Chapter 49 Ending Things,A Man Like None Other

Shifting sideways, Steven dodged Luca’s blow. After having done so, he didn’t make a move but cast his gaze at Walter and asserted, “As I said, I don’t want to make an enemy out of you, Mr. Grange. Are you really going to force my hand?” Walter’s expression was grim, and he didn’t say a single word. Luca, on the other hand, felt humiliated that Steven managed to dodge his blow effortlessly. His temper spiked, and he thundered, “Stop yakking! Here I come!” Pulling back his fist, he swung it right at Steven. If that blow found its target, the man’s head would likely explode on the spot. Steven’s gaze narrowed, and fury reddened his face. “Since you insist, I’m not going to pull my punches anymore!”

 

he spat. After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Luca’s wrist before throwing a left uppercut at the man. Shocked, Luca jerked his head to the side and kicked his leg out to force the man back. To his surprise, Steven didn’t dodge but allowed the kick to land squarely on his chest. However, the forceful recoil sent Luca flying instead. It took considerable effort before he finally regained his footing.

You’ll probably die from a single punch, considering your physique!” At that moment, he had lost all sanity, which was why he dared speak to the man so impudently, forgetting that Jared was someone even Walter revered.

 One’s capability in martial arts increases by natural progression in time. He’s just a snot-nosed kid in his early twenties, so how skilled could he be even if he had started training while still in his mother’s womb? “Shut up! How dare you insult Mr. Chance, you b*stard?” Walter lambasted when he heard Luca’s insolent

silent, but there wasn’t much respect for Jared in his eyes. He feared Walter, but not Jared. At that exact moment, Josephine rushed up and tugged at Jared, urging, “Don’t be a hero!

your nose into this matter!” She presumed that he was only well-versed in medicine and wasn’t good at anything else. “I should showcase my capabilities since there’s such a fitting occasion today. Otherwise, how am I going to be worthy of an heiress like you when I’m a pauper?” The second Josephine heard that, a shy look appeared on her face. This is the first
