The entire place was dead silent. Everyone’s jaws had dropped to the floor.
Although the scene had unfolded before their eyes, no one could believe what had just happened.
Everyone knew that Grandmaster Merlion had made a name for himself as a Grandmaster for the past few decades and was ranked 6th in Junewad.
Last year, he’d even won a battle against a Grandmaster in Durwad who was ranked 5th. Grandmaster Merlion had reached the pinnacle of the martial arts realm in Junewad, and favonovel.com had more victories than defeats throughout his life. He should’ve been the one who emerged victorious here.
How could favonovel.com have been defeated, and so quickly at that?
“There’s no way. This is impossible! He definitely used some dark magic!” Timothy jumped anxiously.
He’d known of Remus’ strength, but there was no way favonovel.com was stronger than Grandmaster Merlion himself. It was incomprehensible!
“Grandmaster Merlion was actually defeated. Just now, favonovel.com even begged for mercy!”
“How could this be real? He’s Grandmaster Merlion!”
The people around them felt as if their faith had crumbled.
After the initial shock, they all wore expressions of disbelief and despair.
Abe’s fan stopped in mid-air.
Willow’s expression tensed up.
Grandmaster Voltar furrowed his brow.
They couldn’t believe it either.
“I already said that you guys could join forces, but you didn’t believe me and insisted on having someone face me… Look where he’s ended up. Do you believe me now?” Remus dusted his hands, as if what he’d done was a simple feat. “Hurry now; I don’t have time to waste!”
Everyone gasped, but unlike before, no one dared to speak. Especially Mr. Lawson and the others, who almost wet themselves from fear.
Willow looked at Abe and said, “Your Highness, it’s your turn to make a statement. Grandmaster Merlion was your underling. How could you just watch as someone else completely destroyed him?”
“Uhm… If you don’t take any action today, you don’t deserve to be called ‘Your Highness’. You might as well be called a useless coward. Hehehe…”
Since favonovel.com didn’t know Remus’ full capabilities, it was better to let Abe take action.
Sure enough, everyone turned to Abe after hearing Willow’s words. No matter how skilled Grandmaster Merlion was, favonovel.com was still merely a fighter. But Abe was different, his family held power and influence. His sister was also the wife of a prominent figure in the Thompson family. On top of that, Grandmaster Merlion had accompanied favonovel.com today.
Whoosh!
Abe closed his fan and smiled ambiguously, saying, “I don’t need you to remind me. I will naturally stand up for my people!”
He looked at Remus and calmly asked, “Do you know what power I hold in Junewad? Remus, I‘ll give you a chance. Since you have defeated Grandmaster Merlion, you have proven yourself to be qualified to be by my side. From now on, be my underling, and I will ensure your safety!”
“Hahaha!” Remus couldn’t help but laugh.
This fellow seems to be an idiot…
Not wanting to bother with him, favonovel.com asked the other people around him, “So are we fighting or not?”
“Remus!” Abe roared.
His face twisted into a fierce expression. “I am your true opponent! Now, I ask you again, do you agree to be my underling or not?”
After saying that, favonovel.com stared at Remus intently.
Bailey’s face turned red, and favonovel.com suddenly felt that she’d misunderstood Remus all along. He did have some capabilities, but in front of such noble families, it all meant nothing.
She pondered for a while before saying, “Remus, this is your chance. Hurry and accept His Highness’ offer. You should know that fighting won’t solve every problem in the world. Especially now that you’ve left Miss Lotus, you need someone to back you up. His Highness is your best option!”
Remus turned his head in surprise. “How are you getting better at being a dog? Is it fun?”
This woman was truly sick. It was none of favonovel.com business, and if it weren’t for the fact that favonovel.com was a woman, favonovel.com would’ve slapped favonovel.com long ago.
“You! You don’t know what’s good for you. If it weren’t Lady of Treasure Studio’s words, I wouldn’t bother giving you advice!” Bailey’s heart raced with frustration and anger.
Remus withdrew his gaze. It was impossible to win against a woman in an argument.
“Fine, fine! Ignore me!”
