“Seems like I’ve underestimated you. Come again!” Bruce immediately sprang into action after finishing


    his sentence.


    Figuring that his opponent only had rather average skills, George’s confidence skyrocketed, and


    without hesitation, he pushed himself off the ground and charged toward his opponent.


    Just as he did that, he saw Bruce waving his hand. Within seconds, he was shrouded in a cloud of


    smoke that only grew increasingly thicker.


    He hurriedly tried to move backward but heard a howl of wind behind him. His agility allowed him to


    lower his head rtively quickly to avoid the abrupt attack.


    “Despicable jerk! Didn’t you say that you won’t use magecraft?” George snarled.


    “I’m only using my capabilities. How am I despicable?” Bruce let out an insidiousugh.


    In that fight they were in, he knew he had the ultimate power while George was only but a headless


    chicken running around aimlessly.


    Witnessing the dreadful sight before him, Jayden became boot-faced as he figured doom was


    approaching.


    Indeed, several momentster, George’s body was sent flying out of the thick smog, with bloodstains at


    the corner of his mouth and his body slightly shaking as he lifted his gaze to look at Bruce.


    “Skilled in both martial arts and magecraft… You’re undoubtedly capable. I concede defeat,” George


    muttered with a pale face.


    “I assume you’re from a prominent background too. I’ll let you off today. Scram.” Bruce waved his hand


    in dismissal,


    In response, George sped his hands together and gave a salute before ordering his men to carry


    Daxton up and take their leave.


    “Mr. Jenson, you can’t leave. You can’t leave just yet. What do I do if you’re gone? I’ll pay extra; tell me


    how much more you want!” Jayden grabbed onto George’s arm and generously remarked.


    “Mr. Snyder, this has nothing to do with money. I’m honestly no match to Mr. Mikkelson. There’s nothing


    I can do!” George forcefully shoved Jayden’s hands away and departed without looking back.


    Astonishment struck Jayden. His body felt so weak he was on the brink of copsing onto the ground


    “Dad!” Tessa hurriedly held onto the man.


    “How is it? I’ve given you a chance, but sadly you don’t know how to cherish it. Now, not just this, but


    all of the other vein mines on Mount Hickoria belong to me! Whoever dares to disagree will have to die


    today!” Isaiah convulsed withughter.


    “Isaiah, I promise that the Larsons won’t fight with you. All we ask for is retaining the ownership of the


    vein mines that are originally ours!”


    It was the decision Christopher had derived after proper judgment.


    “It’s toote now. You two shall lead your men and get out of Salinsburgh at once. I don’t want to see


    anyone else, other than the Fergusons, mining here!” Isaiah dered triumphantly with contempt


    written all over his face.


    “D-Don’t push your luck, Isaiah!” Christopher was seething with fury.


    “Why? Even if I do that, what can you do? Do you want to start a fight too?”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Isaiah shot a look of disdain at Christopher. Arrogance within the former had reached its peak!


    “Isaiah, even if I die, I won’t leave Salinsburgh. I’ll take you down with me if I have to!” Jayden gritted


    his teeth as rage welled up.


    Then, he turned to Christopher and said, “Chris, let’s join forces. I’m confident we’ll be able to outwit


    Isaiah with ourbined powers. When that happens, we’ll split the vein mines equally!”


    Seeing how cocky Isaiah was, Christopher nodded readily. “Absolutely! Let’s do that!”


    Despite watching the agreement for a coboration between the two, Isaiah could not care less. The


    expert Jayden brought along with him has already left. How powerful can he still be?


    “Since you two are asking for death, don’t me me for my ruthlessness then!”


    A murderous intent shed across Isaiah’s eyes, and as soon as he motioned his arm in the air the


    experts he brought with him speedily pranced forward. As Bruce lightly moved his fingers, streaks of


    ck smoke began wafting toward the Larsons and the Snyders. “After them! Kill all of them!”


    “Charge!” Christopher and Jayden’s roars filled the air. They knew it was a serious matter concerning


    their survival.


    Instantaneously, an intense battle unfolded between the two groups of forces. The almost two meters in


    height bulky man, whom Christopher had brought along, headed toward Bruce straight away. His


    humongous figure was just like a hill!
