Chapter - 1457

Insolent man!

Unable to stand Zeke’s provocation any longer, Ares released his aura, his body trembling in rage.

His menacing aura destroyed several of the surrounding tables and injured three of the closest employees.

A strong wind roared to life around them as the surrounding temperature dropped to a freezing point.

The atmosphere was so tense; you could cut it with a knife.

Right then, a dark figure dashed in from outside the building before coming to a stop between Zeke and Ares.

It was Mr. Collins.

Through him, Zeke intended on forcing Ares into using his Seven Star Tiger Punch.

Ares glanced between Mr. Collins and Zeke, a menacing smile spreading across his lips.

“Heh! It looks like you came here prepared, Zeke.” He turned to Mr. Collins. “Do you seriously think that you, an Archduke, is a match for a King like me?”

Mr. Collins retorted, “Well, when it comes to talking about crap, I admit I’m not your equal at all.”

Impudent fool!

“I’ll destroy you first before I kill Zeke Williams!”

With that, the two men leapt at each other and began to battle each other furiously.

Emily was over the moon at the turn of events.

As long as Ares managed to kill off Zeke, she would still be a winner in the end!

As expected from a fight between two top fighters, they left devastation in their wake.

In the blink of an eye, the once lavishly decorated office area became a messy ruin.

Despite their best attempts to run and hide, many people in the crowd got hurt in the crossfire. The backlash from two such powerful fighters was more than enough to kill a few innocent bystanders who died on the spot.

Although Mr. Collins was only one level below Ares, there was still a significant difference between them in terms of power.

In the end, Mr. Collins was sent flying by a smack from Ares.

He landed at Zeke’s feet and coughed out blood. Shamefaced, he apologized, “My apologies, Mr. Williams. I was not strong enough.”

Zeke shot him a smile as he comforted, “You’ve already done quite well.”

In truth, he was still a little disappointed.

Ares had only used the first two forms of his Seven Star Tiger Punch. Zeke already knew the first three and had wanted to observe the fourth and final form.

It seemed like he had to personally enter the battle himself.

Struggling to climb to his feet, Mr. Collins moved to protect Zeke. “Mr. Williams, run! I might not be his match but I’m still able to hold him off long enough for you to escape. I will be willing to throw my life away if you could live!”

Zeke gently tugged the other man to stand behind him. “Stop moving around now. You’re injured. Stay here and rest. I’ll handle everything from here.”

Mr. Collins looked stunned.

Does this mean Zeke is going to reveal his true identity as the First King? Is there really a need for it?

Ares stalked toward Zeke, a predatory expression on his face.

“Brat, even Mr. Collins is no match for me. What makes you think a cripple like you can defeat me? I’m giving you one last chance to contact the First King. Get me a Spirit Stone, now! Otherwise, I’ll slaughter the both of you, no, everybody from Linton Group today!”

Zeke remained as cool as a cucumber with a frosty look in his eyes. “I wonder if you have that capability.”

Ares shot Zeke a bewildered look.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? He’s already lost his life force permanently yet he’s still so arrogant? He still wants to challenge me? Damn it! Don’t tell me he isn’t crippled at all! There’s no other reason why he would still be so calm otherwise. Ah, f*** it! Let’s just test the waters first.

Upon coming to a decision, Ares prepared his next attack.
