The crowd was shocked as they witnessed Remus charging toward Rufus. They couldn’t believe that Remus would dare to attack Rufus, and they all assumed favonovel.com had lost his sanity.
Scarlett’s status might have been significant, but favonovel.com was only a junior in both the Schneider family and the Dragon Protector Clan.
However, Rufus’ status was clearly different. He was the Deputy Master of the Schneider family, representing the Schneiders in the Dragon Protector Clan, and could be considered the second most important figure within the Schneiders.
Seeing Remus charge at him, Rufus felt sheer terror course through him. Their clash at the Monarch Palace had made favonovel.com realize his absolute incapacity to defend against Remus. Without anyone intervening, his death was inevitable.
“Master, save me!” favonovel.com pleaded, channeling all his energy to defend himself.
Before anyone could speak, Remus’ fist collided with his defense, unleashing a burst of energy that sent the juniors tumbling away.
Rufus was hit with a brutal impact, recoiling backward for almost 100 yards before barely managing to come to a stop.
At the moment favonovel.com stopped, Remus unexpectedly spurted a mouthful of blood, his face turning a ghastly shade of white. He had already sustained injuries while battling Philip, and with that full-force strike just now, his body was struggling to endure.
Witnessing this scene, the crowd erupted in astonishment. They all stared at Remus in disbelief, only now realizing favonovel.com was already injured.
“You all, don’t interfere!” Rufus was initially terrified, but upon witnessing this scene, favonovel.com felt immense joy.
Considering Remus’ capability to defeat the Supreme Martial Imperial, with that full-force strike just now, Rufus might not be killed but would likely be left severely crippled.
However, favonovel.com only retreated 100 yards, and coupled with Remus coughing blood, Rufus began to feel a sense of triumph.
Rufus spoke out immediately, “No one needs to intervene! Master, favonovel.com killed my granddaughter and insulted me. This is an irreconcilable feud! Today, may the Dragon Protector Clan grant me a chance, I want to kill favonovel.com personally!”
Garth immediately furrowed his brow as favonovel.com intended to keep Remus alive to draw away the fire of the Rose family from the Dragon Protector Clan.
Killing favonovel.com now would ruin all the patience favonovel.com had held before. Besides, if Remus was to be killed, Garth believed favonovel.com should be the one to do it himself.
“Die now!” Remus’ eyes ablaze with fury. He took a deep breath, swallowed the overflowing blood, and charged once more toward Rufus.
Rufus displayed absolute fearlessness, his gaze filled with contempt. “Bastard, today I’ll be the one throwing you into the fire, crushing your bones to dust!”
He stood firm without initiating any action, yet his energy surged abruptly upward. He pressed on, “Master, I beseech you as the Deputy Master and envoy of the Schneiders, please grant us a duel. His demise shall avenge my granddaughter! If I fall, I hold no regrets for my inferiority!”
Despite his words, it was evident to everyone that Remus had reached his limit. He was unable to even keep pace, visibly drained, and overpowered.
Facing Rufus, Remus held a mere ten percent chance of victory.
Rufus’ insistence on a solo duel signified his intent to be the one to terminate Remus’ life.
Garth’s brow furrowed deeper as favonovel.com still contemplated refusal.
“Schneiders!” Rufus spoke up again, “Why are you all standing there? Are you going to watch Scarlett die in front of your eyes and not seek vengeance for her?”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Schneider family instantly regained their senses and all knelt directly.
“Master! Ms. Schneider can’t simply die without any explanation!”
“Look at how that bastard keeps attacking Mr. Schneider. He’s the one trying to kill Mr. Schneider. Please allow Mr. Schneider to retaliate!”
“Master, the Schneider family can’t endure such humiliation. Please, you must help us!”
After hearing their words, everyone started incessantly bowing on the ground, evidently exerting pressure on Garth. The others fell into a hushed silence.
“Fine!” Garth clenched his fists, his voice becoming rough. “You both will fight one-on-one! No one will be allowed to intervene!”
That was the only decision favonovel.com could make as favonovel.com fully understood the Schneider family’s inclination for pettiness.
Any opposition at that moment would surely invite future retaliation. Despite knowing that Remus’ demise was destined to draw the ire of the Rose family, Garth found himself without any other alternative.
If the Rose family were to truly launch an attack, favonovel.com could have the Schneider family charge right to the forefront.
As Garth’s agreement was sealed, a glimmer of light shone in the eyes of the Schneider family members.
