At this time, Matthew was still lying on the ground and his face was flushed red with embarrassment. He could not control his own body or reflexes and he really felt like dying right then. 6
Jack waved his hand and Matthew lost all of his strength and he collapsed to the ground immediately. He felt extremely ashamed of himself at this time. 5
"Well, so are you finally convinced now, Mr. Gibson?” Zeke asked as he laughed.
Matthew gritted his teeth and blood oozed out of his gums as he murmured bitterly, "Fine, you win...you win
H
When Matthew finally lowered his head as he was utterly defeated, the whole courtyard was silent as no one dared to say anything anymore.
After that, Jack turned his head to look at Charlie before he said, “So, you snatched the valuable clam that I wanted to buy at the auction the other day.
Since you've already witnessed my skills and magical abilities today, do you still dare to be so arrogant now?" s
Charlie shrugged before he said, "Just two simple strokes and you really think that you can’t be defeated?” 1
At this time, Jasmine hurriedly pulled Charlie aside before she said in a low voice, "Mr. Wade, do not go
against him at this time. Mr. Valeman does have some skills and abilities. Do not lose your life just because o f your pride and dignity." s
Jack sneered before he said, "You're still so young and ignorant. Do you really have the courage to compete against me? If you lose, I want you to return the clam t o me since it is rightfully mine. I also want you to go down on your knees and apologize to me!" 5
Charlie smiled before he replied, "Competition? Who d o you think you are? Do you really think that you are worthy enough to compete with me?" 7
The expression on everyone's faces turned solemn at this time. This young man was really courageous.
Who gave him the guts to speak in that manner to Jack? Was he really tired of living? 5
At this time, there was dead silence in the courtyard. 6
Jasmine was also so shocked that she stood up immediately. She knew that things would definitely get out of hand because of Charlie’s words. 1
Jack was even angrier after listening to Charlie's words. Therefore, he walked towards Charlie before he said, "I've already met many different types of people i n my life but none of them are like you. You seem to b e deliberately courting death.”
