A Nobody
After seeing Oakley, Gonzo bowed and greeted, “I’m Gonzo Rowling, from the Rowling family of
Marsingfill. It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Dixon.”
Oakley nodded his acknowledgment and gestured for Gonzo to take a seat. Then, he asked his visitor,
“Mr. Gonzo, why have you traveled so far to the Vige of Viins? I do not recall our families ever
crossing paths.”
After a moment of silence, Gonzo said, “Mr. Dixon, I’m here to ask you to hand over a person.”
“A person? Who?” Oakley frowned.
“A man by the name of Jared Chance.” Gonzo’s eyes red with anger as he continued, “He killed my
nephew and escaped to the Vige of Viins. Mr. Dixon, I hope you can hand the murderer over to me
so I may avenge my nephew.”
His exnation deepened Oakley’s frown. I can’t believe Jared really has bad blood with the Rowlings
of Marsingfill. He even killed one of their own!
Oakley dered, “I’ve never heard of this person, and he can’t possibly be in the Vige of Viins.”
Gonzo’s expression cooled several degrees. He roared, “Someone saw Jared escaping to the Vige
of Viins, Mr. Dixon. How could you not see him around? Are you seriously thinking of antagonizing
the Rowling family for Jared Chance? I must leave this ce with him today, dead or alive. If you don’t
hand him over, Mr. Dixon, there will be a hefty price to pay.”
His threats infuriated Oakley and the rest of The Viinous Four.
Brody’s temper snapped, and he bellowed, “Who the h*ll do you Rowlings of Marsingfill think you are?
How dare you threaten the Vige of Viins! Jared Chance is here, so what? Hefty price? What price?
My *ss! You must have a death wish!”
Meanwhile, Gonzo’s expression soured instantly at Brody’s rants.
Gonzo said coldly, “Since you’ve admitted that Jared is here, I suppose you have no ns to handing
him over, yes?”
“Of course, we’re not handing him over! What can you do about that?” retorted Brody.

Enraged, Gonzo mmed his palms on the table and shouted, “Know your ce, Brody!”
The sturdy rosewood table instantly shattered into pieces.
The members of the Vige of Viins flooded into the hall when they heard themotion and
surrounded Gonzo and his men from the Rowling family.
Gonzo shot the Vige of Viins members dark looks and dered, “Think carefully before attacking
me. Once you do, you’re not only dering war against the Rowling family of Marsingfill but also the
martial arts world of Marsingfill.”
Oakley scoffed and spat, “You’re just a nobody from the Rowling family. Enzo is the real head of your
family. Don’t think I don’t know about that. You have no right to make such bold derations about your
importance!”
His words hit Gonzo where it hurt most. After all, Gonzo was merely a representative of his elder
brother, who was the actual head of the Rowling family.
Gonzo’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he red at Oakley.
He did not expect the Vige of Viins to offend the Rowling family and potentially cause bloodshed to
protect Jared.
Suddenly, murderous intent emanated from Gonzo’s body and filled the air. Gonzo gritted out, “Don’t
think I’m scared just because I’m on your turf. Are you handing Jared over or not?”
“I said no!” Brody stepped up and continued, “Let’s make this a fair fight and take it outside!”
“Fine!” Gonzo turned and left the hall.
The Viinous Four followed after him, the members of the Vige of Viins close behind.
All of them walked out of the Vige of Viins and stopped at a piece of emptynd.
“Bring it on, then!” Brody waved Gonzo over, challenging him to a duel.
Oakley hastily put his hand out and blocked Brody, cautioning, “Back down, Brody. I’ll fight him instead.
We don’t know his abilities yet.”
He was the strongest among The Viinous Four. Since no one had a gauge of Gonzo’s abilities,
Oakley decided it was safer for him to fight Gonzo.
“I ain’t scared of him, Oakley,” replied Brody, who eagerly anticipated the fight.
“Brody! Listen to Oakley!” Travis cautioned while holding Brody back.
