Nathan said, “Bring it on!”
