“Pift!”

Blood spurted from Alastair’s mouth.

Emmett bellowed. “Father! Mr. Shields, we, the Ginger family, admit defeat…

“The Ginger family concedes. The martial arts tournament is over!”

What a pity! It was unclear whether Soren did it on purpose, but when he made the announcement, he

deliberately left a three-second pause.

For Alastair, who had completely lost his ability to resist, three seconds was lethal.

Travis’ murderous intent was fully revealed.

He planned to use these three seconds to annihilate the Ginger family, leaving them no chance.

whatsoever to rise again.

Воот!

A fist imbued with raw, frenzied power was hurled toward Alastair, who had already fallen to the

ground. Amidst the angry and terrified screams of the Ginger family, a figure suddenly shot out from

their direction.

Boom!

Travis’ punch, brimming with unparalleled ferocity, gave everyone a single impression. That’s ruthless!

Evidently, Travis had absolutely no intention of leaving even a sliver of opportunity for the Ginger family.

It was clear to everyone because when Soren was about to declare the end of the martial arts

tournament, not only did Travis not stop, but he launched an even more frenzied attack.

This increasingly made everyone realize that the Houghton family was not to be messed with.

Everyone thought that in the future in Juxshire, it was necessary to cater more to the wishes of the

Houghton family. Otherwise, the end result would certainly be more tragic than Alastair’s.

Just when everyone thought there would be bloodshed on the spot, a figure suddenly shot out from the

direction of the Ginger family, rushing onto the stone platform. Immediately after, he pulled Alastair

away, causing Travis’ attack to miss.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Who is that young

man?

Coughing up blood, Alastair thought he was truly going to die under Travis’ fist. Seeing the person

who saved him, he said in a weak voice, “Thank you, Mr. Lund… For saving my life….

“Don’t speak!”

First, Emrys sealed Alastair’s heart meridian with an acupuncture needle, controlling the energy and

blood that was ebbing away from his b*dy. Only then did he rise to his feet and look toward. Travis,

asking. “Do you intend to kill someone?”

Travis was left stunned after his attack missed.

In the situation moments earlier, Alastair was almost certainly facing death. Travis could never have

imagined that someone could actually save Alastair at the critical moment.

When he heard Emrys’s interrogation, the shock in his heart deepened even saved Alastair is

more. The person who

Steadying his nerves, Travis said with feigned calmness, “In the world of martial arts, accidents

happen. Life and death are part of the norm.”

“Didn’t you hear that the Ginger family has already admitted defeat?”

“Apologies, but I can’t afford to be distracted during a fight. I couldn’t hear the voices from the

audience. Unless the umpire declares the match over, it’s impossible for me to stop,” Travis stated, his

argument reasonable and justified.

Emrys didn’t question him any further. Instead, he suddenly turned his gaze toward Soren on the side,

sneering coldly, “You, the pest of the Martial Arts Alliance, are indeed the epitome of fairness and

justice!”

Soren’s face changed instantly. He thundered, “What did you say?”

“What did I say?” Emrys continued to sneer, “On the surface, it looked like you were confiscating.

Travis’ secret weapon, but in reality, you secretly handed him a pill that could instantly enhance his

cultivation base. Is this what you call fairness and justice?”

His voice echoed throughout the entire square.

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

In reality, they had sensed something was wrong from the beginning. If Travis was truly a powerful

Manifestor, he wouldn’t have needed to use secret weapons when he couldn’t win. Wouldn’t it have

been better if Travis had simply revealed his true strength?

Many people had already speculated that Travis might have taken some kind of pill. However, even if

they had figured it out, they were afraid to voice their suspicions, and some even felt a sense of

unease.

That was because even if they could identify the issue, it was impossible for Soren to ignore it. Yet,

Soren acted as if nothing had happened. This indicated that Soren was indeed colluding with Travis.

If even the minister of the Martial Arts Alliance had shown favoritism, no one would dare to come

forward and question the fairness of the tournament.

family.

That meant that Vivian offended someone she shouldn’t have. She felt so regretful that she wanted to

pop some pills to calm herself down.

Seeing this, Kenneth snapped, “Look at what you’ve done. Our partnership with Amirate Corporation

has fallen through. Do you know how much the company will lose?”

Vivian shivered. However, she wasn’t thinking about the company’s losses, but Grace. She had

offended Grace. If Grace wanted to settle the score in the future, it would be as easy as crushing an

ant.

“Mr. Williams, Gina was the one that caused this. It has nothing to do with me. Now that Gina has been

fired, please calm down.”

Kenneth sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

Now that things have come to this, what was done was done.

“Forget it. Leave.”

Vivian felt relieved and left the office dejectedly.

As soon as she stepped out, she made a phone call. “Prepare some luxurious gifts for me. It must be

the top-notch ones. I’ll come pick them up right away.”

After hanging up, she couldn’t care less about her work and left the company quickly.

On the other hand, Acme Group organized a party after the signing ceremony.

As the most honored guests of the party, Grace and Xander naturally enjoyed the highest level of

hospitality.

During the party, various businesspeople from Dunhill came over to make a toast to them.

“Ms. Lewis is truly outstanding at business and everything else. I really admire you!”

“It’s a blessing for Dunhill to have Amirate Corporation here, and we look forward to working with you in

the future,”

“We’ve all witnessed Ms. Lewis’ capabilities. I hope I have a chance to work with Amirate Corporation

too.”

Grace smiled and silently accepted their praise as she downed a few more drinks.

Xander noticed her face was red and helped her drink a few glasses of wine.

At this moment, someone teased, “Ms. Lewis, you have such a wonderful partner. Mr. Fulton is like the

finishing touch to the beautiful painting of life!”

Grace blushed even more.

She glanced at Xander, disappointed to see him maintain a straight face.

However, the next moment, Xander said, “It’s an honor to stay by her side.”

Grace flashed a bright smile and tugged at Xander. “I’m tired. Let’s go outside for some fresh air.”

He agreed and exchanged greetings with the surrounding guests. Then, the two slipped out of the

banquet.

They took in the fresh air, and Grace felt much more awake.

She turned to Xander and asked, “Are you bothered by what they said?”

Xander raised an eyebrow in confusion.

But when his eyes met hers, he gently shook his head and said, “Actually, they read my mind. ”

Grace’s heart pounded. It felt loud on this quiet night.

Xander looked at her affectionately, as if he had a lot to say.

But in the end, he just said, “Gracie, when can you give me a chance?”
