Sigh!

Suddenly, Stephen let out a sigh when Jacob was about five steps away from him.

"They say there will always be someone who's better and more capable than us. Once upon the time, I was The Pinnacle of Paramount but not anymore……"

He lamented while lifting his head. His eyes evinced the vicissitudes of season in life.

He used to be a sprightly old man. But now, he looked like a haggard and puny man whose days were numbered.

Jacob had unwittingly exposed his brilliance during their scuffle just now. It was impossible for him to outdo Jacob who boasted immense potential.

"I will retire and live a secluded life for the rest of my life if you're willing to spare Lewis Martial Arts School."

Stephen pleaded forlornly, and surrendered at the fact that his glory had expired.

Jacob slowed down his pace and gently nodded in concord.

"A real man never goes back on his words!"

Stephen had defeated Jacob in the previous battle. And Jacob was candor and gracious to honor his words on the stipulated term and condition.

But times had changed. This time it was his turn to follow through what he had promised Jacob.

"Thank you, Mr. Lynch. I'd like to declare that Lewis Martial Arts School will henceforth cease antagonizing your organization."


























Stephen was grateful for Jacob's clemency. God knew he had dedicated his life in building the martial arts school from ground up. At this point of time, he just wanted to salvage what was left of his legacy.

"Sure."

Jacob believed that Stephen was a man of his words.

As a renown martial arts practitioner, Stephen had earned himself an honest and fair attribution in the martial arts realm. Hence, Jacob knew that he could count on Stephen's words.

That was also one of the reasons why Jacob obligated his promise after losing to Stephen in the previous battle.

"By the way, Mr. Lynch, the Governor of Paramount is one of my close allies. Reveal this to him if you ever need a favor."

Just when Jacob was about to leave, Stephen suddenly tossed him a token.

Jacob caught the token swiftly. He flipped it around in his hand.
