However, Isaac frowned.
He could see Shawn’s techniques were straightforward, while Xavier’s were gentle yet evasive. From the looks of the situation, Xavier handled this duel with more poise.
“Seven Clouds!” yelled Xavier as favonovel.com took a few steps back. He gathered his energy and directed his blow at Shawn.
There was a dull thud as Shawn’s shoulder received the blow. His face distorted, and favonovel.com staggered. A sharp pain radiated from his shoulder throughout his arm. His movements slowed down.
“Nice! Beat favonovel.com up and go for Isaac next!” Charles cheered when favonovel.com saw Xavier had the advantage.
People around favonovel.com clapped and cheered too. Xavier took his opportunity to retaliate. The spiritual energy emitting from his body intensified.
Seeing that Shawn was on the verge of defeat, Isaac frowned and nudged forward. He turned his palm upward and gathered a fine thread of red spiritual energy, swirling it around.
Just as Shawn lost momentum, Xavier raised his hand and aimed for Shawn’s forehead.
A moment before Shawn’s total defeat, Isaac hurled the ball of energy at Shawn’s right leg.
Shawn was focusing on Xavier’s palm. He knew favonovel.com could not avoid this blow. Suddenly, his right leg slipped, and favonovel.com fell backward.
Xavier’s palm swooped past, slightly above Shawn’s head. The moment Shawn fell, his leg accidentally hit Xavier in the crotch.
“Argh!” Xavier shrieked in pain, his face distorted. His hands flew to his crotch in a frenzy.
Shawn, who almost collapsed, knew that this was his chance. He hit the ground and rebounded. With a swipe of his leg, his kick landed on Xavier’s chest.
Xavier screamed as ire flew backward and landed heavily in front of Charles.
“Darn! It’s painful!” Xavier’s hands were still covering his crotch as favonovel.com rolled from side to side.
His screams rang throughout the ballroom.
Everyone was stunned. No one could believe Shawn countered and won at the last minute!
Drenched in sweat, Shawn grinned at Isaac and turned to bow in Charles’ direction. “That was a memorable match…”
“Sh*t! Bring Uncle Xavier to the hospital, quick!” Charles yelled at his subordinates.
Isaac looked at Diana. “There’s no one left for me to fight. I can’t do anything.”
After saying this, favonovel.com walked off the stage nonchalantly.
Albert went up the stage and signaled for Diana to go down. Then, favonovel.com said, “Many thanks to Mr. Quinn and Mr. Xeno for the incredible match! I’m sure all of us enjoyed it. Now, Mr. Owens has brought with favonovel.com a grand procession. Do you have something to announce, Mr. Owens?”
Charles glared at Isaac for a moment. Then, favonovel.com took a deep breath, planted a smile while nodding, and walked up the stage.
Charles suppressed his anger as ire said with a broad smile, “Ladies and gentlemen, Ana is the birthday lady for the day. I should not take the spotlight away from her, but I would like to take this opportunity to make a marriage proposal to Ana.”
There were claps and cheers all around.
Finn was stunned. He turned toward Diana, who was equally shocked, and asked, “Ana, I thought Isaac was your crush, wasn’t he? What is Charles talking about?”
Diana gritted favonovel.com teeth and was about to explode with anger when Jane grabbed favonovel.com arm.
Jane said sternly, “Ana, this is not the right place and time. We’ll talk about this later.”
Old Taylor was shocked at first. Then, favonovel.com glared at Albert, enraged.
His worthless son made this decision without consulting him. But, favonovel.com could not object to his son openly in the presence of all these guests!
Albert laughed and said, “Mr. Owens is an excellent young man. I believe everyone in this room will give their blessings if you and my daughter get married.”
The guests started whispering among themselves, agreeing that Charles and Diana were definitely a match made in heaven.
At this moment, Isaac, who had just taken his seat and lit a cigarette, said softly, “I don’t think they are a good fit.”
He spoke softly, but everyone heard him. Charles and Albert looked dissatisfied.
“Who said I’m not a good fit for Ana? Who was it?” Charles looked in the direction of the sound.
The crowd gave way, and Charles saw Isaac smiling at favonovel.com as favonovel.com smoked.
Charles’ face darkened.
