Translator: 549690339

Julius Reed had already sensed the approach of the Eastern Bay Warrior.

It seemed that the situation at Brayden Leopold’s was quite inconvenient, which is why Black Dog had failed to deliver the news in time.

But it didn’t matter, for Julius Reed feared no one. With time, coupled with his intensive daily training, his abilities had greatly improved since before. Now facing an opponent like the Eastern Bay Warrior posed no difficulty at all.

Whoosh!

Clang!

A black iron sword descended from the sky, embedding itself upright on the rooftop of Pearl-on-the-Lake.

Following that, the Western Swordsman leaped onto the roof, landing behind Julius Reed.

The two of them stood one in front of the other, creating a pincer attack.

“No need for both of us to go up together! Samurai, leave him to me!”

The Western Swordsman laughed loudly, unhitching a flask from his belt and taking a big swig!

“Delicious!”

After downing the entire flask, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and tossed the flask aside.

“Meet your doom!”

Slice!

The longsword sparked as it grazed the concrete roof of Pearl-on-the-Lake.

Leap!

At the same time, Julius Reed made his move!

He sprinted with his feet, not advancing but retreating, charging towards the Western Swordsman!

Boom!

In the instant they clashed, Julius Reed kicked out fiercely, his foot connecting with the wrist of the Western Swordsman!

The longsword merely cut through the air, striking where Julius Reed had been moments before.

Leap! Leap! Leap!

The Western Swordsman stepped back, his face showing a strange expression.

“Recognized me?”

Julius Reed stood with his hands clasped behind his back, asking with a chortle. “My apologies!” The Western Swordsman narrowed his eyes and knelt on one knee.

“It’s you! My previous actions were offensive, please punish me!” In that moment, the previously unruly Western Swordsman spoke with surprising respect.

“Lucan Davenport. What game are you playing? To kneel before your enemy! I’m utterly disappointed in you!” The Eastern Bay Warrior, upon witnessing this scene, furrowed his brows in confusion.

Although they had not known each other long, they understood each other’s character quite well.

Both were proud due to their martial prowess, but now, seeing the Western Swordsman kneeling, he felt an indescribable shock. The disparity in their strength couldn’t be that vast, could it? Just one round, and the swordsman conceded?

“Worthless!” he cursed angrily, drawing his katana and charging towards Julius

And just then, the kneeling Western Swordsman suddenly rose, his longsword whistling towards the Eastern Bay Warrior!

Clang!

As blade met blade, both men took a step back!

“What are you doing!” the Eastern Bay Warrior asked with a darkened face, extremely displeased.

They were supposed to fight together against the enemy, and now one was betraying their side, what did that make of the situation?

“Don’t forget, we’ve taken money from the Leopold Family! If you take the money but don’t do the job, do you no longer care for your reputation?”

The Eastern Bay Warrior asked with a grim face, “Lucan Davenport, I hope you don’t make me lose respect for you!”

If they really came to blows, he would essentially be facing two-on-one!

Although Julius Reed had only made a move once earlier, the Eastern Bay Warrior knew full well the strength contained within. He still had confidence in himself in a one-on-one fight, but if it were truly two-on-one, he feared…

With this thought in mind, he was even less willing to engage with Lucan Davenport.

“Do you know who the person behind me is?” Lucan Davenport, faced with the Eastern Bay Warrior’s mockery, showed no sign of anger, but instead spoke with a smile, “The reason I was able to make a name for myself back in the day was all thanks to this gentleman’s guidance!”

“Gentleman?” The Eastern Bay Warrior couldn’t help but frown, “You refer to him as ‘gentleman’?”

In their world, the title ‘gentleman’ was the utmost respect one could show to another person.

Even surpassing one’s own master! Yet now, the Western Swordsman was actually calling Julius Reed ‘gentleman’!

“Exactly! So if you want to kill him, you’ll have to do it over my dead body!”

Lucan Davenport’s lips curled into a smile as he caressed his longsword, “But,

I’ll have to kill you as well! Anyone who tries to harm him must die!”

Twenty years ago, Lucan Davenport was just a wandering youth, holding a wooden sword every day, fantasizing about being a hero like in the martial arts novels – righteous and upholding justice to support the good of the world.

But in the end, he had to bow to the most basic needs of warmth and sustenance. By chance, he rescued a woman during a robbery, but he himself was severely injured, and the woman fled in panic, leaving Lucan Davenport alone in the alley waiting for death.

But he had no regrets, feeling that if he could do it all over again, he would still lend a hand to save someone.

So, as he was about to leave this world, a young face appeared in his blurry vision, and he was asked, “Do you truly wish to become a swordsman?”

Thus, five years later, Lucan Davenport, wielding an iron sword, became the Western Swordsman! He was feared by all evil forces.

The reason he affiliated himself with the Leopold Family was to use their power and influence to find the very same Julius Reed who had helped him before.

Although supported by the Leopold Family for so many years, he never once made a move.

It wasn’t until he saw a picture of Julius Reed that something stirred in his heart, prompting him to come out of seclusion! Time had passed, but that man still looked as young as ever.

It was only when Julius Reed executed that kick, a move often used while training Lucan Davenport, that he knew he had finally found that person!

“Now, draw your sword!” Lucan Davenport laughed heartily, shouting, “Gentleman, let’s see if I’ve lived up to your expectations!”

Schwaa!

The mighty longsword split the air, hurtling straight towards the Eastern Bay Warrior! “Lucan Davenport, you’re courting death!”

Clink!

The Eastern Bay Warrior frowned deeply, with no choice but to steel himself to receive the strike! The immense impact caused both men to take a step back.

“You hid your true strength?” The Eastern Bay Warrior asked in shock.

Previously, when they had sparred, the difference in their strengths wasn’t significant! But now, he suddenly found that Lucan Davenport’s power had increased by thirty percent!

That one strike sent a numbing pain through his palms! This meant that throughout their time together, Lucan Davenport had never revealed his true strength!

“See you when fate allows!”

A wise man knows when to retreat, and the Eastern Bay Warrior decided to make a hasty exit!

But if he wanted to leave, how could Lucan Davenport let him escape? Whoosh!

The longsword, accompanied by a howling wind, sliced straight down!

“This is too much!” Feeling a cold wind rising behind him, the Eastern Bay Warrior had no choice but to turn around and wildly swing his katana!

This was his special technique, River-Wind Slash!

Clink! Clink! Clink!

The katana’s relentless strikes unexpectedly forced Lucan Davenport back for the first time! Seizing this opportunity, the Eastern Bay Warrior leapt down from the dozens of stories of the “Pearl Over the Water,” his katana sparking against the building’s wall as he descended!

“No need to chase him! Let him go back!” Julius Reed stopped Lucan Davenport

and said with a smile, “If he wants to leave, he’ll have to lose a layer of skin!”

The Eastern Bay Warrior, originally plummeting wildly from the tenth floor, suddenly flipped backward as he approached a window! A dagger, still wet with blood, protruded from the position of the window.

Splat!

The Eastern Bay Warrior plummeted rapidly from the tenth floor, then rolled awkwardly on the ground before quickly vanishing from everyone’s sight..
