Speak! Haylan stared at Huck, his gaze as cold as a knife.
He was certain he had no grievances or enmity with Huck, and they had never met.
Huck had no reason to attack him from the beginning, especially in a coordinated manner with two others.
Someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Although Huck was injured and felt the burning pain in his organs, he smirked and locked eyes with Haylan. âI wonât tell you. If you dare, kill me!â
âDo you think I donât dare to kill you?â Haylanâs gaze grew even colder.
He had only come to participate in the Gemstone Identification Competition, thinking it would be a relaxed appraisal of treasures. But unexpectedly, someone wanted to attack him.
How could he tolerate such a situation?
âHaylan, I admit that youâre formidable. However, if you kill me, I guarantee you wonât be able to survive in Lightdom City.â Huck confidently declared He served under the Demigod Steve Sky, who was on the verge of becoming the crowned king and the highest leader of the three southern regions.
Even if a dragon appeared within this territory, it would have to prostrate itself and dare not act arrogantly.
If Haylan killed him, it would be equivalent to opposing Steve.
With Steveâs prestige and power, he could easily crush Haylan and trample him underfoot.
âWhat do you mean?â Haylanâs thoughts raced as he quickly understood the situation.
He coldly asked, âAre you saying that youâre working for Steve Sky?â
âI didnât say that, but go ahead and kill me if you dare,â Huck continued to smirk.
âVery well, since itâs what you asked for!â Haylanâs gaze turned icy.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Huck by the neck, just like catching a chick.
His fingers tightened like iron, choking the life out of Huck. His face turned purple in an instant, experiencing extreme suffocation.
âUgh, ugh, ugh-â Huck Alexander gasped for air, unable to breathe.
Huck had never experienced such a situation before and immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.
He desperately used both hands to pry Haylanâs grip, but Haylanâs hand was strong and powerful, like an iron grip.
No matter how strong Huck exerted, he could not move Haylanâs hand even the slightest bit.
As time passed, Huckâs suffocation and lack of oxygen worsened. His face turned a shade of purple, resembling a pigâs liver. His hands gradually lost strength and hung down weakly while his eyes rolled back, falling into a state of unconsciousness. âStop it!â Chambers and Morris suddenly snapped out of their daze, vigorously shaking their heads to regain clarity. Seeing Haylan treating Huck this way, their expressions drastically changed. They realized that Haylan truly intended to kill Huck.
In unison, they let out a loud roar and once again lunged toward Haylan, ready to attack.
However, their strength was far inferior to Haylanâs.
He kicked thein both before they could get close to Haylan, sending them flying and crashing into the iron cage.
This time, Haylan showed no mercy. The force behind his kicks was terrifying, causing their organs to rupture and blood to gush from their mouths. Their faces turned pale, reflecting their agony.
After landing on the ground, they felt as if their muscles and organs were about to tear apart.
They tried to stand up but found that their muscles refused to obey, and they quickly fell down again.
Haylan gripped Huckâs neck, his gaze icy cold. âIf you want to die so badly, Iâll grant your wish!â
With that, he suddenly exerted force with his hand.
*Crackâ
With a crisp sound, Huckâs head drooped down.
Then, Haylan tossed Huck aside like throwing away trash.
1:3 10:481 Fuck fell to the ground, no longer breathing, lying there like a dead dog âHuckt âHuckt Chambers and Morris, upon seeing Huck collapse, were filled with rage. Their eyes turned red, and they let out screams of despair.
However, no matter how they yelled, Huck did not wake up. His eyes remained shut, his chest unmoving. He was already lifeless Chambers and Morris, witnessing Huckâs actual death, gritted their teeth and glared at Haylan with terrifying hatred and resentment.
Although the three of them had a reputation in the outside world, they were like brothers with a deep bond of friendship. With Huck being killed by Haylan, it was only natural for Chambers and Morris to be angry.
If eyes could kill, Haylan would have been torn into countless pieces and reduced to ashes by them.
After killing Huck, Haylan remained expressionless and took steps toward Morris and Chambers.
The eyes of Chambers and Morris were bloodshot with hatred and anger.
However, the gaze of Haylan was even colder, like an icy blade, chillingly staring at them. âIâll say it one last time,â Haylan spoke coldly, his eyes fixed on Chambers and Morris, âif you donât want to die, then tell me, who ordered you to kill me?â Chambers and Morris gritted their teeth in silence.
As subordinates of Demigod Ivan Sky, they dared not utter his name.
After all, if they offended Haylan, they would be the ones to meet their demise.
If they were to expose Ivan, it would harm the reputation of the Sky lineage, and they could face retaliation from the Sky family, potentially facing extermination.
Therefore, even in the face of an absolute master like Haylan, they were unwilling to speak up.
âHaylan, we admit that we are not as skilled as you, but no one ordered us,â Chambers said, clutching his chest, and gritting his teeth. âIf you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, you wonât have a good day as long as Iâm alive.â
âAre you threatening me?â Haylanâs gaze grew colder.
âItâs not a threat. Itâs a warning,â Morris said, gnashing his teeth, staring fiercely at Haylan.
âBy killing Huck, you have made enemies with the people behind us.â
âIf you kill us, youâll become enemies with the people behind us,â Morris declared. âAs long as you dare to lay a hand on us. the people behind us wonât rest until theyâve dealt with you.â
âHaylan Jaber, if you have the guts, kill us!â Chambers Anderson added.
âOtherwise, I will make your entire family suffer!â
Their eyes grew even more ferocious and terrifying as they spoke, filled with hatred.
âI was considering sparing your lives, but it seems you have no intention of living!â Haylan coldly remarked.
Finishing his words, he formed sword fingers with his hand and swiftly struck with a sword.
*Sound of impactâ
A sword beam shot like lightning, piercing Morrisâs heart and creating a fistâsized transparent hole in his left chest.
Fresh blood gushed out from the wound, dyeing the ground crimson.
âYouâ¦â Morris felt a searing pain in his chest.
He looked at his chest, then at Haylan, his face filled with disbelief.
The audacity of Haylan to kill him.
Before he could finish his sentence, darkness engulfed his vision, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly devoid of breath and heartbeat.
âHaylan, you beast!â Chambersâs eyes grew even redder as he glared at Haylan.
Sound of impact He couldnât finish his sentence either, as a sword beam pierced through his left shoulder, pinning him to the ground. Haylan stared coldly at Chambers. âTell me, who ordered you? If you donât speak, youâll be the next one to die!â
