Unfortunately, Emmanuel didn’t possess the same intense presence as
Yosef, nor did he radiate the same level of aggression. His techniques lacked
the lethal edge of his opponent’s, resulting in a noticeable difference in
strength.
“Are you done talking?” Emmanuel asked with a smile.
“Pretty much. After the match, if you’re interested, I can offer you a spot in
Tocvale. I’d be your instructor and offer you structured and professional
guidance to enhance your skills,” Austin proposed. His intentions were
genuine but accompanied by a hint of arrogance.
“No, thank you,” Emmanuel declined. His gaze sharpened into a predatory
glare that momentarily unsettled those around him as he stepped forward.
Yet, he swiftly regained composure while his eyes betrayed a fierce
determination.
Austin was stunned upon seeing that. He had never witnessed Emmanuel in

such a state before. Had he known, Austin wouldn’t have uttered those words
earlier.

Emmanuel’s tangible sense of danger conjured images of destruction and
chaos trailing behind him. At that instant, Austin comprehended the gravity
of his mistake. He understood that Emmanuel had already perfected the skill
of harnessing his killing intent, which had outmatched Austin’s capabilities.
“Is this the kind of killing intent you were expecting?” Emmanuel’s whisper sent
a chill down Austin’s spine as he approached.
In the blink of an eye, Emmanuel stood directly before him. Despite being
shaken to his core, Austin, disciplined by his training regimen, instinctively
made the first move. However, before he could execute his technique,
Emmanuel had already restrained his limbs.
It was the essence of the “Art of Adaptability.” The technique anticipated and
countered the opponent’s every move with precision.
“I have no intention to kill you. Otherwise, you’d be six feet under by now,”

Emmanuel whispered into Austin’s ear. In the blink of an eye, he executed at
grappling technique followed by a shoulder throw and threw Austin off the
stage.

Under normal circumstances, Austin would have been able to land safely.
However, Emmanuel’s commanding presence had momentarily shattered
Austin’s fighting spirit. Surprisingly, Emmanuel’s mere glance stripped Austin,
the “demonic instructor” of Tocvale, of his fighting spirit.
Deep down, Austin recognized the vast difference in their skill levels. Even if
Emmanuel had concealed his true strength before, Austin should have been
able to sense it. Yet, he remained oblivious, simply because their skill
difference was too big.
Austin’s abrupt expulsion from the stage sent shockwaves through the
spectators.
“How... how is this possible?”
Many were left dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events.

Hannah, who had previously underestimated Emmanuel, was now in a state
of panic. She wondered if this unassuming man possessed such strength.
Despite her limited knowledge of martial arts, even she could recognize
Austin’s imposing presence with his muscular physique, fierce demeanor,

and piercing gaze. Yet, she was surprised to witness Emmanuel effortlessly
defeat him.
“Bernett, what are we going to do now? Can Nigel stand a chance against
Emmanuel?” she asked nervously.
She had already cut ties with the Quillen family and repeatedly provoked
them alongside Bernett. She didn’t know how they would recover if they lost.
Bernett also frowned and asked Nigel, “What do you think?”
“Mr. Finch, don’t worry!” Nigel’s confidence remained unwavering despite not
having experienced Emmanuel’s deadly intent firsthand.
Drawing from his experience and skill, he felt more than capable of handling

whatever Emmanuel could throw at him. “I’ve always held back my true
strength. While Emmanuel’s performance exceeded my expectations, he
couldn’t possibly surpass the S- Level. And I, at the very least, am an S Rank
fighter. So, rest assured!”
Hannah’s tense muscles relaxed at his words. She was relieved to hear that
Nigel still had hidden reserves of strength.
“Bernett, you truly are a master strategist!” She embraced him and planted a

kiss on his lips.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled triumphantly. “This is what
we call leaving room for maneuver. If I didn’t have absolute confidence,
would I dare to come to Nuthana to showcase our skills? Would I dare to
challenge Eshal?”
Meanwhile, Bobby had been closely monitoring the performances of the
Finch and Quillen families. As the 32 into 16 stage matches concluded, a brief
interlude allowed him to consult his two top fighters.
