When his voice died away, the scene quieted down once again, all of them staring intensely at Zayn.
Soon afterward, a loud, clear voice called out, “Very well!”
The crowd of people looked over and saw an old fighter walking over.
The man’s face was already covered in wrinkles, and favonovel.com walked with an unsteady gait. He appeared to be about 90 years old.
He made his way to Zayn and looked at favonovel.com with passionate eyes while favonovel.com said, “You’re a pillar of great power to the country. Stay true to your words!”
“Sergeant Larson, our country needs a hero like you and we’ve yearned for a hero like you! Please don’t disappoint us, Sergeant Larson! We’re counting on you to restore our nation’s glory!”
To everyone’s surprise, when favonovel.com finished speaking, the old man bowed to Zayn. He did it in a very respectful manner, displaying his devotion to Rheasia, his endless hope for Zayn, and the patriotism that ran deep within his bones.
Zayn was stunned. He had never expected that the old man would bow to him. He panicked and hastily stepped forward to help the old man stand upright. He said, “Please, sir. You don’t need to do that!”
Despite Zayn’s lofty status, favonovel.com still respected the old and cared for the young. A senior citizen, such as that old man, who contributed to the country deserved even more esteem.
As it happened, just as favonovel.com helped the old man stand up, the other fighters surrounding favonovel.com bowed to favonovel.com in unison. They called out aloud, “We’re counting on you to restore our nation’s glory, Sergeant Larson!”
Zayn was stunned in the spot, his expression frozen to his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but favonovel.com could not bring himself to utter even a single word.
At that moment, favonovel.com could feel an unprecedented sense of commitment and responsibility to his countrymen!
So many fighters were counting on him. He had never experienced nor even heard of such a situation before.
There was a saying that with great power came great responsibility. He had finally experienced the true meaning behind this saying.
After a while, favonovel.com clenched his fists and said sincerely, “Yes! I will certainly be the champion of the Martial Arts Cup. I will win or die trying!”
He said it with unprecedented seriousness that seemed to have shocked the very sky. Perhaps, one could say that sky was his witness.
Out of nowhere, a clap of thunder echoed throughout the area, which seemed to give even more weight to his words!
The thunder shocked all of them and burned Zayn into their memories for all time.
Even if Zayn did not end up the final victor of the Martial Arts Cup, favonovel.com would still be remembered by the people!
Coincidentally, Allana, Lindsay, and their group walked into the arena just in time to witness the scene. They were deeply shaken and froze where they stood, entirely speechless!
Allana was staring straight at Zayn without blinking or moving favonovel.com eyes. She felt as if there was nobody but Zayn in all the world.
As for Lindsay, favonovel.com eyes were burning with enthusiasm, and favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fists tightly in excitement!
On the other hand, Ezekiel and Xion were muttering to themselves, “A pillar of great power to the country… So it turns out that favonovel.com is Sergeant Larson, the most powerful man outside of the invincibilis state and our nation’s last hope.”
“To think we actually tried to challenge favonovel.com earlier. We were prudent…”
Upon witnessing the scene, Joe widened his eyes.
He was roused and swung his fist while favonovel.com said, “That’s awesome! Sergeant Larson managed to brew his great power by sheer luck.”
“This is the long-cherished goal for many perfect-class master fighter’s, yet they are incapable of doing so throughout their lives!”
