“Calix has only unlocked five acupoints. You, a Seventh Archduke, will be up against a Fifth Archduke. If you still lose,
you should join the ranks of trash,” said Zeke.
Frowning, Apollyon asked, “Have you met Calix, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke shook his head.
“How do you know that he's only a Fifth Archduke?” asked Apollyon.
Zeke scoffed disdainfully. “Is it difficult to find out someone's strength from a distance?”
By simply unleashing some energy, he had managed to discern Calix's powers without the latter noticing anything.
It was a piece of cake.
Apollyon and the others became even more in awe of Zeke.
Look at him! He's a true warrior.
Something that was practically impossible to them was nothing but a simple gesture to Zeke.
It was impossible not to admire a person like him.
Zeke continued, “There's still some time till the actual battle. Continue training and strengthen your skills. We'll set
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoff after dawn.”
“Got it!”
The rest continued with their training till the sky completely brightened two hours later.
By then, their powers were already firmly grounded in the Archduke class.
Zeke nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad! Let's go.”
However, Apollyon asked quickly, “Mr. Williams, can we ask our troops to come with us?”
“Why?” asked Zeke in confusion.
“To be honest, we've got a very messy bunch in our troops. There are some people who aren't willing to accept
your authority. They think that you are an incapable man who only managed to unite the troops through petty
schemes,” explained Apollyon.
“If we bring them to watch the battle, they can witness how powerful we are. After that, we'll address you as our
master and make them realize that you're the one who helped us cultivate our skills. No one would dare to question
you again,” he continued.
“Well, it's up to you,” replied Zeke casually.
Zeke was not bothered about whether the troops obeyed him or were accepting of his leadership.
After all, it did not matter to him at all.
Glancing at the time, he instructed, “Let's go. It's almost time.”
“Let's go!”
After gathering the hundreds of men in the troop, the ten Decani marched off grandly with Zeke.
A noisy commotion had broken out among the group as everyone discussed the upcoming battle.
“Do you think that the newbie can be a match for Calix?”
“That's gonna be tough. Look at how impressive Calix is! All of you know very well that even our boss, Apollyon,
can't endure one blow from Calix.”
“If that newbie loses to Calix, he'd definitely die.”
“D*mn it! After following him, our lives improved slightly. But he's sending himself to his death right now... Looks like
our good days are coming to an end.”
“I don't think so. Considering that newbie's vicious scheme to make Apollyon fight on his behalf, he's probably
planning to sacrifice Apollyon to save his own hide.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I'd rather sacrifice the newbie than Apollyon. Following Apollyon pays off much better!”
Now that Apollyon and the other Decani were Archdukes, they had surpassed their physical limits. Their hearing,
sight, and other senses were multiple times better than the average person's.
Hence, they could hear the others' conversations clearly.
When the ten Decani heard the rest looking down on Zeke like that, fury surged through them.
Upon glancing at Zeke, they discovered that he was still calm and collected, not betraying any reactions at all.
If the Archdukes could overhear the conversation, it was obvious that Zeke could hear what the soldiers were
saying too.
Apollyon asked cautiously, “Mr. Williams, do you want me to teach those brats a lesson?”
Zeke shook his head. “It's fine.”
“Mr. Williams, aren't you angry that these b*stards are defaming you like that?” questioned Apollyon.
Zeke rebuked, “Let me ask you this. If an ant bites you, are you going to bite the ant back?”
His words left the Decani speechless.
Mr. Williams' right! To him, the soldiers are nothing but mere ants. If he doesn't even care about them, why would
he be bothered by their comments?
