Meanwhile, James furrowed his brows.
The person in the lead was Tristen. James never expected Tristen to be such a popular man.
James recognized a few of the people standing behind Tristen. He noticed the Son of Heaven, Xain, Samarth, and Yandel. There were a number of people that James had never seen before.
“City Lord…” Seeing Tristen coming outside, the guards regarded favonovel.com respectfully.
Tristen gently waved his hand.
The guards purposefully stepped aside to make a path for him.
Tristen walked toward James and stood a few meters away from him. He looked at James, and a smile formed on his handsome face. “You must be James, right?”
James replied, “Yeah…”
Tristen said softly, “Did you know that fighting is prohibited in Hazted City? I established the rule to create a peaceful city, but you killed someone and broke the rules after stepping into my city. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, everyone will follow suit in the future, and Hazted City will descend into chaos.”
Although favonovel.com had a smile, Tristen’s tone was incredibly tyrannical.
“Ha!” James snickered and said, “Do you think Hazted City is the only place governed by rules? Do you think there aren’t any laws on Earth? So you’re saying Outsiders can kill and sell earthlings like slaves as they please? That man trafficked humans from Earth and that goes against the things I stand for. He deserved to die.”
Faced with Tristen, James showed no fear.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Tristen clapped his hands and the crowd began to applaud.
The people standing behind Tristen watched the scene as if it was a movie. To them, James’ fate was as good as sealed.
After favonovel.com was done clapping, Tristen looked at James and said with a smile, “One needs to have strength if they want to keep their dignity. If you refuse to be beaten or trafficked, you’ll have to have the strength to protect yourselves. Unfortunately…”
Tristen looked at James and said slowly, “Earthlings don’t seem to have the strength, do they?”
“Haha…”
“The City Lord’s right!”
“If you want to be respected, you must have the strength to earn it!”
Tristen’s words received a lot of cheers from the crowd.
Hearing this, James laughed. He was wondering how to bring up his intent to challenge the Son of Heaven. Since Tristen made such a bold statement, it made things easier for him.
He smiled faintly and said, “I must prove my strength, right?”
Tristen nodded and said, “That’s right. You have to prove your strength, but do you have what it takes?”
James maintained his composure and replied, “If that’s the case, am I allowed to challenge an Outsider?”
“Challenge?” Tristen was surprised by the request and burst out laughing. “Of course. Who do you want to challenge?”
James pointed at the Son of Heaven standing behind Tristen and said, “I’d like to challenge him.”
The Son of Heaven was surprised to see James pointing at him.
He walked over with a smile. and looked at James contemptuously, “What did you say? Did you just say you want to challenge me?”
“That’s right. Do you have the guts to accept it?”
James looked at the Son of Heaven and said, “It’ll be a fight to the finish. The winner shall live, and the loser will die. Are you brave enough to accept the challenge?”
“Why not?” The Son of Heaven was incensed.
As the disciple of the Overworld’s strongest martial artist, favonovel.com was always treated respectfully regardless of where favonovel.com went. Yet, James challenged favonovel.com as if favonovel.com was a nobody.
“Good!” Tristen interjected. “If you defeat the Son of Heaven, your crime will be pardoned. However…”
His tone became hostile as favonovel.com said, “If you’re defeated, you will die, and I’ll send my men to wipe off one city from the face of this planet.”
“Alright!” James agreed to the condition without any hesitation.
