Chapter 643: Chapter 642

“I should remind you, Mr. Seet, that we are on my estate now. We’re nowhere near the Seet family residence.”

“I know that well. So? Do you have the guts to dance this dance with me?”

Evan was taunting Levant with his words and eye contact. We can’t fight head-on because they have the advantage in terms of number. The only way out is to claim victory with our wits.

A one-on-one battle will make this a fair fight and is our best shot at taking him down. Unfortunately, there is no saying as to whether he will accept the challenge.

Levant shrugged nonchalantly at Evan’s taunts. It’s nothing more than a one-on-one battle. What’s there to be afraid of?

Levant thought about how he would be able to rest well for the rest of his life if he ended up killing Evan.

After Evan dies, maybe I can even figure out a way to get back with Nicole.

“Sure, let’s do this. Do watch your back, Mr. Seet, because I will not be showing you any mercy.”

Evan’s irises constricted upon hearing Levant’s words, and the two men glared at each other. Every spectator on-site stepped back as a chill ran down their spines.

Everyone understood that the battle ahead would be an incredible fight to the death.

“Careful, Mr. Seet,” reminded Jeremy, who couldn’t help voicing up.

Evan clenched his fists. He took a few steps forward and swung his leg. Levant’s athletic figure jumped backward and evaded that kick entirely.

“Mr. Seet, isn’t that move a little too weak?”

“That’s the warm-up,” replied Evan, who thought that being at a disadvantage that early in the battle was fine. I can win if I scrutinize his actions and memorize his moves.

Levant grinned diabolically. And then it happened: Levant did an insanely fast backflip and landed right in front of Evan, after which the former swung his leg like a tornado and made a heavy landing on Evan’s chest.

Evan backed away quickly and stumbled a little before he regained his footing.

They had only exchanged “pleasantries” twice, but even that was enough to get to Levant’s head.

He challenged me when that is all he has? He is so full of himself; he will die for it.

Levant attacked aggressively and carelessly after that. Every move was fierce——there was even a moment when Levant thought that victory was close. However, that was also the precise moment when Evan ambushed the momentarily distracted Levant. Evan faked a retreat before forging ahead at an incredible speed. Before anyone could see what was happening, Evan had already grabbed a shiny blade out of his pocket and pressed it against Levant’s neck.

“This is the second time I have your life within my grasp. You held my kids hostage the last time, but this time… This time, I can take your life!”

“I didn’t think that you can actually fight, Evan Seet. Still, I won’t celebrate just yet if I were you. You might have won the fight against me, but you won’t be able to leave in one piece, either. We’ll just end up dragging each other to our deaths.”

“I won’t die with you. You owe me a life, and our debt will be settled once I kill you.”

“Are you sure?”

Levant’s words prompted Evan to turn around. That was when Evan saw that Levant’s men had already had Stephen and Jeremy surrounded.

“Go on, Evan Seet. Kill me if you can’t care less about their deaths. Just remember that Stephen is Nicole’s father. She will never forgive you if anything happens to him!”

Evan couldn’t speak.

He was deep in his thought. It was clear that he would never sacrifice their lives.

“Don’t hold back for our sake, Mr. Seet. Kill the assh*le who tried to murder you.”

“That’s right, Mr. Seet. Kill him. Have no concern for us.”

Jeremy and his men were brave despite facing death.

Stephen, however, looked conflicted. He wasn’t afraid of dying, but Levant was the adopted son that Stephen had been raising for the past twenty years. Stephen couldn’t bear to watch the boy die.

What is the best course of action under these circumstances?

Levant suddenly attacked Evan with a powerful punch while the latter was distracted. Unprepared, the blade Evan was clutching dropped onto the floor.

“Evan Seet, have you heard the saying that even a dragon can’t defeat a snake while in enemy territory? How arrogant are you to have come to my turf to settle the score with me?”

Evan clenched his fists. He was about to attack again when he saw a familiar figure standing behind Levant. That was the woman he could recognize from any distance and angle!

D-didn’t she leave with the kids? Why is she here now?

Nicole put her finger in front of her lips, signaling Evan to keep quiet.

“Mr. Levant, behind you…”

Levant’s men tried to warn him, but when he finally sensed that something was off and turned his head, Nicole swiftly placed a few silver needles on Levant’s acupressure points.

Levant was surprised to see Nicole there, but his surprise lasted only a split second. After that, his vision suddenly went dark and he collapsed onto the floor.

“Looks like my medical skills are still pretty useful.”
