The Man’s Decree

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. Upon noticing the astonished expressions of the people around him, he instantly roared, “One of us must die today, Steven!”
