Chapter 2024 A Random Branch

“Draw your weapon,” uttered Maki as murderous intent surrounded him.

“I won't. Because if I do, you won't stand a chance,” Jared stated calmly.

“Insolence!” Maki barked. “I never duel with someone without a blade in their hands. Draw your

weapon. Today, I shall give you a taste of Jetroina's true swordplay.”

In response, Jared turned to Flaxseed. “I'll leave the chick and her subordinates for you to handle, Mr.

Flaxseed.”

Staring at Mieko with a grin, Flaxseed assured, “Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.”

Mieko was flushed with anger upon noticing his lecherous look.

Jared walked toward a nearby tree and snapped a branch.

Holding the branch, he said, “Now, I have a weapon. You can attack me now.”

Maki was dumbstruck for a moment. He roared, “Are you seriously going to fight me with a branch?”

He's clearly mocking me!

“A branch is good enough for me to take you down. I wasn't even going to use a branch at first.” As

Jared took one step forward, his aura exploded from his body.

After he injected the Power of Dragons into the ordinary branch, it immediately started glowing faintly

and turned unimaginably tough.

Maki was furious. Thousands in Jetroina admire me, yet this brat is making fun of me! Unforgivable!

The katana in his hands began trembling with a buzz.

An aura of bloodlust emanated from the blade. It was clear that the weapon had claimed many souls.

As the katana buzzed, Maki swung it at Jared, tearing black holes open in the space it slashed past.

That feat displayed just how mighty he was.

However, Jared merely lifted his branch in a composed manner and blocked the attack.

Maki's katana clashed against the branch with a loud clang.

Boom!

An explosion followed, its shockwave blowing everyone and everything around it away, including the

nearby mansion.

Jared took two steps backward, his branch broken into two.

Meanwhile, Maki had only taken one step back. He was still holding the katana tightly, and nothing

seemed unusual.

While it would appear Maki was the victor, he didn't think so.

Not only was my blade chipped by his branch, but my wrists are trembling while turning numb! That

attack didn't give me the upper hand at all! I can't believe Jared did all that with a random branch he

snapped from a tree! This frightening power and sensation is something only I can understand! If he

had used a genuine sword instead, our fight would've ended very differently!

Seeing that Maki had gained an advantage, Mieko understood she shouldn't hesitate. With a wave of

her hand, she led her subordinate to attack Ryosuke.

Her mission was to either capture Ryosuke alive or kill him so she could temporarily control the

Watanabe family.
