Winner Takes All

A low humming sound seemed to tremble in the air.

In an instant, Brent exploded in an unprecedented speed.

Jack could feel a gust of wind buffeting him, and even the lighting seemed to trip for a moment. He had a feeling that Brent was teleporting as he watched him careening in his direction.

"So fast!"

His heart seemed to leap into his throat.

Jack couldn't react at all as Brent's humungous body was just inches away from him now.

At this moment, a terrifying pressure was upon him.

It felt like a huge wave of energy just consumed him completely.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

In his eyes, another bout of sound crackled.

The muscles on Brent's back and waist were revving up to their maximum potential.

While Brent was bending his back, he brought his palms together and his arms started to writhe like huge snakes. A huge force seemed to fuel his fists as they came at Jack in an instant. "Dragon Suppressing Palm!"

In a flash, Jack couldn't move himself to put on any defensive stance.

The only way to counter Brent was to come up with an offense of his own Mountain Knock, which was one of his proudest move was discarded for this situation immediately. In a situation where both parties had a huge gap in terms of body shape and strength, this move wouldn't be effective towards Brent.

The outcome of a clash of head-on power would be decided by who had the stronger force.

The Dragon Suppressing Palm's mellow manner was more suitable to counter the monstrosity that was coming at him.

It felt like time had slowed down.

As Brent's waist and arm continued to writhe, all the strength in his body all became focused on his arms.

The air itself was even vibrating now.

On the other hand, Jack's hands had bulging muscles too, and they were careening at Brent's fists.

Amber was utterly shocked by what she was witnessing.

Mr. Ward and Daisy had held their breath while they had faces drained of any color.

The two of them had undergone special martial arts training and they were not puny in the slightest. They knew very well how much strength did Brent's attack contain.

He had focused all of the strength he had in his body, and he was unleashing that monstrous strength through his waist.

The pinnacle of this force not only could break stones and gold, it could even be said to have an impact like cannon!

Even that mysterious man in the villa next door was watching this scene. He abruptly stood up on his balcony with passionate gaze.

"You can't block it like that! You can't!"

His hoarse voice immediately filled the air.

The next second, Jack's arms wrapped around Brent's as if they were latched on to it. They then made their way up his arm by slithering upwards.

However, just as Jack's arm had successfully locked themselves around Brent's arms, a twisted and horrendous explosive power immediately sent shockwaves to Jack's arms. Jack's expression drastically changed as his arms went numb.

No matter how hard he gritted his teeth and tried to repel that force by controlling his muscles, he still couldn't block off the shockwaves emanating from Brent's closed fists. No, that was no mere vibration, it was even disgusting and twisted.

As if a huge dragon was swooping down on its prey, and at the same time Brent's arms seemed to morph into a huge vortex that didn't suck things in but rather repel everything from its center. With a loud bang, Jack showed a grimace on his face, and while he was completely stunned, he could clearly see that his arms were no longer latching on to Brent's after that bout of shockwave. The Dragon Suppressing Palm couldn't contain that huge impact!

In an instant, Jack's mind was buzzing as this was his first defeat since he had learnt the Dragon Suppressing Palm!

He was employing a soft stance to envelop his hard stance, but in the face of Brent, it didn't work at all.

On the other hand, Brent's arms looked rock-solid like an unyielding trunk, looking unbuttered and unfazed.

"Young master!"

"Mr. Hughes!"

"Jack!"

Mr. Ward, Daisy and Amber all let out screams of despair almost at the same time.

Amber was worried that Jack would get hurt, while Mr. Ward and Daisy who were both familiar with the severity of Brent's strength were afraid that Jack would get too seriously injured. Therefore, they were all gasping and exclaiming.

"Not good!"

Even the mysterious man of the next villa was horrified now.

However, at this exact moment, under everyone's horrified gaze, Jack who was previously standing straight bent over.

Brent who was crashing towards him without stopping lashed out with his arms which grazed Jack's cheeks.

Just as Brent's arms were nearing Jack's face, Jack bit down on the numbness in his arms and lifted them to form a cross with his palms. Then, he placed it directly on Brent's careening fists. "Repel!"

With a loud roar, Jack who was bent over released an immense force which collided with Brent's closed fists. By following Brent's momentum, he forced Brent to go flopping in the direction which his fists were going towards.

Jack's feet glued his legs to the ground as they made a huge grating sound while he forced himself to a stop, leaving two long marks of his soles.

He maintained his bent-over stance and finally managed to completely stop at the moment his head almost reached the fence of the balcony.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Immediately, dead silence engulfed the whole place.

It was as if time had come to a stop momentarily on the balcony.

Everyone had turned to stone.

Brent was still bending his upper body and his palms were still glued together. However, the only thing different was his face, which was now filled with horrified incomprehension.

His move was... broken through?

Since when did his prided Python Devours Dragon could get broken with such ease?

Brent who was at a standstill had a vortex of emotion in his heart.

The Python Devours Dragon was a hidden ace he only used when he was pushed to a corner!

This was because this move needed him to perfectly control the muscles in his waist until the moment all ounce of strength in his body came together at his fists. It was a double-edged knife which would cause injury both to his opponent and himself, and at worst, it would affect a fight directly.

After using such monstrous strength using the muscles in his waist, he would be momentarily paralyzed.

A moment of hesitation was akin to suicide on the battlefield.

Therefore, when he was fighting on the way to TM Villa District, Brent kept his move and didn't even use it in the end.

It was not like he was reluctant to use this move, but this move wasn't suitable for a fight with many opponents. It was a good move during one-to-one.

However, in his past, he had managed to kill off many experts using this one move.

So, that was the reason Brent had viewed this move highly like a sure-kill perfect knife with no weakness!

If it were not for Jack's tremendous growth in strength and keeping in mind this was just a normal fight, he wouldn't even consider using this move.

In the end, his worst nightmare manifested in the form of Jack easily break down the perfect facade of his move which he believed to be flawless.

Jack was able to counter his move using an unimaginable way... almost too easily!

Mr. Ward and Daisy was still in a state of shock, but compared to Brent, there was a strange expression on their faces.

Amber was holding her breath now and after making sure Jack was fine, she only let go of her breath.

The mysterious man in the next villa was watching this with his pupils contacting to the limits. His gaze was locked onto Jack, and Jack alone. After a few moments of disbelief, he suddenly laughed, "This guy is really an anomaly."

His words were words of compliment rather than him trying to belittle Jack.

This was because the way Jack had countered Brent's move could only be labelled as an anomaly, one that the mysterious man also never dreamed of.

Finally, Mr. Ward's voice which was full of resignation broke the silence, "The same thing happens again... is there no limit to the young master's battle prowess?"☐☐☐
